A Second Opportunity

n the last session of the legislature strong
4 \ effort was made to secure to the boys and
young men of Hawaii an opportunity to secure
the rudiments OF military training and education
The effort failed, apparently because the commu-
nifty did not at. that time realize how close the
necessity was upon us of having such training
nor did it comprehend how much it was in the
interests of the boys and young men themselves
hostilities that we do not even yet, realize what
may come to us at any time ,fsq -
1t is not the part of wisdom to wait until the
evil day is upon us. Nov is the accepted time
The Advertiser respectfully urges upon Speaker
Holstein and other members of the legislature who
at the last session advocated universal training in
the schools the advisability of reyiving the prop
Fosition, at least to the extent of providing for
preliminary training in the public schools, both
among the boys and the girls.
Let the boys have the advantage of having train
ing in marching, signalling and general coopera-
tive work and in first aid to the injured along the
general lines which are now being taught to the
Boy Scouts.
Let the girls have training in matters such as
first aid to the injured and along other lines which
will develop the spirit Of cooperation and discip-
line. asst al
This need not be done on an elaborate or ex-
pensive scale, neither need it take much time.
Elementary agriculture and cooking is now
being carried on in a large number OF the public
schools at almost no expense
The Advertiser urges that this other equally
important branch of development and training be
put into operation forthwith ..

Booze, the Murderer

n OOZE has lot to answer for in Hawaii, be-
ID cause booze has been responsible for many
OF the worst crimes in our history. Murders, sui
cdes, insanity, home-wrecking, restitution and a
hundred other like happenings are listed against
booze. And they still continue and will continue
SO long as booze is permitted to go its unbridled
way
In commenting on the recent murder case at
Maui, when John HUI Kali, charged with the
murder of Joseph Puhihae and his own ten-year-
old son. escaped on very minor verdict, the Maui
News says editorially:
There is only logical explanation of the verdict
in the HUI murder case and that is that the jury ex
onerated the and placed the burden of guilt on
Booze John HUI Kali killed Joseph Puhihale in
drunken row And he did it in exceptionally horrible
manner. After telling his victim with lamp, he
beat the unconscious man on the head with the butt
of rifle and then burned down the house. His own
lO-year old asleep in the house. was badly
burned that he died the following day None Of this
was denied mgated in the trial, but rendered
more dreadful II possible by the details brought out
And vet exceptionally intelligent Jury could find
a verdict only for assault and battery.
But HUI was drunk. His victim was drunk. The
witnesses had been drunk, All had been drunk for
several DAYS when the awful climax came and they
were drunk 75.eent gallon booze. 1t was shown
that HUI a good citizen when sober. He looks
| like good citizen His has been great
$50 great that he attempted to take his life in jail
and nearly succeeded. He has been punished terribly
-ufready. The law might have exaeted vengeance
through further punishment but it is doubtful If it
could have brought home keener realization of the
crime to the man, or have done anything to-
wards reforming him. ~" ".n .%sntFf Nf&l
What the jury really did convict Booze, for
without Booze the crime would never have been COM
mitted. But unfortunately the court pass
enee the real culpTt Nor does the law recognize
Booze as a copartner in crime, though fortunately
jures oftimes do as in this instance.

Absurdty Plus

T>HE situation which now exists on the Homo
i lulu waterfront, irrespective OF whether the
new orders regarding the German ships are in
accordance or not with a treaty with Germany,
covers the authority Of the United States with
hilarious humiliation. 81
Under conditions Of war with the most ruthless
and unlawful power which has arisen among the
nations in centuries, these ships whose crews are
subservient to. Berlin. masters, are thrown open
to the public with one exception. e..
American government officials are forbidden adj
mission to the vessel except after consultation
with the Spanish consul, who represents Germany
in Honolulu. ',ss.# :, ri g
Tom, Dick or Harry, or better, Hans, Fritz
and Carl, may go aboard unchallenged. The Of
ficials entrusted with the protection OF the peace
and the enforcement of the laws of the United
States and the Territory of Hawaii, laws which
the crews have broken and are willing under
orders to break again, are barred.
The Advertiser is in possession OF other in
formation which shows the situation to be more
abjecty ludicrous even then this '....
The reluctance of certain officials to place
responsibility for orders which have been issued,
lends color to the belief that petty spite has been
consulted as well as treaties. " -: 49,.
If Honolulu is to be subjected to the menace
of these vessels under such incredible conditions
let at least have the reasons therefor. Perhaps
when Herr La Toilette allows us to commence
our side OF the war, we will have an end put to
the insolence of these alien enemies in our midst
and will be able to return to ourselves our own
waterfront

-
rTNHE papers and magazines are filled with dis
cussiSns OF the proposed military training Of
BY some the project Is discussed under the title
Of "Conscription."
By others IL is characterized as Universal Mill
tary Training.
II is Submitted that the proper title is AN OPP
portunity to Get Free Education in Efficiency
and the Art Of Self-Defense.' a..
II is no hardship on boy to spend six months
or year in learning how to take care Of his
health; in learning habits Of orderliness; of co.
operation, Of quick perception, of obedience and
cf how to defend himself against, aggression.
1t is well recognized that athletic training
obtained at school is Of extreme value to boy,
not only white at school, but throughout after
life ~
Such training is, however, infinitely less effica-
cious in rounding out young man physically and
mentally, than the training and education which
he will get in year in military training camp.
Again so long as we are in world of men
who continue to settle disputes by war, we are
always liable to be drawn into war whether we
desire it or not. God knows that we do not desire
war with Germany; but war with that nation is
being forced uponus. 1t must come if we are to
continue to enjoy, the, Liberties which our fore
fathers won for us.
In this war It is our young men who will do
most of the fighting and it is unfair to them that
they be thrust to the front, to fight our battles
to the death, without being given fair chance
for their lives And they will not have that chance
unless they have a training at least equal to that
of their opponents. .&
1t would be sheer murder to put our unframed
young men up against the veterans of Europe,
even though their equipment were equal
1t is submitted that the sooner law is enacted
under which our young men can have chance
TO secure the necessary training and education to
enable them to properly care for themselves the
better.
It will not be a law for "censcriptionp II will
be law extending splendid opportunity to
all Of our young men. 1t will be a law giving the
son Of a poor imam the same chance to make
good that the son of a millionaire now has.

ST. LOUIS COLLEGE IS
BIGGER THAN THOUGHT
Local Institution Of Learning
Second Of Its Kind

Few people seem to realize it but,
nevertheless, It is fact that st. Louis
College holds a, place of honor in the
annals of the Society of Mary under
which order it is embraced. According
to some of the local Brothers the at
tendance at st. Louis College is sec
ondary in number only to the Morning
Star School in Toxic, Japan. This in
cludes all the schools of the order In
America, Europe, and throughout the
universe, ~ .lt
One reason given for the smaller num-
bers attending these schools is because
there are SO many institutions of the
Order of Mary in the States and Eu-
rope. The pupils attending st. Louis
College form a regular melting pot Of
nations but in the Morning Star School
of Japan only japanese are admitted.
Young people of foreign percentage
wishing to enter the Brothers, Schools
in japan usually go to Yokohama.
The Brothers have been In Hawaii
for some thirty years and even, do
spite this long residence, some people
are of the impression that they are
French when they are Americans.
