HaWaiians and the Band

This contest over the leadership Of the band
means more to the people IF Hawaiian blood than
many Of them seem to realize.
1t is generally accepted by at least those who
have been mixed up in political campaigns that the
Hawaiians are very jealous Of their ability To do
all that can he done by any others. do it as we'll
and perhaps better.
No one will argue that point. But the Hawaiians
should bear in mind that in this band controversy
the issue is brought into bold relief
The Hawaiian hand is of the institutions of
Hawaii. 1t was built up. developed and made
famous throughout the country by haoe. The
years of work done by this have resulted in the
establishment of Hawaiian music in permanent
form and it has also served to bring out the natural
musical talent Of the native race. There have been
variations, help from other directions but the Ha-
waiian band and Capt Berger are at the bottom
OF it all, the foundations so to speak.
Now the whole government in far as it re-
lates to the band is in the hands of and under the
management of Hawaans. The bandsnen are ap-
pointed by Hawaiians, the salaries are controlled
by Hawaiians. the musical programs the work.
the new material to provide the band with players,
the discipline, the practise, everything in fact that
will make or break the Hawaiian band is in the
hands of and under the control of Hawaiians.
What are they going to do about it?
Here is the chosen field of our citizens of the
native race. Here is the opportunity for further
development into the greatest musical organization
the country has known, or by petty factional,
political and personal pickering to allow the band
of today which is the product of years of hard work.
pass into disrepute, lack of discipline lack of
music, lack of progress, lack of everything that
gives strength and character
So far as the general public is able to make out
the Hawaiian band is headed toward general
wreck. Music is forgotten and politics is the chief
object of the organization.
1t is time for the Hawaiians to wake up, show
their capacity for management as we'll as music,
save the band and at the same time the reputation
of the Hawaians as a people.
If the don't there is only one resultl-failure and
dscredit.

The First Loss

The first loss 10 the navy in this war comes more
as a jolting reminder that we are IN the MIDST OF
a great war, rather than a surprising incident.
We could not expect to go through the war with
out loss The fight is fight to the finish and
10 destroy the enemy is the purpose for which the
ships of the warning forces are patroling the seas
Tn 10 the present time our men have completely
outwtted and outfOught the pirate Prusslans. This
has been done by consistent policy of aggression
under which the enemy is hunted down before be
is able to strike his special prey the defenseless.
Now the pirate happens TO have put one OF our
naval ships out of action.
The only thought and the only possible answer
is to renew the energy force the fighting drive the
enemy from every fOothold, strike him down when
ever and wherever found.
That answer is to be made not only by the boys
on the ships. We know what they will do.
The thought is addressed especially to the men
and the women, the boys and girls, every natural
born American right here in Honolulu and through
the Territory of Hawaii.
Be sure that you respond to this loss on the At
lantic by doing your share in fighting the enemy
as you find him here at home and about you.
II we have any among us who are giving aid to
the enemy by act suggestion, or sheer, or COW.
ardly undermining of the support that should be
given country, to it that they dealt with
as an enemy should be dealt with. See that they
are stricken down so far concerns their ability
TO do further harm.
This is fight, fellow citizens 1t may take losses
to make you believe it, But it is fight, and the
person who is not for the United States of Amer
lea as against the Prussian at home and abroad
is an enemy, piratical murderous enemy.
Can you do less than the boys at the front in put
ting that enemy out of action?

RAISING MONEY FOR ROADS.

system of state roads in Illinois, embracing
1000 miles, and all hard-surfaeed, is to be built
exclusively by the proceeds of taxation on automo-
biles according to project to be submitted to the
voters of that state next November. In word, let
the automobile provide its highways.
The proposal, which will be of interest to auto
mobile owners everywhere, is advocated by the
American Highway Association in the following:
s'The planning of these roads, so as to be Of I'M
questionable benefit TO the entire state and there
fore justifable object upon which to spend state
money, received long, careful study 1t was neces-
sary 10 afford the greatest good to the greatest
Der of people, TO give careful attention to the cost
of competitive routes and to distribute the expen-
diture the state in such way that no section
could claim with fairness that it was treated in
equitably The network of state roads passes
through every county in the state and connects all
a few north and south roads intersected by few
east and west roads; it was laid out to meet the
traffic needs of the state rather than to conform
with the points of the compass.
"The most interesting feature of the project is
the method of raising the money for the work. 1t
is proposed to issue bonds which will be paid off
from the proceeds of automobile taxation exclusive
w. Prolonged study of the use of improved roads
has convinced the state officials that such state
wide system of highways will be used extensively
by automobiles and trucks that the cost Cf the i'm
provements should be borne by the owners of such
vehicles At present the license fee for ranges
from So for ten horsepower less to $40 for fifty
horse power Next year the taxes will be increased
so that the limits will be $3.50 to 500 and in 1920
they will be increased to Sc and $50, The present
motorcycle fee of 81 will be increased to So in 1918
and 81 in 1920. The fee for electric vehicles up to
twenty tons capacity is So; this will be increas-
ed to $40 next year and 81 in 1920. Electric veh
cles of two tons pay double these fees except
in 1920 when the license will be $50.
1T is proposed to begin issuing bonds in 1920
putting out $10.000000 in that year. and to make
similar issue annually until the total bonded in
debtedness is S600OoO0O 1t is proposed to let the
first contract in 1920 In that year it Is estimated
that the license fees will amount to 500 900 The
state officials estimate that in 1914 the fees will
amount to $6OOO0oO, and both principal and inter
est will have been paid. The interest rate which
is proposed for the bonds is 1-2 per cent"

discredit.

That the United States government is straining
every resource to meet the demands of the war is
evident from the fact that even the importantly
of Viscount Ishii does not avail to relax the en-
bargoes gold and steel to relieve Japans extrem-
ity 1t is to be wondered why Japan does not try
to help herself in this emergency by securing con-
cessions in China for developing gold and iron re-
sources in that country. Such enterprises would
be boon to China at the present time, and her ae-
quiescenee therein be earnest of her good faith
in aligning herself with the league of democracy.

The California antitrust law, under which Los

with view to having a similar measure enacted
for this territory There is little doubt that not
only in the matter of foodstufs but with regard TO
other articles of general consumption prices are
sometimes marked up here without justification of
Increased cost to the dealers Advantage is simply
