Miss Ethel Howell To
Be Married On Coast

Considerable local interest attaches
to the announcement of the coming
marriage in Oakland of Miss Ethel
Howell, daughter of Hugh Howell, of
Waikiki, which is to take place next
month. Although Miss Howell has
spent most of her life on the Coast
with relatives and attending school,
she is pleasantly remembered by
many Maui folks. Mr.. Hugh Howell
expects to leave for the Coast the
next week to be present at the we'd
ding.
Following is from the Oakland Tri-
bune of April 20:
Mr.. and Mrs. Fletcher Ames of
Berkeley announce the engagement of
their niece, Miss Ethel Howell, daugh-
ter of Hugh Howell of Hawaii, TO
Robert Waldron Campbell, the alliance
to bring together two representative
families with many ramiications in
California and in the middle west.
Miss Howell is a member of the
1920 class at University of California,
majoring in landscape gardening choos
ing a profession that is constantly
widening in its scope, and in which
the brilliant young woman was deep
ly engrossed during her college career
establishing something of a reputa-
ton for her botanical research.
She was besides a conspicuous
figure in the English club, sharing in
the dramatic productions of her class
since her freshman year. Last year
she played a leading part in the
Partheneia.
Mr.. Campbell is the son of Mrs.
Marion Campbell of Mill valley and
nephew of the William Waldrons of
San FRANCISCO. He was a student at
Ann Arbor and at Princeton, taking
his degree from the Pennsylvania in
stitution.
Miss Howell is a niece of the John
Howells and the Llewellyn Haskells
of Berkeley, where the families have
made their homes for many years,
manifesting a fine spirit toward the
social and civic life of the town.
The betrothal is the denouement of
a high school friendship. The wed
ding will be a June affair, when the
new home will be established in Mill
valley.

Elk Liquor Dealers
May Get Money Back
Matter Will Be Up At Next Meeting
Of Supervisors = Some Counties
Have Related Unused License
Fees

1t now begins to look as though the
former liquor dealers of Maui were TO
get a refund of the unexpired amounts
Of their license fees paid on July !,
1918 but which they were able to use
less than 2 months as the Sheppard
prohibition act took effect on August
%, 1918. Six licensees thus took
their chances at the time-the Maui
Wine Co., j. M. Medeiros and Pioneer
Hotel Co., all wholesale licenses, for
which they paid $500 for the first 6
months. The Maui and Grand Hotels
each took out retail licenses payiIL
$3.50 apiece for the same; whilh the
K%aupakalua Wine & Liquor 40, was
only out IS for a n ,edcturer's
license. =
The supervisors at haoir session last
Friday instructed the clerk to have
the claims of the former liquor men
ready for action at next months meet
ing whe4sthe matter will be discuss
ed again. 1t is understood that, act
irI upon the advice of the attorney
general, and their county attorneys,
Oahu and Hawaii have already made
the refund asked. There has been
considerable opposition to this course
here, it being contended that there is
no provision for such rebate in the
law and that the dealers had no right
to expect such action when they asked
for their licenses.
The supervisors have granted Coun-
ty Auditor Charles Wilcox permission
to go to Honolulu at the county's ex.
pense for the purpose Of investigating
some of the modern methods in use
in the public Offices there.

SCHOOL DEPARTMENT HELPS
TO SPREAD DATA ON ISLANDS

HONOLULU, May 20-Americaniza-
ton through the medium of the pub
lie schools is rapidly gaining ground
throughout the country as the best
means for promulgating the ideals and
principles of America, and the depart;
ment of public instruction Of Hawaii
is receiving letters weekly asking as
to what steps aolng this line have
been taken here.
This week there has been received
a letter from the National Catholic
Welfare council, signed by John A.
Lapp, director of the department of
social action, in which the superinten-
dent of schools is asked to furnish
information in regard to what plans
the territorial department Of educa-
ton may have for assisting or pro-
noting the work of Americanization.
In answering this and other letters
it is necessary for the superintendent
of public instruction to outline the
unique situation here, showing that
while Hawaii has a school population
of 10000, nearly one half of the
students are in attendance OF foreign
language schools as well as the pub
lie institution of learning.
1t is through such inquiries, and the
manner or replies necessary, says the
superintendent, that much is done to-
ward acquainting continental United
States with the Americanization prob
lem in Hawaii and consequently bring
ing closer that time when the Federal
government will assist in the Ameri-
c%anization work here.

