LABOR CONTRIBUTES
TO THE COMMON GOOD
BY the Rev. Charles Stelzle.

What should be our relationship TO
the other fellow?
This is the sum and substance of
the social question. There was
time when some men-the so-called
privileged classes-believed that the
rest of the world was created for
their special benefit. All others
were made simply to serve them, to
make life soft and easy.
But even most of these have seen
a great light. They discovered that
the "clods" were capable of better
things, so they began to "help" them
on to the higher things of life.
Amazing was the degree to which
"the man with the hoe" could at
tain, when he was given half a
chance. That he could hold his own
with the best of those who formerly
regarded themselves as of superior
clay, of "bluer" blood, of finer grain,
was discovery which came as a
great surprise.
Be it said to the credit of most Of
the "helpers" they welcomed the
revelation that the common people
were made of the same material that
they were-that their ideals of life,
their heart-hungers. their sorrows
and their griefs. their loves and their
joys, were very much like their own.
All the more willing were they to
give their lives in service in behalf
Of their more unfortunately situated
neighbors.
But now we're ready for another
step in advance. 1t was a fine
thing TO help the man who was so
ready TO help himself. or even the
chap who didn't, Il was q Christ
like thing TO bear the burdens Of
those who were heavy laden. There
will always be such in the world.
Misfortune and accident. the lack Of
opportunity on account Of physical
disability or illness, and q good
many other things. will always leave
IT our midst those who should be
given 8 helping hand.
However. the normal man, be he
rich or poor. educated through books
or through experience, be he black or
white. yellow or red. no matter what
his circumstances-so long as he's
man who is doing a mans job in the
world. is "helping" the other fellow
in a way which Is rarely appreciated.
The poorest man in the world, who
is doing his best, is rendering q
real service to the richest man in
the world. He is making a con-
tribution to the worlds work which
more wages do not repay.
Even the despised immigrant who
doesn't understand word Of English,
but who is contributing his share to
the common good by shovelling dirt
in a construction camp, is making
debtor Of the man who will later
ride over that railroad track in his
comfortable Pullman, made smooth
running because that Italian made a
good job Of his shovelling. But
everywhere in human life, in the
lowliest places. in shop and fac
tory. on the street and on the road,
everywhere - men and women and
even little children are bringing their
contribution to the great treasure
house to which We all come and free
" draw-some more, some less; but
he who draws most, becoming the
greatest debtor to all mankind.
Therefore, let's talk less about
"helping." about Service" and let's
think more about "exchange"-for
that's what it is-the exchange OF
the service that each renders for the
other.

NEW JAPANESE
SOCIETY FINDS
LABOR OPPOSING

At a meeting OF prominent japanese
Wednesday at I.aniaxea garden, il vas
decided that a new organization called
The Central ia. anese Association OF
I'-waii' ne formed The new asso-
citation will have az its members FROM
ilent japanese OF Hawaii, according
TO those who were present. And II
vas on this account that the labor
elements objected 10 strenuously.
The meeting VAS attended by Con
sulGeneTal r. NO-ol and representa-
tiyeS OF the japanese Chamber OF
Commerce, Japanese Medical Society,
Japanese Educators Association, Jap
anese Bankers hui, JapaneSe News
paper Association and Oahu Japanese
American Citizenship Association. Be-
sides these, prominent Japanese who
are not members Of any OF these as
sOciatiOns were resent.
IN order TO keep everything Of i'm
portanCe from the public, il was I'M
animOcsly decided that nothing will
be given out for publication unless by
resolution. In this way, said one OF
the members this morning, express
sions OF the members. if any. during
the meeting will not be reported TO
the newspapers for publication.
The purpose of this new association
Is TO discuss such problems and ques.
lions OF importance which will involve
the interests and welfare of the Jap
anese residents in Hawaii.
The Hawaii Hochi. owned by Fred
X. Maxine, takes the stand that the
organization OF this association by
prominent Japanese is rather discrim-
inatory to the labor elements. One Of
the members Of the new organization
Is X. lshida, who is secretary of the
Japanese Association of Hawaii.
The fact that Eshida has Joined the
new association is not pleasing to
members of the old association. of
which he is secretary. Already there
is plan on foot to have Ishida OK.
PEELED from the Japanese Association
OF Hawaii. The matter will be taken
up at a special meeting to be held
shortly.

STOCK MARKET
IS Affected BY
Liberty LOAN

The Liberty Loan. calling for It's
subscribers from every walk OF life.
IS being felt a bit by the local stock
market, according 10 Mr.. Charles q.
Heiser. treasurer OF Trent Trust Com
pany. MIR. Reiser considers this
good thing for investors, Too much
money, he says. has been put into
purely speculative propositions.
Clarence II. Cook, president Of the
Bank OF Hawaii, Ltd, speaking OF
mainland conditions. said:
Financial reports show consider
able depression in railway stocks,
rails being five points lower than the
lowest level reached in the panic o.
1907, and lower than they reached at
any time in 1914. Industrial securi-
ties are about half way between the
highest point reached in 1915 and the
lowest point reached in 1914. High
class securities have suffered out OF
all proportion % what those hearing
high rates of interest have suffered,
because they must, OF course, come IN
direct competition with the Liberty
Bonds.
July exports are said to have been
the lowest since 1916, and imports
have declined about $S0.000,O0o, when
the prices are the highest ever known.
This of course is partly accounted Tor
by the embargo on the trade with neu-
trails. Rates of interest have increased
on the mainland since the second Lib
erty Loan, calling for its three billions
OF dollars at four per cent interest has
made such a splendid start, more than
half of the amount required having
been subscribed. This has affected
high class securities, such as railway
stocks and bonds. out Of all proportion
TO the effect it has had upon securI.
ties bearing higher rate of interest.
None of these things can really
affect financial conditions here. The
embargo on imports and exports won't
touch US, because we, with our one
commodity, are not governed by world
conditions. Money is not tight i'll

/ Steamship officials maintain that IN

provisions of the war tax law, this
company will charge and collect on
I behalf of the United States three per
cent OF all the sim charged for

sum charged for passenger carriage"
The officials contend that their

the expense and trouble of collecting

Additional clerical help will have to
be employed and a separate account
maintained for all the taxes collected.

