In statement this morning MI
Castle said:
Only two ways for raising funds
have been authorized by the local Rel
Cross, and then only through officia
channels. The first way Is our month
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-10-01

IL Subscription list which has been in
use now since the first part OF Au-
gust, and by few individuals before
that. This subscription list must be
continued as we must be assured OF
steady supply OF cash and materials
for war uses.
The second method is that of menu
befship in the National Red Cross.
We have been receiving a few mem
berships right along and the great
drive Saturday brought in over $4,000
more. There are q great many who
had no chance to join on Sunday, 81
membership subscriptions will be re-
ceiyed at the local office, 125 Mer-
chant street, telephone 60SS, at any
time.
I'VE have had any number OF re-
quests for authorization to give Red
Cross benefit entertainments. None OF
these will be authorized by the chap.
ter OF course people who give en-.
tertainments of various kinds may vol
unfairly pay over any part or all Of
their proceeds to the Red Cross, but
1t must be distinctly understood that
these are not official benefits and
| the use of the Rod Cross insignia is
prohibited. Our local chapter appre-
eiates the support of the merchants
and business houses to date, and wants
to make it clear that the chapter IL
self is only in the business OF re-
lceiving donations in cash or BY way
of membership"

What Of Your Flag?


If an American eagle were to fly over this city
he would scream with indignation, as that wonder
full eve of his took in some of the tattered and dis
colored flags that are flying to the breeze. A flag
that is sooty. grimy or faded is not pretty sight
and should be replaced or cleaned.
The flag, when flying from some tall statf against
blue sky. is the proudest thing that loyal Amer
leans can feast their eyes upon, and Old Glory is
at its best when borne by marching men, waving
proudly from IFS staf. But there are instances in
this city where it is not waving proudly at ALL Its
broad stripes and bright stars are grimy and be
draggled, faced and much frayed out, slit at the
ends sometimes nearly to the blue or what Mas
cnce blue field.
IT is up to the owner manager whoever has
the authority to have the flag set, to see that ITS
colors are kept bright red, white and blue. If one
is loyal enough to display the flag, he should sure
ii see TO it that il is always kept spotless.
Some well meaning citizens have nailed their flag
to the mast with The idea that it shall remain up
till the war is won. This is the right spirit but il
should be remembered that tattered and torn flags
are honorable only when brought from the battle
field Repair the flag. Put new binding on it
Wash it. Good bunting will stand all kinds Of
scrubbing. We know that you are loyal citizen
or You weuld not have the flag displayed, but fur
ther honor the flag by keeping it immaculate

Publicity And the Red Cross

What WAS the secret OF the success Of the hed
Cross drive?
Publicity A steady bOmbardment of puollcl'E'
This does not discount the splendid craftsmanship
that has been done by individuals and orSahiH"-
lions 1t does not detract from the natural loyalty
of our average citizens.
In order TO make the Red Cross drive success
the people of this city and territory had 10 pe
aroused.
There was lust one way 10 do this and that way
was taken~-publicity--a systematic campaign OUT.
lined by expert publicity men, followed by ORGANIZED
selling TO take advantage of the awakening ana IN
turn serve the awakened people by making 1t easy
for them To give.
Chicago learned this in the great Liberty Loan
drive That is why the Chicago idea mas hau
such a vogue throughout the country; why II was
Endorsed by the national convention OF advertising
clubs and why it has been used IN every prlhclpdi
city of the country. Honolulu picked up this idea
and improved on it.
Some people think that if certain men III the com,
munity snap their fingers and say come mere
avervone should respond without further say so.
But the other ninety-nine aud nlnetenths OF 'he
1eope are not built that way. They want TO know
why They also want to know how. IheE wait
10 know the occasion and the reason
This is why the business leaders of the nation
once they got into the war business, Immediately
began 10 handle the great national merchandise
proprams lust as they would the merchandising
eamnaipns in their own successful business Refer
once is made to the business leaders who have come
10 the front in mainland activities, not the peanut
stand men. who sit back, do nothing, complain and
whine
First the people should know. And the easiest
the a1Iickest and therefore the best and efficient
method of procedure was through the mediums of
publicity that secure personal contact with the in
dvidual citizen--the newspapers.
Second the appeal was repeated. The man who
failed to see it today began to take notice tomor-
row And so on each days reminder helped to
dispel the clouds of ignorance and indifference.
Finally when the time came for the canvassers
to do their work they found an enlightened, will
ing and an enthusiastic population to deal with
Those who have to do with public life know that
the heart of the peopleiis right. To put the life
blood in action and moving in the right direction,
ii has to be stirred and directed with accurate in
formation.
Publicity is the power of every righteous and
worthy cause whether it is goods you have to sell
OF a duty to which you are calling your fellow
eountrymen.
Again the educational value of the campaign
must not be forgotten The soliciting is finished
hut the interest in the Red Cross has just begun
This is the preliminary. From now until the end
Of the war ant long after peace has been declared
thousands of citizens of Hawaii will have personal
interest in the Red Cross and its work They will
have cultivated public spirit They better able
to act intelligently when moved TO help worthy
and great national cause.

