Good Year for Doctors.

doctors" remarked an inferno. accord

"Only II few years ago there were So
many VI. D.'s with their shinglc ont
here that some Of them had to take up
other business To keep the wolf from
the door. But now there is dearth
Of these professional men. In fact,
they are So scarce that almost every
day editorials ar advertisements are
printed calling for 10000 doctors for
the French army or $4,000 doctors

The Social Conscience.

The most important discovery of
the present age is not the discovery
Of the telephone, or of wireless teleg'
raphy, or Of the antitOXins Of dis
ease, but the discovery of the social
conscience. Never before in the his
tory Of the world have people been so
touched by social sympathies, so
moved by social passion, 50 eager for
social umclIOratiOn. Wuge-carners and
capitalists, philosophers and plain peo-
pie, wise and ignorant are equally
concerned for this application of social
duty. When some philosophical his
rorlun recalls the character Of the pres.
cnt age lr may well be that he shall
describe II as the age Of the social

aOur judgment has been that the

there could be no question Of It's con-

people have strongly advocated the

In accordance with their views Sena-

evident that the senate judiciary COM

CONSERVATIVE FIRE WITH pUBIIcITY.


The legislature Of 1917 vas asked to do and did
do great deal Of work on behalf Of the National
Guard Of Hawaii. One Of its closing acts was to

headquarters
The recruiting has begun but not il the organized

mo apparent organization Of all the national guard
forces toward the same end
For instance, on Saturday recruiting headquar.
ters were opened for the two coast artillery com
penies Today plans are afoot for recruiting the
machineGun company. Apparently with no co.
ordination whatever various company commanders

The newspapers know this because there Is no
systematic publicity campaign under way, though

War rumors breed with the fecundity Of flies and
circulate with the speed Of electricity Honolulu has
lis share Its good rule, whenever you hearsa
vague runOr, to put II down rs unconfrmed and re
fuse to ret excited about il until II is confirmed
Last Saturday good many people in Honolulu
heard that q mysterious vessel, possibly German
raider, had bern seen OF Iahaina, Maui. Now, Of
course the chances are thousand 10 one that the
vessel couldn't have been . German raider, and
there's no sense in getting excited about the one
lone possibility.
This spy business is another opportunity to exer-
else common sense. Every mysterious individual,
every man whose greatgreat grandfather once ate
. pretsel or expressed q liking for cheese sand
uich il promptly put down-by some folks as q
German spy The fact that for every German or
German American meddling with Warplots there
are some hundreds Of thousands who minded their
own business seems not to be taken into account.
Part 81 this Of course IS due to the small minority
OF Teutonics who did most Of the talking during the
two years and some months before We broke with
Germany. This noisy element brought discredit on
an overwhelmingly larger number who had no part
In II.
The German spy and the mysterious Submarine
will be bogies for some tim6 to come to certain
type Of mind. However, early and industrious APP
plication Of the salye Of common sense viii allay
much Of that suspicious feeling.
