Patriotism

M ILLIONS Of Americans, Young and
~ old alike, are aflame with the emo
tons Of patriotism We hunger for the
opportunity to serve our country. We arc
sgners Of Il new Declaration a promise
to do ''our Bit" and die if need be, for our
glorious land
Let us not forget that
while big opportunities ror deeds OF courage
to- others of us will fall the greater though less
picturesque distinction Of civic personal
sacrifice.
But whether our lot is cast in the lime
light of public activity, or in the shadow
OF the factory, the shop, the office or the
nome, there comes to each of us the privi-
lege, and the DUTY, of industrial pa
triotism,
Some of these duties are briefly set
forth in the following lines. Let us promise
ourselves
that will 10 everything in our power 10
keep tho wheels of all branches OF American In
that that we, we viii continue {" purchase all tho
fcicn for our immediate requirements
that i" no matter how small VIC will
American genius and skin. demand American
products and -maIc
goods, with true American pride and patriotism.
There's much food for thought" here
for the American who is truly patriotic
industrially as well as politically-and
wishes to live up to his convictions
Not that we should discard the import
ed articles or fail to appreciate the art
and enterprise of the old world, but because
it is high time that our efforts and results
in the making of commodities, necessities
and luxuries should be recognized and used
as such. And this duty becomes all the
more important at this hour, when indus
trial activity throughout America is so
imperative.
We should come to know and to realize
that the splendid articles of home manu-
facturc that we have are not recent nno-
vations, sprung into being by mushroom
growth, but are Of established exceencv,
though needing, through faults of trade
and our own indifference, the crisis of war
to rouse in our hearts an emotion of indus
trial patriotism.

Business First

While the program for the entertainment Of the
congressional party next month is being put into
shape, don't forget that the congressman are sup
posed to be coming important investigation
not joyful junket.
The party has been made up with the Idle of get
ting as many members of the public lands, rivers
and harbox naval and military committees of each
house as can he secured. They are expected to de-
ttrmine Hawas needs for land law changes new
harbof development and army and navy approprla
lions. ... ....
The subject of land law amendments alone Is
large and intricate. An important bill on this sub
ject was presented during the session of Congress
which has just closed. The interior department is
turning special attention now to the Hawaii public
land situation. Great leases of cane lands are eX,
pring and some settlement of their future DISPOSE
ton must be determined. H..
Al good many people are inclined to look askance
nj the spending of large sum of public money 10
Entertain the congressman, and inclined to ask Just
what are the objects sought by those in Hawaii who
have been most active in promoting the tour. The
auickest way to answer these indirect questions is
10 lay ont program which will give the visitors
time and facilities really to dig into the main prob
lens on which Congress will be asked TO legislate.
That the congressional visit of 1915 was well
worth while has been generally recognized Even
though the congressman then touring the Isianus
had little time except to attend public entertain
ments and official functions, the fact was impressed
on them that Hawaii is a progressive section of the
United States and that when men and interests of
Hawai asked something Of Congress, our claims
conld stand investigation and investigation would
be courted Every senator and representative left
the islands with friendly feeling toward his fellow
citizens here.
1t has been emphasized in Washington that the
1917 tour is for business first and pleasure after
wards In fact several congressman consented TO
come only on4tne undesA Handing that they would
be Afforded ample time "a look into local conditions.
Ii is important that the business before the house
be kept steadily in mind.

Our morning contemporary suggests that every

are tincans full of water and wriggers, or blocked

the falacy of expecting all propertyowners to keep
