Dear Sir: In Wednesday evening
paper ! took notice of your offer of
open columns to the public to answer
the inquiry of What Carnival Fea-
ture Has Pleased You Most?" 49,. .
] think your offer a good one. and
as an American tourist here in this
beautiful land of Gods handiwork
(NatureD for the first time, will say
that enjoyed every feature very
much, but most of all the grand
parade of our military and navy boys
who left their mothers and homes for
their country's call Honolulu should
feel secure with so many of the SOL
der boys here. and every home should
give them the right hand of fellow
ship. Next feature, to my thinking,
was the Hawaiian Pageant with the
instructive historic features. The
lady riders especially admired.

HIS FAvoRITE CARNIVAL
FEATURE

Honolulu, T. H., March 1, 1917.
Editor, Honolulu Star.Bulletin,
Honolulu. ~ ~. f..
Sir: With regard to the inquiry ap-
pearing in the Star-Bulletin of the
18th ultimo under the caption Of
what Carnival Feature Has Pleased
You Most?" will say that the decora!
ton of the streets was a very pleasing
feature of the carnival period and one
which appealed to me as much as any
thing else and with a view to making
a suggestion rather than criticizing,
would like to see the Decoration Com
mittee in the 1918 carnival decorate
each pole along the main streets in
the town portion of the city more
specially along the line of the parade.
This can be done by taking about two
or three branches of cocoanut palms
and placing them around the base OF
the pole. 1t will not be large job
and / know there are lots of people
ready and only too glad to cut a
branch or two from each OF their
trees. ,stnrseh ~.
Hoping this will help some, remain
Yours very truly,

UNIVERSAL MILITARY SERVICE

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: The most important thing
about universal military service, to,
which the preparedness phase of it is.
secondary and OF Gar less value to
the people as WHOLE, is its leyeling
propensities. No man is any better
than the leaven of his achievement,
and there must be common standard
of measurement for ALL Such a thins
is OF vast importance in this day and
time, when the law so often fails to
lay itself the full length of the indi-
vidual. If the young man stepping
forth into the world Of achievement
does. not recognize the fact that he
is being measured every minute OF
his life he now, as rule, becomes
moral outlaw. There can be no doubt
that he should be dealt with according
to his propriety.
He is the freeman whom the truth
makes free,
And all are slaves besides"
Renegade sentiment is today play
ing havoc with everything.
II the United States of America
keeps out of the European war our
peers will have proved their worth
There is no menace to this country in
Europe. The menace is in its incep-
tion right here at home 1t is the be-
lief that license is freedom.
Time and space have been practi-
cally annihilated 500 per cent within
the past 100 years, and any code of
ethics or law that has not wholly re-
generated within that time is obsolete
There is no system of government
going to fit the demand save uni
versal concentration of law.
This must be done not only in spirit
but literally in deed and action. There
must be combination Of coercion
and rights, always as immediate as
conditions will permit With the lines
of demarcation concisely drawn.
The country should have universal
military service, and all should have
the right of suffrage commensurate
with service.

IT FROM CLEVELAND re LIS OF CARNIVAL PLEASURES

Third, came the beautiful Japanese
Lantern Parade which did each and
every one who participated great
credit / would like to suggest for
another year the evening of the I'D
to be called Illumination Night. Have
every citizen light up homes and
lawns with lanterns. The effect would
be beautiful
The magnificent paintings ! must
not pass by, as each one fascinated
me so with their marvellous work OF
shades and colors that it was hard to
get away from them The Hibiscus
show was simply grand in forms and
colors and did great credit to the
workers.

tory has been pointing out for good while. now
just how booze has encourages murders, suicides,
crimes against decency and other offenses In not
one ease have these facts been denied. In not one
ease has a defender risen up for the booze traffic
The cold hard, repelent facts have been impressed
and the further fact has been impressed that if
liquor is banished from Hawaii, We may rightfully
expect cleaner, more orderly, more law-abiding
population. s.. ....-..*.
Then. too story after story COMES from the main
land that with the "dry" regime has come better
business for the businessman. More money is going
into bread shoes hats, clothes, decent amusements
autos, pianos, and hOmes-and less into drinking
bouts treats ''souses,' joyrides, quarres, abuses
and saloons Merchants find purchases and coec-
tions better. Bankers find deposits growing. Real
estate men find more homes bought. The bartender
the pawnbroker and the loal-shark are about the
only people whose business drops off when city
state goes dry" II
We say then that prohibition sentiment in Ha
waii has grown strongly since seven years ago
plebiseite overwhelmingly defe Ited the "drys."
There is every reason TO believe that sentiment
is strong that another vote is justified. That vote
the senate bill aims TO bring about In the form in
which it has received the Endorsement OF the Anti
Saloon League il deserves the united support of all
prohibition advocates.

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING
In 1885 AND 1917

A striking Illustration OF the high
cost of living with respect to things
aNistis an compared with the days OF
WASHINGTON 10 afforded by a recent
newspaper item. 1t relates that a
statue by Houdoa, modelled in 1857,
has been purchased by an American
eoIIsstsr for s17s,eoe. Ia his life
dsae Heuden was rePsted to be the
greassst living sealptSr, and rs sssA
WAS shoseM FROM all the artists OF Ia
rore to modei the statue of Washing
tor ordered by the state Of Virginia.
KeudsR had family dependent upen
him for support and SO he insisted, as
q condition of his coming to AmsnsA
to perform the commission, that his
employers should insure his life
against the hazards Of the journey. As-
serdingly we have an exact statement
Of the estimate placed upon the life
sf Europe's greatest sculptor at this
time. The sum for which he was in
sured was $4,000. Today there are
seulptors ia New York who are repat-
cd to earn an annual income atty
times as great as the value to his
family of Houdon's life; while single
ersation of his is sold for over eighty
times that valas.

Best News in Many Moons

The best news | have heard in
many moons is that Baraboo has gone
dry. 1t has been very hard to under
stand why an intelligent and up-to-
date city such as Baraboo certainly
is, should be so dominated by brew
ers and saloons. 1t has been great
detriment to an otherwise beautiful,
well-kept city in looks alone. Those
who are daily familiar with the looks
of those dirty plague-spots tucked in
everywhere between clean business
places, do not realize how they strike
a stranger, or one who returns to a
home that has been theirs in other
years.
The moral aspect is quite another
matter Words are inadequate to ex-
press the shame and disgrace and
seeming Indifference in allowing such
places to exist to destroy the body
and soul Of men and boys.
Wisconsin has been slow to swing
into line in this great revolution
against liquor, but I hope now she
is started she will make up for lost
time. I rejoice more than | can say
over every victory Of the "drys.'

have been hiding under a bushel.

The first time I saw Devils Lake

instead of railroad cars or autos, as
oxen were more in vogue in those

But once you looked in Stumpys eyes,
why you forgot that part,
For it was just cover for his good

The judges said he was the best ALL
round dog at the show.
Gould that have been because they

And swim to meet me on the Styx, for