Ball Season Opens
With Much Promise
County Fair Association officials Give
First Game Proper Start-0f-La-
haina Defeats ASahis And Wacs
Win Close Game From Paia.

Baseball is again in the saddle on
Maui. The season opened last Sun.
day with two red-hot games, and if
the steam can be kept up there will
be no Excuse for interest falling off.
The 4 teams which form the league
this season appear to be pretty even
ly matched, which of course is much
to be desired. And if the play was a
trifle ragged in spots, and neither
game was by any mean free from
errors, it was none the less exciting
for that.
Another thing that promises to add
much to this seasons series is that
one of the regular teams in the league
is supplied from Lahaina. From the
fact that the Laos carried off their
first game from the heretofore difficult
psuhi aggregation is another good
omen for the season-it means that
there will be some real competition.
The results of last Sundays games
are: Lahainas, 8; Asahis, 6. Wal
luku Athletics, 4; Paia Athletics, 2.
EcIat Marks Opening
The season was opened with cere-
mony and a big crowd. The teams
formed a parade and marched down
to the grounds where they were given
a big ovation The ball was put in
play with +. f. baldwin, president of
the Maui County aFir e Racing As!c-
citation in the loX as pitcher, joaquin
Garcia, chairman of the athletic divi-
sion of the same organization balin |
the plate, and with Chairman Sam
Kalama handling the stick. But Sam
wasn't equal to the Baldwin style of
curves and famed ANONYMOUSLY
while the big crowd cheered. And
then the first game was on.
Aleong, the Lahaina pitcher, made
a good showing, striking out s men to
Axis (the Asahi pitcher) 5. Aki also
walked 5 men while Aleong put every
thing across the plate. He got two
errors chalked against him, by hitting
a batter and a wild heave TO 3rd.
The game was tied in the 9Th in
ming, but in the 18th and Sth innings
the west Maui gang got 5 runs, which
even a home run by Aki in the 9th
was unable TO offset except by 3 in
nings.
Paias Take The Count
The second game of the afternoon,
between the Wacs and the Paia Athle-
tics was a somewhat tighter exhibi-
ton of ball playing than the proceed
ing one. Robinson of Paia and Bill
: of Waikiki were old rivals on the
houS5 both having the game well in
hand but with Robinson perhaps a
trtfle the best of the argument. The
latter struck out 9 men while Bal sent
5 to the bench.
There were several pretty double
plays. both teams sharing in this re-
spect.

EDI TORIAL
DANISH FEAR.

4 In the present "hu" epidemic in this
and most other communities the worst
thing that people, who have as yet been
free from the attack, can do is to worry
and fear that the pesky little "fu bug
will soon catch them 1t is well-known
fact that people who are otherwise IN
good health, of robust constitution, and
who lead normal life, are perfectly i'm
mune from the attack Of this and all
other germs. 1t is only those whose
constitution is undermined and enfee-
b1ed by dissipation, overwork, under
nourishment, and mental strain, who
easily fall victims. And fear and worry
and related states of mind are among
the chief factors that weaken the body,
lower its power of resistance, and make
it ready prey for the troublesome bugs.
Contrarywse, fearless and cheerful
mind is the best tonic and the safest pro-
lection of the body against the disease
breeding little creatures.
Therefore, Danish fear from your
hearts and worry from your minds. For
get the bugs altogether as long as they
don't trouble you. Of course, do not
hug that other superstitution which
some Jewish people are now nominally
embracing (when they are sick they
send for the doctor, anyway that tells
you that there are no germs and no
sickness, no aches and no pains. You
know better, if you are not dead, or
paralyzed, or mentally incompetent.
You know how it feels when you pound
your thumb with a hammer, or sit on
the point of tack, or eat peck Of
green apples. You know that when
dog bites and cat scratches, and
tooth aches, the painful sensations are
quite real, and no foolish mumblings of
words by benevolent looking blandly-
smiling parties in skirts or trousers can
help any SO it is with the bugs and
microbes that modern science has dis
covered. They are quite real, and the
trouble they cause is real, too. But do
not for that reason go about in fear and
dread lest you be the next object of
their attack Forget their existence, go
about your work with a cheerful mind,