A Romance in Camp BuiIding

The building of permanent army
camp at Fort Sheridan, ILL.,, for the
training of $500 officers, reads like
a romance, as described in the current
issue of Popular Mechanics. Eighty
five separate one-story buildings
were erected, consisting of barracks,
mess halls, bath houses with concrete
floors, and a telephone exchange
building. Construction, plumbing,
and wiring were all completed in ten
days.
Plans were received from Washing
ton on May, 26, Saturday, which were
revised to suit local conditions by
Monday, the contract signed on SUM-
dav and dated a day ahead. Monday
it rained, so that the work really be-
gan on Tuesday, when the necessary
deliveries were made and the men
put at work, twenty-five miles dis
tant from Chicago. Work was
pushed at fever heat, workmen and
military officers alike entering into
the spirit of the game; the structures
sprang up "ike pen and ink pictures
in a movie cartoon" water mains,
sewer conduits, telephone cables, and
electric light wires were installed,
bitches and drains being cut by
steam and gasolene trench 'diggers,
and three days after the buildings
were finished, all plumbing was COM
pleted, and fire hydrants were in
place.
1t makes one feel in hurry merely
to read about the swarming activities
of the scene. 1t all goes to show
what Americans can do when they
begin to hustle.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1917-06-19

end there. The high cost of living
forces rigid economy on the part Of
the majority of the people. The
habit will be voluntarily assumed by
all who feel that they can thus take
a part in war service thereby.
Saving the food supplies alone will
not cut down the worlds demand
greatly. 1t will only turn supplies
into more needed channels. Ordi-
narily the sudden development of
economy along other lines is the re-
suit of hard times and goes to the
accentuation of hard times conditions
by cutting of demand and throwing
more producers into the ranks of the
unemployed. But a gradual change
from habits of economy to habits Of
thrift can work no such disaster now.
1t will cause many readjustments,
but war demands are themselves so
pressing, the call for workers so in
sistent, and the wages paid so fair
that 1t should mean only change OF
occupation for such of the workers as
find the demand for their own output
growing less.
1t will not be misfortune, there
fore, to lessen the production of lux
uries and to increase the output Of
the necessities of life. The great
patriotic army of the United States
will henceforth be made up of three
divisions: Those who fight, includ-
ing all who direct the armed forces
Of the country toward final victory;
those who produce for the fighters
and workers in America and in the
countries of our allies; and those who
save that fighters and producers may
be working to the best advantage.
The womanhood Of the country will
form the rank and file of this third |
great army, and their service is as
important as that of the rest.

Rheims, the Pantheon

It is announced that the French
government has determined upon
making in the ruins of Rheims
Cathedral Pantheon for the dead of
all the allies. The idea will COM
mend itself to every allied soldier
and sympathizer on both sides of the
world, as Of deepest understanding
and of complete precision in that
matter of enlightened Judgment
which we call "taste."
To such a shrine the world will
continue to go reverently, observing
what ruin men inspired with the
fury of beasts have made of a great
monument of religion, upon which
the flowers of mans most beautiful
art had been heaped. Under those
broken arches, between those shat
tered walls, whose wondrous windows
were shot out like mems eyes by the
German invader Of consecrated
ground-will hang the battle flags
of the allied powers which united
to fight with St. George and St.
Denis and the Maid, to keep the
world safe for freedom and for free
peoples.
In ruined Rheims the allied ma
tons will have this most fitting
Pantheon.

Senatorial Progress

The House debated yesterday the
food control bill in an illuminating
discussion which, especially in the
speeches of Chairman Lever of the
Committee on Agriculture, and Con-
gresham Anderson, threw good
deal of light upon the questions at
issue. The Senate debated the cues
ton whether the same bill should be
taken up for consideration in the
Senate, under the constitutional pro-
vision that revenue bills should origi-
nate in the House. Every Senator
knew that substituting the House
bill for the Senate bill will settle the
constitutional difficulty.
Practically, therefore, there was a
filibuster against the bill in the Sen
ate, conducted mainly by Hardwick
of Georgia, who long ago decided
that his only hope of distinction was
to be found in the position of a
chronic objector. Besides, Hardwick
couldn't get his man appointed Fed
eral judge and therefore the interests
of the nation must be sacrificed to
his spleen against the President. The
irony of the situation becomes COM
plete when it is recalled that Hard
wick was nominated Senator over his
opponents on the platform of stand
ing by the President.
The trouble is that the speeches
made on the motion to consider the
bill can all be made over again on
the question of passing the same bill.
If there ever was a time to invoke
the rule of the Senate putting it in
the power of a two-thirds majority
to fix time for a vote. this seems to
be the occasion. If two-thirds of the
Senate are not in favor of the United
States, at this crisis, it is time the
country knew the situation. If they
are not, the food control bill will
probably pass after the crops are all
gathered and the food spectators
have made their ill-gotten fortunes
at the expense of farmers and con-
sumers alike.
