CATCH THE FOOD SHARKS

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: How much longer will the
price booster, under the guise of bust
ness, be allowed TO take the life blood
of the nation through the channel of
trade" When will some of these
commissions do something besides
prepare for an investigation" All
speed to the proposed law that will
allow one government to reach" the
food spectators. Let US have the
law that will unlock the food supply
and meter out retribution to those
spectators who are as much our
enemies as those who have declared
war against US.
The situation that is developing in
this country il Of a more threatening
nature than any like contingency in
Europe. Even so long ago as last May
We find, by comparison, that in Eng
land, where every ounce of food from
the outside is menaced by German
submarines. the bread that was sold
there was made from flour imported
from th:J country, at half the cost Of
bread made from similar flour here.
From statistics quote: May 10, 1917,
flour in United States sold at $3.50.
In England it sold, on the same date
for $500. On May IL, 1917, potatoes

SHIPPING BOARD COMPLAINT.

The settlement of the shipping board controversy
recalls the story Of telegram sent to relative
that a maiden aunt of sour disposition had died
The relative responded with the query: "What com
plaint?' The answer was: ''No complaint; every,
body satisfied"
The shipping board episode has been unfortunate
in extreme.
The merits and dement's may occupy az much space
ands unhappy comment as the Sampson Schley
squabble-after the war is over. For the present
and let rs hope for all time, it appears that the
president has done exactly the right thing. The
situation was intolerable. The nations business
could not wait A clean sweep and that alone
could clear the wreckage and enable business to
proceed. Better the mistakes Of action than to be
saddled with the cumulative errors Of controversy
and delay.
Mr.. Hurley, named to succeed Mr.. Denman, has
only recently retired from public service as chair
man Of the Federal Trade Commission. The coun-
try can thank him for giving that commission in,
diyiduality and character from the very start. 1t
therefore has good reason to believe that this next
venture will be a success He has the advantage of
business and administrative experience, and the
record Of his shipping board predecessors is SOL
emn warning Of the known dangers he and his asso-
ciates must avoid.

THE AMERICAN

Oh, U. s. A., our U. s. A., forever wilt
thou be,
Deserving of the holy love thy chill
dren bear to thee.
Behold our arming for thy defense,
and eager for thy sake,
To fair where wars appalling blasts,
like tempests round US break.
Content with any sacrifice though
death be close at hand,
Because of our devoted love for thee,
our mighty land.
Though perils compass you about,
though foes in legions rise,
We see the star Of U. 8. A. shine
clearly in the skies.
And with the courage that It brings
our blood wen shed for thee,
Each drop a gem that well may grace
the crown of liberty.
And while that star holds out to
shine, its light will not depart,
To leave in darkness and despair the
brave American heart.
Beneath our homely workmen's garb
our bosoms nobly thrill,
With all the lofty sentiments our
country can instilI.
For ever. have our eyes been turned
to7ayery far frontier, - - 2~'s>
Where HAPPY an invading force might
venture to appear.
We are the men who made you great,
who nobly firm and true,
Will dare to do the mighty deeds we
dreamed that we might do.
And when the time Of peace has come,
and wondering children see, ~
The wounds the war"worn warriors
received for thee.
They, too, shall be inspired to deeds
upon the fields of war,
To match the glorious records that
their fathers made before.
Let all who see the colors pass with
heads uncovered stand,
And reverence these protectors of
thee, our mighty land.
Oh, q. S. A., the sweetest name the
brave American speaks,
As he patrols the shining shores or
watches from the peaks.
Their country is their life, their all, let
every woman's prayer,
Arise to God to bless them, and the
mighty arms they bear. zH3t
Oh Sun, which gilds our lovely land.

IT'S Practical Patriotism

Bringing politics into public business where the
war and preparations for the war are concerned is
the work of mighty small men. case in point is
that of one of our territorial officials, major in
the army reserve, who has recently been called to
active duty. His departure to enter his country s
service and his motives since he left the territory
have been the occasion for sneers and innuendo.
Personalities should not enter into such an at
fair. 1t il purely matter Of service. Superinten-
dent Of Public Works Forbes has demonstrated his
patriotism he il surely entitled to have his posi-
ton held open for him while he is away on the ma
tons business. 1t is an obligation that is recog
niSed by every employer Of labor in the country
whose employees answer the call to war and there
is no reason why the territory should not do like
wise.
Major Charles r. Forbes, now ON active service
in the army of the United States has demonstrated
that he 10 prepared and ready to do his share II
all the people of the United States ready to
render their services to their country as he has
been, there il strong likelihood that the United
States would now have its big army Of trained SOL
ders in the trenches instead Of just setting about
the task Of forming that army and giving it months
Of preliminary training before it will be in posi-
ton to take care Of itself.

Sheriff Rose Put to the Test

Sheriff Rose as head of the police force Of the
CITY and county Of Honolulu is right smack up
AGAINST the test of whether he amounts to anything
or not.
Not alone are the men Of the United States army
prohibited from using intoxicating liquors while IN
uniform, but each and every citizen OF the United
States, any person indeed is prohibited from sell
ing or giving the soldiers liquor in any form.
This is a war measure to protect the health ana
preserve the morale Of the engaged in the busl
ness of war.
Every man with q spark of American loyalty in
his makeup knows that now, if never before his
plain duty lie to support this law. Ohcers OF THIS
city who fail to enforce the law are as derelict IN
their duty as the slackers and the towards who
run away from danger.
It is Sheriff Roses particular job to 30 efclently

This is Sheriff Roses share in this fight. He can
no more evade the issue than he can check the steady
march of national progress.
The sheriff will either control this situation or
he will be branded with the ignominy OF having
failed at time when his country called.
Furthermore this situation will not wait for fool
