OUR ISLAND CONTEMPORARIES
V
A TRUCE TO HYPOCRISY1
It has been suggested thnt the warring European nations observe a truce
of a few days or a few weeks around Christmas. Hypocrisy!
The only Christian way for the "Christian" nations to observe Christ
mas is to end the war.
A truce would but rest and strengthen the belligerents for further
slaughter.
The idea of a Christmas trure among nations that are violating the
first law of Christ (Love one another) Is worse than the six-days-a-weck
grafter who goes to chinch on Sunday for the sake or appearances. Th"

WILCON AND WAR.
President Wilson Is getting many roasts because he doesn't declare war
on Mexico. American newspapers that are bewailing the precipitancy of
Kuiopean Towers In the Old World conflagration are nevertheless knocking
the ablest statesmtn the T'nlled States has had in well, in a great many
years. They are hitting him because he doesn't order troops into Mexico
and plunge this nation into several years of bloody conflict with an irres
ponsible swarm of half-baked barbarians who have no use for peace unless
it is in the grave.
With half the world at war, It is quite reasonable to suppose that a man
of sene at the head of the American government would endeavor to keep
his country out of the shambles.
The editorial pen-fighters are congesting the waste-basket. The Service.

WHADDYEMEAN HARD TIMES?
The Elks at their Lava Trail entertainment took in $4500 money, by
the way, which will remain in Honolulu.
Visiting baseball players corraled $."00 for the first three frames played
by them some of which money will stay here, while other has alrcadv
done a flit.
The producer of "Mistrfs Mary" took $1300 for her bit she nho took
the S. S. Ventura the following day.
Despite the fact that there is more competition in the amusement, line
in Honolulu at present than ever before, every iihow nppeara to be doing con
siderably better than a paying business.
And yet some people say times are hard in Honolulu! Tropic Topics

GOOD ROADS CONFERENCES.
The proposal of Superintendent ForbeR to have the road engineers of
the group get together for a conference is a good one. On the mainland
they think so much of conferences of this sort that they are made nation
wide, and one is to be held in the city of Chicago next month, at which
the engineers of every part of the country will be present. We heartily
endorse the suggestion of Mr. Forbes, and hope that the one confeience pro
posed may lead to a system of like conferences on the same important sub
ject by the road engineers of the Islands. Garden Island.

Over on Maul the citizens are gtting enough money together to go ahead
with the proposition of erecting a decent rest-house on the summit of Hnlea
kala. Half of the necessary amount was subscribed by delegates to the Third
Civic Convention which was held at Wailuku. The next thing needed on
Maul is a good road to the top of the big mountain. Hawaii Herald.

THE RELIGION THAT FAILED.
'Teace on Earth and Good Will to Men" is the old Christmas saying.
Does It not all seem as If the days for such farces as celebrating the birth
day of the gentle Jesus, the very personification of peace and good will,
should be dropped, once and for all? The horrible, bloody, ferocious strug
gle going on now in the cockpit of Europe, to many people, means the end
of Christianity. The very foundation of that religion has been destroyed
by those who were sworn to uphold it. "Turn the other cheek," oh, yes, that
was the creed of the gentle Nazarene of nearly 'two thousand years ago, but
. it is not of the cultured nations of today.
"A Merry Christmas," God- how can the men who started the whole
butchery ever allow their lips to form the words? Half Europe aflame with
war, millions of dead and dying, peaceful and prosperous towns destroyed
and the woeful prospects of just as much more ruin to be witnessed in the
future.
The proposition of establishing a truce during the days covering Christ
mas, seems to most people an absolute blasphemy and a suggestion that Is
simply a revolting farce. A holiday from butchering one's fellow man so as
to allow of a rest up in order that the butchery can be carried on with
greater ferocity the next day! Away with any such ideas. Let the murder
proceed and let it be a clean job without any mawkish sentiment regarding
the birthday of Him, who, if He still takes any interest in mankind, must
Bit aghast at the sights now being perpetrated in His name by those who
have in the past claimed Him as their Ally. Hawaii Herald.
8 8 8
THE ISLAND NAMES.
Why cannot the largest island in the Hawaiian group have a name all
its own? "Hawaii" as a name is confusing, as it is also the title of the whole
group. Hawaii Herald.
In this connection we would like to suggest a number of changes that
might be made with advantage. To begin at home, why not rename this is
land, the island of Hilo, instead of Hawaii? Similarly, Oahu should be Hono
lulu, as in one sense it now is. The island of Hawaii is legally simply the
city and county of Honolulu, and to a majority of mainlanders it is all Hono
lulu. The name Oahu should bo dropped.
Other plans of renaming are more complicated, but the present list of
names is most absurd. For example there is a Waimea on every island in the
group, just as there are several Konas and other recurring names which are
purvivals of olden times when districts and localities were named after their
geographical location. Most grown up people who are familiar with the is
lands know where the various districts and towns are, but how about the
school children, who have to waste time in learning geographies based upon
this oldtlme naming system? Hilo Tribune.

