The Forbes Amusement Pier

"Th" plans eliminate The amusement pier ProP"S-
cd ~ Charles H. Forbes. former chairman
This is the news note accompanying the announce
mrnt 0f the arrion Of the harh"r commission approx
ing the plans calling for the expenditure of S2I1ooo
for the construction Of Honolulu Waterfront peers
This palrr is not now informed Of the reason for
eliminating the proposed Forbes pier; whether the
plan WAS Of the proper design t" suit the COM
miSSi0nrrS what not.
But This IaIHr does know that the Forbes ldea
Of an amusement pier for the waterfront of Homo
lulu is right.
1t does know that some day such pier will have
10 br constructed if We are to hold place as pro
gr"ssivr and intelligent city. and,
It does know that all things being equal there is
the same good reason for spending the money for
the development of the waterfront amusement pier
plan that existed for the present day Improvement
of Fort street stores and for the development OF the
civic center. The reason s-mOre people and
growing town.
The man with a breadth Of vision wider than
CorkScrew alley understand that a waterfront
amusement pier is as necessary to the life of this
city Aala park.
And who is there who will say that Aala park is
not one of our most valuable institutions?
In supporting it's claim as of the advancing
cities of the earth. Honolulu automatically sub
scribes to the doctrine that healthful amusement
centers with ample light air and water are the most
powerful factors hat can be marshaled against
dirt disease and mental and moral degeneration
Though we have public beach at Waikiki, that
bears about the relation to the service of the
center of Honolulu's crowded population district
that kapioani park does to Aala
Where hundreds gain pleasure and health from
KapioIan park thousands benefited by Aala.
The amusement pier for the center of the town
should not he forgotten; it should not be even tenn
porarily set aside for convenient season. 1t
should be provided now, while the waterfront is be-
ing reconstructed and that on a plan which it is
believed is adequate TO the expanding future respon-
sibilities of this town.

DENIES VIOLATION
OF THE RED CROSS
FLAG REGULATIONS

That none of the Red Cross regula-
tions have been violated either know
ingly or unknowingly by Honolulu
residents, is the statement of A. L..
Castle, president Of the local chapter.
in answer to the statement made by
the Red Cross Nursing Service com.
mittee yesterday. The latter organl-
zation charged that the insignia Of the
Red Cross had been used in an unau-
thorized and therefore illegal manner;
that benefit performances by private
persons where only a percentage Of
the funds is given the Red Cross are
prohibited and that persons wearing
the Geneva cross, the official insignia
of the relief society, have been pos
ing as Red Cross nurses.
MIR. Castle points out that no ono
to his knowledge has impersonated
Red Cross nurses; that persons who
are members of the society had a
right to display on Saturday the Red
Cross placards and proceeds of a per
Torrance may be donated to the ma.
tional organization at any time. The
Honolulu, Hawaii, chapter has been
authorized from Washington to col
lect money for the Red Cross organi-
cation, says Mr.. Castle.

OUR CANADIAN BRETHREN.

What revolution has taken place in the last
few years in the sentiments of the people on the
north and south sides of the line that geographical
ly divides the United States and Canada. In the
neighborhood of fifty years ago many of the people
on both sides of this imaginary line felt and even
acted like enemies Today We feel that we are
more than neghbors more than friends or even
cousins We have been drawn together by mag
netic influence that makes for humanity, or it may
be said that the democracy of the two peoples is
The prime factor in unifying the two great people
of the North American continent.
There is no doubt that Canada has for some
years appreciated hethreat of war, possibly not
foreseeing the exact point of origin, but it was
thought probable and the consensus of opinion in
Canada today is that this world struggle will de-
eide the fate of autocracy as against democracy,
Great were the demonstrations throughout the
Dominion when the United States Joined with the
other democratic peoples to uphold the cause of
humanity. The GOODNESS that once existed between
thespeople of the United States and the people of
Canada has melted, and we may believe it s for
ever. We are now joint heirs to great free institu-
tions, joint possessors of this magnificent cOntin-
ent joint partners in ownership of the richest geo.
graphical divisions of the earth.
And now we are standing side by side, fighting
side by side and willing to e side by side for
every phase of life that makes life worth the candle.
That international line has melted. for we are
brethren

