WARS NOT FASHIONABLE.

II is difficult i'm these days to get up
a great war! The world has not seen
one of the first magnitude since 1870,
a generation ago. A strong power will
still attack a weak one, but wars be-
tween first-class nations are becoming
J fewer and farther between and this
despite the fact that the great powers
are those between whom exists the
most friction.
This change In international policy
has not been brought about by any in
crease of public respect for the mild
humanities. There is no more DISPOSE
ton than there ever was to turn the
other cheek. One cannot see that the
millennium is nearer by any growth of
charity, temperance, meekness or
brotherly love between men. For the
! impelling cause behind the new era,
one must look to the growth Of de-
tructiveness in war. Chances are
against fighting man now Formerly
he had a show to come back safe with
honor; now he has to take the risks of
dynamite, lyddite, rapid-fire guns re-
peating rifles, long-range shells, aerial
explosives and a score more of deadly
missiles unknown in any war before.
face to face and the mortality will be
colossal in it's magnitude. The pros
pect does not tempt the bravast man:
and the cost of 1t all in treasure as well
as in blood appals the strongest nation.
1t is a singular paradox that the more
destructive the devices of slaughter be-
come, the better for the worlds peace.
In that respect the man who makes
two shells explode where one exploded
before is a public benefactor.
The element of cost in money is be-
coming more and more important. The
world owes more cash now than it can
ever repay. The most it can do is to
would not be SO bad economically if it
merely caused money to change hands;
but ii goes further than that in elimi-
mating wealth and thereby lessening
the resources and credit OF overbur-
dened States. 1t also implies the sup
port of a vast armed body of consumers
in time of peace. No nation, unless 1t
is sure of conquest, can afford the |
luxury Of war and then it must make |
the enjoyment brief. 1t is a recogni- |
tion of this truth at St. Petersburg and |
other capitals which accounts for the |
Tribunal at The Hague, for the caution |
of Russia and Japan for the failure Of |
the easy settlement of the Venezuelan |
affair Of 1895 and the Fashoda incident |

WANTS FRANCHISE
SALE DEFERRED

Governor Dole said yesterday after
noon, with reference to a then lust
published statement that he had de-
clded to put the Kohala ditch up at
public auction, that such had been the
intention of the Government for some
time past. AS to when the sale would
take place, the Governor said 1t was
undecided, Mr.. Gehr had asked that
the event be deferred. as he desired
to SO TO Washington.
a. c. Gehr after the recent confer
ence, made formal demand on Land
Commissioner Boyd to deliver the fran
chise to his company and the Commits
sioner formally refused the demand.
This procedure cleared the way for an
injunction suit to stop the sale at auc-
ton, should Mr.. Gehr and associates
decide on such action as their best
recourse.
From remarks made by Mr.. Gehr
openly, between and since the two re-
cent conferences in the Governors Of
flee, he has several strings to his bow.
Should the sale be ordered before he
leaves for Washington, or at any time
before his return, the cable would be
busy for while,

THE COUNTY TICKET.

The ticket named by the Republicans
of Oahu county last night was far pet
ter than many anticipated. 1t was n
ticket which, in the main, represents
the purpose of the party to exclude
from honors and preferment men VINO

There was more or less fear yesterday
that, in the midst of trading and max
ing combinations this vital principe
would be overlooked; but so far as We
can see at this writing, but one noInl-
nee. Robert Boyd, can be described as
undeserving. Boyd would have Deeh
beaten in convention If any one be
sides himself had wanted the surveyor
ship; and he will not be elected at the
polls IL the Home Rulers will run an
honest and competent man against num-
The most important offices on the
ticket are the Supervisorships. Inc
Supervisors will form a sort of County
Legislature with certain Administrative
and executive functions added to theF
other duties. Upon their character
and intent the success or failure OF
county government will depend. The
full list of supervisorial nominees IS as
follows. At Large: George f. Renton'
Mark p Robinson, John Lucas; Fourth
District ]. \. Gilman, y. Hockngi
Fifth District, Frank Pahia, ;. {.
Dwight. 1t goes without the saying
that If these men are elected, oahu
county will have good government and
the Republican party a sound repre-
sentGtion.
The county nominees are Sheriff, a.
M. Brown: Clerk. Harry i. Murray,
Auditor, Isaac Sherwood; County At

of elf-congratulation that they had

Mr.. CHAMBERLAlN'S MlSHAp.

Mr.. Chamberlain has fallen a victim
to the conservative temper of Eng
lishmen as respects free trade. With
statesmans breadth of view he fore
saw that the economic policy which
serv e., England when she was almost
the only manufacturing country could
not sustain her under the competition
of other industrial powers and that,
sooner or later, she would have to
modify her free trade principles and
adopt some features of protection. In
his theory Mr.. Chamberlain was alb
solutely right; but when he challenged
the logged adherence of his fellow
Englishmen to the old things and the
old ways, he was forced out of office.
Like Gladstone for Home Rule in Ire
land he had - acknowledge that his
country yields only to the slow and
silent processes of fate; never to an
innovation.
What Mr.. Chamberlain proposed was
to erect a protective tariff for the
United Kingdom with a grant of pref
erental rates. If not absolute freedom
of trade, to the Colonies He believed
that this measure would ID relieve the
burden of taxation which has become
especially severe since the Boer war;
I'D consolidate the empire; Gid in
crease the prosperity of manufacture
ers and farmers; QV) provide money
for old age pensions and other forms
of socialistic relief; (V) afford the COL
onies a chance to control a market
which is now in the hands of out
siders, particularly the United States.
1t was a program worthy of a states
man; but it was defeated by voices
from the tomb.
However, Mr.. Chamberlain may bide
his time. Stronger than respect for
old things is the instinct of self-pres-
ervation and this, in course of time,
must impel Englishmen to a drastic
reform in the economic policy be-
queathed them by Adam Smith.

Governor Dole Favors
Contract To Lay
ConduitS.

Governor Dole takes q keen interest
in the proposition to put all electric
wires under ground within the business
section. He says that the opinion of
the Attorney General upon the aues-
ton of extending the permits for con-
structing lines to the Century and the
Standard telephone companies touched
but tightly the power of the Superin-
tendent of Public Works to make a
contract for the construction of con-
Quits.
The resolution of the executive coun-
ell on the subject, after a short pream-
BILE. declared;
That as a matter of policy the Su-
perintendent of Public Works be re-
quested not to allow an extension Of
any permits for the construction of
aerial circuits for telephone or tele-
graph wires within a radius of one
mile from the Capitol building"
Further, 1t was moved and carried:
THAT the superintendent of Public
Works be instructed to ascertain the
feasibility and likelihood of entering
into contract with some company ar
individual for the laying of under
ground conduits in Honolulu for the
accommodation of all electric light
wires belonging to the Government or
private companies, and of telephone
and telegraph wires as well, either now
in existence or to be hereafter laid"
