THURSDAY NOVEMBER s, 1917.
Keep Pace With Americanism

The trend of liberalism in mainland politics is
again indicated by the election returns OF New lofR
state and Ohio.
In New York the cause of womans suffrage has
triuInphed in the balloting upon constitutional
amendment \ large majority in favor OF suffrage
has been counted already and as belated returns
come in. the majority grows.
In Ohio long stronghold OF the liquor interests,
King sooze has apparently been forced to abdicate
as unceremoniously as Nicholas Romanoh ana con
stantine were forced to abdicate.
Ohio presented the situation familiar in other
states where an election has been had upon probi-
ton The cities cast a majority of ballots for a
continuation of the "wetr regime, but the country
districts came through strongly against ntoxicants
The loss of Ohio will be staggeri-g to the anti
prchibitionists. Cincinnati is one of the liquor
strongholds of the country and here the argument
that the manufacture of liquor is industry vital
to the prosperity of the community used to the
limit. But the great country vote of Ohio, that
state which has mothered presidents on its farms
and ranches, went squarely for prohibition Though
tie decision is close as the Star Bulletin goes to
press, the signs are that Ohio is moving into the
'.all-white" column.
Hawaii's opportunity to free itself from the
economic and social rayages of booze is nearing.
Dr. L. c. Dinwiddie one of the energetic, hard-hit.
in line with the campaign to make Hawaii dry 2
points out truly that this community should be free
of liquor. Ever since the order forbidding the
sale of liquor to soldiers has gone into effect of
Honolulu have admitted, sometimes in shame
faced way, that the community which prevents a
soldier from getting drink and allows drink to be
sold freely to civilians is discriminating is setting
up class distinctions 1t is wrong it is American.
For some years the newspapers of this city have
been summarizing in news stories and editorials
the effects of booze upon crime. The cause of many
crimes Of violence, lust and cowardy vice has been
traced many times back to the old story of indulg-
ence in booze. The sentiment of Hawaii has chang
ed materially since the day, seven years ago. when
well-organized and well-fnanced liquor brigade
defeated at the polls halforganized and mis-
handled temperance phalanx.
So Enthusiastically is the trend of American senti-
ment toward prohibition that Hawaii, of whose
Americanism we have reason to be proud, must in
evitably become in this respect reaetionary unless
we place this territory in the dry column Homo
lulu should lead the way.

ROLLING UP THE GREAT RECORD.

Americas second Liberty Loan has been oyersub-
scribed by more than one billion, six hundred mil
lion dollars. The totals announced in Washington
last night amount TO S4617, 532. 800. Half of this
oversubscription will be accepted
In Hawaii the record of oversubscription ran pro-
portionately far ahead of the rest of the country
Our quota than twice subscribed The
quota was $3,000000, and the amount subscribed
was $S,O60,S0O. More than five million was over
subscription.
The response of all America to the call of the na-
tion has been magnificent \ few days ago there
were rumors in Hawaii trat the loan was going bad
ly on the mainland wac not more than half-sub-
scribed, would be failure. The figures announced
last night in Washington set at rest such rumors
Americans have risen to the opportunity for pari-
otc service they have risen before and will rise
again, and continue to rise until war shall hare
been fought to an .llied victory.

IN PASADENA.

