mington and Philadelphia Traction
Company, and the receipt of state
ment of the traction company, and
the Wilmington Gas Company.
William l. Weldin, OF 52S East
Seventh street, in a communication
to the board protested against the
fare charged on the trolley cars, de-
claring that 1t is unjust to charge
such a rate when so many people are
out of employment.
Weldin also charged the failure
OF cars to run on scheduled time:
said some cars are shaky and dan
gerous. and complained that tracks
are not kept in proper condition.
The board referred the protest
TO the traction company.

SUNDAYS IND PLEASURE

Efforts to restrict amusemens on Sunday more closely through
amendatoy legislation relating to Sunday sports have failed in the legis-
lature. SO also has a proposal to give the movie houses more leewav
on the Sabbath.
On the mainland there have been conserted efforts, and such efforts
will be continued at the coming session of congress, to bring about a
return to what are usually called "od, blue laws In some states, too,
the ani-cgaret campaign which received such a setback in the war
days has been revived. Probably the proposed closer regulation of Sun
day amusements here is a sporadic offshoot of the mainland agitation.
And the ACCESSIBILITY of such legislation may well be questioned, especi-
ally at tins time when so many feel their personal rights are afronted
by the prohibition amendment. Persons, otherwise l~aw-abiding, refuse
absolutely to be deprived of alcoholic simulants and are thus accessories
after the fact in law breaking or law evading by the manufacturer or
seller. Further restrictions on personal liberty at this time cannot do
other than fan the flame of antagonism.
1t is far and away easier to educate morality than to legiIate it.
AT this time a majority of the people are seeking to enforce abstinence
by legislation. A very considerable minority is not yet educated to a-
cept such enforced abstinence, as a result can be seen the crime and
disorder that yet has to be cured, the open defiance of the illicit dis
thler and the bootegger and the comparative ease with which intoxi-
cants are secured. But if the "puritanical Sunday" be thrust upon
them, difficulties of enforcement would be even greater. ii the pres
ent day observance or nOn-observance of the Sabbath does not suit the
majority let them educate by example and in the homes and bring about
a Willingness for a different course OF conduct rather than to seek to
thrust it down the public Threats. Law officials have a task before them
to enforce prohibition and it is always well to finish one task before
another is undertaken.
Healthy sports, whether on Sunday or week day, are of physical
benefit. 10 turn the young away from them does not mean they would
seek the churches by any means. If not engaged in sports they might
be dong something far worse. It's an old saw that saws you can lead
a horse to the water but you cannot make him drink.

university extension work is to be carried on in Hawaii ni IS in some
parts of the mainland, such is not the case. As an outstanding example
the University of Wisconsin and Chicago University come to mind. The
work does not stop at a lecture or two. Several lectures are supple
mented by a correspondence course designed at the university and that
in turn by short intensive courses and well suggested reading.
1t is also possible that such intensive courses could be held during
the summer here on Maui, for it is generally admitted that no where
in Hawaii can a superior climate be found. There would be an especial
opportunity for teachers who desire to extend their studies during a
vacation period.
Securing the privileges to be found through university extension
efforts would seem to be a subject that may well be given the attention
of the women of Maui. 1t is said the University, recognizing the in
ability of numbers to come to it, seeks to come to them, merely awaits
a request. May it not be suggested that such requests could not come
from a better source than the Woman's Club with such request supple
mented by the Chamber of Commerce? Iii a subject worthy of some
consideration and if undertaken would make life more worth while for
those who seek to keep abreast of the times.

CONGRATULATIONS

Both houses of the legislature have passed the County Library
Law and since the Governor recommended such an act in his message
and his frequently expressed his wish to see such legislation his approval
may be taken for granted. 1t will mean much for Maui, it does al
ready, for it means an early realization of long cherished hopes. And
the thanks of the community will be due to Maui Woman's Club for
the bill that has passed is practically as drafted for that organization.
And SO 1t is a time for congratulations to be extended to the club.
It is a considerable achievement, perhaps the clubs greatest thus far,
Other subjects it advocates are still pending in the legislature. At home
it is making progress in community identifying and in other directions.
an otherwise undesirable way.
And so congratulations are the, order of the day not only for the
club but for Maui in its possession of such a live, up and at it organize
ton.
