Ii is significant thai three organizations. all en-.

PARTNERSHIP WITH vIcEg

What American city is travelling in the direction
of recognizing and legalizng vice through the estab
lishment and supervision of a "redlght district"
The question is asked directly of those legislators
reported favoring this course for Honolulu.
Is there one city now moving along this line?
Name it.
Does Honolulu choose to enter deliberately and
formally into partnership with shameful vice, with
a horrible Traffic?
Is there any legislator who seriously proposes to
bind the capital city to bargain with prostitutes
and panders?

Tt is too bad the plans for a city golf links have
been dropped. Interest in the royal and ancient
game is growing here with remarkable .rapidity
and golf is sport ideally suited to Hawais climate
and the needs of busy men and women for outdoor
recreation. The Country Club links. even though
the clubs doors are unusually wide bpen for mem
bership are already taxed by regulars and the very
large number of tourists who come here, and the
course at Moanalua is beyond the reach of the ma
jority of people of moderate means because of its
distance from the residence sections of the city.
Some day Honolulu will establish an 18-hole MUM

now. There are too many greater needs for the