It has long been recognized that the female of tn
species is more deadly than the male, but the male
IF Pasadena, CAL appear to have embarked on al
attempt to wrest this reputation from the ladies
Read the following from Pasadena paper:
DR. ]. H. Warner captain in charge of the knitting
being done by Pasadena fremen for the sailors and
soldiers under the direction of the local branch of the
navy league, and Mrs. Robert L. Clifford who is fur
nishing all the yarn and other materials being used
very much pleased with the interest the firemen
are displaying in the work. and the energy and enthu-
siasm with which they are entering into it.
The men look upon their knitting serious, pa
rotic matter but that does prevent their getting
considerable, amount OF fun out of it. According to
report received at the navy league they arrang
ing for afternoon tea to be held at of the
CINE houses in the near future, to which all the
with time off will be invited No who fails to
bring his knitting will be admitted, however.
Keen rivalry has developed among the firemen as
to who can turn out the most work. One
found sitting up in bed knitting this morning. He
confessed that he had been at it tince daylight 9th
ers have acquired the habit already of taking their
knitting home on their half days off. They stoutly
deny the accusation that their mothers, wives or
daughters, the may be, do the knitting for
them on these occasions. ~.
Fire Chief Thurston is respectfully requested t
Introduce knitting among the indoor sports of til
oca1 firemen.

Dear Sirs: Would be pleased to see
this little piece put in print.
A REGULARS APPEAL
We give you our service, you shut of
our beer,
But the. Stacker can drink till he's full
TO the ear:
We leave our good homes to keeP
you from HARM
But the Stacker goes by with girl
49,. on his arm
And laughs at the soldier, poor, I'M
lucky cuSs,
You so with the Stacker, why ostra-
ciZe us?
The Stacker rides round in a Ford
of his own
And charges two bits to pull us to
town;
We're doing our duty, his liver is
white,
Yet we are in camp at nine bells
each night.
While he sticks around as long as
he cares.
And laughs at the soldier, that is,
if he dares.
Discipline, we know. is a thing that
must be,
But, honest to goodness, We fail to
see,
When the soldier drinks nothing
but water and pop,
Why the drinks of the Stacker
should also not stop.
The Stacker can dance. and it seems
rather hard

THAT GARDEN CONTEST.

That the garden contest which is to begin on the
first of January is popular move is Indicated in
the activity already being displayed by those who
are to be numbered among the determined ones to
win first place at the conclusion of the contest
However, if it is to be a contest in the proper
way there should be some definite plan made as to
conditions under which the commence ment should
be made. For instance, there are those who are at
present in position to begin planting if it were
necessary, while there others who are still I'M
decided just where to lay out the garden plot. To
make the contest more interesting and to even mat
ters up as nearly possible, an arrangement where

tons would in the opinion of the Post, more APPLY

one Of the many men wl0 have
made a fortune in sugar during
the past three years, on Market
street the other day. AS he is not
stopping with his wife and children
at Stanford Court this time, his word
is evidently as good as his check. The
last time while On visit he put up
at the fashionable apartments on Mob
Hill after mild protest about his
young children. A few days later
there was a verbal explosion when
the management, due to the protest
of other rich but childless families
objected to bottles OF milk being de
liYered at his door every morning
for the Riddles, and which~remained
exposed in the hall before the door
a little time to the great offense Of
the protestants.

portions Of France reeonquered BY the
allies.
Launch a vast force of doctors and
nurses for actual medical work on the
West front without an instant's loss of
time.
Develop and broaden the work OF its
present organization TO a point where
the American Red Cross will rival, IL
not exceed in efficiency, the relief or
ganizations OF every country at war.
Obtain through every possible source
an unlimited amount of money and un-
limited numbers OF doctors and nurses.
Begin as soon as practicable a gigantic
war relief campaign along every battle
line held by the entente allies
Eliot Wadsworth, vice chairman OF the
Red Cross executive committee as 1t is
constituted at present, also attended the
interview and supplied facts as to Red
Cross growth.
Oficers of the new Red Cross war coun-
ell, which Is now headed by Mr.. Davi-
son. will be located in the Red Cross
Building in Washington. A branch office
will be located in New York. he said,
to handle all foreign shipments. The
work Will be done through the p"eesnt
Red Cross system of chapters, although
it was the plan to- vastly increase the
number and scope Of these subordinate
units
The new war council with Mr.. Dawson
will include two members of the present
Red Cross executive committee, EXPIRES
ident Taft and Eliot WadswOrth. The
other members of the new council, as
