SUCCESS
?. z NeD0WI1L Ovoar A. ~

Some people measure q mans sue
cess IN this life by the size of his
bank account. In fact, it may be
safe to state that . majority Of the
people in this little old world do this.
There are some, however, who
Judge a mans success in life far dif-
fefently. For instance, the other day
two men in Julesburg were talking.
A third man. frail and slightly stoop-
ed. approached. As he passed the
two men he paused, extended his
hand cordially. while q smile lighted
his eye. His voice was full Of cheer
and kindness. though the day was
fearfully warm and not conducive to
cheer. and he had met reverses in
business that ordinarily robs a man
Of all kindliness. Then he turned on
his way, still smiling.
The two men followed him thought
fully with their eyes. Then finally
one said: "That is the most success
full man I've ever had the honor of
knowing" The other looked slight
ly surprised. II mean it. He has
had everything in the world to pull
him down, but he won't give up. He
has had to fight every inch Of his
way. though you never hear one
word Of hard luck from him. Instead
it's always a smile and . cheering
word for the other fellow. And he
is the best husband and father in
the world, as well. Now that's what
I call successful. To be able to meet
Fate with smile, hold out the help
ing hand, and keep fighting"
The latter way is far the best way
to Judge a mans success, for you
then judge him as he will finally be
judged. Money and what money
buys cannot be hauled with you when
you depart this world, but deeds pro-
NOTED by kind heart will turn into
great treasure when the Judgment
Day is faced.

"CRACKED HEADS"

Matters have been drifting towards
a race riot in the National Capital
for long time. The proximity to
Virginia. where the old Jim Grow"
laws are still in force, may have had
something to do with it; for the diff
ference in the freedom Of movements
of the colored people on the Wash
ington side of the Potomac il always
the source of comment. The colored
people are "ruffled" by the restric-
tions placed upon them in Virginia;
and a portion Of the Capital residents
particularly the whites from the
South, find no end Of fault because
the "color line" is not drawn on the
street cars and in many public places
where the negroes mingle with the
whites.
During the war the negroes acquir-
ed q good deal Of prosperity, and
some Of them bought automobiles and
made a considerable show Of their
new riches. At about the same time
.bootlegging" became big industry
among the colored people, and great
quantities Of bad liquor were stored
among them. II needed only . half
dozen assaults upon white women,
and the failure of the police to To-
cate the guilty brutes. to touch off
the torch.
The result was that crowd of SOL
diers, sailors and marines-most OF
whom were discharged from service
spent a pleasant evening "smashing
niggers." Hundreds Of young boys
some not more than seventeen years
of age, were among the white riot
ers who were locked up. At first
these youngsters seemed to think
that the serious business in which
they were engaged was as much fun
as Chasing the cows" The colored
people were evidently well prepared
for the fray, and Cracked heads
multiplied in numbers on white and
black shoulders, and in the spilling
Of blood from the assaults Of COM
batants.
As some of the fighting occurred
within a block Of the White House
grounds, it is evident that goot
many people in the Capital do no'
believe that the treaty Of peace wa
made to affect fighting between tn
whites and blacks.
These race riots were very foolisl
performances, but they likewise turn
ed out to be very serious. They hav'
stirred up a bitterness between tn
whites and blacks which will hav'
lasting and unpleasant consequences

STOP ILLICIT BOOZE MAKING NOW

1t is not characteristic of Uncle Sam to see his laws fagrantly
violated without taking some drastic steps to stop it; but this is actu-
ally the situation in Hawaii today as relates to liquor law violations.
The trouble lies in the infeXibiiy of the machinery of the depart
nent of justice which limits the U. S. marshal in Hawaii to three de-
Puhes, and provides no money for hiring other officers to run down
criminals and enforce the law in an emergency.
1t looks as though the Islands are doomed to undergo a period of
tie same kind of lawlessness as has been experienced in various states
when prohibition first went into effect. A combination of defiance and
ignorance evidently intends to beat the law if it can, and from all
evidence is thus far succeeding. 1t is known positively that a lot OF
Illicit booze is being made here on Maui, as is doubtless true on the
other islands, and that preparations are being made for making both
termented and distilled liquors IN a still larger scale.
The police have their hands more or less tied because of the fact
that the Sheppard Act permits having liquor in ones possession. and an
illegal arrest on suspicion renders the officer making ii liable for dam
ages.
But dscouraging moonshiners is a recognized work of the federal
government. 1t should be so considered here. If the federal officials
here cannot get needed support from Washington it would be in order
10 see II the territory has not some influence to that end in the national
capital.
Uncle Sam will of course break up moonshining when he gets
around to 1t, but the time to break it up is right at the start. We don
want to see a lot OF ignorant law breakers punished a year from now
who would not have become law breakers if the new tabu we're proper
y impressed at the present time.

