' An idea of the general character of the lesson
may be gained from the text given under the topic,
Vby We Entered the War," as follows :
When. war appeared in Europe the United
" Htates goTCininent and people felt every desire
to keep out of it. As the greatest of neutrals
: we thought we might best serve the world bv
; not taking sides, therefore keeping free to' play
i peacemaker between the belligerents -alien a
; proper time arrived.
' Germany herself forced us to foi-ego neutral
. ity- Bhe fought with utter disregard for inter
national law. She destroyed the property of
neutrals. She murdered noncombatants. She
threw to the winds honor and the regard of de
cent men. She compelled us to oppose her.
German Violated our rights here; in our own
land. Her oCicial representatives, while openly
friendly, secretly forged our national docu
ments, caused labor strikes and hired criminals
- to burn our factories an.d blow up our ships. .
Germany plotted, against us abroad, pr6pos-
. 5 -n rw 4 t atiAa fi r A Tonnh n nr rt-n t rr tie
- yet all that time professing to be wholly friend
ly. While drowning; American womennnd chil
. drep, without any least warrant in the usages
: of war? Berlin' kept proiui8ing( to stop the in
human work. At the same time she was actively .
-engaged building more U-boats to go at it hard
; cr, and her ambassador at Washington was ask
. ing his superiors for f 50,000 to bribe our law
makers to favor pro-German schemes. Noth
ing, less than armed opposition to this active
war which . Germany Was niaking against us
could maintain our national self-respect.
. Germany, however, had proved by her b
, havior that not onr safety only, but also the
.'"safety of civilization itself, dej)endeU upon her
complete defeat. Belgium, Serbia and Kuma-
. iiS.i U'itnDvstut in lie Kmf ol ilicMnAnt nf nil
save her own selfish interests. If she could so
act in Eurojxv she would act similarly . here as
kooii as opportunity allowed. If Belgium could
be devastated for military advantage and: Ku
, mania oerrun for food supplies, the United
States could (and would) be attacked to gain,
k a money ransom. .
These hapjenings. . inade wholly clear the
war's real aim. Its aim was not to alter boun
daries, but to assure all peoples of self-rule and
freedom from autocratic domination. Its aim
whs. iu luuM- iur uriu eaie tor: ueniocracy,
as our president had declared. Such a force as
. Germany claimed to be' (and was frightfully
attempting to prove herself) made democracy
V a farce, prevented peace and stood utterly op
iinsfHl tn trne nro?rrpRs.
So we have entered the war of defense
against an Intolerable violation of our national
rights and, quite as much, to put an end to
tyrannous autocracy and. make the rule of the

up to overtake the children of the other islands in
their school and home garden activity
Jt is good business to hurry up the children on
a project of this character, but in the hurrv it would
not be fair to forget the record of what the Oahu
children have done. The following letter published
in the Hawaii Educational Heview tells the story
oi wnat has been done, and the comment is made
by the Review editor that. "it would be interesting
to make similar comparisons on all the islands and
to find the iiercentagc of nationalities for all
schools:'
Mr. Henry W. Kinnev.
Supt. of Public Instruction,
Honolulu, T. H.
near Mr: I beg to submit to von a sunmiarv of
our last year s garden work on he Island of Oahu,
which I am sure will be of interest to you and I
hope of value to the. department. I have taken
particular care that these figures should Ik as accu
rate as, it is possible to get them. Thev include
all the public schools on this island except two oi
three, where there has been -no. garden work.
vte nave now under cultivation !n the school
and home gardens a total of '21 acres of land (about
8 acres of this are in the school cardens and It; in
the home gardens) . From this land was harvested
14.3 tons of vegetables which were valued at
11243.45. About one-third of these vegetables were
sold. The remainder were used in the homes where
they were raised, making a saving to these homes
of about f $38.
About one-third (32.0 of all the children in
the .schools have taken active part in the garden
work either in the school or home garden or both.
On several occasions I have been asked how the
different nationalities compared in the garden work
and I have gathered the following figure , which
are vat her a gratifying surprise to me. as thev show
the Hawaiiaus lead. I have figured on a ier cent
basis the number of each nationality- doing garden
hrork as compared with the total enrolment of each
nationality in the schools.

