THE SPUR Y BRAKE or HuuIN PROGRESS

Human radicals test our patience. So do the naturally born con
servatives. The first are not satisfied with anything that the world
has vet accomplished. The second feel that, II anything, we nave
progressed too far or too fast.
But of course both are necessary. Without the radicals of Nari
Gus degrees we should make little progress along the road OF world
destiny. Yet without the conservatives to check momentum the social
machine would soon be wrecked in its mad career. The radicals are
the accelerator; the conservatives the brake.
But neither supplies any power or would be OF the least value IN
getting anywhere without the more or less inconsptcuous parts that go
to make up the rest of the social machine.
Honolulu. lust at present. is, having its own little turore over radl-
cal fulminauons, Of the "parlOr' type. And we hear the usual TRADES
Of abuse and solemn warnings against the dangers from the spread OF
these unorhodox doctrines; which will doubtless do the brake junction.
But the best antidote for any kind of ism is exposure to strong
sunlight. If it is really dangerous 1t will soon shrNeI up and die. II
it has wholesome characteristics it will thrive in the glare. Inc danger
comes from trying to keep the wld-eyed doctrines in the dark.
No man believes himself to be personally in danger OF beng con
taminated with Bolshevik or other red doctrines. 1t IS only tor the
less strong minded or less informed OF his fellows that he fears. And
in this every man is right. There is no danger that can come to any
normal, intelligent, properly educated and whoesomey environed hui
man being from any form OF doctrine that ever has been or can be
evolved from the human brain.
To the contrary, it were ridiculous to assert that no good can come
from any of the theories evolved in the radical mind. The fact that
a few such theories are based on vicious, criminal or mentally diseased
premises does not alter this fact. We must not forget that almost
every accepted theory Of science, religion or government has been first
advanced by a fanatics; and not a few of these fanatics have suffered
martyrdom for their radnaism. Jesus Christ is a conspicuous eN-
ample.
We all want to see the world progress-even the most conseya-
tive of us. 1t is simply a matter of difference Of opinion as to what
makes for progress. Some persons simply cannot imagine progress
have. in fact, no imagination at all. Others live mostly in an imaginary
world and their ideas for most part have no substantial basis. These
last are usually the pessmists who see the world going to the dogs be
cause it subbonly refuses to follow their unbridIed lead.
But in the meantime the world moves right along. Its progress
is a matter of education-educaho based upon experience and judici-
Gus experiment. 1t is a cropping forward into the unknown. We look
into the future from the reflection of the past and press forward un-
afraid. Alw we demand is that such light a S is available be not obscured.

Mai. Gen. Morton, in a letter to Secretary of War Baker opposing
the bill to require that none but citizen labor be employed on any gov
eminent construction work, has made about the strongest argument
pOsible-Why the bill should become a law. He says:
g. Citizen labor in the building trades is not Obtainable in these
islands in sufficient numbers to carry on the proposes construction pro-
gram.
THE establishment OF a aF sency on uainland would be
Shout the only measure left to the government il ~ event OF the pre-.
tossed legislation becoming a law and unless special inducements in
abe matter of housing, transportation and pay were offered, involving
u material increase in appropriations, the better class of artisans could
'oasbe induced to break up their homes and come to these islands
fditOnal transportation would probably be necessary to move work
Zen and their families from and to the mainland
What more convincing argument should the American Legion
want? Everything the General says is dead true. 1t puts it right up

An army officer speaks for eNpedienCy. He isn't thinking of Am

gets his work done is a secondary consideration. 1t makes no dit
eence to him, as an officer, whether the people here ire Ci-
I'll or not. His course is straight before him and he sees nothing else.
ysOf course General Morton probably does have very different per
h. opinions from the official ones he advocates: But Secretary of
WEAKER, in urging Congress to cut out the citizen labor clause of