fact that "the fount of Judaism is ortho-
doxy, and its altar is the blood-reeking
altar of the temple of Jerusalem"
We fear that those who take this
stand in regard to religion thereby be-
tray their own lack of religious feeling.
1t is as if they said to us: Religion is
either bundle of superstitions, "wor-
Shipping God in primitive fashion" which
may mean lot of things, even worship
ing idols and ikons, or it is nothing.
Have your choice. Yet all our great
religious teachers from Moses ben Am
ram to Moses ben Maimon, not to
speak of other religious masters of man
kind, have taken the very opposite view.
AS to the "master-note of sincerity"
that rings forth from the orthodox as
sembly, where "the men sit downstairs
austere, patriarchia1," and which note
one misses Gin other assemblies where
sweeter harmonies are pea1ed forth in
more esthetic worship" we fear that the
writer of those beautiful phrases has
not attended synagog for some time.
We also fear that her acquaintance with
hazzonim, shammoshim, and other func-
tionaries of the synagog, is very slight,
too, which, by the way, is not at all to
her discredit. Austere and patriarchial
Jews are found everywhere but espe-
cially in the Orient, and on some can
vases of Rembrandt. The most patri-
archia1 looking Jew in this country,
whom we know, is Professor G. Deutsch
of Cincinnati, who has a keen sense of
humor, and is very unorthodox.

our midst has at last been heard from.
It has spoken e1oquently, epigrammatl-
ca11y and with a certain poetic fervor,
and all that thru the mouth of woman,
too. That makes it doubly interesting.
Mrs Samuel Rush represents GER
tain class of Jews and Jewesses in our
modern life to whom Judaism means
o1d-fashioned orthodoxy or nothing at
ALL Some of the most eloquent defend
ers of this idea whom we have known
have been men and women who were
themselves as far from orthodoxy in
their thinking and living as the most
radical reform rabbi. But that did not
matter to them Their position was and
is, that if you wish to be a religious
Jew you must be orthodox. We can
we'll imagine Christians of a similar type
saying that there is only one true Chris
tianity, and that is that of the Catholic
church. That is what induced such men
as John Henry (CardinaD Newman and
others of the famous group of Oxford
Tractarians, to embrace the faith of
Rome. Similarly we have heard clever
Jews approving1y repeat this epigram:
If you wish to "shmad" (apostatize),
then, "pravo slavni" (the Greek ortho-
dox church,; if you wish to "daven"
(pray), then, "nusach sphard" (the I'LL
a-orthodox rituaD.
Such position is both irreligious and
illogical. 1t runs counter to all that we
know about the human mind and the
history of humanity. To say that per-
son can be truly religious, and spiritu-

and conforms to not only to the essen
tails of religious faith but also to all
antiquated outworn, and now meaning
less customs and practices just because
the ignorant and superstitious do not
discriminate between these two ele-
ments of every orthodox religion, is to
libel both religion and the human mind.
No sensible and we1l-informed person
will deny that such modern, enlightened,
and very unorthodox men as Thomas
Carlyle, Emerson, Ruskin, Tolstoi were
truly religious and spiritually minded
men. And if this is true of Christians,
it is particularly true of Jews; for Juda-
ism means more than religious faith and
ritual 1t means Jewish loyalty to the
Jewish past, present, and future.
Now consider the history of religion
or of humanity. The greatest religious
masters were religious reformers who
broke with the orthodoxy of their times,
who ridiculed and condemned the things
that their ignorant and superstitious
contemporaries held sacred Not to go
foreign fields, take the case of the
prophets of ancient Israel, the greatest
virtuosi of religion the world has ever
seen. They could not find words strong,
biting, and bitter enough with which to
castigate the orthodoxy of the priests
and the people of that time. We sup
pose they had their clever critics in

There is a weekly paper, called The
Pathfinder, that is published in Wash
ington, D. c. In appearance it is like
the monthly magazines published by the
reinsurance fraternal orders. 1t car
ries the same kind of advertising, the
kind that very few other newspapers
and magazines solicit. It's editor, per-
haps peeved that reputable Jewish firms
don't patronize his advertising columns,
has two-page editorial in the issue of
January the 31st, under the heading "A1e
Jews to Rule the World?" 1t is con-
coction of all the 1ibe1s that have been
framed against the Jews by all the Jew
haters of the ages from Haman to
Austen Chamberlain. Since the paper
advertises itself as carrying "the gist
of the worlds news in nutshell" and
it's subscription price is only $100
year, it is probably intended to circulate
among the young people of our schools.
In fact it is from school boy that we
got the copy of the issue we refer to.
The venom of Jew-hatred is thus spread
among school children. This matter
should be looked into by the Bnai Birth,
or some other national Jewish organiza-
ton.

Hoover belongs, it may help some
