Shortly before midnight one night q one-time
Washington newspaper correspondent mot MI
Burleson, Of Texas, on the streets OF Berlin.
They greeted each other cordially and some
thing like this dialogue occurred:
why Postmaster General. what are you
doing up at this hour Of the night?"
This is not late" said Burleson to the'news-
paper man.

Flows that?" asked Burleson
"Wen," said the newspaper man, when you
were Postmaster General called up your home
many night around and 10 o'clock and was
informed that you had retired-that you observed
your Texas farm habits and got to bed early

of the Vice President 1t a brilliant affair,
attended by hundreds of high-ups.
Everybody shook hands with the Senator
and Mrs. King and then with the Vice Presi-

struck up in the big ballroom, and while we
staid folks took seats raised platforms along
the walls the fat old men began to dance with
the thin old women, and the young men fox
trotted with the girls.
"There not too much jazz in the music
but 1t sure stirring fuss; and the fox.trot
itself was graceful enough though 1t was sure
funny to those fat old bucks trying to keen
time with the bandmaster and the first fiddles.
I asked Senator Trammell to take my grand

The One Who
Holds On

~ HE greatest men in the world
have not been without re-
verses. But they have come
up again, strengthened by the
struggle.
Take General Grant, for one
striking instance. He was a dis
NAL failure for half his life. But
he never gave up his high ideals
or his efforts to attain them.
When the crucial time came he
was ready for it. His opportunity
had been created within him.
At the close of the first day of
the battle of Shiloh, a day of Sc
we're Union reverses, General
Grant received from his much
discouraged chief of staff, Nc
Pherson, the report: "Things
look bad, General. We have lost
half our artillery and third of
the infantry. Our line is broken
and we are pushed back almost
to the river. What can we dot"
"Reform the ines," said Grant,
"and attack at daybreak. And
won't they be surprisedl"
Surprised indeed they we're,
and routed before 9 o'clock.
Even the strongest hearted
must fail, not only once, but
again and again. But what of
thati Life is a campaign, not
a single days battle.
Everyone who succeeds must
meet such crises, and must avert
disaster by a prompt reforming
of lines and surprising early at
tack.
There is no real defeat for the
one who holds on courageously
in right cause.
The only permanent and hope
less failure comes through a
! soul-surrender. ,

In your home business vicinity there may be any
children of poor parents kddes who denied the good
and wholesome things of life because their parents can
not afford them.
If you live in such neghborhood you are more fortu
nate than most of who would not have to find
girls and boys growing in surroundings which cultivate
bad taste when different environment would bring ont
the really good which is latent.
Why not single out some child of this Sort more than
you afford it, and try to provide some eleyang
influence.
If child grows ignorant of any other mode of living
than he finds himself he has ideals no high stand
ards upon which to build as he grows.
His standard is no higher than he has or knows
If every boy girl, man woman would become per-

Good Work,
Jud e.!

ls an axiom among SCuuentS
Of history that when crisis
arises in the affairs of men
it always produces a genius who
can grapple with it and overcome
it.
We nominate to the Hall of
Fame Judge Hugh Means, Of
Lawrence, Kan. He seen a
crisis and he done his duty.
The trustees Of high school
in that town expelled two girls
because their skirts failed to ex-
tend three inches below their
knees. These trustees had ar
bitrarily fixed three inches as the
standard by which feminine
modesty was to be measured. IF
a girls skirt hung only two and
fifteen-sixteenths inches below her
knees, she was outlawed as a
brazen hussy. AS far as the
records show, no allowance was
made for knock-knees or bow-legs,
or for shrinkage in the laundry.
1t is easy to realize the far
reaching and appalling effect Of
such a decision if it were allowed
to pass unquestioned. Women in
Paris and London and Petrograd
and Czechoslovakia might have
found their reputation ruined be-
cause of the adoption Of the
metric system, which could easily
bring about a fractional difference
in the length of a skirt.
But Judge Means came to the
rescue. Before the world had a
chance to, grasp the disastrous
effect Of this harsh decision, he
nullified it by ordering the
trustees to reinstate the two girls
and not to attempt to regulate
the length Of skirts by inches.
Thus, slowly, does civilization
advance. One obstacle after an
other must be overcome. And
now, having this weighty matter
off their chest, the school trustees
Of Lawrence, Kan, are free to
instill a little intelligence into
the minds of their pupils.
That is, if they have any to
instill.

