cosIMERCIALIZED VICE AND PUBLIC
VIGILANCE.
(From the OUTLOOK

From the OUTLOOK
Ii is significant that three organizations. all
gagged in combating commercialized vice in New
York City. almost simultaneously have reported a
noteworthy decrease in the extent of one form of
such vice-that is the exploiting Of women. These
three organizations are the committee of fourteen,
the society for the prevention of crime and the bu
reau of social hygiene
1t seems evident that the investigation of the so
called sviee ring which followed the exposures
brought by the murder Of the gambler, Herman
Ilosenthal. by Police Lieutenant Becker and four
gunmen was the beginning of campaign which has
steadily decreased the power of the promoters Of
conmercialized prostitution Says the report of the
bureau of social hygiene 'yice still exists but it's
amount has been greatly reduced, and the damage
caused has been immensely lessened. In 1912 pro-
stitution open, organized, aggressive and pro
sperous in 1916 it is furtve disorganized, precar
ous unsuccessful. This improvement is shown in the
statistics E. but as matter of fact the zeal I'M
provement is fir greater than the statistics show,
The report of the committee of fourteen contains
several striking findings For instance it is said
Most amazing perhaps the outside world has been
the cooperation of those engaged in the liquor trade
aHd particularly of the brewers, in the effort
to improve conditions in salooLs and hotels" In
the second place. the committee feels that it has ex
ploded the theory that the great department stores
of the city are sbreeding grounds for prostitution,
and reports that it has had great assistance from
some of the department stores in investigating this
matter. Another improvement is the reorganization
of the courts and the increased cooperation of the
courts with another, with the police, and with
the disstrict attorneys in handling prostitution.
The committee has also found the New York City
police to be increasingly helpful but regrets that it
cannot say the thing Of the state excise depart
ments 80
All three Of these organizations whose reports We,
have quoted from emphasizing the Importance of nm
renlitting vigilance the part Of the public They
attribute much Of theirs success in the elimination Of

attached citizen, alive to the peril that
faces this community If the machine
made charter carries?
If this city is to be saved from an
irreparable disaster II will take some
thing more tangible than street cor
ner conferences; something more ef-
fective than mutterings. 1t will take
vigorous and immediate action on the
part Of this city's citizenry. Let every
voter of this city, who has the best
interests of Honolulu at heart, and
not led by the nose, take up this
charter issue as his own personal
fisht let there be an expression OF
public opinion so emphatic and clear
cut that the schemes of any foe to
progress must be effectively exposed
and thwarted.
Everx citizen, every locality, is or
sho1ld be vitality interested in hasten
ing The day when Honolulu shall be
provided with charter adequate to
city that is alive and dares to pro-
gress.
Come to the fore with your argu-
ment on the proper vehicle for the
growth and expansion of your city.

main-spring of civic pride and the
open sesame" of growth and pros
perity. The time to act is NOW.

Of all concerned:
The observance Of these customs Is

PARTNERSHIP WITH vIcEy

What American city is travelling in the direction
of recognizing and legalizng vice through the estab
lishment and supervision of sredlight 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
u horrible traffic?
ls there any legislator who seriously proposes to
bind the capital city to bargain with prostitutes
and pandcrs?

1t is too bad the plans for city golf links have
been dropped. Interest in the sroyal 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 open 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 muni-
cpal course but this out of the question for the city
now. There are too many greater needs for the
money.

no matter what the investigating committee reports

BANzAI 10 THE AMERICANS.

From the Independent Review tJaps nese)
The Honolulu Americans are to be congratulated
for their remarkable achievements in carrying out
he 1917 Mid Pacific Carnival, in which it was am
,,ly exenplifed that the American people are Sc
nius in organizing ability cooperating with other
natonalites races irrespective crees or coors
OF politics
We, the Japanese residents, are heartily glad that
the Carnival for this year has been the most
fol one which we had ever seem that the Americans
have been so broad minded and open hearted that
they invited MS to join their big memorial national
event and have given MS a golden chance to show
that the Honolulu Japanese are not less loyal to the
comnAunity spirit and still more they are not less
patriotic than the American citizens to the land Of
liberty, under which they enjoy an honorable pro
lection $
We accord full credit to the directors of the Car
nsal for the success of the 1917 MidPacifc Carni-
val, and we hope for another success for the 1918
Carnival

A Legend of Lace.

According to Melchior de Vogue, the
legend of lace is as follows: A Vene-
tan sailor gave his ladylove frond of
spreading seaweed to keep him in
memory while at sea. But the girl
found that the seaweed was rapidly
drying up and disappearing. So she
caught the fine branches and leaves Of
the plant with thread against a piece
Of linen and, working on, with her
thoughts following her lover, invented
lace.

OUR COUNTRY

Now party lines are swept away,
And petty feuds put by,
And every eye is fixed upon
Our banner in the sky.
From Oyster Bay to Oregon,
~ From Florida to Maine,
The nation rises up as one
And shouts the proud refrain,
sour Country"
The alien who beneath the stars
And stripes has sought and found
Protection and the home denied
Where monarchies abound,
No matter in what distant land
He first beheld the light,
In turn protects Old Glory now,
And cries with all his might:
"Our Country!"
In peace or war, from coast to coast
A living bulwark stands,
A solid wall of loyal hearts
And ever-ready hands.
Americans of every race
And color, cult and creed
Unite for it, and fight for it,
And die for it if need,
Our Country.
