Edward B. Mullaney, until recently

ty-eight caliber Colt revolver and point

The would-be suicide was so much
under the influence of liquor that his
hand wobbled and when he pulled the
trigger the bullet grazed his left shoul
der. He fell to the ground and was ear
ried TO the emergency hospital.
Mullaney has for long time past
been heavy drinker but three weeks

Unreasonable Booze

s"lIE indications are that Honolulu is due for
shaking down in the matter of the illegal sale
+ OF booze to soldiers, such has so thoroughly
disgraced the city during the past two or three
weeks. The saloons have not been obeying the
spirit of the law, whatever observance they have
been giving to the letter and those few which have

haps to be wiped out of existence altogether.
There is documentary evidence to show that
from one saloon last week one man. bum pur-
chased more than forty TASKS of whskey during
one day. That such could be possible without the
saloon men knowing that this booze was for illegal
sale is uncomfortable. This is one case of many
known to the authorities, proof positive that the
desire OF the army heads that their men be kept
sober is being houted.
To-day in Honolulu the booze business is almost
reasonable 1t is certainly unpatridtic. The whole
business ought to be wiped out without any fur

Uncalled-for Demands

THE Japanese laborets on Hawaiian planta

all things considered than any other class of agr
cultural workers in any partof the world. On
seven typical plantations, representative Of con
,,itons on Oahu Maui and Hawaii from the period
Of the adoption of the bonus last year--for seven
months-the average daily earnings OF the labor
ers, day and contract, was $lz4, added to which
the laborers received free houses, free fuelg free
water and free medical attendance, sufficient to
bring the average pay for each day worked to
more than two dollars.
This is decidedly higher than the average earn
ings of farm laborers on the mainland, the year
around it is much higher than plantation labor
receives in Cuba, Porto Rico, the Fis or any other
cane sugar producing country. 1t is a wage scale
shat is drawing the labor from the city back the
plantations and it has been reflected throughout
the CITY in the decided increase Of the past year
in the wages OF yard boys and house servants.
There is absolutely no complaint, so far can
be learned from the plantation laborers especial
" at this time when the wage plus the bonus for
this year will be higher than for last year when
it averaged more than two dollars, including the

Yet there has arisen an agitation in Honolulu,
cause Of the war, when the increase since the be-
ginning of the war has been seventy-fve per cent
already Taking part in this agitation are the
Japanese bankers, the Japanese storekeepers the
Japanese hotel keepers and the Japanese editors.
1t is an uncalled-or agitation, the launching Of
movement to create dissatisfaction amongst salts
fed workers. the beginning Of campaign which
hodes no good to the community. 1t appears to
be purely artificial creation, this demand for more
lpay for men and women who are not asking for
more, and raised at time when the sugar produc-
,rs are facing uncertain future, the one GER
tainty of which is that there are to be excess and
super-taxes and war demands that were not con-
sidered when the bonus rate was voluntarily
granted.
The situation calls for some plain speaking to
those who have undertaken to create trouble where
none exists and who speaking for the planta-
ton laborers without any authority that can be
traced. If the Japanese business community of
Honolulu is going to undertake the disrIpting bf
the amicable relations that now exist between en-
ployers and employed in Our main industry the
sooner the facts are brought to light the better.
Certainly this of all times is not the time to start
an unnecessary labor row

CALL extended TO
!. REV. A. v. PALMER
Central Union Church Asks Ply
mouth Church Pastor, Oak
land, To Fill Pulpit

Rev. Albert W. Palmer will likely
be the next minister of Central Union
Church, for the church body at a meet
ing yesterday decided to extend call
to Mr.. Palmer to fill its pulpit. The
call is an enthusiastic one and there is
every reason to believe that Mr.. Palm
er will accept it.
The pulpit of Central Union has had
no regular occupant since Rev. DR.. Dore-
mus Scudder resigned as minister, to
take up church work in Japan, where
he had spent many years previously.
Then, too, Rev. A. A. EbeTsole, the as
sociate minister, had resigned previous
ly to that to do church work among the
allied armies in Europe.
Rev. Mr.. Palmer who is pastor of the
Plymouth Church of Oakland, Califor-
MIA, spent several weeks in Honolulu
and the Islands recently and during his
stay here occupied the pulpit Of Cen
trail Union on several occasions. He
also addressed the Men's League of
Central Union Church at an informal
gathering of the members on August
8. Mr.. Palmer returned to the main
land in the Matsouia on August 10.
During his address to the Men s
League Mr.. Palmer said that during
the next six months he woUld be in
charge of relief and social work of the
| Y. M. G. A., at the military training
camp at Camp Fremont, Palo Alto,
California, where he would have a
corps of thirty assistants. 1t is eX'
pected that at Camp Fremont there
will be thirty thousand men under
arms. ..... ..
Should he accept the Central Union
call, which the church authorities fully
believe and hope he will, Rev. Mr..
! Palmer will not take charge until at
ter the close of his Camp Fremont en-
gagement, which will conclude about
the end of January, next.
Mr.. Palmer has had a varied expe-
rience in church, social, community and
settlement work. He was formerly as
sistant to Rev. DIR. j. II. Williams of
the Riverside Church, California. Mr..
| Williams, who is the father of Dr.
Robert Day Williams, principal of the
Mid Pacific Institute, Manoa Valley,
has been filing the Central Union
Church pulpit for some months past

