DUR MUNICIPAL
| WAYS ARE DIFFERENT

Editor Advertiser: So much is be-
ing said by the advocates of municipal
and county government of its success,
treating this phase of governmental de-
velopment as a traditional form of
American government that / wonder
why they permit the system to be so
overwhelmed with such old-fashioned
departments as sheriff, particularly in
the municipality of Honolulu.
Take the three ply governments of
any inland state and you will find first
the state government; second the coun-
ty government, and thirdly, municipal.
tiles within the counties Each county
has its sheriff, but each municipality
has its chief of police, entirely disas.
ISOLATED from the sheriff Their duties
are entirely separate, just as much as
those of the sheriff of the city and
county of San Francisco are separate
from those of the chief of police of the
municipal government of San Fran
cisco.
These mainland municipalities have
their mayor who appoints boards and
commissions. There is a police COM
mission, through and with whom the
mayor appoints the chief of police The
members of the police force are chosen
by merit and their promotion and re-
tention depends upon their fitness for
the positions. The position of chief of
police is appointive just as is that of
fire chief, road supervisor and the vari-
Gus departmental heads not otherwise
provided for under the elective system.
: The sheriff (of the county, is elect
ed and he has the appointment of a
few deputies. In the case of Oahu the
elected sheriff would appoint the depu
ties who are now elected for Eva, Wal
amaze. Waialua. Koolauloa, Koolaupoko,
etc. They would be separate from the
police force of the municipal precincts
of Honolulu.
! The system works we'll elsewhere and
if the electorate of this community is
striving toward the allegedly traditional
American ideal of government, and
must needs have all the old-fashioned
frills and trimmings then let it fashion
its municipality like Others on the
mainland LAPICINUM.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON. October 8, 1909.
The greatest possible interest has
been aroused by the new develop
ment in the present political out
look concerning the house of lords and
the budget 1t is not definitely known
what the lords really intend to do-wheth-
er they will pass the budget or reject it
but the latest theory is that they will
not have the temerity to take the latter
course. If this is correct, the govern
ment will not be forced to dissolution,
but will consider the advisability of talk
ing advantage of their present strong
position. and go to the country and ask
for approval of what has been done.
This seems to be the latest political
phase. The other alternative is that,
should the lords reject the budget-and
they cannot well mutilate it, as that
would be constitutionally wrong in re-
gard to a finance biIl-the government
would resign, and a general election
would take place in November. But if
the budget passes, and the government
decides to appeal to the country. the cleo
ton would take place in January.
Eager for the Fray.
Both liberals and protectionists declare
themselves eager for the fight. and party
organizations are being reinforced and
strengthened in view of the probable
eventuality. The present constitution of
the house of commons is as follows:
Liberals, 1857: labor and liberal labor,
so; nationalists. 80: protectionists 1866:
socialists. 2; total. go
The chief whips on both sides are in
close and constant consultation with the
chief party agents. Mr. JOSenh paora
the chief liberal whip, said in the lobby
that in the statement attributed to him
that he had made no preparations for a
general election. an important qualif1ca-
ton was omitted. What he had stated
was that he had made no preparations
which he thought 1t desirable to mention
to the press. 1--WE are bound" he added.
to assume at present that the house of
lords will not take the unconstitutional
course Of interfering with the finance bill
and that therefore this parliament has
yet two years to run
In all probability the finance bill will
receive Il third reading in the house of
commons October %, and the second
reading debate will commence in the
house of lords November I. The liquor
trade is bringing enormous pressure to
bear on the leaders of the tory party
in order to get the budget thrown out,
and the tariff reform party is also en-
deavoring to accomplish this end. Money
is again flowing from both these parties,
who will risk everything to gain their
end The food takers are appealing for
volunteers to spread their doctrine

