Under the present administration
teamwork in legislation has been most
successful, even when sturdy mi
nority In house and senate had to be
overcome, remarks the Washington
Post. Even better teamwork can now
be obtained by an administration and
party secure In four more years OF
power. The three months Of existence
Of the present congress should be and
without doubt will be fruitful of good
work for the interests of the people.

EDITOR
URGES JAPANESE WAR ACTIVITY.

The Hochi, leading paper of Toxic, Japan, com
menting on the activity of the japanese navy in the
Mediterranean says:
I'VE could not help feeling eated to hear that the
japanese navy has been praised BY the British
papers. We cannot report details about the news
But We urge that the Japanese navy should con
tinue to display activity on q larger scale. We may
not be abIeo send an army to Europe, but the navy
can be active comparatively easily in Europe. Amer
lea is going TO send 10000 men to Europe. We
should not watch idly BY. AS We said before we
reap the fruits after we make sacrifices. There is
need for the empire to be more active in the war.
But activity should be in keeping with the fol
lowing conditions. First, there should be perfect
words, our activity should be heartily welcomed by
the other Entente Powers In the second place, our
activity should be commensurate with our financial
strength. In the third place. our sacrifices should
be made effectively, avoiding useessness. In the
fourth place, activity should be displayed grad
ualy without undue haste. In the fifth place except
where secrecy 10 necessary for of state facts
should be made public for general information. We
deem that the cause of humanity requires that
Japan should be active in the present war. Also
from the point Of view Of safety of commerce, the
Japanees navy should be active. But the most i'm
portant point to be remembered is what will become
of position after the war is over? We must pre-
pare hereafter for the coming peace conference. We
should be warned by the lessons taught by Amer
icas activity. There should be no stone left unturn
ed to ensure that at the final moment we shall not
get left"

FINANCING THE FIRST YEAR OF WAR.

One prime reason for the necessity of saving and
elimination Of waste is the support of Uncle Sans
war finance. Many people doubtless think that the
recent twobillion dollar subscription toward the
sevenbilon loan will see the United States at least
through the year. The fallacy of this assumption
is pointed out in statement by the Wells Fargo
Nevada National Bank of San Francisco, which is
advising its clients to the following effect:
4While the war lasts the country will be called
upon to absorb Liberty Bonds, it being now esti
mated thai issues aggregating $s,o0O'00O,00O to
$40 1000 900 will be required during the first
year. This amount must be raised mainly from the
saved income Of our people and herein lies the i'm
portance Of enlisting the interest Of wageearners
and others who asa class have not hitherto been
accustomed to save from their incomes; any new
savings they may make will be that much added to
the wealth Of the nation, besides the effect of en-
riching and broadening their own lives. And this
general principle has its application to the rest Of
us, businessmen and others. As Secretary McAdoo
has recently said, When say economy, I do NOT
mean lot Of hysterical selfdenici the refusal to
satisfy the ordinary needs of ourselves and our
families, the normal needs during this time of war
We do not have to cut off our normal needs. What
we do need to do is to prevent waste to stop extra
yagance and to give up Injuries for the period Of
this war"

FOOD QUESTIONS

ing: Practically all the old (taro)
crop has gone to waste in the fields"
This, ! understand from the letter, IL

the local food commission Ii doing in

commission to the people Of these
islands when 1t lets crop or any
part of q crop, especially the chief
food product Of the islands, go to
waste In the fieldT In plain, unvar-

cents q pound for sugar when the ter
ritcry manufacturers over 0e,000
tons Of that commodity each year, and
after paying the freight the producers
are more than satisfied with the quot

100 per cent over the price of raw SUI
gar to refine It? We have q refinery
here. Where is the pilikia?
Il Is also observed that there is
some talk Of q new fishing hui. It Is
to be hoped that IL will become q

The Anti-SaIoon League OF Hawaii,
daily confronted with such questions
as What is the league doing? When
are We going to get prohibition for
this territory? Why did not the COM
missioners continue the short hours
for closing? How can help the pro-
hibition movement" answers them as
follows:
The league Is doing many things.
We are preparing for our sixteenth an
nual. convention, to be held In Hawai-
ahao church. June 2S, where We shall
meet delegates from all parts Of the
islands, elect officers, hear annual re-
ports. and listen to addresses In Ha-
waiian and English.
We are writing letters to congress
men, asking for their support Of bill
for federal prohibition for this terri
tory. We are writing to Secretary of
War Baker asking that a dry zone
be created around all military reser-
Vatfons in, this territory, as matter
OF justice to the men in the service.
They are not allowed to use intoxicat
ing liquors or patronize the saloons.
neither should civilians be.
The power to make this dry area
rests in the hands of the President,
and no doubt letters written to the
secretary Of war, who would pass it
on to the President, will have the de.
sired effect. Letters from others to
the secretary of war would show
that the community is back Of this
move. The manner in which civilians
Rhnan hal
the enlisted men to evade the law
shows the need of dry area around
all reservations. In fact, it is evident
since there are thousands of soldiers
on the island of Oahu, that this island
at least, If not the whole territory,
should go dry.