Nipponese Press Asserts Plant
ers Get More Money But
Laborers Get No Increase
REARRANGED SYSTEM w. +
TO MEET HIGHER COST
Association For Higher Wages
win Endeavor To Bring ....'
About Change

Royal ID. Mead, director of the
bureau Of labor and statistics of the
Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association
was right in his figures but his argu.
ment did not cover the case, according
to the contention of that portion Of the
Japanese press which yesterday com
mented editorially on the statement
from that official. ..A r...a
This statement has apparently not
shaken the determination of the press
to push through the campaign for high
er wages which has been commenced
through the Association for Higher
Wages organized Monday night by the
leading business men Of the Japanese
community. ....
The chief fault picked in Mr.. Mead Is
argument is not in anything that he
said, but in what the Japanese press
alleges he left unsaid. The line of cam
paign which the japanese will take on
behalf of the laborers was rather clear
ly indicated in the editorials and they
will rely chiefly upon the argument
that the planters are getting more for
their sugar but that the laborers are
getting less for their money. rs-..'
In other words, the Nippu Jill argues,
the planters should help the 1aborers
meet the high cost of living by re-
arrangement of the bonus system and
higher wages. With the exception Of
the Hawaii Shinpo, all the Japanese pa.
pers argue more or less along the same
lines. The Shinpo has not yet com
mented on the letter editorially.
In none of the papers was much
space given to editorial comment.

ahead and think of the future.
Perhaps the little deed of kind
ness, the loving word, the sweet
smile, or the wrong act, idle
word or angry frown, may not
effect our lives nor lives of any
one else today. Let US not only
think of the present, but looking
into the hereafter, see what the
influence will be there.
1t is in more subtle, and so to
speak higher affairs than these
that the wisdom of looking a.
head asserts itself.
When Esau, coming in weary
and spent from the hunting field,
sold to crafty Jacob, for a mess
of pottage, the birthright, which
belonged to the elder brother, he
simply did what hosts of men
have been doing ever since. He
did not look ahead but acted on
the moments impulse. For
temporary pleasure, an apparent
present advantage, he bartered
his heaven bestowed right to
dignity, consideration and man
hood. And yet today, many of
us, to crafty ourselves for the
present, indulgein somepleasure
which perhaps may be our ruin,
It IS done without thought for
the future.
Il is fine thing to stand in
the midst of busy belts and
whirling pulleys, with the know
ledge of their governing laws in
your brain, and the quick con-
troll of them in your right hand;
but it is finer and grander to
stand where any mother may
stand, if she will, among the
living spirits which are to domi-'
late the wheels; bordering the
laws OF human agency, directing
the development of human act
iyity, bearing the supreme
weight of human responsibility;
doing it all in utter unconscious
Eess Of self or Of sacrifice, strong
In The wondrous love which alone
o. earthly emollients is all per-
suasive and all powerful against
the grind and wearandworry of
the world.
"A love of home and home life
should be planted in every girl
and boy, and there is no way SO
sure of giving this lesson than in
making the home attractive and
pleasant. Now, to make it at
tractiye is not for the mother
to do all the rough work and the
daughter to do the trimming,
but it is to have your boys and
girls share the cares, experience
and labors of the home. Tach
them every detail, give them a
personal interest. Lay a founda-

work, requiring patience through
oft multiplied failures.
r.
Parents, we would say to you
when God has blessed you with
good girls, appreciate them. To-
day is the time to do it while
they are lowered beneath your
wings. Do not wait till they
are gone, perhaps forever, from
the home nest. If you love
them, let them know it. If you
have an interest in their welfare
let them know it. If your girls
are ambitious and want to gain
for themselves a position in life,
help them, for it is your duty to
do so. If your girls want an
education, give them all the
chance that lies in your power
to acquire one.
