ASKS PROTECTION FOR GAME
Hawaiian Fish and Game Association
Asserts That Condition on the
Islands Are Bad.


The latest application received by
the American Game Protective associa-
ton Tor club membership comes from
Hawaii. The Hawaiian Fish and
Game association has been formed by
q handful Of the sportsmen In the
territory who have realized that I'm.
less they take drastic steps the game
on the islands will soon be exter-
minated.
Bruce Cartwright, secretary Of the
Hawaiian association, writes that for
merly the islands were alive with
game, but due to poor law enforcement
and the lack of adequate protective
measures the condition is now serious.
The greater part of the population
are Orientals, and to teach them that
game must be protected will prove q
laborious task, he says.
The Chinese dove, Mongolian pleas
ant and California quail are the most
common upland game birds, although
formerly peacocks. turkeys and wild
chickens We're plentiful. Golden
plOver are very numerous during
migration. Ducks and other shore
birds also visit the islands.
The game animals In Hawaii con-
sist OF goats, sheep and deer. The
theory has been advanced-and found
the ear Of the lawmakers on the Is
lands-that deer are detrimental to
forests. 1t is asserted that they de-
stroy forests by eating the protective
covering from the roots Of the trees.

Approves Civil Service.

Commissioner Haynes would
gladly accept the civil service In
preference to making the prohibit
tion unit a pleasure ground for
political appointees.
One Of the purposes Of his re-
organization. which will be put
into active operation on January 1.
is to get rid of considerable polit.
ical deadwood on the burdened pay
rolls Of the prohibition office.
Even then Commissioner Haynes
will not accomplish his full pur.
pose. Too many influential Sena-
tors-yes, and Cabinet members
have friends in the enforcement
service.
But, with the cards apparently
stacked against him, Commissioner
Haynes doesn't look for sympathy.
nor does he indulge unduly In self.

no indication ef . waning power.

DROHIBITION, opening a year in the United
States faces uncertain future.
- The basis of this condition is the joculary hostile
attitude of countless Americans enacted law.
The prohibition law is not to be tested during 1923 by
tangible things but by the great force of public sentiment

This however, is desperate effort swing public opinion

Yet they not the most powerful enemies of prohibition
If teeth of the Volstead law extracted it will
be found that the most potent agents the supposed
friends of the prohibition unit in the prohibition unit and in

Commissioner Haynes has the thankless job in the
United States He is assaled from outside by the great
army of wets and "drizzy damps" and avowed trans

Not Haynes' Fault.

The situation in which the pro-
hibition unit finds itself is no fault
of Commissioner Haynes. and it
cannot be blamed upon his agents
and other subordinates. AS far as
the actual work Of the unit is con-
cerned, the job Is being done as
well as can be expected. remem.
bering that the prohibition unit is
allowed only ss,oOo.o 900 to throw a
force of thousands over the most
thickly settled nation in the Amer
lean continent for the purpose Of
stopping the age-old custom Of
drinking alcoholic liquors.
The prohibition crisis is charged
against the chosen leaders OF the
American people. Whether they
can lead the United States into the
land Of Mr.. Volstead's promise Is
the big problem which. 1928 must
decide.
Commissioners Haynes hopes to
heal the wounds by applying the
pruning knife to his force and by
denying privileges to many per-
sons who believe that unlawful
privileges are their just and in
alienable right.
II Commissioner Haynes pro.
gram works as he hopes It will,

sons who more than once have
shown themselves to be violators
of the Volstead law will be &C.

Now let us take a look at this
local situation, which soon will
prove to be the root of the

Of the truth.
No sooner had the Administra-
ton put its cards on the table
than the radical drys had their
knives out, declaring there was no
diminution In the effectiveness of
the dry law. whether in the actual
operation or in the minds of the
public. But these foolish gener.
alizations were thrown aside as ut

astounding and. to the Admins

SulliUan Takes Hand.

During the new year, Maj.
Daniel Sullivan, chief Of the
Washington police department,
will take an active part In pro.

Read has spoken with the mem.
bers of Major Sullivan's active
"vice squad" concerning the
plans of Commissioner Haynes
In regard to raids and other fea.
lures Of dry agents work. The
result Of these conferences will
be that newspaper accounts dur
ing 1929 will no longer read "the
raiders were Lieutenant Davis,
Sergeant McQuade and Private
Bauer Of the vice squad and
Revenue Agents Ruby and Fowl

left out Of this work entirely.

A very minor evil of Haynes
position is to listen to these
national legislators and reconcile
their views with the laws.
"How in the name of Vol

Haynes saying. "can man
enforce a law If the people who
make the law insist on having

fruitless. At one time. the city
was closely guarded and every
automobile was searched when II
crossed the District line. This
proved impracticable. especially
when the cases reached court, and
the various warrantless searches
were abandoned.

sure II is the right thing to say.
He has been given to under
