FACE THE MUSIC
You wanted annexation and jou
havo got it is an expression oflon
heard recently in responBo to com
plaints of existing conditions in Ha
waii It is no ueo for ouy Rood citi
zen to shrug his shoulders and say
I told you so to those who now
are dealing with questions involving
the welfare of the whole oountry
Wo may enjoy tho briof moment in
which wo can laugh at the unfor
tunate men who caused annexation
and tho loss of the independence of
our oountry but we know that it is
necessary for us tojbaok them up in
their present dilemma for the sake
of the oountry and the nation
Many problems of a political so
cial and financial naturo are now be
fore ub We did not cause the com
plications but we have got to help
in solving them
The peace of the community is
daily threatened and violated by the
hordes of snldierB and civilians who
invade the country and who openly
state that they intend to run tho
town Their determination to paint
the town red and thqir inborn con
tempt for Hawaiian police officers
make them over bold and it baa be
come necessary for our local author
ities to use tho very strictest mea
sures in legitimately protecting the
polioo force The offioers of Mar
shal Brown are as a whole good and
able men They are fearless and
they do their duties according to
tho best of their understanding
Tho authority of thir uniforms
must be supported by tho Courts
and it is unnecessary to say that as
saulters of police officers will re
ceive their just duos in the District
It is pity but alas I a fact that the
wise sentences of the District Judge
are frequently sot aside by the Attorney-Generals
Department and
that a nolle proa is entered in the
Circuit Court in oases where a rigid
prosecution ohould bo onforcod
The police force is not up to the
Btrength necessary to protect this
oity and nobody is to be blamed ex
cept the last short sighted legisla
tors Honolulu has expanded in every
direction and we all know that there
is more shipping in port more sol
diers and foreigners and more un
desirablo characters than ever be
fore in the history of the Islands
And yet wo find no increase in the
number of the bocly supposed to
protect the taxpayers and ready to
ohook the undesirable element at
all hours
Tho community must be protected
against the outrages committed by
the soldiors who believe that Hono
lulu is a jay town filled with barba
rians Our small polico forco can
not cope with tho uniformed mob
and tho commander of the garrison
stationed hore seems not tp realize
that ho is the of
all U S soldiers while within his
military jurisdiction and that it is
his duty to uphold tho civil autho
rities whenever they are threatened
by men virtually under his com
mand

Thero in a doplnrablo laolc of dis
cipline in tho army Wo havo seen
o Hi corn in uniform insulted and oven
stfickon hy privates in uniform and
submitting to tho treatment In
other armios in time of war espe
cially tho offonding soldier would
nood only one thing a gravo
Men and women of all nationali
ties protest loudly against tho out
rages committed hore by the soldiers
allowed to spend a day or two
ashore Womon aro insulted Jap
anese rohbod Chinese assaulted and
the oity has virtually been in posses
sion of the uniformed mob during
tho stay of tho last transports Out
looal authorities aro helpless but
ttiB worm may turn at last and the
pooplo of Honolulu notify tho gov
ernment at Washington that it is no
longer considered safe for tho terri
tory of Hawaii to haye soldiers land
od here except they are under com
mand Let them come ashore
stretch their logs ttinrah as long as
they pleaao but if they cannot bo
have themselves stop their liborty
Mr MoKinlnys administration can
hardly afford to add more embarrass
ing subjects for the debate on Hat
waii which will be heard whon
groan meets
let them KEMAIN
Con-
Tim Dole organ has taken one of
its spasmodic interests in tho ques
tions relating to tho social evil and
Pauahi pfrppt and advances wise
ideas on the siibjeot editorially be
sides railroading correspondence
through its columns manufactured
by T S S who evidontly is familiar
with the doings inthe quartierdela
demi monde It is not a pleasant
subject to deal with and yet it in of
yital importance to our whota com
munity and tho social existence and
welfare of tho people living here n
these daVK wlinn thw nrum nnunn it
columns for the washing of the dirty
linen of private people whon tho
now woman has become a de facto
establishment and wn are surround-
ed by chil
dren there are no reasons wo should
shut our eyes to conditions existing
among us or call a spado a spude
The good people who want to re
move tho prostitutes from Pauahi
street do not know what they are
talking about The lunation of that
street is nuoh that the presence of
tho womon there cannot possibly in
terfere with the good people who go
to ohuroh or drive in a tramcar
through Nuuanu street There is
no necessity for anybody to pass
through Fauahi street which is not
a thnroughfaro of any importance
The traffic of those who are feoling
uhooked is mainly through King
Berotania and Nuuanu streets and
we fail to see how Pauahi street can
interfere with them Good men like
TSS may have business in Pauahi
street but oven if the dames were
moved to Kakaako he might find
that he had the eamo business there
In other cities iu whioh garrisons
are established and whioh are sea
ports the good people shut their
eyes to what here is oall tho Sooial
Evil and there tho Necessary
Evil Perhaps the difference in
nsmo has something to do with
Society hero Tn all big seaporta
and Honolulu is becoming one
tho prostitutes aro given quarters
in streets where they become
offensive to the public but in streets
located as near as poBsibly to the
Police Stations and generally to the
Central Polico Station If tho dames
are to bo moved to Iwilei or Kaka
ako Marshal Brown will be forced
to ask for at loast 50 extra men or
thero will bo murder every night
As it is the polioe has all it can do
to keep the peace in the districts
mentioned wbero at present no gen
oral prostitution is permitted Wo
have had bb many as 8000 soldiors
here at one time besides a largo
number uf sailors without womon
Wo have a horrible surplus of men
Asiatics and whites over the number
of women hore and instead of reme
dying this disastrous evil by devising
means to import more frail pro
fessional women tho good people
of the caliber of T S S and the
Tfr f5TlWT1 TtH5
Advortiser man advooato moasuroo
whioh will frustrato tho benefits to
the community dorivod from what
it ploasos a hypooritioal world to
oall a necessary evil Tho looation
of prostitutes in fauahi atroot can
not be improved upon but Our laws
dealing with men living on- tho
oarnings of prostitutes Bhould bo
amondod according to the laws now
in force in England by whioh a mau
living on the immoral earnings of a
woman goes to jail
