MAUI STEWARD
PEEVED; REASON
SCHOOL TEACHERS
There Were 126. of EN- Aboard
and Porters Got 126 Tips
of SO Cents Each

Exactly 126 school teachers and
"a passengers on this trip" shouted
the deck steward OF the Maui when
Queried this morning. "Porters re-
ceived exactly 126 50-cent tips"
The steward was peeyed because
the deck sports on the way down
were AN absolute failure" he said.
The swimmers arranged all Of the
sports, but the rest of the passen-
gers would not take part on account
of the school marms. They wouldn't
mix and the whole business was fig
zled.
Interesting? Why we had all kinds
Of interest on this ship, compound.
complex, and other kinds. School
teachers galore, and a small bunch
of passengers
And the steward turned aside to
see another 50-cent tip slip into the
hand Of one of the walters. d..

matters that did not meet the stand
ard set by the President who sane
toned only those matters that would
affect the conduct Of the war.
What Hawaii Got
Hawaii has many matters pending
before congress that were tabooed by
the leaders and, therefore, must go
over to the next session. We fareo
well. however, IN the army, the river
and harbor appropriation. and the sun
dry civil that went through as wax
measures. In the army bill there was
an appropriation of 100000 for hos
pital at Schofield. In the SundrJ
Civil measure there was an approp ria
ton of $4,000 for seacoast defense,
one of $4,000 for aids to navigation at
Pearl Harbor, and another Of 100000
for Kahului harbor. The River and
Harbors act authorizes the much
needed Kalihi channel in Honolulu
harbor. An appropriation OF $4,000
was made to inaugurate this work.
and there was also made available for
the same purpose $4,000; and unex
pended balance of a previous appro
priation for work in Honolulu harbor.
There was another provision, one Of
$3.50, 900 for continuing work at lilo
harbor.
The Inauguration of the Kalihi
channel project leaves us with only
one important project not authorized
by congress, and that is a harbor for
Kauai at Nawiliwih. This matter is
pending before the rivers and harbors
committee of the house, and trust il
will be our good fortune to have fav-
orable action in the river and harboI
act of the next session. 1t is an i'm
portant project and in fairness to
Kauai and to the territory, congress
should act favorably upon it.
"A goodly share of the territories
business goes before the house com
mittee on territories. This committee
has undertaken no business this SEES
sion. Chairman Houston had returned
to Tennessee, and was unable to see
him before leaving. Earlier in the

itol, 1t seems to NE that there Is
lack Of realization OF the extreme
seriousness Of the situation. Then,
too, many men in congress fail to
recognize the truth OF the situation.
a THE reputation of being a pessi'
hist to my mind is not an enviable
9he, but must be frank and state
my belief that we Of the United States
are the central figures in this war to
save the civilization Of the entire
world to democracy. We people Of
the United States voluntarily took
upon ourselves the greatest burden in
the worlds history when We said to
the hard-pressed Allies-France. Bel
GUM, Russia and England, and others,
that we would feed them. that We
would fight for them, and that We
would save them.
The magnitude of this contract 10
appalling. II will take years, it will
decimate our men, and II will destroy
untold wealth. which means priyation
and hardships for our people. The
price will be worth while for no
peace will come until complete and
full victory is ours.
Three Years Of War
Personally, l feel that so far as
the United States is concerned, we
are entering upon, at least. a three
years war and before It is pau we
VIII have had to call to the colors
not fewer than 5000. 900 men and put
into the battlefields of Europe at
least, 3,000,00 American soldiers.
The American people must awaken to
q realization that the war will de-
mand every sacrifice and we cannot
start to school ourselves too Quickly
IN order to meet changed conditions
Of living that out Of necessity will
come to all Of us.
The session OF congress coming to
a3close has dealt strictly with war
measures. II has declared war; # haE
created the machinery and the money
for an army; and has given the Presi-
dent Of the United States, who under
our form Of government Is responsible
for the successful prosecution OF this
war, undreamed authority and superyi.

money running into the billions.

THINKS PINKHAM
Will BE NAMED

As John Effiginger did not go east
of California, he has no first hand in
formation from Washington as to
whether Governor L. E. Pinkham will
be named to succeed himself or not,
although he has heard that the gov
ernor was considered as having a
good chance of being reappointed.
Mr.. Effinger returned this morning
from a months trip to the mainland.
The only time have heard the gov
ernorship discussed was aboard the
Maui on the voyage from San Fran
cisco. l was told that it was likely
that Governor Pinkham would be re-
appointed" he said.

voice.

And still the horses blinked, Michael
