Ii is significant that three organizations, all ell
gagged in combating commercialized vice in New
York City, almost simultaneously have reported u
noteworthy decrease in the extent of form OF
such vice-that is the exploiting of wothcn. These
three organizations are the committee OF fourteen,
the society for the prevention of crime and the bu-
reau of social hygiene.
Ii seems evident that the investigation of the so
called ,''vice ring" which followed the exposures
brought by the murder of the gambler, Herman
Rosenthal, by Police Lieutenant Becker and four
gunner was the beginning of a campaign which has
steadily decreased the power of the promoters of
cOnmercalized prostitution. Says the report of the
bureau of social hygiene: Vce still exists; but it's
amount has been greatly reduced and the damage
caused has been immensely lessened. In 1912 pro-
stitutOn was open, organized, aggressive and pro
sperous in 1916 it is furtive disOrganized precari
GUS, unsuccessful. This improvement is shown in the
statistics, but matter of fact the real i'm
proyement is far greater than the statistics show
The report of the committee of fourteen contains
several striking findings. For instance it is said
Most amazing perhaps TO the outside world has been
the cooperation of those engaged in theliquor trade
and particularly of the brewers = in the effort
to improve conditions in saloOLs and hotels" In
the second place. the committee feels that it has ex
ploded the theory that the great department stores
of the city are breeding grounds for prostitution"
and reports that it has had great assistance from
some of the department stores in investigating this
matter Another improvement is the reorganization
of the courts and the increased cooperation Of the
courts with one another, with the police and with
the district attorneys in handling prostitution.
The committee has also found the New York City
police to be Increasingly helpful but regrets that it

PARTNERSHIP WITH VICE?

What American city is travelling in the direction
OF recognizing and legalizing vice through the estab
fisiment and supervision of a "redlight district?'
The question is asked directly of those legislators
reported fayoring this course for Honolulu
Is there one city now moving along this line?
Name it.
Does Honolulu choose to enter deliberately and
FORMALLY into partnership with shameful vice. with
a horrible traffic?
Is there any legislator who seriously proposes to
bind the capital city to bargain with prostitutes
and panders?

HAWAI- TO THE AMERICANS.

81. FROM (he Independent Review tJaps nese)
The Honolulu americans are to be congratulated
for their remarkable achievements in carrying out
the 1917 MidPaciic Carnival, in which it was am.
ply exemphfed that the American people are ge-
Mus in organizing ability cooperating with other
atonalities orraces irrespective creeds coors
We, the japanese residents, are heartily glad that
the Carnival for this year has been the most
fuI one whih we had ever seen; that the Americans
have been SO broad minded and open hearted that
they invited us to join their big memorial national
event and have given us a golden chance to show
that the Honolulu Japanese not less loyal to the
community spirit and still they not less
natriotic than the American citizens to the land of
liberty, under which they enjoy an honorable pro-
We accord full credit to the directors of the Car
niyal for the success of the 1917 Mid Pacific Carni
val. and we hope for another success for the 1918
Carnival.

What is daylight saving and what are the argu
ments in favor of it?
Daylight saving is the adjustment of the time
daily devoted to labor and Of that devoted TO
ton those portions of the day in which the former
may find itself most efficient and the latter the most
enjoyable and beneficial
TO effeet This adjustment, il is considered neces
sary to set the clock ahead during that half of the
year in which the daylight period lasts the longer.
Obviously, this tnkering with the clock is little
other than bowling to tradition and ingrained Gus
TOM The plan for daylight saving would work
just wellif the working public could adapt itself
promptly to getting to its various abors at earl
Ter hour, knowing that by just 50 much earlier
would the closing whistle blow
But the psychological element must be catered to
in daylight saving Long accustomed to going by
the clock, Ne find easier to adjust the clock to
our habits than to adjust ourselves to new hours
Tor going to VII Ind quitting work
Daylight saving has bern tried in this country
IN the cities l9f cleveland and Detroit. The clock
was moved fofNard one hour by the single process
Of shifting from central to eastern time Mr. Robert
Garland presidents0f the chamber of commerce of
Pittsburg and chairman Of the special committee on
daylight saving of the chamber Of commerce OF the
United States, made special inquiry assto the ane
Of their populations were found to be largely in
favor of it ON the basis OF their experience with it.
When the matter Of daylight saving was brought
up before the chamber Of commerce of Pittsburg the
three thousand businessmen comprising its member
ship were unanimously in favor Of adoption OF the
IIan.
The United States chamber of commerce, at its
recent annual convention, recommended that action
be taken by Congress to authorize change in time
in the proper seasons in order TO effect daylight saw
ing. This recommendation by the national chamber
express the countrywide sentiment Commercial or
PLANTATIONS and civic bodies of most Of the large
American cities and Of many smaller communities
are supporting the movement to have the clock
turned one hour forward by national legislative
enactment.
No effective arguments against the plan have as
yet i,een defelopet Opposition has come, as, was
10 have been expeted, from some scientists astrono
misis principally who declare the thing deceptive
dishonest and wrongs, SO far as setting the clock
ahead is CONCERNED.
This opposition amounts to quibbling. If daylight
saving is worth while, the surest and most practical
way Of making the plan effective is the one tobe fol-
Daylight saving is undoubtedly to become perma-
nent practise abroad 1t is likely to be adopted in
this country, soon or late It's adoption will make
for ebonouy, efficiency and health.

tits too bad the plans for city golf links have
been dropped. Interest in the royal and ancient
game is growing here with remarkable rapidity
and golf is sport ideally suited to Hawais climate
and the needs of busy men and women for outdoor
recreation. The Country Club links, even though
the clubs doors are unusually wide open for mem
bership already taxed by regulars and the very
large number of tourists who come here, and the
course at Moanalua is beyond the reach of the ma
jority Of people of moderate means because Of it's
distance from the residence sections of the city.
Some day Honolulu will establish an Is,hole muni-
cPal course but this out of the question for the city
now. There are too many greater needs for the
money. @.->
