Running Vice Out of Town

District Attorney IInbcrs announcement 'ha' ~,
will tackle the vice problem 81 Honolulu has the
right ring 1t is TO he assumed that this means Il
vigorous fight. and il ought 10 be winning one
The problem is difficult because large Populd-
ton with not much TO do and plenty OF easy money
going the rounds is more difficult one to deal with
than population busily engaged.
Difficulty does not stop the action or the progress
of determined men and officials. 1t may cause de
laved results but that is all. Men and women OF
the type that makes the United States OF America
a forward looking courageous nation, do not oes
pair when faced with difficulty.
Problems and hard situations stir the fighting
blood Of citizens worth while.
So it is that the vice problem of Honolulu should
be approached with the steadfast determination to
wipe it out and the exercise of sufficient brains to
do it thoroughly. To do this means that cour
ageous prosecuting officer must have not alone the
kindly moral support of those who seek improved
conditions. This support must be active and in
clude a Willingness to work rather than to make
excuses when there is a call for action.

What Sheriff Rose Could Do

Sheriff Rose has remarked that a small appropra-
ton would enable him to place an extra officer on
Kalakaua avenue to prevent speeding
If an additional officer or officers are needed, it
is very poor public policy to withhold the appro-
priation.
The general public merely wishes to know the
actual necessity exists, that capable men will be
employed and efficient service demanded. Given
this, and no person of average sense will raise OBJ
lection
