HAS A CROUCH ON HONOLULU

Honolulu, Oct. 81, 1917.
Editor Honolulu Star.Bulletin:
Sir: AS visitor to Honolulu,
find myself nerved to ask question
that is asked by other visitors, name.
ly, What is the matter with Honolulu?
Here every prospect pleases and
only man makes his fellow beings
,dolefuI and despairing. This fact
would not be so unpleasant were it
not for the fact that the man re-
ferred to in this connection is numer-
ically a small part of the population
who assumes to be ALL in city that
should be as cosmopolitan as it is
windswept. Ninety per cent of the
people are under the sway OF
unpopular laws, including the tourist
who comes here misinformed as to
true conditions. r.. ..-.=:.
1t seems to me that the governing
body of Honolulu if 1t wishes to as
pire to the cult of puritanical New
Englandism might in all fairness
take pains to explicitly deny the ex
ploitation given this city and island
by song writer's, showmen, travellers
and magazine story people. In plain
English, the big world is very much
under the impression that this place
is prime. for those who seek indus-
gence in wine, women and song, with
certain bizarre features that make it
different from other similar attrac-
tions. 1t is because this impression
is worth untold millions of dollars
that the promotion committee refuses
to scotch the lie?
Visitors in Honolulu have a good
time because they seek it out for
themselves, or else they go without
it. The makin's are here, but offic,
tally Honolulu frowns on all the
pleasures that soldiers or millionaires
may find. t"=
Here the two newspapers printed
in English--both of which are alike
and say "Me, too" to every editorial
utterance Of the other, as far as any
casual eye can see-lift up their
hands in wrong direction to a hea-
ven that they know nothing about,
while printing diatribes in behalf OF
prohibition, a state of intolerance
that they seek to fasten on the com
munity, unmindful of the fact that its
advertising effect would be about as
valuable to the islands as if it were
announced that they had been an
chored off the coast of Alaska. Not
everybody drinks, but the majority OF
pleasure seekers know that the kill
joys hold all the professions in the
wake of a dry wave. ."s..
And they've. made it closed Sun
day town! So very fitting, too, with
not one-fourth of the population OF
Christian belief. Some little villages
most OF them in fact-are not as
narrow as the government of this
city of varied races in the mid
Pacific. II ....:...z -. ..

Here also we hear bowls, mostly
from the newspapers, to clean up a
town that is already the most brow
beaten, lawridden was ever in. The
liquor men are called upon to inter-
pref the law regarding selling liquors
to soldiers even as the government
did not intend, If the cities on the
mainland are not all mistaken. The
daily press provides as an antidote
for it reform pabulum a sort OF forced
and manufactured wartime patriot
ism of jingoistic persuasion such as
/ have never encountered elsewhere.
It makes patriot sick and a Stacker
no less proud. ~ -. s.1
Much more could be written, but
what's the use? Once again we say:
Here every prospect pleases and only
man giyeth his fellow beings a pain.

1t was most eomical, and | should
really have died of laughter were II
not for the gravity of the situation.
And when come to ponder over II
think that my little letter. has made

mendable but of direct advantage to the veteran Of

The operation of the exemption plan has awaked
surprisingly little opposition In some cases the
boards proved incompetent and few, very few,
charges of favoritism were made. These cases were
promptly handled by the higher-up authorities On
the whole, the record of the exemption boards was
superb. Their personnel was capable and anxious
to be just and fair. II

governed in constituting difficult law.

One of the most famous remarks in
all history is that of Napoleon who said that every

The Argument Of the Communicated
Steamers.

The Matson liners Maui and Manoa do not APP
pear on the Star-Buetin steamship calendar for
November. Why? Because the United States gov
eminent has taken or will shortly take these two
vessels unto itself for war purposes.
The WiIhelmina and the Matsonia have places on
the November calendar but will not appear on the
calendar for December. They will follow in the
governmental footsteps Of the Maui and Manoa.
Are we fully sensing the realization of the fact
that these moves are strong arguments for economy
in food supply. If we do realize it, what then? If
you individually realize it, what are doing to save?
What is anybody here doing for the conservation of
food? *...:~. ~. Fl. p: -
We are all willing; more than willing to do our
"bit." But why are we not all doing that sbit ?o
doing along lines of doing their Bit for way times
SAKE and it is than probable that half OF them
will say that they want to do something; they know
that they ought to do something; but they don't
know what to do.
Leaving out of the argument the conservation of
food let it be asked What are they doing to elmin-
ate waste? While it is not a sin for housewife
to plead guilty to not being able TO manage the
purchasing end to advantage, there is no excuse
for the waste of food that has been purchased
If there should be prizes offered for suggestions
that will lead to the elimination of waste we are
sure that the following would stand fairly good
chance of capturing number of them:
One housewife of this city says, 1--WE realize in
family what may be up against soon, and we
have eliminated don't like that from the family
Hocabuarv and that goes" Another says, II have
put my house ON rations' already, and as the mem
bcrs all inclined to be stout have gradually cut
down the quantity, and quite slyly am dropping
the sweet and the starch and the fat as often as
can"
Another housewife of courage and determination
declares that she purchases all her supplies in guam
titles that warrant second meal. She says, You
can make even a inicky eater a convert to twice
cooked food if you try hard enough"
4 lady in Kaimuki claims that her scheme is most
effective, The food that l am giving my family is
simple, but cooked that it is good enough to earn
AN encore, and the platter is generally cleaned"

1t is a strange phase of collective human nature
that people of any city will readily give assent t.
