out that anthrax last year of q more than ordin-

daily confronted with such questions
as What Is the league doing? When
are We going to get prohibition for
this territory? Why did not the com:
missioners continue the short hours
for closing? How can ! help the pro-
hibftion movement" answers them as
follows:
The league IL doing many things.
We are preparing for our sixteenth an
nual convention, to be held In Hawai-
Ghao church, June Is, where we shall
meet delegates from all parts Of the
islands, elect officers, hear annual re-
ports, and listen to addresses in Ha-
waiian and English.
We are writing letters to congress
men, asking for their support of q bill
for federal prohibition for this terri
tory. We are writing to Secretary Of
War Baker asking that q dry zone
be created around all military reser-
E2tions in this territory, as a matter
OF justice to the men in the service.
They are not allowed to use intoxicat
ing liquors or patronize the saloons,
neither should civilians be.
The power to make this dry area
rests in the hands Of the President,
and no doubt letters written to the
secretary Of war, who would pass 1t
on to the President, will have the de-
sired effect. Letters from others to
the secretary of war would show
that the community is back of this
move. The manner In which civilians
and cheap lodging houses have helped
the enlisted men to eVade the law
shows the need of a dry area around
all reservations. In fact, It il evident
since there are thousands Of soldiers
on the island Of Oahu, that this island
at least, If not the whole territory,
should GO dry.

I'VE could not help feeling eiated to hear that the

need for the empire to be more active in the war.
But our activity should be in keeping with the fol-
lowing conditions. First, there should be perfect
understanding with the Entente Powers. In other
words our activity should be heartily welcomed by
the other Entente Powers In the second place, eur

CHARITY At HOME

Sir: Apropos Of the hue and cry
OF Honolulu today to adopt and pro-
vide for the French children, ! would
cite a case where two children were
taken In by the probation officer for
begging Tor food on the streets Of Ho-
nolulu, our home of plenty, our Para
disc Of the Pacific. Can you con-

secrated by the sight OF children beg
ging for food? 81 ~ ssrEsEt $685..
II the ladies Of Honolulu would visit
the local public schools and see the
lack Of nourishment amongst our fu-
ture lawmakers, teachers, mothers
and fathers of our future generations,
methinks they would hesitate at hay
ing an afternoon Of music, speeches
and display to extract from the school
children their nickels and dimes 80
badly needed by our own poor.
Ladies of Honolulu, why not be pat.
ronesses for day to collect nickels
and dimes from the more fortunate
school children Of our paradise for the
cause which DR.. Patterson has so
nobly tried to further? BY his efforts
few, but a comparatively few, of
the most pooriy-nourished children Of
some Of the public schools are being
provided with q glass Of milk and a
cracker, and to them It Is more Of a

FINANCING THE FIRST YEAR OF WAR.


One prime reason for the necessity of saving and
elimination Of waste is the support of Uncle Sans
war finance Many people doubtless think that the
recent twobillion dollar subscription toward the
seven billion loan will see the United States at least
through the year. The fallacy of this assumption
lis pointed out in statement by the Wells Fargo
Nevada National Bank Of San Francisco, which is
advising its clients to the following effect:
while the war lasts the country win be called
upon to absorb Liberty Bonds, it, being now esti.
mated thai issues aggregating $s,OOa8OO,0OO to
SIC, 00O000 900 viii be required during the first
year. This amount must be raised mainly from the
saved income Of our people and herein lies the inn
portance Of enlistfng the interest Of wage
and others who as class have not hitherto been
accustomed to save from their incomes; any new
savings they may make will be that much added to
the wealth of the nation, besides the effect of en-
riching and broadening their own lives. And this
general principle has its application to the rest of
us, businessmen and others. As Secretary McAdoo
has recently said, When say economy, do not
mean lot Of hysterical sefdeniGi, the refusal to
satisfy the ordinary needs Of ourselves and our
families, the normal needs during this time Of war
We do not have to cut off our normal needs What
do need to DO is to prevent waste to stop extra
vagance, and to give up Injuries for the period Of
this war -.

street Democrats, led BY McCaDdless, w. A. Bryan,
Johnny Wilson ct al, are in the Forefront since
they have been waiting this opportunity for the bet
ter part OF four years The Interesting feature -
their effort to secure renforcements from the ranks
Of federal oceholders here, such ofceholders pre-
sumably having more ready access To the ear OF
authority in Washington than the localgrown
Democrats.
Al good many observers believe that sLink" Me-
.Candless will ultimately retire from the governor
ship contest and again run as delegate leaving Pro
lessor Bryan to head the anti Pinkham drive. Mo
CandIess thus would assure himself support for
delegate and swing large following behind Bryan.
There are furthermore, whispers that the Demo
Gratis expect to see John q. Wise becrme Bourbon
and manage Links campaign against Delegate ku-
hio Word has come from Hawaii that the Big
Island Republicans are rather badly split over the
recent county election and that the situation there
Is ripe for an anti Kuhio organization All Of this
will give McCandless hope that he can break the
INK OF continual defeat at the hands Of Kuhio and
carry the island Of Hawaii and the election Of Joe
Fern as mayor Of Honolulu has emboIdened the
Democrats to believe that they can carry this island
at the NEXT territorial election.

I have heard this explanation, which
is perhaps as good as any. This reg
ulation was made by the commission
ers at the request Of the saloonkeep-
ers, themselves, and was not forced
upon them By the license commission
ers. When the saloonkeepers found
they were to be deprived OF the prof.
its from the soldiers, they petitioned
the board to remove the regulation,
and it was done, perhaps on the
ground that with, the restrictions on
the soldiers it could be more safely
done

Peace Harb;nger
IL Discovered In
Court House Yard

A white sparrow, said to be one Of
the rarest birds Of America, was seen
fitting among the trees Of the court
house Thursday by p. w. Burke Of the
Times Republican composing room
force, who asserts that the strange
specimen of the bird family Is har-
binger Of peace. In proof of his as
sertion that the white sparrow Is a
peace bird, Mr.. Burke calls attention
to recent dispatch from New York.
in which the appearance of such a
member Of the feathered family re-
Gently had been in Central Park, and
that old-timers recall the appearance
of the pale bird just before the close
of two previous wars.
John w. Heath, of New York, is re-
sponsible for the statement that one Of
these birds was seen in Potsdam, Pa,
a fortnight before the civil war ended
and another white sparrow appeared in
