THE NATIONAL GUARD
 IN CONWAY.

The Log Cabin Democrat is in hearty sympathy with the movement headed by Dr. J. z. Bailey and others of this city to organize a local com pany of the national guard Events of the past two and a half years have proved beyond doubt that nation to command the respect of the rest of the world must be ready if neces- sary to maintain it's rights with the sword. Disarmament may-and it is devoutedly to be hoped that it will come at the end of the present world wide struggle, but until it does come it is foolhardy for the United States to remain unprepared. The Puritan fathers did not cease to carry their guns with them to church until there was no longer danger from maraud- ing Indians. Neither can our nation afford to lay down it's arms and ex- pose it's helplessness while two-thirds of the world is war-mad.
 It is an evidence of fine patriotism when young man volunteers to serve his country by bearing arms for 1t. We no longer deride the members of the guard as "tin soldiers" but, except in time of war, we do not ac- cord them the respect they are due. In the older states to be chosen a mmber of many of the companies of the national guard is distinguished honor. Some of them are able to trace contiuous organization from the days of the American revolution and membership in such a company IS coveted distinction. While there would be no touch of arstocracy in Conway company, the very fact that 1t would be essentially democratic would only add to the honor which it would give to it's men.
 We hope that Dr. Bailey's efforts will meet with success and that every man who is eligible and qualified for service, and who is not withheld by the support of dependent families, will enlist in the Conway company of national guard. Those who are not so fitted for enlistment can aid by lending their support and encourage ment. by according the company the respect and admiration which will be due it and by assisting in making the surroundings of the company as pleasant, attractive and uplifting as it is possible to do.

HEREFOR music,
SAYS VISITOR

Mrs. Bertha Evelyn TAFT. business
manager of the Portland. Ore, Sym
phony Orchestra, is a visitor in Homo
lulu. Mrs. TAFT is known throughout
the Northwest as one Of the leading
musical figures in that section. She
is spending the summer with her
son, Claire TAFT, who is well known
in Honolulu.
Honolulu has wonderful opportu-
mites for music" said Mrs. TAFT to-
day. "A city is often judged by the
quality of it's music and it Is a fact
that music attracts the best class OF
citizens
ITO make a really musical com
munity, you must first begin with the
children. People who love music and
that education without music is i'm
possible
The Portland Symphony Orches-
ira, made up of 60 public spirited mus
icians, gives its dress rehearsals free
to school children, entertaining 1000
each month.
Good music should be encouraged
in Honolulu. Nowhere in the world
could harmony of sound find SUCH a
superb setting Music should form a
part of the civic endeavors of this
community. When words are not
subtle enough to express all that we
mean, we have the universal language
of music, which is always an inspira-
ton to higher ideals, and better citi-
zenship.
Hundreds of cities throughout the
country take pride in their music,
and Honolulu has a wonderful oppor.
tunity to do so. An artist like Maude
Powell should draw packed houses in
your CITY," she concluded.
Mrs. TAFT is here on a vacation, but
her interest in music may cause her
to arrange a program for Honolulu

imported from japan. The merchants
