HIGH fence NOW
GUARDS TWO PIERS
Entrance to O. R. & |. WharveS
Can Be Made Only Through
Two Main Gates

Double precautions are being taken
by the Oahu Railroad and Land Com
pany to guard its wharves, for ten
or twelve-foot high sheet iron fence
has been constructed around all the
approaches to the railroad docks. This
is to aid the territorial and military
guards in preventing persons without
proper passes from getting on the
wharves
Entrance to the enclosure within the
fence is through two gates, one Of
which is on the road between Piers l6
and II, and from the Iwilei side
through a gate near the railroad ware
houses. Across the sidetracks coming
in from the railroad station on the
Iwilei Road there is also another gate.
This high fence was built since Mon
day morning and is saving the guards,
both at nights and in the day time,
great deal of trouble in keeping
pedestrians from cutting cross lots, or
coming into the wharves by the rail
road switches.

least in the matter of army booze aiid vice. Even
now, as set forth in General Wisser's ultimasum,
it is not proposed to lend any assistance by the
army, although elsewhere the army has offered
and supplied every help possible ''. '#
But, recognizing the fact that there has been
apathy on the part of the United States district
attorney and something more than apathy on the
part of General Wiser Honolulu has no valid
excuse for the moral condition into which the city
has been allowed to lapse, allowed in the face of
repeated disclosures, in all the knowledge that
constant reiteration in the press could supply, in
the face of things that no man with open eyes
could avoid seeing. .N
Honolulu has been satisfied with its filth Other
wise it would not have reelected Charley Rose as
sheriff or Arthur M. Brown as city attorney.
To our shame it must be said that our condi-
tons are just as we have permitted them to be-
come with open eyes and in full knowledge of all
the facts. We have voted for rottenness We have
not only condoned it but we have encouraged it.
We have refused 20 face the situation We have
imagined that we could afford to capitalize our
shame and get away with it We have baked at
our duty and denounced those who have attempt
ed to awaken us, shouldering the "reformers'
aside noisy nuisances.
Now we are getting exactly what we have COM
ing and what we should have known would come.
We are today being advertised throughout the
Union as a place without public conscience, a
strumpet city which has to be forced to be decent.

THERE is plenty of truth in what Mayor Fern
i has said in his reply to the ultimatum of
General Wiser that Honolulu must either clean
up or shut up. AT the same time, the palpable
attempt to pass the buck" only adds to the shame
Honolulu should feel over the existing situation.
1t is true that there has been no effort on the
part of the local representatives of the department
of justce,to enforce the federal laws dealing with
The illicit sale of intoxicants the various statutes
relating to vice. Whether this is the fault of the
United States district attorney and the United
States marshal, as very many believe, or is. the
fault Of the department Of justice in the instruc
tons given to Mr. Huber and Marshal Smddy, as
some claim we do not know. We do know, how
ever, that no time in the history of the Terri
tory has there been more apathy and less atten-
ton paid to complaints in the police and prosecut-
ing departments of the federal court.
1t is equally true that during the past several
months since the departure of General Strong,
there has been no continuous efforE on the part
of the military authorities to help the civil officers
of the law. For few weeks until he had reached
that stage In his work where results were in sight,
one young officer did excellent work. So we'll did
he work, as a matter of fact. and so close did he
get TO some Of the things going on, that he was
hastily recalled and some anonymous substitute
put in his stead.
The surface appearances were that the higher
ups in local army circles neutral, to say the

To Young America
BY WILLIAM G. M'ADOO,
of the Treasury.

Nations have their childhood and their days of
hard lessons just as children do. One hundred
and forty years ago; when the first American
Army marched to battle our Nation was younger
among nations than you are among your fathers,
your mothers, and their friends. Our Army had
drummer boys in those days, real boys of ten and
twelve who marched as bravey and proudly
into cannon fire as their great chief, General
Washington, himself. Our Nation had little girls,
who laughed and cheered and loaded muskets for
their fathers, who fred through -hoesfpstheir
cabin homes, when the painted Indians charged
to the very doors. 1
Where many schoolhouses stand today Ameri-
can boys and girls may have helped to fight and
to defeat the enemy, when our Nation, too, was
young.
We are in the greatest war of the worlds his
tory, and we must win this war. We can and we
shall win, if the boys and girls of America say
So and mean it, and feel it, and live it, the boys
and girls of 76 lived and felt and helped.
The Nation needs that sort Of boys and girls
today. Not to beat our drums, nor to load our
muskets, but to start great work which must be
done. 1t is the part of boys and girls today to
give an example of self-denal and sacrifice, to
teach fathers and mothers, to teach the grown
people OF the Nation, that we still have in every
young heart the spirit of TO, when boys led our
soldiers into battle and girls fought beside their
fathers at the cabin walls. The lesson is T>hrift'
saving to the point of sacrhce-sel denial Of
everything unnecessary.
If every, boy and girl says at home tonight, 81
will fight in this war;, 81 will save every penny
and loan it to my government to help save the
lives Of the big brothers of America, Il will try
to teach every American | see to do the same
then 100000 homes, the homes of all America
will be hllcd with the spirit of 70, the spirit OF
the drummer boys, of the brave girls OF those days
America will win again. it has always won
through the splendid strength courage, and sacrl-
fee in the hearts Of youths, that today will teach
the Nation the lesson of saving and serving, which
it must and will learn through the message which
It's school children will carry home.
Through saving your pennies, nickelS, dimes
quarters, and buying thrift stamps, and then war
savings certificates, you will help your country
and its gallant armies to win the war.
] know YOU will help.

The Park Job

1T will be matter of regret to very many that
i the good work done for the city by A. K.
Nierra as park superintendent, has not been
recognized by the majority of tte board of super
vsors but that the political campaign waged
against him, and through him at Supervisor Hol-
inger has been successful 1t throws upon the
municipal government the same shadow that the
late Chief Justice Robertson declares has been
cast upon the territorial judiciary that service
weighs nothing compared to political expe-
diency :
1t is fortunate, however, that the affair has been
delayed long enough to secure for Honolulu so
efficient a man as Wilbur {. Woodward, formerly
vi the department of public works. Mr.. Wood
ward is capable executive and man with a
reputation to sustain. He is one in whom the COM
munity may have full confidence. The fear
We have is that the same politics which made the
retention of Office by Nierra impossible will mill
tate against the full efficiency of Woodward, per-
hap, SO much so as to disgust him with the job
and the jobbers and force him to throw up the
position within few months. Then the position
will become opening Tor a spokesman and all
tht good that has been accomplished will be lost.
There is danger of this, if we read the signs
Alright 1t is up to the "ehciency' men of the
GARD and the good citizens Of the city to that
he new superintendent is not made the early vic
i'm of political nagging.