BOSTON NAVY YARD
COMMANDER ENTERTAINS
FOR HAWAIIAN BOYS

{. L. Wight, who is very web
known to the old-timers of Hawaii
writes all interesting letter to 3
friend in Honolulu telling of the ell,
tertainment of Hawaiian boys by Mrs.
Rush, wife of Commander Rush OF
the Boston navy yards.
There were so boys from Hawaii
in the party, and among them was
Frank Wight, who was home on a
furlough. He is serving as chief ma.
chinist's mate in the navy, and has
been on board the cruiser st. Louis,
which seems to be quite a Honolulu
ship. Captain Trench of the st.
Louis has the reputation of giving the
boys every possible privilege, and this
is appreciated and reciprocated, as
shown by the record of perfect con.
duct marks for the whole crew.
Drunkenness, dirt and disorder find
no place on the ship.
Lieut.. Sam King is also spoken of
as being very thoughtful of the Ha-

LITTLE INTERVIEWS

TOM MERLE: There is an axle
breaking ditch at the foot of the hill
just before approaching Fort Shafter
on the town side. 1t extends the full
width of the roadway, leaving no
chance to avoid it. and it cannot be
seen until nearly into it. The city
may not have much money for road
building. but why don't the road au.
thorities fix such miserable places as
that? One might think that some Of
our own Rockies had wandered away
from their own stamping ground like
the gnomes in the night, and dug a
few trenches throughout the city.

LETTERS
HoNkINe At THE CORNERS

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: The incessant blowing OF
auto horns at crossings which are
presided over by traffic officers is a
COMPOUNDED and confounding nuisance.
There is no occasion for it. One short,
sharp toot to attract the traffic Of
ficer's notice is all that is required,
and that is not needed but on few
occasions. If, at downtown crossings
king and Fort, Hotel and Fort, etc,
autoists would refrain from sounding
their horns unless there was some ele
ment of danger manifesting itself, the
pedestrians would be better satisfied.
and could cross the street with more
confidence, using their eyes the mean
time, than to attempt to make the
plunge with the sounds of so horns
from the four directions for half a
block distant, blowing like mad at
nothing.
The eltr.3al honking is nerve de-
stroyirs. unnecessary aid positively
silly.

lSI ILS CIliIG I1IC D166O4 hhC lOAOO'
When 0ue Of those little tin :,ck
reaches, v tn a half horse power en-
CINE and a so horse power horn comes
along, you would imagine that Judg.
ment Day was just about rounding
Diamond Head, and when you look
up, expecting to see royal flush"
it is only a two spot.
While on this subject of autos
would like to state that, in nearly
every case, Of recent months, when
"a chauffeur has been arrested for
some infraction of the traffic laws, il
has been ascertained that he did not
have a license" Then why is he al.
lowed to drive without license? Is
there not pep" enough in our police
department to remedy such a glaring
evil?
In the course of the year | have
had three "mix-ups" with Japanese
chauffeurs, and in every instance |
have found that they did not have a
license to drive motor car. am of
the opinion that fully 20 per cent Of
the motor car drivers of this city have
no license. l am being borne out in
this assertion by the number Of chauf-
feurs who have been arrested lately,
and, on examination, it was found that
they had no license. They are not all
Oriental5, either.
Once in while there is spasm of
a couple of days durations by the
police, when a stand and deliver"
policy, regarding license or no license,
is in working order, and the haul"
is usually so satisfactory that it is
a wonder they don't keep it up until
the city is cleared of non-licensed
chauffeurs.

WHY?

What is the significance of the apparently studied
action of the Honolulu japanese press in taking
every opportunity to complain of the treatment of
the Japanese people and to protest against the en-
forcement of the laws of the United States in their
application to the japanese residents and arrivals
And why do these japanese papers take the parti-
2uIar period of the visitation by a japanese com
mission to fill the thoughts of their Japanese read
IRIS with comments derogatory to the United States
End United States laws?
If the action is not studied and premeditated it
is an exhibition of ignorance and an utter lack of
rourtesy and judgment.