Il FISH HATCHERY FOR HAU,AH

Senator John Wise is reported to have in mind a plan to provide
for a territorial fish hatchery to replenish the supply of food fishes in
Island waters. The idea of a fish hatchery is excellent but there is
no good reason why the territory should undertake such an establish
ment if our Uncle Samuel can be persuaded to do it for us.
The United States government, through its bureau of fisheries OF
the department of commerce, has been engaged in the fish propagatng
business for many years. Through numerous hatcheries scattered
throughout the country it is constantly stocking the inland streams and
lakes, and the seas with food and game fishes. Anyone who has a
stocking it of whatever kind he selects. by simply asking the nearest
government hatchery. The cost is nothing, or at most merely nominal
Besides, the government experts are ready and anxious to suggest and
advise concerning all details.
The bureau of fisheries was keerlv interested in Hawaiis fish
problems some years ago when George M. Bowers, the then commits
siOner of fisheries visited the Islands. Had Mr.. Bowers remained in
office it is more than likely that Hawaii would now have a fish hatchery
already established. But a change of administration lost him his Job
and another commissioner is now in his plaCe-a man who probably
has never even thought of Hawaii i'll connection with his work.
The coming legislature might well bring the matter to his atten-
ton. Delegate Kuhio is also in a position to help the matter along
very materially.
The problem of increasing the fish supply for Hawaii :s>of suff-
Gent Importance to warrant all reasonable efforts being made towards
solving it.

WHAT OUR SOLDIERS ARE BRINGING BACK

Maui is glad to welcome her soldier boys home again. She is
proud of them-of their improved appearance and of their good record.
They have made good.
That their service was all within the territory and not upon the
bloody fields of France and Belgium makes no difference. They show
cd their readiness for anything that might be asked of them in line of
duty. No one doubts that they would have made good at sterner war
fare had they had the chance. 1t is the spirt-the will to do-that
counts.
And these boys should be able to make good in civil life in greater
measure for their military experience. They have been broadened
physically and mentally. AS employees they should be of more value
than they were a year ago.
This fact suggests if it may not be ~possbe-if it be not the duty
of the empoyers-to keep alive and develop that wonderful but in
tangible thing which these young men have gained, which goes un 'r
the name of morale.
They have lived Clearly, they must have learned valuable lessons
in personal cleanliness and hygiene, things that were largely novel to
many of them. And they have learned a lot about teamwork and what
be accomplished when there is enthusiasm as a motive power to
well directed concerted endeavor.
If we can realize on all this and not lose it in a few months in dull
routine and surroundings Maui will be greatly the gamer from the war
from this standpoint alone. The thing is worth a lot of thought.

OFFICIAL GRATING FROM NEWSPAPERS

William Z, McAdoo quit as secretary of the treasury because the
JOB didn't pay enough money. 1t was a cold question of business
not OF patr1Ousm-albet the nation is far from being out of the hnanci-
al woods into which Mr. McAdoo led us under plea of war necessity.
He should worry, Let the new man worry about rmscrambing rail
reads and other such small matters.
But the ending Of the war did not stop Mr.. McAdoos flooding
me newspaper offices of the country with burning appeals in the name
OF patriotism, for a general continuance of free publicity for various
projects which the treasury department was trying to put across. And
the joke OF it is he will probably be the last to see any inconsistency in
his course.

There will be a lot of people in the United States who will wonder
about that pension of $4,000 which the Congress has voted to Mrs.
Roosevelt If the services which the late Theodore Roosevelt rendered
o the nation could be reduced to terms of dollars and cents the stipend
being offered to Mrs. Roosevelt would doubtless be ridicuously in
adequate as a compensation. If it is intended simply as a token, it
might IN much better taste have taken some other form. Col Roose-
welt left a fortune of abouthalf a million. 1t can scarcely be that his
widow actually needs the extra $4,000.

FAIR PAY FOR TEACHERS

Just why the Maui teachers seemed to think it necessary to reduce
their demand for salary increase from 50 to 1913 percent is not very
clear. They did it because the Honolulu teachers had only asked for
the lower amount, which is about a S much of a reason as a flock OF
sheep have for following the pet lamb over the ste.
A 81 percent increase over the present salary schedule would be
none too much if ae are to expect to haze really competent teachers IN
our schools. The fact that the teachers have asked for less might be
construed that they do not consider themselves worth more.
The fact that the legislature may not give them all that first class
teachers should have, should not have deferred them from asking for
exactly what they considered their services worth.
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1919-01-31

why should the territory have the power to say how much Ho-
nolulu can spend to build roads or to expand the water system, or to
make other necessary improvements? That il, a privilege that is vest
ed in the local unit of government affected, under the principle of self
government Star Bulletin.
Very true. Also why should Honolulu have the power to say how
much Maui, or Hawaii, or Kauai can spend on their own improve
ments? Yet that is all there is back of Honolulus insistence on having
d reapportionment of representation in the legislature. If she can get
a majority in the law making body she can and will crack the whip
as absolute dictator to all the rest of the territory.
