Advertisements are being run in a Ho paper by promoters of an
mter1sland airpane service. These enterprising gentlemen are urging
the public to buy stock IL the company, and are offering to accept hard
cash, Liberty Bonds, or War Savings Stamps in exchange for shares
at 81 each.
Now, there is nothing essentially wrong with such a proposition.
A1HPlanes can, and do carry passengers, and there is little doubt that
hy VIII ultimately come into commercial use in the Islands. More
over there is no evidence that the gentlemen back of the present propo-
Slnon are not absolutely sincere in the statements they make.
But when a man starts out to sell airplane transportation company
stock on basis OF a promise of handsome dividends within a very short
period he cannot escape the suspicion of being at least an-opimist!
lmS is not intended as a slam al what we have no means of know
ing may not be entirely bonahde and meritorious proposition. In
stead, 1t is intended simply to call attention to the fact that there has
been a strange quiet since the legislature has been in session on the
part of the Honolulu stock exchange, which a short time since was
presumed to be planning a "blue-sky law" for Hawaii. Nor has anyone
else, so far as we know, save the MAUI News, taken any interest in the
matter
In many states where it is believed to be the duty of the state to protect
ITS ignorant or uniformed citizens from depredatons of getrich-uuick
gentry such an enterprise as just mentioned would have been compelled
&c submit ITS plans to the searching scrutiny OF a board of experts and
be approved before 1t would be permitted to advertise or to otherwise
Gfer for sale its securities.
There IS nothing unfair in such law, and heaven only knows how
badly Hawaii needs something of the kind. We have come to be known
as truly the paradise ob the Pacific for the WaIingford type of finance
artists.

Goes not know OF one or more hard working school teacher or widow
Of slender means Who has been the victim, in more or less tragic
degree, of designing promoters.

Il DEFEAT THAT MEANS BETTER SUCCESS

It's perhaps a good thing that the woman suffrage bill was defeat
ed.
Had it gone through without opposition, as the enlightened men of
the Legislature were glad enough to see it do, there is strong evidence
that a great many women of the Islands would have taken it quite as
a matter of course, if not as a matter of ndiference-anothe baublc in
dulgent man had insisted upon thrusting into their fair hands, which
pleased their vanity but which they had little inclination to appreciate
or to use.
But there is no longer indifference. The rebuff by a bunch of
egotshcal males who could have the presumption to refuse to give
woman the vote, is too much. From now on there will be no turning
back. The women are thoroughly awake now and they will make
things so warm during the next two years that another legislature will
have no chance to put anything else across on them.
The pleblScite is a sort of last ditch. 1t really makes little differ
ence in the end whether this legislature passes the Jarrett bill or not.
And the idea of referring the matter to a pebiscite of both men and
women was of course but another Subterfuge. If this were put through
it would be declared illegal, because the Congress did not give the legis-
lature the right to refer it to a vote of the women. But the women will
see to 1t, whether they vote or not, that the men elected to the 1921
legislature are men who can be depended upon to keep their pledged
word. They did not bother themselves in the least over the election
OF the present legislature. 1t will not be so of the next.

JOHN BROWN, JR.,
and
LEVI L. JOSEPH.
These two are

There is a well defined rumor that Brown does not expect to come
back to Maui to make his future home-that he was offered a hench-
man job of some kind in Honolulu as a price for his vote against the
women. 1t is safe to say that in any event his political grave has been
Dug. The same may be said of Joseph.
Waiaholo, of Lahaina, saw the light just in time and in the final
ballot switched to the side which gives him hope for the future.
1t is reported that there was some perturbation in the mind of at
least one of the other Maui representatives before he decided to stand
by his pledge. Considerable pressure was brought to bear on all of
them, but they will doubtless have future cause to thank their political
stars that guided their tongues in the final rollcall.
Brown and Joseph will not be able to plead that they did not know
the sentiment of Maui women. In the last few days the women of
this Island, through a large number of letters, and otherwise, made
their position in the matter absolutely clear, They could not have mis-
understood. They simply preferred to grasp at the promises of the
corrupt gang of Oahu politicians who were engineering the fight against
the women for the sole reason that their past records are such that with
women voting they could never hope to retain their places.
And they won, but in winning they lost. For them the vote of
the House was not a vote of confidence, but a stay of execution.

MAKING THE TEACHERS JOB SAFE

A lot has been said recently about the annual contract system I'm
der which teachers in the territory have been employed during the past
few years. The teachers say it isn't fair.
But we hope this plan will be continued. The average man or
woman outside of government employees hold their positions on a
much less secure basis than a oneyear contract. Nobody worries much
about them-its a part of the game of life. Why should it be other
wise in the case of teacher?
A good teacher is not likely to lose her job as long as she desires
to hold it. AS for the other kind a year is certainly more than ample
for a community to put up with them.
We are raising teachers salaries to a decent basis. We ought to
continue to raise them to a point where we could command the very
best teaching talent in the country. And then our school department
ought to have a very free hand in getting this class in and the inefficient
class out.
1t should be remembered that our schools are not created to pro-
vide a living for men and women who cannot live otherwise. They
are the most vital and primary factor governing the future welfare of
the territory, and everything depends upon the kind of teachers in them
The children come first. We must not let our charitable instincts
confuse us to this alLimportant fact.

HOW MAUPS DELEGATION STOOD

There is some satisfaction in the fact that but two of Mauis rep
reSentatves in the House, in the final count, proved false to heir word
and to their partys pledge in regard to woman suffrage.
These two are
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1919-04-04

The Star Bulletin on Tuesday devoted a full column editorial to
argument against Senator Baldwin's bill designed to stop spltticket
voting at primary elections. 1t charactenzes the bill as a slap at civic
patriotism, and claims that it would be playing into the hands of pohtiCi-
ans by making it possible for them to control the tickets nominated.
1t isn't easy to see the point of all this. The primary election is
simply a means of nominating. Any citizen who is willing to pay the
nomination fee and can get Is voters to sign his nomination paper can
get his name on any ticket in the field. 1t is hard to understand how
professional politicians can crcumvent this or frame up any slate that
the voters in the real election would be bound by.
The objection to the law as it stands is that it gives politicians the
chance now to prevent good men of an opposing party from getting on
the ticket at all. TO call such tactics hard names and expect to eimn-
nate them by appealing to Civic patriotism as the Star-Bulein urges,
is about as practical a suggestion as the pacihsts plans for stopping the
war.
What we need is a real preventive of these abuses, and Senator
Padwins measure seems to US to fill the bill.

One of the bureau heads in Washington, in a form letter sent, to-
.gether with a lot of advertising matter labeled news to probably every
newspaper in the United States, says
None of these stories will be of more than 800 or 400 words. 1t
is believed they will be of great informative value to your readers, and
you will be rendering the Government a real service by their use"
Perhaps other business enterprises are appealed to to donate to
the government their stock in trade in this same manner, though Just
how the various federal departments make use of the flour and sugar
and drygOods and hardware thus called for in the name of patriotism
that fail to measure up to the government idea of patriotism?
The Utah state legislature has just enacted a law known as the
Amerlcanlzahon Act, providing for compulsory attendance at part time
schools of all adults in the state who are unable to read>or write the
English language. If the Hawaiian legislature tried such a thing it
would doubtless be instantly accused OF racial discrimination.
