Root Out the PlOtters

L. s. District Attorney Huber Mas quoted this
morning az saying Of the Grasshof exposures:
IF. w Klebahn head of HackfeId's shipping depart
ment was not, in my opinion, involved in the con
spiracy here TO such extent would warrant the
federal grand Jury conducting an investigation said
Huber. From the extracts of Grasshofs diary pub
lished in the papers Klebahn did figure very
inenty he added and think it is hardly likely that
the department Of justice Will order inquiry in his
connection"
The Star Bulletin has no quarrel With Mr.
Hubers Office nor wish to criticize its conduct Of
affairs within its Jurisdiction. But the Star BuIIe-
tin does say emphatically that public opinion de-
mands, and assurance of public safety usties. such
steps by the proper officials as will drive into the
open every German and German sympathizer mixed
up in these plots
Public opinion demands. and assurance Of public
safety justihes, that revelations like those in the
Grasshof diary be followed Immediately by such
action as will determine whether these intrigues
can be carried on in Honolulu with utter insolence
and apparent impunity.
Public opinion demands and assurance of public
safety justifes that Germanism of the base and
insldious type barred in the published Grasshof
diary be rooted out of Hawaii now and forever
This paper does not presume to say that Wash
ington 10 not acting perhaps through the naval in
telhgence offce. to punish intriguers according
their deserts. 1t does say that there is evidence
that the federal officials are acting or prepar
ing to act upon the Grasshof disclosures. We do
not know whether or not they should act. That is
the trouble-we do not know.
But the whole community is saying that when
Honolulu for many months was made the base for
spy operations and plot activities, want to know
and We have right to know, ,chether erery man
tn any position concerned in the upholding of lac
and order is now on the job.
This includes not only federal officials but terri
torial officials and municipal officials. Every man
from the policeman on the beat to the Judge in his
court must be alert every minute Of the day and a
large part of the night vgilant against the plotters
whose work never stops until they arc stopped!
The situation in Honolulu is coming to the point
where citizens are not far from uniting in demand
to Washington that drastic measures be taken to
stamp out the evil Germanism which fourished un-
der such men as Grasshof and his cultured assor
ciates. = a4&@a = e.

Who Is the Man?

Dr. H. Homer Hayes Honolulu physician, has
been indicted by the territorial grand jury and ar
rested on the charge Of performing criminal
operation The woman upon whom the operation
has been performed is known to the authorities,
and her name appears in the Indictment
But the name of the man who is her guilty part
she sought surgical relief to hide her shame; the
man whose attentions and Establishments brought
her to this deeply sad cOndition-the name of this
man is not given There so far appears to have
been insufficient to bring out this name in all its
guilty responsibility.
Who is he?
Where is he?
Hints and rumors as to his identity are not lack
ing. But they are not enough to place him in his
deserved position of shame at least equal to that
Of the woman who yielded to his caresses and res
pended to his phandering.
Is the woman. in the course of developments that
must inevitably bring her identity before the pub
lie to suffer alone, while the man hides behind
anonymity? Is she to bear the full brunt Of so
ciety's stigma while he himself in the SNUG
satisfaction Of the double standard?' Is he to
continue his supposedly respectable way in this city
claiming the esteem Of his felow.men, while the
poor girl who strayed from rectitude Is paying the
penalty of exposure through the prosecution of the
physician performing the operation?
Who is the man?
Who is the guilty individual - he who is not
less to be blamed than the weaker woman?
Is he to go unwhipped Of law and unparalleled
by social Justice?
Unmask him! =. ....t

1t will not do to be supremely confident that the
Austro- Germans have been stopped on the Piave
front. Germany is making a tremendous effort to
scut deep into Italy and secure a basis for winter
peace propaganda. 1t is obviously part of Berlins
political strategy to separate Italy from the Allies
=as Russia and Rumania are being separated. Ger.
many would willingly sacrifice million men to
start real separate peace movement in Italy.
Therefore the lull of day or two in the fighting
does not signify that the enemys great drive is
stopped permanently. However, British and French
troops-the kind that have been holding the Ger
mans on the west for a year and half without
mile OF gain-are now reinforcing the Italians, and
any further advances of the troops under Macken.

advances already made.

There is nothing new about the waste of perfectly
good food at the dumps" What is new is the in
tense public indignation about the matter. and that
let Us hope, will be enduring One of the recognized
methods Of keeping up prices is for spectators to
buy perishable products-apples vegetables. grapes
berries, or what not-at the place where they are
grown, and leave them there to rot. Perhaps hun
dred miles away, there was bitter need for these
foods, but that made no difference. They were kept
of the market the price of similar foods in the
market was thereby raised, the spectators who
practised this rascality were thereby enriched -
and the general public paid no heed. That last
item is the nub of the whole business If the Amer.
lean people make up their minds that food shall
not be wasted and thrown away to increase the
wealth Of parasitic profiteers they will find some
way to enforce their will.-Chicago Journal.