The old barracks of. royalty leing vacated bv the
federal military authorities would make a nifty
museum for the display of historical relics. It could
be"niade for Honolulu what the old state house is
for Boston. Moreover, its location is at the civic
center.
While there should U general rejoicing at the
prospect of marketing Hawaii's surplus of bananas
on the coast, it will be the duty. of the local food
commission to see that a dearth of that valuable
food at home is not artificially- created.
From innocuous brews and lettuce sandwiches it
is not a high climb to the water wagon, yet the
ladies of the College Club deserve credit for mak
ing it on behalf of the "cause."
It is to be hoped that Wehde was the closest link
between Honolulu and intended wholesale assas

To sav that to trv the man who is tbe? The famons Koyai Hawaiian nana:
known to know nothing and incompe
tent in the great things pertaining to
this office of band, is to open the gate f do? Is it to order the boys of Waialee,
wide for all incompetent men to be
come head leaders for all the offices
of our county government.
And as this office is not like other
offices. Nay- The man who leads thi3
office, must not be a man that some
cne else has to write and compose hH
musics. No! But hisvownself as Kala
ni Peters is, and when the ladies and
gentlemen with their respective mu
sics are before Robert H. Baker, what
shall he say to them? Will he not tell
the untruth to these people that hf
can. and yet he cannot, hiding the
truth, that Captain H. Berger win
write and arrange those musics that
were brought to him?
And as this Robert II. Baker is a
clergyman for the 'Hoomana Naauao"
church, founded by John Kekipi, how
is it that his conscience is so daring
as to want to take the leadership of
this great office, well knowing of his
ownself that he is not enough in wri
ng music and composing music, and
yet, tbe conscience of the clergyman
dares to take the leadership for this
office, is this not a proud manner of
the lowest kind of politics?
And as your motto. Honorable
Mott-Smith and C. H. Beilina, is the
Proper Man" competent, knowledge,
skill in handling certain offices of the
county, by his ownself, as Kalani Pet
ers is and not like the awkward Rob
ert H. Baker, depending his skill on
Captain H. Berger, this is a shameful
kind of politics, and of the very lowest
oolishness.
And as both of you honorables be-
ong to the Republican political partv.
and is our same party with Kalani
Petersi and R. H. Baker is a Democrat,
the queerest thing is that the one who
never voted for you is the one you up
held, and Kalani Peters, who voted for
you is the one you trampled under
your feet.
See to this, you both candidates for
supervisors whom I have worked hard
for, for the honor of the political party
by this office of the band, do humbly
ask your highness, to change the vote

let R. H. Baker handle the band with
his ability to direct you men and con

connection therewith has kept for
purposes of prostitution two young
Hawaiian girls so young that they
should be in a reform school instead
of at the mercy of the "poor. lgno

Judce Pcindexter. with more va
ergy than knowledge, accuses a sol
dier of buy-ins; the Hawaiian's wares
and then causirift his arrest. For
the benefit of Judge Poindexter I
f hcnld like to point out that when a
soldier is found drinking he may be
ordered to state where or from whom
he obtained the liquor, and a refusal
on his part to disclose such fact U
severely punishable by military court.
This soldier was ordered by his cont
mandius officer to show the housw
where he had purchased the liquors,
and it w-as he who made tle report
to the I'nited States marshal instead
of the soldier.
I notice that Judge Poindexter "re
grets" that he Is "unable to commit
the soldier to jail" and that he states
that "the soldier will go on his way
unpunished." This shows his com
plete ignorance of military, law. Be
fore Judge Poindexter's article ap
peared in the Advertiser the soldier
to whom he referred was confined in
the guardhouse awaiting trial by mili
tary court It is unfounded state
ments of the kind which Judge Poin
dexter has seen fit to have printed
which cause slurs to be cast on the
uniform and give the civilian publlo
an erroneous idea of the soldier.

Mrs. Jack London, the well knows
writer and who was a frequent visitor
to Hawaii, haa completed a book en
titled "Our Hawaii." Mrs. London, in

fays that the MacMillan Co., which
accepted her book, "thought it admir
able." Several pages of Illustrations
have been reduced considerably to
make room for more Important fea
tures descriptive of Hawaii.

who have no votes, is that it? Aua
then call it the Royal Hawaiian band?
Honorable members, mis is my last
prayer to the kindness of both of you,
always hoping that the God of the peo
ple, and in the name of Jesus Christ,
will assent my prayer to reinstate Ka

the city and county of Honolulu in the
name of the Father, of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost, Amen.

Editor Star-Bulletin:
Sir: The appointee for. the position
of leader and director of the Hawaiian

Baker, should be highly appreciated
by any and all music levers of th?s
town.
Gentlemen: Allow me space in your
most valuable columns and bear this
fact in mind: Stop fighting or blowing
your natural mouthpieces, for you
need a gcod Ul-day vacation, and get
to your usual rehearsal hall on
Thursday, the 1st day of November,
A. D. 1917, and say "Good morning,
Bob," and then hear him say, "Aioiia
no kakou."
Keep your instruments in tune and
work like good Hawaiian musicians
and try your best efforts to play your
part; never mind with trying to show
your little foolishness.
Robert H. Baker is a graduate of
the Kamahameha Manual School, has
a title for Reverend, a respectable
gentleman, during any time of the day
or night, an abstainer of Indian fire
water, leads a fine church choir, and
a man of confidence, trusty worthi
