Two Miles IA Minute.

In England the advocates of great
speed in transportation predict that in
a few years they will have a single rail
line on which trains will be run at the
rate of 10 miles an hour. In Germany
an electric railroad is proposed. over
which cars are expected to move 12O
miles in 60 minutes. Americans are
not slow, but they are not impatient
for transit so rapid as to exceed the
bounds of reason. A mile a minute is
fast enough for the great majority OF
sober-minded and practical people.

left for future revelations to explain.
I'm the midst of our sorrow we
have much to console us. He lived to
see his nation greater than ever be-
out. There is no south, no north, no
east, no west. Washington saw the
beginning of our national life. Lincoln
passed through the night of our his
tory and saw the dawn. Mckinley be.
held the splendor of his country at its
noon. Truly, he died in the fullness
of fame. The work assigned him had
been well done. The nation was at
peace. We had fairly entered upon
an era of unparalleled prosperity Our
revenues were generous. Our stand
ing among the nations was secure.
Our President was safely enshrined
in the affections of united people.
II was not at him the fatal shot was
fired; but at the very life of the gov.
ernment. His Offering was vicarious.
1t was blood poured upon the altar
of human liberty. In view of these
things we are not surprised to hear,
from one who was present when this
great soul PISSED away, that he never
before saw q death so peaceful, or a
dying man so crowned with grandeur.
I'VE hoped with him that when his
work was done. freed from the bur.
dens of his great Office, crowned with
the affections of happy people, he
might be permitted to close his earthly
life in the home he had loved He

do not ask you in the heat of public

had such high honors bestowed upon

upon to-day? We gave him to the ma.

YACHTING sQUABBLE.

The New York Yacht club may have
trouble before it, OF course if the yacht
of the New York Yacht club beats the
Shamrock, there will be nothing to be
said, but should the Shamrock win,
there will be a howl if the Independence
should be shut out from racing.
The Independence is yacht built by
Thomas w. Lawson, the Boston copper
king. She may or may not be swifter
than the Columbia or the Constitution.
The cause of quarrel between Mr. Law
son and the Club can be thus stated.
MIR. Lawson is not a member of the
New York Yacht club. The New York
Yacht Club is the custodian of the
Americas cup under deed which was
very carefully drawn up by Mr. Bird
an eminent New York lawyer and
prominent member of the club. The
club holds that the Independence in or
der to take part in the races must be
enrolled in the name of one or more
members of the club, and registered on
the clubs records in the name of such
member or members or must be
chartered to a member or members for
a period of not less than two months"
Mr.. Lawson is willing to have his boat
enrolled, but is unwilling to have her
enrolled as some one else's property.
He says according to the Literary
Digest, Il have held from the start
that any boat that proves herself the
better boat, owned by an American and
built here, can race for the cup. never
could agree that l was under any neces-
sity, in order to have my boat compete,
TO give her away to another man or to
surrender my ownership of her.
thoroughly agree that the boat should
be enrolled in the New York Yacht
Club, in order to be eligible, but [ do
not believe. and have never believed
that in order to be so enrolled it is
necessary that she shall be owned by a
member of the club"
Mr.. Lawson has expressed his will
ingness to give the charge of his boat
during the races to the club. or to any
members they may designate but the
club requires that he charter his boat
to some member or members of the
club by personal arrangement; and this
Mr.. Lawson refuses to do.
1t is quite a neat little quarrel upon
which various papers are taking sides.
Technically the New York Yacht Club
is right, but that viii not save 1t from
an enormous amount of vituperation
should the Shamrock win and the indie
pendence be debamed from taking part
in the races.

governments It must be just as good
for state. territorial and municipal gov
eminent, If better and more efficient
officials are obtained under these rules
by the federal government, and money
is actually saved. then il should be just
as true Of any other bodies which en-
ploy officials i'm considerable numbers.
This has been recognized in some of
the larger municipalities, and certain
portions of the official staff i'm New
York have the civil service regulations
applied to them.
1t would be an excellent thing to
apply the regulations here but there
would undoubtedly be very strong
effort made against it. To lose patron-
age would not please the average Leg
islator of Hawaii. He by no means
wants to be protected from his consti-
tuents WHO desire spells. In point Of
fact much of his legislation is directed
to personal ends, and the appropriation
bill is a record of salaries made for the
parties holding the office, and not for
the Office itself.
But if this would not suit the Legis-
lators it would suit the taxpayers
very well. They want the best men to
do the work and they do not want
any superhuous employees. Where poll
tics rule there will always be super
huous employees Salaries get slipped
into the appropriation bill for the spe-
cifc purpose of supplying the little
army of cormorants 1t would be by
no means a difficult task to put the
chief executive departments of the Ter
ritorial government under civil service
rules. OF course it would REQUIRE an
act of the Legislature, but two years
from now one may have a Legislature
which has some common sense. Once
that were done we would have an as
surance that people of ability were be-
ing used in our public offices. We have
many of excellent ability now, but we
also have those who do not possess the
proper ability to do what they are call
ed upon to do. Had Mr.. Serven's ad-
dress been more widely heard, his ideas
might have taken deeper root to our
advantage.