Ny Dear Boy:
| did not have the>opportunity had hoped to talk
with YOU last evening-and therefore, take this
opportunity. when We are sending YOU your mittens
and the envelopes which YOU forgot to give YOU a
few last words of atfectOnate counsel from home.
One of your first duties d soldier will be to
take all the you Of your health. The frmer
that is the better you will be able do any service,
or undergo any fatigue required Of YOU. To pre-
serve your health, you must try to lead as regular
and temperate life as is possible. hope YOU will
not try to avoid your full share of labor. danger.
or exposure where either is necessary called
for. Take every proper occasion for bathing YOUR
whole body-and scrupulOusly regard your personal
cleanliness, no matter how much trouble it may give
you. Have nothing to do with spirtuOus liquors of
any kind. Take your food regularly you can
get it, and neither eat immoderatey nor 60 a long
lime witholt food if you can avoid it. Especially
be careful not to eat to after long fasting
/ hope you will never disgrace yourself by any
profaneness 0bseenity and will avoid all CONVEX
sation and companions where they are practised or
allowed
Try to preserve a cheerful and cOntented spirit
and encourage it in others Bear hardships without
grumbling and always try to do more, rather than
less, than your duty. You ,ciU hare occasion to be
patient much Oftener than to be brdre.
The duty of soldier is unquestionng obedience
but, beyond this, hope you will cultivate kind,
respectful, and considerate temper toward your
officers
hope YOU are going with love for your country
and your cause, and with a determination to be
faithful to every duty you have undertaken. My
boy, you bear the name of one who, to the end of
his honored life, never shrunk from duty how
ever painful nor from danger to which duty call
ed him. Be sure that you do no discredit to it
Neither by cowardiee, by falsehood by impuritt,
by levity, nor by selfshness. Remember always your
your return with pride and joy if you shall come
back in virtue and honor; who will cherish your
memory if, faithful and true, you have given up
your life; but to whom your disgrace would cause
La pang sharper than death. Remember your obliga.
ti0ns to duty and to God. And may these thoughts
keep you from temptation and encourage and
strengthen you in danger or sickness
And now, my dear boy, commend you to God
and to the power of His grace. May God bless and
keep you. Think of your Heavenly Father in health
and in sickness, in joy and in sorrow Go to Him
for strength and guidance. You are very dear to
Jour hearts-and your absence leaves great place
vacant in our home. If it be according to His will
may you come back to us in. safety and honor
but whatever is before us, may His mercy and love
be ever with you and His grace be sufficient for you
With deep affection,
Your father,

LAW AND PueLlc OPINION.

And now former Iowa judge OF dis
trict court who lives in Montana
where women vote and where prohibi
tionists have robbed the state of its
wild and woolly reputation comes for
ward with an opinion by another Iowa
Judge, member of the supreme cour,
long ago, which held the Iowa blue
laws invalid within few years after
they were enacted.
Although the resurrection of Judge
Masons opinion, which goes back into
history to the time of Henry VII, was
not necessary to prove the blue laws
present invalidity, the discovery by
Judge Nichols of Montana doubtless
will have some effect on whatever
may remain of Attorney General Hav'
ner's crusade to enforce them IN this
year 1917.
The trouble about enforcing them
seems to have been that Mr.. Havner
was almost the only person in Iowa
who cared hang about their enforce
ment, while there were several who
we're quite actively willing that they
remain forgotten and unsung.
The failure of the blue law campaign
is merely another proof of the useless.
ness of statutes which do not accord
with public opinion