Hands Out of
Our Pockets

~ said than done. In this class
must be placed the sugges-
ton Of Secretary Tregoe Of the
National Association Of Credit
Men of America that the United
States cancel the war debts Of
such creditor nations as are will
ing to "set their house in order"
Who could decide the right de-
gree of "orderi" Nations are,
or think they are, sovereign. This
means that they are quick to re-
sent anything savoring of out
side dictation. -
Reverse the situation. Imagine
as owing Great Britain large
sum. Imagine our finances de-
ranged and our business life far
more depressed than it is. Then
conceive Of Britain telling us that
II we shall take certain steps in
our internal affairs she will remit
the debt. :.
Would such a suggestion be
calculated to stimulate cordially
Of feelingi
It Is true that confidential COM
munications might pass between
tho nations carrying suggestions
Of this nature without exciting
popular feeling, but only so long
as they were kept secret.
Our Government, however, does
not find secrecy very feasible and
the idea of it is increasingly un-
popular.
Even though the preliminary
negotiations could be shrouded, a
time would come when consent of
the Congress would be needed.
That would spill the beans.
For, Of course, canceling these
debts would mean that Americans
would have to pay them. 1t
would mean taking an average of
more than $110 out Of the pocket
Of every man, woman and child
in this country.
With an overwhelming majority
of the people willing, the Con-
gress right now is reluctant to
appropriate q small fraction of
this sum to adjust the pay Of our
soldiers, who risked their lives
for us.
It would take a more powerful
argument than any we have seen
to persuade it to give twelve
thousand millions of American
money to foreign nations, espe-
cially those gorged with war
spoils and using every device to
cut in on our trade.
We wish to be neither stingy
nor callous. America has been
neither. But it is desirable that
discussions of the question of
canceling those war debts should
take due account Of the practical
facts.
When we saved the war for our
associates at cost under which
we still stagger, we did for Eu-
rope more than Europe ever did
for us and probably far more
than it would ever do. There
is a limit even to American gen.
erosity. At some point we must
think Of ourselves, also.

WHAT TO EAT

Recently there was run an editorial in the New York Herald
which was reproduced in the Honolulu Advertiser one morning this
week on the much moOted subject of light or heavy breakfasts for
the ordinary business man. The Herald took the view that it was
a matter for each person to determine a matter of taste or of habit.
Perhaps there will come a time when hard and fast rules will
be laid down as to what a person should eat, how much and when,
but when, II ever that time does come, it will take much of the
pleasure out of living.
What and when to eat is, as the Herald said, a matter of prefer
ence but also a matter of habit. Persons are frequently heard to
say they cannot eat heartily in the morning. Others insist they
are not ready for work until they have had a substantial breakfast.
Those who eat little could if they would become heavy morning
eaters. Perhaps those who start the day with a heavy meal might
IN time get accustomed to working ON a light breakfast.
Nature can usually be depended to do things about right. What
"A man Graves in food is probably what his system needs, unless he
has perverted his natural appetite through over indulgence. The
matter OF Galleries, vitamines and other similar subjects in connection
with diets are more or less fads.
Every man and every woman enjoyed a good meal of the viands
he or she likes and when hard and fast rules are laid down, it would
make man more of a machine to be regulated by others. Against
that the ego will rebel. There is an inherent indepence for which
every human being will fight.
Without doubt the would be regulators of diet mean well but
the world would be better contented without them and the average
man doesn't care a whOOp about the scientific proportions or con-
tents OF food provided he gets enough and it tastes good to him.

