Enemies at Home

Every full bOoded American experiences deep
sense Of gratitude the man who said IT, when
reading the resolutions. introduced by Senator hing
Of Utah for the purpose OF making clear the war
policy of the country and also putting he enemies
of the country where they belong
1t is entirely proper that Congress should in dig
nfed language state that the purpose of the nation
in the present enterprise is to continue the night
till the kaiser and all that he represents in inhuman
tiles is decisivey licked
But the resolution of Monday is the particular
one in which the average citizen is interested. The
rage-stirring feature of the situation in our own
country is the license taken by the foreign tongued
and foreign hearted press and individuals to ham
per and if possible destroy the work of those carry
ing on the present great work of the nation. 1t is
high time that the traitors should be put out of
commission. The fact that they are not deliberate
" murdered as the kaiserites would do is accepted
by these alien and domestic enemies as an oppor
tunity to ply their reasonable business with
doubled energy. They abusing the kindly spirit
of the country at every turn.
1t is high time that loyal citizens were aroused
and alert to this copperheadism.
The doctrine that those not for us are against us
should be put into practise because it is sound and
failure to recognize the fact is lending powe" to
the enemy.
For the alien who minds the particular business
in which he is engaged and has the good judgment
to keep quiet there should be given every possible
consideration.
For the talkative propaganda, and the treason
able citizen there should be other consideration
than the prompt internment and close confinement
during the period of the war.

PLAIN CLOTHES
GUARD ONDUTY
ATSAILORB BALL

Plain clothes men from both the
city detective bureau and from the
Pearl Harbor naval forces were de-
tailed about the grounds of the Out
rigger Club last Wednesday night dur
ing the dance of the Torpedo Club to
prevent some miscreant from attempt
ing to dynamite the sailors and their
guests.
Information regarding this is just
beginning to become known. Partly
because some of the sailors are tell
ing. of the extreme precautions taken
and because of the admissions of two
well known young men of Honolulu
who were "rubber-necking at the
dance. They were grabbed and
searched while lettering in the
grounds. Both are now congratulate
ing themselves they do not have Teu-
tonic countenances or German names.
1t will be remembered that after a
recent dance of the Pearl Harbor navy
men at the Outrigger Club several
sticks of dynamite wrapped in charred
paper were found beneath the dance
floor. An investigation was made to
ascertain how the dynamite got there,
but nothing was learned. 1t was free
~ suspected at the time that some I'M
scrupulous agent of the German gov
eminent had placed the dynamite
there with the intention of exploding
it and destroying the sailors. The
suspicion was never successfully con
tradicted and so when plans were
made for another dance, other plans
were made to carefully guard the
dancers from danger.
A number of sailors dressed in civ
ilian clothes stayed in the yard dur
ing the evening, while detectives were
also specially detailed for duty there.
When the dance was nearly over
two Honolulu young men attracted by
curiosity strolled over towards the
pavilion, but never reached there for
they were caught by some of the
guards and given a careful search
much to their annoyance. After their
names were taken they we're allowed
to leave the grounds, as no explosives
were found in their possession.
But it would have gone hard with
anyone found with dynamite at the
dance. He would have been torn
to pieces" declares one Of the sailors
who formed the guard.
Complaint is made by the sailors
that civilians of the society class do
not pay due respect to the fact that
the navy dances are all invitational
and that no one is admitted who
hasn't a card "Just because they had
on evening clothes and were in the
company of some ladies a number OF
Honolulans tried to horn in to the
last dance" the sailor critics declare.
Needless to say, none Of them gained
admission.
But this attitude Of disrespect is
highly annoying to the sailors, who
point out that under no circumstances
would they think of trying to gain ad-
mission to any private affair without
invitation.

CAR Company
TAKEN TO TASK
IN HOT LETTER

The crowded condition of Honolulu's
street cars during the morning and
evening hours when workmen are
going to and from their jobs has
formed the basis of complaint from
one of these who signs himself only
Workingman," and who has droned
his weird tale in long letter to the
governor, which letter has been for
warded to the public utilities COM
mission for consideration.
You may think me a coward for
not signing my real name" says the
writer, who denies that he is one, haV'
ing already served Uncle Sam upon
the field of battle without running.
He withholds his real identity lest he
be "shanghaied" out of Hawaii, and
Hawaii evidently looks good despite
the street car service.
Il wish to call your attention to an
every Gay common nuisance, as l see
it," says the author of the letter ad-
dressed to Honorable Governor Pink
ham"
1T perhaps doesn't occur to you
that the majority of working people
in this city must depend on the street
cars in going to and from their work,
and that they pay their honest nickels
about every day for not hang on
the strap but worse hand on the side
of the cars mornings and evenings.
! 81. who write this would have no
kick coming if this happened only once
| in a while, but say as mucn as you like
we are not getting square deal, ana
it seems a pity that the people will
stand for such an outrage, also that
none of those real nice people try
to better our conditions. This rapid
or rather slow Transit Co. Is running
| on the public be dam system. Their
safety first fiZZle is a farce, let any
jitney company start in and the peo-
pie hang on the side I'll wager that
they wouldn't be long doing it before
the strong arm OF the law was after
| them"
The writer suggests that there may
even now be some law to compel the
street cars to keep passengers inside.
Then he asks the governor to imagine
himself in the place of a common
| workingman.
Little we care about franchise"
SAYS he, its service we want and this
one big corporation should be brought
to time for the benefit of the people. y"
The author then submits a number
of so-called facts" Among these are
the claim that Honolulu has grown
considerably in the last 10 years, and
we still have II minutes schedule and
one car; also that cars often register
100 nickels by the time they reach
Fort street in the mornings on the
King street line both ways. Bere-
tania is crowded, no seats to be had
More and more soldiers coming
which means still worse service for
us all.
q give the company credit for the
good cars and car line" he declares,
but l surely feel like giving them
hell for their known rotten service"
Mr.. Workingman asks why the
street car company cannot put on
trailers during the rush hours, bellev-

JUSTICE TO MR.. MURPHY.

Mr.. Eugene Murphy has called to our attention
the fact that have failed to give proper publicity
to the supreme courts decision in the case which
he brought against The Maui News, alleging dam
age for the printing of libeous article contained
therein, which article was thereafter in substance
reprinted in this paper Under date of May 1917,
this paper printed brief statement relative to the
decision of the circuit court which showed on the
face thereof that Mr.. Murphy had recovered judg:
ment in his favor for the sum of $1,000 against The
Maui News.
We are satisfied from the evidence adduced in
the case that the statements contained in the art
Gle printed by us in so far as they reflected upon
the professional conduct of Mr.. Murphy are con-
cerned are incorrect, and that Mr.. Murphy has not
been guilty of any breach of professional ethics as
therein alleged. ~ ~.
We regret the publication of the article and take
this opportunity of doing justicein the premises.
