WE WILL'MISS HIM
C. II. Wilcox, who met his
death so tragically last Sun
day afternoon, was a man in
the prime of life, whose in
fluence and usefulness can
ill be spared from the com
munity. Born and brought
up in our midst, and with
large holdings here, natural
ly and necessarily his inter
ests were those of the com
munity. As a progressive and in
telligent business man he
was a safe man. whom every
one could trust in all matters
of public interest, careful
and conservative, yet wisely
progressive and ready to
take a hand in every worthy
enterprise. In a business
and public capacity he will
be missed from the commu
nity. Personally, as a man of
character, who stood quietly
but Jirmly for practical
righteousness, he was a val
uable asset to the commu
nity. As a mod!, unassum
ing gentleman; as an unob
trusive but generous and
steadfast friend; as an ideal
husband and father, he has
exercised, during all these
years, a salutary and helpful
influence on the community
that will not soon be forgot
ten. We can ill afford to lose
such men.
"WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH PKOHIBITIOXf
The Chamber of Commerce is
very properly exercised over the
deluge of moonshine booze that
floods the country in spite of, or
because of, prohibition and wants
to know why, and what can be
done.
To very many people the advent
of prohibition seems to have been
a Hat failure, and a sad disillu
sion. Through long years of steadfast
struggle and endeavor we fought
for prohibition and finally hoping
against hope, we won it, and we
said to ourselves "Now everything
will be all right, booze and the
evils of booze will be banished
from the land, and the glory of the
millenium will soon dawn in the
eastern sky," and we were so con
fident of it that we bundled up all
our temperance paraphernalia,
societies, leagues, bands, pledges,
campaigns etc. and stowed them
away in the attic as useless lum
ber But, bless you, now that we
have prohibition, it doesn't seem
to prohibit at all, and we have
more booze than in the old days
of license, or of the wide-open sale.
And every one is wondering
how it is that prohibition is such
a miserable failure.
There are probably several rea
sons, but one fundamental one is
that we have "weakened in the
tight." There is no rest, and no
vacation and no peace, and no
"pan' in lighting the devil. AY lieu
you think that von have got him
licked, and that you can go home,
and lay aside your weapons, and
take it easy, thats the time that
the devil scores a victory!
Prohibition won't run itself,
not anv distance. Its an up grade
over a rough track and with many
obstructions and somebody has
got to sTiove, and keep shoving, if
we are going to get anywhere. We
have got to keep hammering away
with insistent and emphatic de
mands until the means and the
men are forthcoming to enforce
this law, as every other serious
law is enforced. We have got to
keep up the fight.
plates, with paper cups for coffee and
tin spoons. This means there will be
other comestibles than beans, such as
"slum," or stew, good bread and beef,
with perhaps even dessert such as pie
and ice cream.
Major Frank Morrel, commanding
officer of the cooks' and bakers' school,
promises that all rolling kitchens of
the Department will be lined up In the
park to cook a typical army dinner.
His assistants are Sergeants Oaks and
Thielcn. He is training his men for
the big job, and housewives through
out the islands are invited to visit the
Park on the morning of July 5 and
watch the cooks and bakers preparing
the huge meal.

Amateur Dramatics
A very pretty presentation of "The
Prince of Magic" was given by the Li
hue Grammar Dramatic Club before a
select audience on Mrs. Hogg's lawn
last Wednesday afternoon. The play
was a uurcly local affair, it having
been written and staged by the mem
bers of the club, who received no help,
even even in the form of advice, from
grown ups.
Miss Katherine Moragne, the author
of "The Prince of Magic" is a writer
who assembles the usual elements of
the popular play, intrigue, tempaion,
retribution and the heart-throb ele
ment with a masterly hand. Her con
ception of a real love story is as fol
lows: The heroine represented by Miss
Dora Rice who is robed as an Oriental
princess, is discovered in her bower
languishing for her prince. The prince
who is recognized as Miss Isabel
Hogg, appeared at once, clad in a mili
tary uniform. After the embrace
done in true movio style, the prince,
who is evidently a person of direct
methods, announces that he is about
to perform on the ukulele for the di
version of his lady. Pulling it out of
his pocket he begins at once. Alas, the
third sring of the ukulele is enchanted
and his highness falls to the ground in
a swoon.
The princess, evidently consider
ably concerned about the ukulele, ex
claims, "O, don't drop it!" and makes
an effort to grasp the instrument as
the prince falls. In doing so she also
touches the third Btring and also falls
on the ground.
Enter the villan, Miss Katherine
Moragne, attired as a housemaid, hap
pens along at that time and, seeing
her opportunity, robs the royal per
sonages, the prince of his watch and
the princess of her necklace, and
stealthily disappears.
The prince and the princess regain
consciousness and on arising the prin
cess immediately asks the prince for
the time; suggesting, at the same mo
ment, that he may wish to see her
new necklace.
Horrors! With cries of "My watch
has been robbed!" "My neclace has
been robbed!" the unfortunate young
people summon the policeman who
happens to be close by. This efficient
oflicer is represented by Miss Allis
Simpson, who is armed with a club.
In less time then it takes to say Jack
Robinson he has the culprit before her
accusers. The laws delays evidently
do not hamper this court for the po
liceman immediately takes things into
his own hands and makes the punish
ment fit the crime.
Owing to the fact that the publicity
agent did not properly advertise his
play only a fortunate few knew of It
and had an opportunity to attend. The
general public is now clamoring to
have the play reproduced and for this
reason we consider the interests of
the management and deny ourselves
the pleasure of giving a synophsis of
the acts that follow the thrilling one
we have given in detail. The last act
ends to everybodys satisfaction and
leaves the spectators happy.
The Prince of Magic was written
and performed for the purpose of
raising money to purchase toys for
the children of the Mahelona hospital.
The thought is a kindly and generous
one and the children who worked so
hard for the success of the play de
serve recognization from the commu
nity. We trust that the performance
will be repeated and that the patron
age will be liberal.
On A Colossal Scale
To feed 6000 people in an hour will
be the task of the expert bakers and
cooks of the Hawaiian Department at
the big military Tournament at Ka
piolani Park, Honolulu, on July 5.
This stunt, in itself, should be well
worth going some distance to see. The
tournament is to be a three-day affair,
beginning Saturday morning, July 3
and continuing to Monday night, July
5.
As a matter of fact the army cooks
probably will be called upon to feed
a great many more than the C000 spe
cified, but they are equipped to serve
"chow" at the rate of one hungry per
son every two seconds. Of course one
of the features of the feed will be the
famous army beans, without which no
army meal would be complete.
Prospective visitors to the military
tournament are advised that it will
not be necessary to bring mess kits,
as the food will be served on paper