THE HULA QUESTION

1t is reported that the Mayor of Los Angeles did not like the
hula dancing that was a part of the program in the might on Maui 4"
staged for the entertainment of the visitors. Maui is sorry that he
saw anything during his stay that did not please him. On the other
hand the hula dancing did entertain a large proportion of the visit
ors and from the volume of applause it appeared to be popular with
the majority.
Just at present there is a movement in Honolulu, started by
Lorrin y. Thurston, owner of the Advertiser to relegate the hula
to the background and out of sight in public entertainments. He
insists that 1t Is vulgar and indecent and not typical of the best of
old Hawaii On the other hand it is insisted that many mainlanders
want to see the dance rendered here and would be disappointed if
they did not. Without doubt it could be and can be as vulgar and
indecent as Mr. ThurstOn insists it is.
Maui News is not taking up the cudgels with Mr.. Thurston
against the hula. Hawaiians themselves, however, like to see if. of
at least some of them do appear to consider It a perfectly appropri
ATE part OF an entertainment. Ones similar to that shown the Los
Angeles visitors have been shown on Maui within the past year on
several occasions and until now there has been no public criticism
OF 1t offered. 1t is prObable. that had not the subject of grass skirts
and hulaS been precipiated in Honolulu just before the arrival of
the visitors, there would have been no open criticism now.
Two boys and one woman danced the hula that Mayor Cryer
is reported to have objected to. Probably the majority of those
who attended the entertainment, kamaainas and malahinis enjoyed
1t and considered it appropriate for the place it was given on the
program.
Mr. ThulStOn admits that the dance was commonly danced dur
ing the reign of kalakaua. The entertainment was intended to de-
pt "Old Maui, " the visitors could see for themselves the Maui of
today. Costumes, staging and action were all descriptive of other
days IN which the hula was a source of entertainment. Hence the
criticism against the Maui entertainment appears to be hardly called

LOOKS LIKE WISE

From expressions heard on Maui and in Honolulu John Wise
will be the Republican nominee for delegate to congress after the
coming primary election and will be sent to Washington as a result
of the November election.
After the appearance of Lyman and King on Maui expressions
indicated that they had not cut into the Wise contingent to any
material extent if at ALL King in charging the raising of funds by
the friends Of Wise when the latter is still on his sick bed, tended
to estrange voters, especially the Iawaiians, from himself and to
rouse sympathy for Wise. Lyman is reported to be singing one
song in English and another in Hawaiian. The fact that he and his
heutenants mOnopolized so much time on the Kalaupapa trip did
not strengthen him with the legislative candidates who had expect
ed a chance to be heard at least.
In Honolulu it is regarded as a foregone conclusion that Wise
will carry that City and County. The sentiment is swinging more
towards him every day.
In the capital city charges of "slush funds for various candi
dates are being circulated freely and banded back and forth and
denied from the same platform.
1t is regarded as certain in Honolulu that president of the last
senate and Senator Bob Single will be returned but there is a good
deal of guess work as to who will be the others. 1t is one of the
Warmest political campaigns that Honolulu has seen in a long time
From Kauai the best authenticated reports point to Wise for
delegate, though the other two are making claims. In Hawaii
Lyman is expected to lead.
On the Garden Island the reelection of Senator Charley Rice
Is considered certain. On the Big Island there is a doubtful situation.
Desha is counted on by many to lead the ticket and some forecasts
are made that Russell will manage to get by.
This appears the summary of the delegate and senatorial situa-
ton. That of the house of representatives is far more complex.

days that displeased, why perhaps they were not so bad, immoral

MAUI CoUNTY's FAIR
(Honolulu Start ulletin)

Maui county, husting and widevisioned, sets aside three days
for its annual fair-October IL, Is and IA.
Past experience has taught the Maui people how to do things
with the minimum Of fuss and the maximum of results. They have
dug down in their pockets and built a splendid fair grounds-with
commodious buildings, big grandstand, racetrack, paddock; with
wide driveways, spacious lawns and a remarkably fine electric light
ing system.
With this fine physical plant, they are developing their annual
fairs substantially. Mau's livestock is a credit to the entire terri
tory. Its gardens rank high in variety and excellence of products.
Its pigs and chickens and ducks are high-grade.
Best of all, the growing generation of Maui citizens is learning
inefaceabe lessons of immense practical value. One of those lessons
is how Maui can produce most of its own necessary foodstufs. An
other is the lesson of community team work.
Honolulu businesses ought to be well represented as exhibitors
at the Maui fair.
