Where a Drive" Is Needed

In the rush of affairs caused by two public events
which absorbed general interest and activity--the
visit of the congressional party and the death OF
the queen with its accompaniment of a weeks cere-
lnonips-the city and county government has been
rather forgotten. -. III.
Supervisor Bellina has been away from the city
on mainland trip; Supervisor Petrie has been do
ing the honOrs for the municipality with trip
around the island with the congressman; Supervisor
Arnold has been so firmly planted at the national
guard camp that he was refused permission to leave
for board meeting and Supervisor Mott-Smlth
has been i'll part Of the time and exceedingly busy
all the time Hence a dearth of activity around the
city hall 49,.
Meanwhile the plan to concentrate the city's pub
lie works in one bureau has been apparently idle.
Apparcntly-not really. The leayen is working.
The idea proposed by Mr. Mott-Smith is developing,
and has Won general favor in the community. Some
OF the details are obe worked out and among these
details are some rather troublesome technical mat.
ters so that the drafting of suitable ordinances is
neither easy rapid But the idea is right and
should be put through
Naturally. the sooner it is put into execution,
the better. Recently there was reported to the
Star-Buletin small but significant incident show
ing where lack of close attention to city manage

the city $3.50, the price of the truck having gone
up $50 while the city dads were making up their
minds. .+ .@..5@.-E -.
Of course haste in putting across items of bust.
ness has cost Honolulu more than that, ten times
more but the best purchasing system is usually that
which is forehanded which has the necessary sup
plies as soon as they are really needed.
The program which must be carried through if
this city is to go forward in the next two years is
not program which can be delayed. Every hour
counts and must count. Since the coalition of tive
Republican and two Democratic supervisors on a
platform of efficiency, the present board holds
more of promise for progress-for progress in def
mite and constructive way-than most of the boards
elected in Honolulu's still short history as a MUM
cpality ..-
Ne program dealing with city affairs and which
trod the toes of politicians put through
without energy, ginger, "drive" behind it. No pro-
gram can be put through here without hard work,
enthusiasm and probably some pretty stiff fighting.
But such program is worth fighting for and the
community is in the frame of mind now to welcome
a concentrated and uninterrupted effort that will
reorganze the city service and make it vastly more
efficient

Friends of Prohibition

Senator Myers at the Chamber of Commerce ban
quet last night touched frankly on vital question
in declaring in favor of strict prohibition for Ha-
wall. :.. II.
If study of island problems does not inevitably
bring the conclusion that booze ought to be ruled
forever from these shores, then study of island
problems results in nothing.
The congressman who have been here may have
diverse views upon the subject of national prohibi-
ton; upon the subject of local prohibition there can
scarcely be disagreement Only two kinds of people
longer oppose prohibition here-those who by bust
ness or political affation are tied up to booze and
those who cling TO the doctrine that enactng dry
legislation is blow at personal liberty.
The views of the first set are frankly mercenary,
frankly selfish. The views of the second set are
sometimes sincere sometimes merely the talk of pre-
judice and ignorance and, in any event, the people
of the United States are fast getting past the point
of listening to the selfappointed preserers of per
sona liberty" ~.
At this very moment the booze business Oh the
mainland is organizing itself to block for a little
longer if possible the enactment of national prohi
btion legislation. At this very time the booze in
terests. preparing to fight against prohibition
for Hawaii a.: ~=.
Let us hope that men like Senator Myers, Senator
Thompson, Senator Poindexter and others will. on
their return TO Washington, give special attention
TO furthering legislation that will make Hawaii
"dry" All kinds of attempts will be made to con.
fuse the issue the "home rule" slogan will be in.
iected if the booze advocates see favorable oppor-
tunity TO use this sort of strategy, and there will
be frantic attempts to stare off decision for year.
or two years "a. ~
But the sooner prohibition comes to Hawaii, the
better for the islands. l. H..

TOday's Edition

Today's special edition is not intended as a gen
eral summary of Hawaiis activities in industry or
in any other line. 1t deals with two principal sub
jects the visit of the congressional party and the
annual distribution Of plantation bonuses.
Featured particularly in the many photographs
of the congressmen's island. tour are the schools
they visited Kauai. Most of the visitors call the
schools of the territory among the most impressive
spectaces they have seen during the past two weeks
They were prepared to find here community highly
specialized industrially, for Hawaii is recognized
as the leading aneproducing country of the world
in modern methods of field and mill. Few were pre-
pared, however, for the widespread system of pop
ular education, for the number and high average
of effort in the schools and for the special emphasis
place on patriotic observance.
Hawaii does not wish to boast undulv of achieve
ments here but the other hand, it is idle to be-
little what has been done, what is being done and
what is being attempted along the path of Amer
icanization No fair-minded observer can deny hat
Hawaii's raceproblems are being solved with re-
markable success.
The special section devoted to the plantation
bonus and it's accompanying features is designed
especially for mercantile interest There is ire
mendous new field for trade opened up with each
annual bonus payment-a field which is ready for
the development of live-wira merchants with up-to,
date methods of winning and holding patrons and
purchasers.
Perhaps most illuminating in referring to the
merchandising establishments and this new market
for locally-sold goods is the fact that there is
sharp difference Of opinion to whether the bonus
money goes directly into local channels. This very
difference of opinion shows that new situation has
been created for merchants to meet; a new field is
here whose possibilities are still neither wholly real
lied nor we'll organized.
With what cordially and typcalIy Hawaiian
greetings the congressional party was welcomed on
each island shown pictorially in The illustrations
today. 1t is unfortunate that the congressman
could not have visited Maui. They would have re-
ceived there the same warm welcome; they would
have found there one phase of special nterest-he
special attention paid to community welfare work
on all the plantations. Maui perhaps leads the 9TH
er islands in this, though on each of the other
islands there are plantations which are doing a
great deal for the social life of their employees
On all of the islands definite progress is observ.
able in this direction Not only are earnings stead
lily on the increase, but each year Hawaii is adding
to the comforts and enjoyments of the aborers who
are vital part in the success of Hawaiis chief in
duStry.

