Ho1o Should We Make

will be officially as we are now practically, at war

The papers are filled with discussion as toAvhat

all the way from those which advocate that the
United States should Content itself with putting
out guard ships and submarine chasers to clear
lanes OF travel and protect American shipping from
German submarines; to those who advocate equip
ping and sending armies to Europe.
Colonel Rooseveit's position is that "it would

IF we prepare our strength to the very utmost
at the very outset and subordinate everything

our safety and we shall UNNECESSARILY shorten the

The foregoing sentences certainly sound the
note Of common sense
The key to success in athletics business or war,
is to proceed with the utmost possible speed,
energy and decision consistent with adequate
preparation Et#,,.. "t.,. "n5a
As a matter of fact, the United States can sue
cessfully hide behind the British navy and the
Entente army and limit her activities to half
hearted defensive war; but in SO doing she will
earn the contempt of the world well as of a
vast number of her own citizens, and weaken the
moral fiber Of the nation; while at the same time
the war will drag on to indefinite length.
The best possible thing that can happen to all
parties concerned, including Germany, is to bring
the war to close as soon as men, munitions and
money will do it and this can be accomplished
in no way SO effectively as by the United States
proceeding to get into the fight as quickly and
fully as it would if England and France were not
intervening as shield. #s'
Whether we send an army to Europe or not,
we should proceed immediately to place ourselves
in such state that we can meet any and every
condition that may arise, without having to de-
pend upon any other nation. AZ

Fighting Men Needed

CECRETARY DANIELS has appealed to the
~ country for men for the first fighting line Of
the United States, the navy, and The Advertiser
believes that the appeal win be answered in way
that will show to the people Of this and other
tries, who have been sneering at Americans as
"materialists," and at America as country which
placed above honor the dollar and above fame its
slothful ease, that they misread us. '"'
Recently mainland dispatches announced that
the enlistment in the navy had reached to Sc, $40
men. Now the United States, face to face with
war with the most bood-thirsty and ruthless foes
she has ever had to face in the one hundred and
forty-eight years of her history as nation calls
for more men, Her ships, the ships we have boast
ed Of for so long, and have been 50 proud of, are
hampered by lack of men to operate them. .t
But that is state of affairs that will not con-
tinue for long. The Advertiser believes that there
are enough men left in this country both able and
willing to all the ships that the navy depart
ment can place in commission for the first vigorous
strokes against the German pirates.
Hawaii has been part Of the Union for less than
twenty years, but they have been fat prosperous
years. We are grateful and now is the time to
show it. America needs all that we can do in this
crisis and we need to show that we have not been
softened past all semblance to the only manhood
worth while--the that fights for its ideals
and its own land. 'H
And there can be no doubt that the United States
will have to fight in this war with Germany. Just
what steps the authorities in Washington will take
remain for them to decide. What we must do to-
gether with the rest Of the land, is to back them
up to the last and the last dollar and The Ad-
vertiser believes that this is just what Hawaii is
prepared to do now. ~. r.
The local naval and military authorities have but
to say the word, show us what they want done and
the people of this Territory stand ready to do it.
To the people of the Islands The Advertiser sug-
gests that possibly the best way of meeting the
call issued by Secretary Daniels is to enlist in the
naval militia and get what training possible before
they are called upon for active service In these
days is hardly necessary to point out the need OF
trained men in the naval branch of the service,
nor the Importance of devoting as much time as
possible to that training The naval militia here
has shown itself to be capable but for some reason
it has not grown as fast as its friends would like
to see. There is no reason however, why it should
not begin now and grow to its full strength imme-
diately. Enlist in the naval militia Immediately for
as Captain Clark, commandant of the naval station
at Pearl Harbor says in an interview in this morn
ings paper "the navy is going to need every last
man it can get when the fighting starts" %

"A Spotted Conscience

TTtHEehouse OF representatives handed one to
- "Our Governor" in the solar plexus the other
day, by passing resolution to the effect that he
was not to be trusted with the expenditure of a
contingent fund, more particularly because he had
squandered $l1 900 on lawyers to bring spite
suit against the Rapid Transit Company in which
suit both circuit and supreme courts decided that
he was wrong in every claim that he made.
After spending several days in trying to think
of something to say, he yesterday sent letter to
the senate finance committee in which, after quot
ing some false statistics he stated that by reason
Of the improper high financing" of the Rapid
Transit Company, his financial conscience" would
not permit him to rest until he had spent the Sill
600 in question. INK
Evidently the Governors conscience is one OF
the 'nowyou see it and now you don't" Variety
Spotted conscience" to speak for the stock issue
that so upset his digestion that the only remedy
was to pour 81 600 of other peoples money down
rat hole, was transaction explicitly authorized
by the company's franchise; approved by the then
Governor Frear; approved by the legal committees
of the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce and the
Honolulu Merchants Association; approved by a
unanimous vote Of the legislature; since approved
by the Hawaiian Public Utilities Commission ap-
pointed by the present Governor, and by the Homo
lulu board of supervisors and also approved by
Governor PiRkham himself, who appeared before
a committee Of congress and stated that he was
familiar with the subject; had studied the pending
bill, and that he thought il was all right!
In the face of all this he now officially stig-
matizes all OF these organizations and persons, in
GLIDING himself, partners in crime with graft
ing corporation. ~a.4 ~ @tE%
What confidence can any one have in the sense
judgement or discretion of a man who can be
guilty OF such double dealing and who so reckless
~ makes false charges against honest men?
The trouble with the Governor is that his whole
heart, soul, mind and memory is so wrapped up
in his ennties Of past generation that he has nc
room left to think Of the grave problems now fac
ing the people of this Territory.

Wallace r. harrington, in a statement in the

spot where the chamber of commerce, and the
business men generally, fall down abjectly when
they attempt to enter politics. They have oper-
ated with paid go-betweensq who are thoroughly
unreliable says Mr.. Harrington referring to the
failure of the business men to make their position
clear to the Hawaiian voters, and in this they are
doing now just what they have always done, TO
the disgust of those who have been honestly en-
deavoring to bring before the rank and file of the
voters the truth on many questions. The business
men in politics have been the dupes of their own
