Kuhio For Prohibition,

THE ADVERTISER has received information
throwing an entirely new light upon the re-
cent cabled request by Kuhio 10 the senator's and
Representative back Of Hawaiian prohibition leg
islation that this be held up pending his return to
the Capital
The inference drawn from Kuhios reply. in the
failure of the Delegate to take anyone into his
confidence and in the knowledge of his previous
advocacy of home rule" was that he would OPP
pose any prohibition measure which did not pro-
vide for preliminary plebiscite by territorial
voters Such inference now know, en-
tirely wrong.
Kuhio has radically altered his views regarding
the necessity Of strict federal prohibition for the
Islands and is today on his way to Washington to
urge that congress pass a bone dry act and make
il Immediately effective. He is opposed now to
any suggestion of referring the matter to the local
voters either preliminary to the enforcement
of prohibition or as later condition of its
tnuance.
This position of the Delegate brings him
squarely on the side of The Advertiser in the
matter of prohibition and makes it practically a
certainty that there will be strict federal prohibit
ton in force in these Islands within few months
That we feel satisfaction over the conversion of
the Delegate is to put it mildly. 1t is likewise
great qualification to know that when Kuhio asked
to have pending legislation deferred until his ar
rival in Washington it was that he might be able
to law stricter in its terms than that pro-
posed and with all suggestion of referendum
.eliminated.

Confidence that the power Of King
Alcohol is to be quickly shaken from
the Territory of Hawaii is increased
by the above telegram which The Ad-
vertiser received yesterday from its
special correspondent in Washington.
With the introduction of "bone dry
bill in the senate and with the as
surance of the position which the Dele
gate will take on his arrival at the ma
tiOnal capital, the possibility of pro-
hibitiOn for Hawaii by congressional
legislation grew to a probability and a
practical certainty. The message from
the correspondent of The Advertiser
indicates the Territory may not have
to await the passage of the pending
bill but may yet secure prohibition by
proclamation. This could be follow
ed by federal prohibition by legisla
ton.
George NICK. Mcclellan, representing
the chamber of commerce at Washing
ton, has been working assiduously to
secure favorable action upon the re-
quest of the chamber, the Ad Club and
other organizations, for prohibition
for Oahu during the continuance of the
war and as a war measure. Hopes of
such action have had cold water thrown
upon them by the reports of adverse
opinions by the attorney general and by
General CrowdPr as to the right of the
President to take such action. The
message from Mr.. Walker makes it
appear that presidential action may
still be possible and the proclamation
may yet issue.
In Honolulu signs are not wanting
that the approach of prohibition is
recognized even by its opponents. One
of the large wholesale liquor houses has
within the past few days notified its
regular customers of sweeping reduc
tions in the price of nearly all of its
"wet goods" for a thirty day period.
1t is said by this concern that the
MONEY! arising from the increased sales,
which it is expected these reductions
will bring. is needed to meet large
payments of taxes. 1t is surmised that
to reduce stock before prohibition
comes may have much to do with, the
great reduction in prices.
The house mentioned is offering some
big cuts from the recent high prices
and these AFFECT home brewed beers as
well as other brands, wines and heavier
liquors. The reductions range, it is
said, from twenty to thirty-three per
cent.

The Judicial Nominations
NOTHING but satisfaction has been heard ex-

NJ OTHING but satisfaction has been heard ex-
~ pressed regarding the judicial promotions
for Hawaii announced yesterday by the President
The elevation OF Associate Justice Coke to the
position of chief justice grahes his large circles
OF friends and satisfies the rest Of the community,
and the same may truthfully be said of the eleva-
ton of Circuit Judge Kemp to the supreme bench
to succeed Chief Justice Coke as associate justice
We say chief justice, quite confident
chat the nomination will be speedily confirmed by
the senate
Honolulu will welcome back Judge Edings,
whom this city lent to Maui some years ago and
who in presiding over the second circuit, has
made good as jurist i'll a way that has grati6ed
every one Of has many friends on Oahu. Maui will
be oath to part witch Judge Edng,. That we
already have reason to know.
OF VI. Burr, nominated to succeed Judge
Edng> Maui, there appears to be little locally
known Mr. Burr may be Of excellent judicial
material For Maui'' sake we hope 50.

RUMAMAN
j. :: :. HELD UP IN. Japan
Man Refused Landing Here
Barred From Japan

Several weeks ago, R. H. Halsev, in
spector in charge of the United States
immigration station, held up three Ru-
manians travelling from ia pan to San
Francisco, and ordered them deported
to the Orient, but sent their cases on
to Washington for final disposition, his
decision being confirmed. The men
were turned back and sent to Japan.
The Tenyo Maru which arrived yes
terday brings the story that A. Feinz-
lit, one of the deported Rumanians, on
arriving back in Yokohama in January,
was refused landing there because he
had no visible means of support. He
had booked passage only to Yokohama,
and at the time the TenyO Maru sailed
from Japan the police authorities there
were awaiting instructions from Toxic.

