From the Kansas City star.
In the peTpleXing situation which the
North Carolina dispute has accentuated It
would be rash to attempt an ipse dlxit

cate that the remedy viii lie in some
mitigation OF the practice Of summary
iniunctive Intervention before there has
been an opportunity to demonstrate the
quality of the State law.

JtnEOes May work On Surplus
Energy on sea Serpents.
From the Honolulu Bulletin
There can be little doubt that the
luncheon with the President of the Japa-
nese Ambassador Aoki and Admiral
Yamamoto, followed by a formal state
ment from the President Of the friendly
relation existing between Japan and
America, was planned with the purpose
Of putting an end to the foolish political
war talk which has been going the rounds
for The last few weeks.
A more direct expression Of peace and
good will could hardly be framed than
that which the President has given TO
the world under conditions which give
it the force Of a joint note.
It should now be possible for those
under the influence Of the silly season
to work of their surplus energy on sea
serpents. The war scare business has
worked out, and Hawaii may feel well
pleased that such is the case.