DOES CHARITY BEGIN AT HOME?
The Saturday Evening Post says:
"Will our business men send shiploads of flour abroad while their rei?h
bors have no bread?" Will me remember the children of Europ? at Christmas
and forget the children of our tenements?"
At last accounts, the Malihinl Christmas tree in Honolulu had been given
up for this year, Beliglan relief subscriptions having preference. It was about
the best thing in Honolulu's calendar. It brought out long lines of children,
of every race, getting their cheap little presents on the day celebrated in
honor of the birthday of Christ, every year more and more a showing of
Christian good will and charity and generosity; a pleasure to those who gave
for the big public tree and to those who managed it. Important it was also in
education of many youngsters concerning the meaning of the day. We do
not envy the task of the parents of the expectant tots of the tenements, In
explaining to them that they cannot have any present on Christmas here this
year, because Christiana are fighting each other in Europe. Hilo Tribune.

HILO AND THE BREAKWATER.
The Board of Trade took a somewhat Illogical attitude last Tuesday in
the matter of the investigation of the breakwater work. An investigation was
proposed because of many repeated reports that the contractor is attempting
to do the work in an impractiacl way. The enterprise being a public one, of
great importance, the board undertook to make an inquiry, and the contrac
tor very courteously responded with an invitation to give a representative of
the board every possible chance to visit the breakwater plant and report. The
board declined to name a representative, and it let the matter drop. ,
In expressing bis disinclination to act as the board's representative Presi
dent Metzger said that the contract was a private one as far as the contractor
was concerned, and that If the Hilo Board of Trade finally had occasion to

"J. S. S." of Pala may not get a
rich wife, but he is ortniniy gaining
enough press no.orlHy to make a

with envy. As an example here's
what Helen Dare, a well-known writei
says of "J. S. S." in the San Fran
Cisco Chronicle:
"There's one thing you can say in
mitigation (I was about to say "In dc
fence," when on second thought, I
found I couldn't carry It to that ex
treme) of the excessive moderness
of the modern young man, and that Is
that he certainly has the courage of
his progresslveness; he's not ashnm

however shameless they may be.
"As in the much-discussed case oi
his street car manners, and his
changed, unchivnlroua attitude to wo
men, he is open and above board; he
stands for what he does.
"If, indeed, he has degenerated
from the old-fashioned Ideal, he at
least makes no pretenses; he glories
In his degeneration.
"Time was when no young man
however eager he was to make such
an alliance would have confessed,
even under inquisitorial torture, that
he was deliberately seeking wealth
with a wife or possibly the other way
round. - .

man not only confessing it but blazon

final words: "Please copy."
Frankly Mercenary.
"He Is a frankly mercenary young
man who knows what he wants and
has no old-fashioned notions about
masculine pride and Independence to
restrain him from asking for it
Straightforward and explicit is his
'matrimonial want ad,' which he has
sent to the Chronicle from Hawaii;
and in It he addresses eligible heir
esses at large in this fashion:
" 'If you are already overburdened
with wealth, why should you marry a
rich husband? Give the poor devil a
chance. I am a young man of no
means whatsoever, battling away with
the hard-headed old world, getting but
slight commendation for my efforts to
help it along, yet feeling that mighty
hands of it ready to pinch my ribs If
I do not tend to business. I am tired
of being cramped and want a few
more roller-bearings in the machinery
of my affairs. Round dollars make
excellent ones. So I want to marry a
girl with a fortune. And I want it to
be of ample size, too, while I am
about it say $50,000 up to $1,000,000

" 'You American girls of means fall

heads now, and look across the peace
