GETTING DOWN TO BED ROCK

The Maui spirit of cooperation is working strong.
Just now it is the women who hold the center Of the stage Unless
all indications are misleading, their efforts are soon to result in some
striking improvements in social conditions on Maui.
In this connection the Amercanizaton citizenship committee of the
Maui Aid Association deserves much credit. Its Good Government
series of lectures is a thoroughly broad gagged idea. 1t shows vision.
And it is working hand in glove with the Maui women and with other
organizations which, from various angles are all attacking the same
general problem for the welfare of Maui.
The organization for this work seems admirable. The different
lines of endeavor seem to present an unbroken front without serious
duplication of or overlapping. The Maui WOmen's Club, the latest
unit in the field, and itself composed of admirably conceived working
units, seems to fill the remaining gaps in the line of ofense.
Such talks as that given on Monday by Superintendent Vaughan
MacCaughey, serve to supply the ammunition of ideas and are invahu-
able. Mr.. MacCaugheys suggestions and the discussion which follow
ed, undoubtedly cleared up a lot of things for many who heard him
The work to be done is becoming clear-cut and defined. 1t is indicating
plainly that the welfare OF the Maui of tomorrow depends upon the
welfare of Mauis children OF today. And this welfare is bound up
in the problems Of education, sanitation, dieeics and other factors hay
ing to do with correct living.
We are on the right track.

PICKED filters ASSIGNED
TO HAWAII

MINEOLA, Jan. 10-One four sec
ton air squadron, composed of IL
officers and $50 men, the pick of the
air service men here, left today for
Honolulu, to which post they have
been assigned for the mex two years.
The men were really hand picked
for the assignment, as their duties
will be exacting and the two years
will be spent in patrolling, observing
and mapping the aerial lanes of that
district.

THE PAPER EATERS

Mount Clemens [Mich.l Monitor.)
Four years ago print paper was sell
ing for 3 cents a pound, approximate
ly. Today print paper is Sa cents a
pound. 1t is likely to be 10 cents
early in the e year. All other kinds
Of paper have risen proportionately.
We have now an actual paper famine,
and the outlook is blue, indeed.
SO it is that we listen to fulmina-
tons against waste of paper.
The National Association of News
paper Publishers declares for economy
and a similar association out West
does likewise. All around there is a
swelling chorus and a pretty general
demand for conservation of paper.
The Chicago Tribune, for example,
cuts its daily issue down to 80 pages!
The paper famine is actual, not i'm
aginary, and there is a certain hope
leseness in the situation. The bot
tom and permanently controlling ac-
tor is the constantly diminishing
source of supply. You cannot cut off
100 acres of pulp wood and have it
left. Some great newspapers in
this country-great in point of avoirdu-
pois, at least-use the product of 100
acres or more every week. How can
such consumption go on with no re-
placement? A remedy might be found
in a new and different source of sup
ply, possibly in an annual crop of
some sort, and here is the greatest OPP
portunity of the day for American in
vestigators and scientists. Who so
discovers a new source of paper, YER
lily his name will go laundering down
the corridors of time.
However, a new supply is not the
only remedy. Were it not for the
foolishness and selfishness of men an
other remedy could be applied at
once. That remedy would be conser
walton OF the supplies we have. The
real and relative waste of paper is
astounding.
On our desk is the annual report of
the labor commissioner of Michigan.
1t is a volume of 700 pages, a mass of
worthless and unread details, that
could be reduced to so or 100 pages.
This thing is typical of the ~scandalous
waste of paper that the federal and
state governments are guilty of.
Thousands of tons of paper are an
nually wasted in such fO~olishness and
moral criminality. Furthermore the
mails are literally ("litterally" would
be a better spelling) burdened with
trash issued by a lot of cranks who
tell us how to be saved in government,
politics and religion. These n~uisances
should be abated. 1t might be well to
abate the several hundred publications
that are devoted to the lofty purpose
of destroying the American republic
and whose constant effort is the
spreading of the propaganda of trea-
son and ruin.
There is another type of MASTERS in
the weekly and monthly purveyors of
literary various and advertising.
Most conspicuous among them is the
Saturday Evening Post, with 1000, 900
circulation. The current issue of this
publication weighs q ounces, the
white paper cost of which is not less
han Is cents, which is sold to the re-
taller, probably, at 8 cents and to the
consumer at 4 to 5 cents. Here is a

SUPREME COURT DENIES
NEW JERSEY PIE

NEW PLEA
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Su-
preme Court of the United States has
denied permission to the New Jersey
Retail Liquor Dealers Association to
file original proceedings in that court
to test the constitutionality of the
Eighteenth Amendment, and to enjoin
it's enforcement by the New Jersey
courts. The court held it was without
jurisdiction to take such action.

What can be done with this? Well,
the advertising can be reduced one
half. The useless display, trash and
pictures, and inconsequential news"
can all be eliminated. This would re-
duce the Journal to IS pages, which
is "a great plenty. Garry this reduc-
ton through all the papers and the
paper famine would disappear for a
time. And we would have quality
rather than quantity.

