They Should Worry When Hilo wanted a break water, hbo got it. When Maui wanted one, i-.h's got it. but. Kauai may not have one, because the Honolulu Harbor Hoard H.ayH hhe cannot.

It seems difficult, in some insUnceji, to make the foreign clement under nurA the 'lu'-stiori'. .Strange a it may seem, the grea'est difficulty i fwme tirnej; met when an interpreter i? em ployed. The interpreters no doubt translate the 'iuestior. properly, but par.y of the rn stj.c.ble over the mean ing of the word "exemption." .Some members of the board who are versed in ' pidgin English" which is no gen erally used h're. leucceed admirably In Imparting information and securing satisfactory answers. The Japanese with one accord re sent the implication contained in the 'question a.s to whether they have ever b-en in the calaboose. ' Naw," th'-;-say with some show- of f.rmr.'-:-. 'nev er been jail." Some of them heem to be the sole support of a surprising number of rel atives. Fathers, mothers, Kisters, broth ers, wife, uncles, aunts, all seem to be dependent upon one little man. And In loos.t easc-H, these dependents are in Japan, the I'hilipp.ne.-:, or in some oth er far di-.tant lasd. The House bill enrolling into the ser vice of the I.'riited States the military organizations of the Philippine Islands was; passed In the Senate on the 20th, and was: s ubse'iuently Higned by the President. Under this measure, the Philippine constabulary, the Philippine scouts, and all the recently organized Philippine militia, aggregating about 2'j.i.".'jli men. will be enrolled in the American army. Inasmuch as the Filipinos proved to be such remarkable fighters during the Spanish war, it would heem to be a wise move to impress a million or two of th'-m into service. Whether the United Stales could do that under the policy adopted In dealing with the Fil ipinos, we are not advised. Hut one difficulty with that scheme would be that the Filipinos as a people do not readily adapt themselves to the Amer ican method of fighting, and it would rc-'iuire considerable time to put thern in proper condition to go to the front in proper condition to go to the front. RESCUE THE PERISHING We have all heard of "stealing the livery of Heaven to serve the devil in," but there have been fewer in stances of the apt application of the term than in the case of one Dinah, a Hawaiian woman of Honolulu, who has been wearing a soldier's uniform, in order that she might parade around the Htrcets at night in the pursuit of her dishonorable business, without being held up by minions of the law. Hut why send such a woman to jail? It would be- far wiser to place her under the care and instruction of the Salvation Army Kescue Home, where she would receive motherly advice, kind treatment, and a chance to re form. The object of the law should be to uplift, not to cast down. The government probably has use for all of its aeroplanes, just at this time, but after the war, what is the matter with having the mails deliver ed between the various, islands by aeroplane? Nothing at all. With a high imwer' d machine, we could get mall from Honolulu- In less than un hour. This will be brought about with in a few years, and no one need be surprised If iome of those Honolulu girls drive some of the machines. The Honolulu papers seem to intimate that they can lly as high and as fast as anybody. Th'-ie is now a law against the wearing of an army uniform by civil ians. A kamaaina at Honolulu went iwlnging along King street 11 few day ago smoking a big cigar with the air of a i.lnjr. when a soldier Hiiddenly point ed a bayonet at him mid marched him nlf to heail(ii:u ters because he wore a shirt which i-eeiiied lo belong lo a Hiildier'n uniform. However, it prov ed to be another lextur". The citizen is now afraid to walk up King street wiili a pair of brown hIioch on, or 11 pair of leather leggings. The fact that John 'I'. Hums, who was 1'iirnn-i ly Consul (joncral In New York, together with a party of other prominent Mexicans, Including an Admiral and a (ieiieral, ant in Home lulu on their way to Japan has a very sinister appearance. If they nm not on Uu ii way to Japan with a view of plotting against the I'nitcd Slates, they ought to uie appearances for lihi I. Honolulu people are ulways holding up Hiimeboily. Why didn't they hold up that crowd?

