Just What's
/. A Poor COP
ToDo Here?

Honolulu, Dec. 12.--"I just can
not make my kimono behave" is
the latest at Waikiki.
After the Hawaiian legislature
passed the now famous bathing
sit bill" at its last session, maxi
ing it misdemeanor for persons
attired for the beach to appear up
on the public highway unless clad
also in an over garment "extend-
ing below the knees" the resi-
dents of the beach district re-
signedly obeyed the new mandate.
Then one day somebody forgot
and walked to the beach clad only
in bathing suit. No arrest fol-
lowed. The news spread, and 9TH
ers tried 1T. Still no arrests.
Then aquatic Honolulu said, in
effect, "Well obey the law in let
ter, but not In spirit" and pro-
creeded to stoll from home to the
beach with the required over gar
ment on--but unbuttoned and
fluttering lightly about in the
breeze!
But 1t was too good to last. |
Somebody with an over-developed
conscience went to police head
quarters and reported conditions,
attention to the fact that
charms partially revealed" are
The most alluring. An officer was
sent to Investigate and reported
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1921-12-12

that 1t was true, all of 1t. He was
sent back with Instructions to do
his duty--and the first offender
to cross his beat was a fit candi-
date for a Sennett feature! And
this was her reply to his warning:
"Certainly, Mr. Officer, intend
to obey the law-but you see l
simply can't make this kimono
behaved"
And the arm Of the law looked
and didn t blame the kimono
one bitl
Now what can the poor cops do
against that sort of thing?

The Other Side

To the Editor of The Republican:
Please give space for the following:
A debate was held January 2S at tho
C. NJ. E. church, corner Seventh street
and Jefferson The subject was: Res
solved that opportunities are greater in
Arizona for the negro than in any other
state in the union: affirmative, A. r
Smith and w. J. Jones; negative. Major
Jones and Clarence Lindsey.
Now | wish to say that we had
honest and fair men for judges and sc
was proven beyond doubt that Arr
IONA had no opportunities with Missis-
sippi. Now, here comes the Phoenix
Tribune of which Mr.. Smith is the edi-
tor, with an air of discomfort. / am
really glad that Mr. Smith published
only his side sof the argument as it is
better to lose with three judges than to
lose with all Phoenix.
Now it seems like Mr. Smith is NOS
satisfied and for that reason he is seek
ing publicity. Let me see for once
again If Arizona can win over Missis-
sippi. Arizona has no negro schools.
Mississippi has nine negro colleges.
Negroes do not work in the leading
! industries of Arizona but negroes pro-
/ duce over half of what is raised in
4 Mississippi. Negroes in Mississippi
have the Y. NJ. C. A, drug stores and
everything to make one contented. But
/ Arizona has not got anything along
! that line and will never have them
until it gets good schools and educates
your children. That is the foundation
of all getting.
| Mr.. Smith said in Arizona ono could
work 313 days a year. Well, that Is
pretty hard, for a man has not even
/ the opportunity to rest. Now In Mis-
sissippi the negro has more than In
Arizona and works less. Mr.. Smith
| said you could breathe good air In Arr
zona- Yes, you can do that in jail.
| He also said you had the opportunity
| to be a good Christian, caring for the
sick. Well, people get sick in Missis-
sippi but they can go TO a. nice sani-
tarium to be cared for by skilled ply
sicians.

IMMORTAL WORDS

Well we must take our hat off to
Gen. Charles G. Dawes. He handed one
OF these congressional investigating
committees a hot brick. If we We're
directing the education of our young,
ne would have every youngster in
school repeat as n daily exercise the
following words of General Dawes as
he turned on the undertaking congress
sional war investigating committee:
Il bitterly resent this effort to reflect
upon the entire army because some
poor devil Numbered in Switzerland.
You cannot put a biotch on the army.
What the hell did we go in for-to
steal money. It was not a Republican
or a Democratic war. 1t was an Amer
lean war. and yet as a rule these COM
mittees try to bring in partisan poif-
ties
The general certainly said much.
These congressional investigating
committees have been probing for a
year or more now. and to what benefit?
There have been disclosures of incom-
potency and in some cases graft. But
has anyone been found guilty and pun
ished? Years after these undertaking
politicians are dead and gone our chill
dyen and their children will be singing
the praises OF such men as General
Dawes, General Pershing. President
Wilson, Herbert Hoover, Charley

of others. Folks as a rule find IL so

Tn. Woman Juror ,:sr' and the Voter


IL There is. course, stronger reason why the
qualification for acting should be withheld

It the character that service is such that it often

OF their reputation for good citizenship But the
duties of the juror cannot be-so evaded. When the