Much ADO ABOUT NOTHING

At least a portion OF the Portuguese language press of the terri
tory is showing a tendency to hySteria because Superintendent Mac
Caughey CLASHES the children in the public schools according to race
and not according to nativity. They are all American, it says and should
be called such. That but 64 are 50 classified, A Setta says, rs a vile dis
elimination, undemocratic, and un-American."
1t is gratifying to get such good assurance that the Portuguese
element OF our population value their American status so thoroughly
AT the same time they have no reason to be ashamed of their ancestry.
Most certainly the only thing that Mr.. MacCaughey or any other friend
of the Islands desires to see is 100 percent Americanism, regardless of
the race n antecedents of those who make up the population. But
we cannot ignore the fact that there are a large number of elements
IN our population, and IN dealing with them the only practical way is to
classify them according to their parentage.
We strongly suspect that even the editor of A Setta occasionally
refers to "a Japanese boy" or "a Chinese girl" or "a Hawaiian man"
when the persons he refers to are, by his own requirement Americans
Maybe he even uses the term Portuguese" occasionally in connection
with a first class American citizen.

paper loss on each Post of not less
than II cents. They make it up in
advertising, and all such periodicals,
all of them loud professors of right
eousness and reform, are red in the
face demanding that the government
abolish the present more or less equit-
able zone system of postage charges
and carry trainloads of advertising for
them at an enormous loss. Can you
beat it?
A larger source of flamboyant waste
is found in the great dailies. They
boast much of their number of pages
and of their inches of advertising. 1t
is a base appeal. The best paper the
writer ever read was the New York
Sun, when Charles A. Dana was it's
editor and when it consisted of four
wonderful pages and sold for 2 cents.
That was an economically honest pa
per. In time the Sun had to get into
the game or be swamped by the deluge
of trash-pictures, huge type, and 9TH
er--of the Pulitzer and Hearst pub
locations. In the name of heaven
what is there worth while in these
avalanches of printed slops?
To be nor specific, let us take a
Friday copy of recent date of a rea-
sonably good paper, the Detroit Jour
nal. 1t consists of SO pages and
weighs not far from a pound. Rough
ly this issue may be analysed thus:

THE ISLAND ELECrRlc HEARING

The public utilities commission has postponed the date of the public
hearing on the Island Electric Co., troubles from Thursday, January
70 to Thursday, February II, because it will not be convenient for the
manager of the company to go to Honolulu at the time first set.
As the Maui News pointed out last week it is an imposition on all
w aIuku people to hold such a hearing in Honolulu instead of in Wal
Iuku. The Maui News has perhaps taken the lead during the past
several years in an effort to secure a better lighting and power service
for this community. Yet it will probably be impossible for it to be
represented at the time set fol. the hearing.
Such hearings should as a matter of course be held in the com
muniy where the utility does business.
kuhio says he will run for delegate again next fa11-that he wants
to fill out an even 20 years as the servant of Hawaii in the United
States congress.
Is it the desire to serve that moves him?
We wonder!
We have Just recalled that this is leap-year. Presumably however,
the girls have not forgotten the fact, and the results on the marriage
register may soon begin to show it.
Watch your step! The prohibition law with real teeth goes into
effect tomorrow.
Government Savings Stamps will make the New Year look brighter.

Young Man Probably Right When He
Said 1t Would Teach Him
a Lesson.

Years ago when I was teaching In
high school, we had considerable trou-
BILE with the students slamming the
outside doors, and we lectured them
often. 1t was my week for hall duty
when one noon a young man entered
the school building and banged the
door.
l was much provoked and said.
Young man, will you please 60 out
again and try and see if you cannot
close that door more quetlyT He
looked rather surprised and said, yes
ma'am," and did as 1 asked. 1 said,
"That was better"
He then inquired where he would
find one of our teachers. To my ur-
prise he was not a student as I
thought, but a friend making a call

would serve IS a good lesson.-Ex-

LAYS DOWNFALL
TO SMALL PAY
"Nise Kid" Confesses to Embez-
Element of $38, 900 in
New York.
GENIUS FOR DETAIL
Brokers Messenger, Aged 16, Says
Employers Put Temptation in
Way of Young Boys-He
Had No Girl.

New York.-Elias Tieman, aged 16,
self-confessed embezzler of more than
$4,000, was recently arrested in De
troit and brought back to this city.
The police have dubbed him the zone
wise kid" He has a genius for detail.
If his companion, Steve Ostovich. a
not harbored a desire to see his foster
parents in Detroit, the chances are the
zone wise kid would now be on his
way to Egypt, or some other oriental
country.
Tieman, a former messenger for q.
L. Prince company, New York bond
brokers, disappeared Sept. Is, with
$4,000 worth of Liberty bonds he was
carrying to a nearby bank. He had as
accomplices two former sailors, youths
little older than he.
The robbery had been planned
months before and every detail tend
ing to his escape had been arranged,
his photographs destroyed, belt buckles
with individual initials bought to cor
respond with the aliases for identifi-
cation in case of unexpected trouble,
and towns picked to hide in. Every
detail was rehearsed, studied and per
fected.
$12 Pay Caused Crime.
81 took the bonds" said the zone
wise kid" 1.-THE reason is simple. I
got $12 a week. They let me carry as
high as half a million dollars in nego-
table securities. What else would n
expect? Lots of boys in New York,
who work after school hours, get only
81 a week. and carry these fabulous
sums about with them, with no guard.
or check on their movements. /.
II have studied this thing carefully,
and it is my conviction that many
brokers in New York got their start
in some dishonest way. Some took the
method l used, others followed other
ways, betrayal of trust, or information,