PROF. F. A. OGG
ATTACKS BOB

Frederick A. Ogg, professor of pc,
litical science in the University OF
Wisconsin, in letter to the New York
Times, declared that Senator La Fol.
lette does not truly represent Wiscon-
sin, which, as a state, is loyal and pa
triotic. Professor Ogg says:
CAS- a resident of wisconsin and a
member of the faculty Of the state uni
versity, I wish to express complete
disapprobation of the attitude of Sen
ator La Toilette toward the admins
trations conduct of the war. Last
November, under conditions very diff
ferent from those that now obtain,
Mr.. La Toilette was reelected to the
senate by an Overwhelming majority.
This by no means indicates that his
state is behind him today. If it were,
his course would still be Objectionable.
Il am sure that the mass of Wis
consin people are just as loyal and
patriotic as any in the country; and
there is plenty of evidence that they
know what the war is for and why
peace proposals at this stage are
dangerous, even if their senior senat-
or does not"

BAD CONDITIONS
IN ARMENIA

"The War and Deportations in Tur-
key was the subject of an address
of intense interest given in the Con-
gregational church last Sunday morn
ing by Miss Bertha B. Morley, who
for a term of years was one of the
Congregational missionaries teach
ing in Anitolia college at Marsovan,
Turkey, until with fourteen others
she was driven out by the Turks in
July, 1916.
Miss Morley spoke of the city and
college in which she was located in
the prosperous days four years ago,
of the calamity passed through and
of present conditions and hopes for
the future Four hundred students
were in attendance at the college,
Armenians predominating, but scores
of Greek, Russian and even Turkish
young people were attracted to its
classes by the superior educational
opportunities afforded, all happy and
Industrious, although Injuries and
many comforts were lacking.
Then came the dark days when
the Turkish government began sys-
tematic attempt to exterminate the
Armenian race, insofar as they would
not accept the Moslem religion. The
move was under the pretense of NOV
ing them to another locality. The
men were separated from the women
and girls. The former were ruthless
ly shot down and the latter subjected
to fiendish cruelty until in many in
stances death came to their relief
The college is reduced from 400
students and 80 teachers to 30 stu
dents and 5 teachers Two heroic
teachers, Miss Willard and Miss
Gates, in the face of apparently GER
tain death, accompanied the girls and
by marvellous effort and courage res
cued 4S of them from their brutal
captors and brought them back to
Marsovan, where they are at the pres
ent time caring for wounded soldiers
This is only one community in alE
that land that has been ravished and
is drenched in blood by the hand Of
the cruel Turk. Words are made
quate to describe the cruelty and
starvation endured by the defense
less Armenian people, who all must
have persisted were it not for relief
furnished by Americans and others
and administered by the missionaries.
a few of whom are permitted to re-
main. Thousands more are near to
death from starvation. The wall of
hungry little children comes to the
great kind heart of America. Checks.
or cash may be sent to the American
Committee for Armenian and Syrian
Relief, Charles r. Crane, treasurer,
70 Fifth avenue, New York city. All
such contributions are forwarded by
cable and used directly for relief,
without any expense for administra-
ton.
The missionaries are aniouxsly
waiting for the time when the war
shall end and they shall be permitted
to return to the people who as anx-
iously await their coming.
Miss Morley is niece of N. w.
Morley of Baraboo.

BAR GERMAN FROM
CLEVELAND SCHOOLS

DR.. Frank E. Spaulding has become
superintendent of Cleveland's schools.
One of the first accomplishments Of
his. administrat' on will be the elimina-
ton of the study of German from the
grammar grades.
Spaulding will be paid $4,000 a year
the highest salary Of any school su-
perintendent in America. He came
from Minneapolis. He demanded and
has been given a free hand, such as
he had in NJ nneapolis.
The new superintendent promises
red -blOoded Americanism as one Of the
cardinal principles of his administra
ton. He has personally read each
text book, searching out any germs of
pro-kaiserism that may have crept in.