Surely the Japanc-e would eip'.-tt an Ac.tr:- can to observe the laws of Japan as long hi he resiled there. The Los Angeles Time? says that a prohibition movement ii on foct in Hawaii; but that there will be no las'ir.g reform in Hawaii until there i something done for the ukulele habit, which, it think-, is terce. The Tines tae no ear for n.uiic. no eye for art. It is: never willing to give the laboring man a s'luare deai. and if it isn't giver, a draw-dowr.. it will always ifjutial It's a grouch and a slouch. It pretends to be P.epubii can. but published a Democratic i.ip-r on the sly. It kicks at every improve ment ui.less it has a f.r.ger in the pi'-. And its strongest editorial is the word "huh." A table from Washington announces thi-t Filipinos with their f.rst papers cannot claim exemption from the draft. That's a new one. A man is not a citizen until he has completed the legal process whereby he acquires that status. Every subject of a for eign country remains such until he becomes the subject of some other country. It is a well established prin ciple of law that a Hritish subject, for Instance, who has filed his first papers to become a citizen of the United States, is still a subject of Great britain. and subject to the orders of his sovereign. He is also entitled to the protection of the british flag. Wonder what bright man issued that order? The Honolulu Advertiser refers to the report which the Hawaiian- Am erican steamship company has just made to its stockholders, and calls attention to the special year-end dis bursement tfl the stockholders of ti-'j a share. With the six other special dividends, and the regular dividend of f 10, the Company paid to the htock holders during the past year, a total of 4'.'5. According to its own report, it had remaining in the treasury, aft-r having paid these dfcidends, cash se curities amounting to $10,Ou0.0O'j. That must be more than the Adver tiser made, for that paper says it leaves a very unpleasant impression. "HURTING BUSINESS" Here's a real good one from the Honolulu Star-bulletin: Some of Honolul's businessmen ap pear to believe that this agitation for a clean-up of vice "hurts business." Nineteen hundred years ago there was uttered a truth which constitutes one of the memorable sayings of all time: "What shall it profit a man though he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" A number of American writers have gained a national reputation by apt imitations of peculiarities of speech Indulged in by those who mj: not thoroughly conversant with the Eng lish language. The Honolulu Adver tiser Is publishing a series of letters which are both original and interest ing. They are couched in language such as a schoolboy, might use, but the writer is peculiarly ingenious in expression, and adds much to the gaiety of natione by the real humor and wisdom of ideas. The "Kakaako, Korrespondwnce" is a very interesting feature. German oflicials announce that woman nulTrage and kindred subjects should not be agitated during the war. Notwithstanding this, the question is pressing for a solution, and three na tional associations are openly cam paigning for votes in behalf of women. I low-ever, a ruler who has passively stood by and seen women murdered by the Turks, can hardly be expected to look with toleration upon any movement which would result in al lowing tho women to vote. He knows where he would go, if the women had their way. Legalized plural marriages, with wives adopting temporary husbands are being openly advocnted in Ger many. It would be dillicult for one to believe this, if we had not become accustomed to hearing worse things. Ill 1'aren the land, to hastening ills a a prey, when morality dies, und sin holds Kway. Major Harold M. Clark has been Hying all around und over Honolulu. It is said that hoiiii: of the married men and women in Honolulu want to lly. It Hceins to be a very exciting game. Still it is not the first time the Honolulu people have been up in Hi air. Haiku, on .Maul, Is the ilrst postollice on the islands to get a rural mail car rier. The route is about ten miles long. There will be no snow to inter fere with tho 'arrylng of the mail. A d'-mand has arisen for leather made from shark skin. Tin.. Iudimtry ought to result in the development of a new industry. Plenty of sharks iu Honolulu. Their hides ought to lie tanned. Tough enough. The Governor has issued a st.itft ment In which he says he does not consider that the Nawiliwili harbor project is dead. Neither do we. It is a vwry live subject. ' i .9 m. '! m Sir.-. Kidd. hi, Jrub drummer boy. j .".ir.ed th'- br.'i'h army early In the j rame.

Mirh. he aw no recourse except to surrender. He was given the third , degree by his captors, who threatened him with dire results unless he would j reveal the names of those who had sheltered him. "No. gentlemen, I r.ever gr, back on my friends." he re- piled "Do what you please wi'h me. but I will never reveal the Identity of those who sheltered me." He was there- j upon sentenced to ten years imprison- mer.t He took his sentence without a j whimper. Here's hoping the nervy ' lad will be released long before bis set-tence expires. Australia must be pretty well up to date She is now planning for the further development ''' th! agricultur al rc-.-ourc-s af that country after the war shall have ended. To that end the government has sent out an agent E. P. Richardson, who is agricultural superintendent of the Victoria depart ment of agriculture, on a six-months' tour of the Unit'-d States, with a view of obtaining information regarding the newest and latest methods. Hawaii could well afford to do likewise. Some practical agriculturist, with initiative, should be sent through the farming sections of the states, and Invested with authority to introduce newer and better methods in Hawaii. He should also be authorized to banish from the land every pessimist who interfered with plans for a better Hawaii. For when a man comes from the Greater East with a little knowledge in his head, the f.rst thing he hears in Ha waii is: "It can't be done." The Honolulu Star-bulletin has in vented a new word. It says: "The man who talk prohibition on the street, and 'pu'.-s one across' at home, may be said to be practising camel Rage." A camel, by the way, is an animal which can drink enough in one day to last seven. We hope there arc none of those in Honolulu, which is a very dry, moral town. Some of the married men who have been in the trenches twenty years, are hoping that after the war is over, the good wife will be in sufficient prac tise so she can sew a shirt, knit a scarf, or mend a pair of brecehe for the man she boards with. Sister Su sie might sew a silken shirt for her husband, once in a while. A Maui paper seems to think that it is all right for a public official to get drunk, just so he doesn't "get drunk publicly." There's a vast difference, you see. 'twixt tweedledum and twte dledee. Territorial Fair A. Hebbard Case, who is Fair Com missioner for Kauai, has received blue print drawings of the grounds which will be devoted to the uses of the fair, which is seheduled to take place in Honolulu June 11th to 15th, inclusive. He invites any one who desires to make suggestions or ask questions, to call upon him. The Territory voted the Bum of $6,1)00 last session, for fair purposes, to be used as a revolving fund, to be returned to the treasury for future use. The fair will be held on the mauka portion of the capitol grounds, and in the old armory and new armory build ings. There will be departments for poultry and all farm products. School for Homesteaders Many of the children of the Kapaa homesteads have been compelled to walk four miles to the school at Kapaa. A petition was went in nome lime uk". asking th a school he established at some central point among the homesteads, so that the children would be better provided for. E. Livesy, of the wireless station, received notice today that the petition had been granted, and that a school would be established near his home stead. The news will be hailed with delight by the homesteaders. Death of John M. Neal News of the death of John V. Neal. in lletroit, .Michigan, was received Jan. 2'ith by Mrs. Neal. of lilt; Wilder Avenue. Tin? news came unexpected ly, for the wife hud no previous inti mation that her husband had been ill. Mr. Neal left Honolulu last February for the mainland. He was a drafts man and was born in Koloa, Kauai, 011 January i. IsfiS. llesides the wid nv, live children survive him. llrs. Neal expects to receive further par ticulars shortly of her husband's death. Advertiser THE BANK OF HAWAII, Limited LIHL'E BRANCH Ijiii k, KACAf. Hawaii D' posits arc re ive-'' s'irj-ct to 'heck.