DUBLIN, October 8, 1907,
Magherafelt Court House the other day
was the scene Of considerable excitement.
when no less than $50 old-age pensioners
had their pensions Cancelled on questions
raised by the officer that according to
the census returns they were not yet
seventy years of age.
Several heartrending scenes We're wit
messed when the old people were Informed
that the census returns were against
them. one old woman declaring that she
might as well be murdered, as since she
got the pension her son, who was her
only support, had died.
All the persons whose ages were ques
toned had been allowed the pension orig
inally on the statements by the clergy
that they believed the applicants were
seventy years Of age. The youngest re-
cipient was only fifty-nine. and the ages
Of the others varied from sixty to sixty
nine last birthday.
The committee exonerated the pension
officers from any blame in having rec
commended these people for pensions. as
In many cases they appeared to be over
the age, and on account of the pressure
of work at the beginning Of the year.
Several Of the pensioners, in spite Of the
census records, declared they were the
age and made verbal statements in cor
roboration.

clares that 1.-The word has gone out from
the real leader of the tory party that

Feeling in the lobby of the house of
commons, however, is still rather divided,
but the opinion of many leading liberals
is that no matter what the lords may do
the time is prOpitiOus for appealing to
the country on the budget and past
democratic work.
Sure to Reject This.
There is also this to be remembered,
that II the lords accept the finance bill.
the next session would commence with
the Welsh disestablishment bill, which
the lords are sure to reject so that the
present time seems appropriate for test
ing the feeling of the country. The best
authoritative statement is that If the
lords throw out the budget the election
would take place in November, but IL
the budget is passed the government
would dissolve Of it's own initiative and
the general election would then take
place in January.
Secrecy is generally observed at the
headquarters of both political parties as
to what is being done, but among lib
erals generally there is no hesitation in
predicting an early dissolution. At the
protectionist headquarters it is stated
that the party is ready for any event
uality that may arise in the general po-
litical situation. Mr.. Balfour, however.
recognizing the task he would have in
case of an election, is adopting the ''sit
on the fence attitude. He is not
whole-hogger on tariff reform, and in
case of dissolution he would have to
win 10 seats merely to equalize mat
tiers in the house of commons. He would
gain practically no assistance from either
Scotland, Wales or Ireland. and would
consequently have to sweep England from
end to end.

Exports From India to Empire Will

Herald.
The Secretary of State has just received
tho report Of the American delegates to
the international opium commission
which met at Shanghai from February /
to February 26. 1909. for the purpose of
considering means for the suppression of
the opium trade. 1t was an idea Of ex-
Secretary Root to induce the civilized
nations Of the earth to unite in an effor
to encourage and assist the government OF
China In abolishing a traffic which has
resulted in so much evil to the inhabitants
Of that empire. but before the plans were
matured the object of the conference was
extended 50 as to include all countries and
TO recommend measures to prevent the
manufacture and sale of opium every
where.
The suggestion OF Secretary Root was
received with cordial approval and dele
gates were appointed from Austria
Hungary, China, France, Germany, Great
Britain. Italy. Japan. the Netherlands,
Persia, Portugal. Russia and Siam.
The American delegates were the Rt
Rev. Bishop Brent of the Philippine
Islands, DIR. Hamilton Wright of Mime
apolis. who has had distinguished career
as medical practitioner and investigator
ia SiiC I<uot AhO1OSs dltu LIZ ~ -. leUnGy,
who has lived In China for many years,
was at one time private secretary to Ii
Hung Chang, and has since been prin-
cipal Of an English school at Tsien-
Tsien.
Bishop Brent was unanimously elected
president of the commission, and in his
opening address explained that the COM
mission did not have final powers; that
il was appointed to study the opium evil
in every aSpect,-moral economical, com.
mercial and diplomatic-and make recon-.
mendations to the several governments in
terested concerning what action is neces-
sary to suppress the traffic. No govern.
ment Is bound to accept the recommends
tions. but IT is hoped the commission will
serve a useful purpose and lay the foun.
cations for great reform.
The situation In China. Bishop Bren,
said, was, Of course, the most serious, and
the principal object Of the convention was
to Giye practical assistance to that gov.
eminent In its efforts to prevent the
cultivation and the importation of opium
within its limits. That could not be done
without the cooperation of other nations
Since 1903 there has been an agreement
between China and Great Britain under
which the industry is being gradually
suppressed in India, and IL is expected
that within ten years the traffic will en-.
:irely cease.
Exports Gradually Decreased.