Bridging the A tld11tic

"RRlDGE the Atlantic with ships was
- message recently brought to the National
Press Club at Washington from General Per-
shing.
Dark days must be expected from the subma-
rine campaign but may expect to see the death
OF the menace by August perhaps sooner the
British people were told by their first sea lord.
These. combined with tine expressed determina
ton of the administration to take coastwise ship
ping from the Pacific and the Atlantic and to cut
down imports fifty percent so that more ships
would be available for troop shipments, can only
, pressage the departure from the United States
for Europe OF the rest of the American contingent.
The big movement is soon to start.
Quietly and unostentatiouslyt and with sue
cess in evading the enemy which has been little
short or marvellous American forces have been
steadily moving across the Atlantic. They have
gone into training camps and have passed on out
of those camps to the front Meantime our Ma
;iona army has been undergoing its preliminary
training. 1t is evident these men now ready
for their further training in Europe and then to
enter the fray. The camps they occupy here will
soon be needed for the next Selective contingent
for the National Army to be drawn in the second
draft The time for departure is at hand.
(. The movement Of this great army across the
Atlantic is sure to mean self denial for the non
combatants. Not only will deprivations have to
vbe borne by the people OF tins country the people
of our Allies especially the British will be sub
jected to similar deprivations. The British public
has been told of this brought to expect it, urged
TO raise larger food supplies to meet the emer-
gency. 1t will mean shorter supplies for them.
With us it chiefly the denial Of luxuries
and of non-essentlas. They may actually suffer,
we shall experience some discomfort, little in
comparison to what our Allies will feel.
These troop movements will require not only
ships for transport but all available naval vessels
for conveys in order that far as possible dis
asters similar to that Of the Tuscania may be
avoided 1t will take the greatest care, the utmost
precaution to move this vast body of men, with
any degree OF safety and not always in case OF
accidents and attacks can it be hoped that there
would be such large lists OF saved as has been
THE fortunate phase OF the sin jng OF the trans
port.
Here in Hawaii our condition is not bad
Arrangements be made for the OF the
transpacifc liners to carry our passengers. There
IS no reason why this should not be done and why
The Islands should not in this way have larger
passenger serving shipping than ever before
There can be no reason why, especially at this
time our passengers should be forged to travel in
vessels of American registry Such vessels are
more necessary for the movement of troops than
passengers
Slow ships move our sugar, slow ships can
bring such freight as absolutely essential tC
our needs but the residents of Hawaii nei may
well prepare Immediately 70 do without many
things 'whirh they now think they require and tc
Athe use of which they have long been accustomed

DANGEROUS DOCTRINE

To the Labor Review, a weekly paper printed in Memphis,
will 60 the distinction and whatever glory attaches thereto, Of
being the first publication III this part of the country to openly
espouse the cause Of Bolshevism, 1t even makes the dire pre-
diction that "the surest way to turn America into a charnel
house is for the capitalist newspapers to go on telling lies
about the Bolsheviki in Europe" But the most alarming symp-
tom, as viewed by the Labor Review, was the conduct OF the
American soldiers and sailors who tore down the red flag Of
anarchy which the New York Boshevists raised above the
Stars and Stripes, 1t laments the fact that "the sacred uniform
Of American military forces should be dragged down into the
mire by a mob Of men trying to break up an orderly meeting
in a public hall" In the first place, the meeting was not or
derby, as indicated by the repeated arrests made by both city
and government authorities, and, in the second place, those sol
ders and sailors were not Of the capitaisic class, but were
young men drafted from the farm, the print shop, the office
and the store-young men who had seen Old Glory wave tt
~umphantly over the foes of democracy in Europe, and were not
in a temper to witness a performance in New York that they
had risked their lives to forever suppress upon the field OF bat
tie. The Labor Review is sounding a discordant if not a dan
gerous note in attempting to justify the Russian Bolshevsts,
for it must be remembered that the United States, the allies and
the decent Russians are waging a war against Bolshevism
somewhere along the Dvina river. Those American soldiers
are suffering hardships that make the trials OF the troops in
France look exceedingly tame, They are showed in Tor the win
ter, but when spring arrives there is a fair prospect that TIN.
happy Russia, with the help of her friends, will be relieved OF
at least one curse, that Of Bolshevism. The American people
are heart and soul with the boys encamped in the Arctic circle,
and there is no place in this country. either among laborers or
capitalists, for the man or the paper that gives aid and comfort
to the enemies Of the United States,
