A FRIENDS TRIBUTE

The readers of your valued paper
Will learn with sorrow OF the death
of your Milton correspondent, Mr..
David A. Conner, who died suddenly
on Thursday, September 25. 1913.
Mr. Conner was born in 1912 in the
town of Denton, Md. In his childhood
his parents moved TO Frederick, Del.
When a young man ne came to Sus-
sex county and worked in a store of
the Hon. John B. DOrman. During
the Civil War he enlisted in the U. S.
Army. Afterwards he taught school,
his last school teaching being at
Blackwater, Del. He was married in
1864 to Mary E. King. From this
union survives him eight children.
He has been a correspondent to your
paper for more than forty years. His
letters, aside from local news, have
always been trite concerning the po-
litical and social events of the day.
A writer of considerable ability. who,
had he turned his talents in the direc-
tion of composition, might have made
his mark. OF d poetic mind. he saw
the beauty in nature-he learned from
nature-he wrote from nature Those
who have read the introductions OF
his letters may recall some of his
beautiful pictures.
We shall miss him not only from this
community, but especially by those
who live in distant parts and who
liked to read his letters concerning
the incidents of their home town.
He was buried in the NJ Z. ceme-
terry at Milton September 2S, 1919.
And now farewell for you and l must
part;
The ways divide, the night draws on
apace.

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

There would seem to be nothing unreasonable in President Will
sons request that the Senate delay consideration of the league of ma
tons matter until he arrives and has had opportunity of presenting ii
in person. The fact that the President was on his way home at the
time he made the request. and that the delay would therefor be but a
few days at most, makes the attitude of Senators Vardaman, Poindex-
ter, BoTah and others seem not only dsCOurteous but booish.
Mr.. Wilson has announced that he will appeal for support of the
league of nations to the American people direct. We believe he will
receive overwhelming endorsement. The element of our nation repre-
sented by the boorish members of the Senate, must be very small. 1t
is made up in part OF the same reacuonaries who opposed Americas
entry into the war on the grounds that it was none our business. Their
arguments are of the same order now-that the United States should
avoid entanging alliences, and the sacredness of the Monroe doctrine.
Both OF these policies have been outgrown. The United States
has a real part to play in the world of today and of the future. 1t can
TO longer take the part OF a hermit nation if it would, The world has
become too small.
AS for the Monroe doctrine, the league of nations will make it no
longer necessary, or at least will not endanger the principle for which
it stood. We can afford with equanimity see it reegated to the discard.
1t has served its purpose.
In appealing to the people, President Wilson is playing his strongest
card. 1t is the one that has made him the dominating figure at the peace
conference. AS long as he ar command the confidence of the masses
of the world in his integrity and the essential righteousness of his cause,
lie need fear little from the opposition of cabinets or parlaments.
This is something new in Europe. 1t is the voice of the people
demanding and being obeyed. 1t is the spirit of the present and the
hope of the future of the world. It is DEMOCRACY.

NEEDED-A DRIVE" FOR BETTER HEALTH

Fresh air and sunlight are the greatest health preservers and re-
storers in existence. Supplemented by sufficient good food and
adequate physical exercise they would come pretty near putting the
doctor in the poor house unless he could exc out an existence by
mending broken bones.
There ought to be plenty of both air and sun for everybody, here
in this Paradise of the Pacific, but strange to say there is not. For
the big majority of the people who live here these are luxuries that
they cannot afford.
Doctors, nurses, settlement workers-all in fact who come in con-
tact with the masses of the peope-know that this is so. They know
the irony of preaching fresh air to a man who lives with a big family
in the average plantation camp house, or in the tenements within his
ed condition. Their homes seldom can be or are properly ventilated.
Screening of these houses is the rare exception, with result that at
nightfan scores and tens of scores of persons seal themselves up in
almost alright rooms to get away from the mosquitoes, OF take refuge,
often three Or four together, beneath cose-mesh mosquito nets that
are almost if not fully as bad.
Breathing used-up air over and over again, is it any wonder that
boodless, washed-out people-men and women and little children with
sections? Is it surprising that a n epidemic under such conditions
spreads like the flame of a match in dry straw?
These things appeal of course, to the humanitarian, but they ought
TO and sooner or later must appeal even more strongly to practical bust
ness sense. For sound economics is builded upon sound health more
than past generations have realized.
We are beginning to see this. 1t is evidenced in various forms of
socaned welfare work; in the recent establishing by the sugar planters
in movements for better care of babies and children. Things are on
the right tack.
But we need now a strong, vigorous, intelEgenty directed cam
pngn of education to back all this up-to make it a compelling force
in the community. Many persons (and not all of the most ignorant
classes, eIher) have an inherent fear of fresh air, especially at night
or in case of sickness. Nothing under the SUI will change this except
education. And no homeopathic doses will do the trick.
The board of health ought to take this up, but little can be hoped
from that source, Rather must it depend upon the undetan action of
individuals and private organizations as heretofore. But slow or fast,
1t is coming. A better Hawaii than we have ever known lies just over
the rise.

THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE

Governor McCarthys first message to the Legislature is one to in
spre the confidence of the people of Hawaii in their chief executive.
1t is a sane and sensible document in the main. 1t has vision for the
future of the territory, but is at the same time conservative. 1t de-
mands no impossible or fantastic thing-if we omit his appeal for
statehood for Hawaii. Even this is sensible enough if we eliminate
any expectation of ever realizing it.
The Governor shows that he has a clear appreciation of Hawans
probable development in world Importance, and of the needs of the ter
ritory in consequence. He is not afraid to spend money to back up
his confidence.
Such novel things as free ports" have no terrors for him. and he
is more than willing to see the women have a vote.
AS a private citizen he did his part, some years ago, to block an
expected coup by the Rapid Transit company; but he is holding no
narrow-minded grudges on that account. 1t seems quite evident that
if the street car company can convince him that it now has a proposition
that insures Honolulu everything possible in way of service, it will get
his support. But he is from Missouri.
His demand for financial and physical fitness on the part of ap-
picants for homesteads, strikes us Is about the most practical idea
recently put forward.
His support of education is encouraging.
Perhaps the most noticeable commission in the message is any men
ton of the board of health. 1t can scarcely be an oversight since most
of the other territorial departments are touched upon and recommend
ed for financial support. 1t is possible that the new head of the health
board has not yet had time, owing to press of other business, to
make any suggestions, and that the Governor feels sort of hopeless
about it.
But on the whole, we believe, the message will be read through
out the territory with general approval. 1t is a refreshing change from
much of what we have had in the past.

How I. s. Navy
Built Mine Fence
Across North Sea
Wonderful Feat Of Mine Laying By
Which Hun Fleet Vas Sewed III
Rapidly Of Work Done Amazed
British Naval Authorities

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25-(Associ-
ated Press)-The American mining
squadron, which in conjunction with
the British navy, blazed a 230-mile
trail of mines across the North Sea
from the Orkneys to the oast Of
Norway has returned home with the
story of how this great achievement
in the campaign to throttle the Ger
man submarines was contributed.
Captain Reginald R. Balknap, COM
mander of this fleet of ten ships
two light cruisers and eight convert
ed merchant craft-graphically des-
cribed in a statement today the work
Of laying the 70,100 mines which
made up the so-called North Sea bar
rage and announced that at least
seventeen enemy submersibles were
known to have come to grief in at
tempting to pass through this field.
The American ships laid $3.50 Of
the total number of these American
invented and manufactured engines
Of destruction. The field averaged rs
miles in width and nowhere was it
less than Is miles across, an hours
run for a submarine. II a safe course
were sought underneath, several lines
of mines would be found there equally
deep. and if the submarines went
down even deeper, mines were ready
for them there, too, and one touch was
enough.
Before the barrier was half way
across" said Captain Belknap, "the
barrage began to yield results. Early
in July 1918, after the second excur-
sion of the mine layers and from time
to time reports would come Of sub
marines damaged OF disappearing in
that area. From the nature OF the
case it may never be known definite
ly how many actually did come to
grief there, but the best information
gives a probable ten before the mid
die of October, with a final total of
seventeen or more. In addition to
this toll the squadron should be
credited with two submarines lost in
the fields Of British mines laid by the
Baltimore off the Irish coast"
The American squadron arrived at
Inverness last May 26 ready to begin
operations and twelve days later
started on its first mine-planting EEK
cursion." On these trips which last.
ed from 40 to so hours, the squadron
was part of the British grand fleet,
and for protection against submarines
and raiding cruisers, it was accom-,
panied by British destroyers and bat.
tleships or battle cruisers.

said Captain Belknap, "the six battle
squadron was the support, consisting
OF four American battleships, com

Vaccinate the nation with thrift as a prophyactc against Dol
shevism' is the appeal of Governor James X. Lynch of the Federal
Reserve Bank in a letter sent yesterday to all bankers of the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District thanking them for their aid during the war

Wars are generally followed by pestlence," wrote Governor
Lynch. Spanish influenza, starting in Europe, ragged a year before

There is another pestnence raging in Europe which is a menace

Russia by the throat. Anarchy sits on the throne with a bloody sword
in one hand and a flaming torch in the other. This disease is also
working westward. Already it is knocking at our doors. No quaran-

us vaccnate the whole nation with thrift.
at is fundamental that no man will seek to overthrow the govern