Six different languages in the police
court must have tried the powers of
interpreters. But it is not necessary
to have six men for interpreters. AT
the port of New York, the polyglot
races of Europe come pouring in, and
occasionally the Interpreting force is
hard pushed. A little while ago there
was a demand for an interpreter of
Lithuanian, and one was with great
difficulty found, but the difficulty lay
not in getting a Lithuanian interpre-
ter, but one who could interpret seven
or eight other languages. Uncle Sam
is economical. L would be quite posi-
BILE here to get interpreters who under
stood and spoke the four or five prin-
cipal languages in use here, and thus
do away with the constant Interchange
of interpreters between courts.

CIVIL SERVICE.

Chief Civil Service Examiner Server
gave a most interesting talk upon the
history and present scope of the civil
service before the pupils of the sum
mer Normal School yesterday. 1t is a
pity that more people We're not present.
as what Mr.. Server had to say was
spoken with thorough knowledge of the
subject and it is one which will more
and more interest our own people. many
of whom have already essayed to
qualify themselves under the rules of
the civil service and there are many
more who will strive to do so at future
examinations
Mr.. Serven's view of the reason for
the continuance and spread of the civil
service system was that it protected
the Congressman from the continual
applications of their constituents for
Jobs. Before the establishment of the
civil service system not only Congress-
men but everyone from the President
down had hardly a quarter of an hour
in the day which was not taken up
with listening to applications for posi-
tions.
Under the Civil Service Commission
ers when constituent arrives in
Washington, the Congressman says
well, Bill, should be delighted to
get you place, you are just the man
Tor 1T, but those COMPOUNDED Civil Ser
vice Commissioners! 1 can't do any
thing, my hands are tied" and he iollies
Bill up a bit, who returns to the dis
trict, cursing the Commissioners and
believing in his Congressman, whom he
works for next term in the hope he |
will strive to do away with the Com
missioners and restore the spoils sys-
TEN.
The growth of the spoils system was |
very ably shown by Mr.. Server. When |
the government was first inauPurated |
the heads of departments very care
fully selected their subordinates. The
number required was small, and there
was ample time to make selection, and
good men We're obtained. But by 1920
the number had increased, and the
power that the spoils system would
give struck. the minds Of ambitious
men, who, as Mr.. Server pointed out,
We're less patriotic and more selfish
than the founders of the Republic.
However the system became unendur-
able, its evils were fully recognized as
far back as 1S4S and 1852, the determln-
ed stand against it was taken in 1888,
from which time more and more posi-
lions have been put upon the classified
list.
There can be no doubt as to the sue
cess and the advantage of the sys-
tenn. There may and doubtless are
faults in the details, which viii be cor
rected as time goes on, but the main
idea is right, and what is still better
it is economic. Better work is obtain
ed, better material to do the work is
found, and therefore the work comes
cheaper.

Any one will hail fishing enterprise
with delight. A large part of our popu-
lation are mainly ichthiophagists or
fish eaters and fish is both scarce and
dear. 1t has frequently been Dointed
out that there is no reason why the
waters surrounding the Islands should
not supply ample food for the whole
population, but fishing has mostly
drifted into the hands of Chinese and
Japanese, and the market is kept very
bare. If Mr.. Birkmyre's enterprise
proves successful, others may follow
him in this line of business. Mr. Birk-
myre's field is the coast of Kauai. The
waters around Molokai swarm with
fish, and there are fine fishing grounds
off the Island of Lanai. The waters of
Kona form another excellent fishing
ground. There deep sea fish of excel
lent quality can be obtained. But in
seeking the deep sea fish, the locality
should be known. The old natives can
guide a boat infallibly to exactly the
right spot while a tyro might hunt
about for weeks and never catch fish
