All Right as Far as ~ Goes,
but IL Not Far Enough

Under q new ordinance drivers Of auto
mobiles kept for hire must secure from the
license inspector a permit showing that
the driver not only has sufficient technical
knowledge Of the machine he Is 20 drive.
but that he has no physical or mental
weakness. This is all right as far as It
goes. says License Inspector Schneider,
but he wants the ordinance amended to
include drivers Of private machines not
kept for hire.
The new ordinance requires an examina-
tionof the driver Of automobiles kept for

address Of the owner OF the machine

In case Of accident, occasioned by a ma
chine kept for hire. responsibility can be
traced BY this licensing system, and the

edge Of the owner or not II he drove it

owner, then the owner could be held liable

Inspector Schneider says there are about
twenty-five automobiles in Omaha kept for
hire. None have as yet put up bonds, as
required by the new ordinance, and only
sixteen have secured licenses. All have
been notified that licenses must be taken
out and bonds deposited not later than
Monday on pain Of prosecution.

SPEEDWAY MOTORCYCLE RACES

NEW YORK, July 3l.-Each year the
Fedc alton OF American Motorcycles holds
4 national race meet where all champion
ships, professional and amateur events, are
ptI,d OF. While this race meet, hereto

As soon as it vas learned that the races

CO. lie made on account of the remarkable
san utn service and banked curves, the
mo,oI-yuie manufacturers began to CON

tho. aspect to carry off honors.
Loaizing that powerful motors would be
necessary to make a good showing, It is
SAD hat the makers are constructing ma
chine Tor this event that have a speed
.a.i. e considerably better tina 100 miles
an hour. one can hardly realize that any
Hu.ran being would care to risk his life In
, diaE a motorcycle at this terrific speed,
yet there are many riders who seem to
nave no fear.
Another feature that is causing increased
interest to be taken In these races is the
fact that they will be the first on the
Indianapolis motor speedway. The motor
cyclists are determined to hang up records
that win never be touched by the fasSAt
automobiles; in fact, they expect to chris
ten the famous track with a lOO-mlle hour
record the first day.
Heretofore Los Angeles. Cal, has offered
the best track for racing purposes and most
OF the fastest and most daring riders have
been camping in that territory. But word
has been received that practically all OF
these riders have already departed for
their respective factories to test out the
new machines they expect to ride at the
national meet.

TEACHERS and EXAMINATIONS.

Representation that the teachers
of Honolulu are rising in wrath
against the order of the Department
of Public instruction that all teach
ers shall take examinations at the
end OF the year is Misrepresentation.
The truth is that good number
of teachers and a greater number or
ci,izens interested in the public
schools believe an injustice will re-
suit from such n sweeping order OF
the Department. They know that
while examinations should not be
eliminated from the department
scheme for selecting teachers, II is
unjust and unnecessary to require
teachers of long experience ana
proved efficiency to go through the
rack and worry of an examination
in studies they do not teach, and In
which they passed examinations
months or years ago.
II does not yet appear why the
Department of Public Instruction
should enforce an order that will re-
suit in more injustice than improve
ment of the service in the public
schools.

HAWAII and The RUSSIANS.

Hawaii has never received bet
ter appearing lot of immigrants
than the Russians who have arrived
here under the auspices of the Ter
ritorial Board of immigration. The
men. women and children are
healthy, bright-eyed and self-respect-
ing In their bearing.
Now comes the rub of what they
will do with the opportunities Offer
ing them in the islands.
The treatment they receive on the
plantations should be of character
to prove beyond all doubt that II the
Russian is failure as a colonizer
and WORKER In Hawaii, the fault must
be with the Russian, and not with
the operators Of the main industry.
There is every reason why this
immigration should be made success
II possible. The Russians are nearer
Honolulu. II will be much less ex.
pensive to land them In the islands
than the Europeans brought around
the Horn. They appear to be ready
to come In large numbers and would
make desirable source OF supply
until such time as the opening of the
Panama Canal reduces the distance
from Honolulu to southern Europe
Molokans were such complete
failure, let us hope that these people
fr' m Hardin will go to the extreme
( OF success.

What SHOULD Be Done.

Enlightened citizens of Honolulu
do not lose sight of the fact that
under its franchise from the Terri
tory of Hawaii the Mutual Telephone
Company Is in duty bound to give
its patrons in this city and In the
country an efficient, modern service.
The fact that this has not been
done in the past. the fact that the
telephone service has been a stand
ing disgrace to the city and a
source of much evil language and
ruined dispositions in the past
should have been sufficient cause to
jeopardize the franchise, and was In
fact the reason why competition was
threatened.
Promises of the new stockholders
TO merely do their duty under the
franchise they hold, and under their
responsibility to their patrons, is not
ana never will be competent argu-
ment for special favors, which at
some time during the life of the fran
chise may be transferred to others,
though the b e n Is reliably
informed that the control of the
company is so held now that there is
very little prospect of change during
the next few years.
Consequently the consideration OF
the proposed agreement with the
Board of Supervisors. started pri-
marily, as we understand 1t. to re-
lieve the telephone company of the
fee levied for digging up the streets,

try service, or go ahead anyway and
the Supervisors be blowed.
The b leti n believes in the
general lines of the proposed agree
ment; II believes in putting the
wires underground; 1t believes In
improving the city.
II also believes that the proposed
agreement can be put through the
Board of Supervisors, but not with
the blum and gun and lampooning OF
the city Supervisors that has charac-
terized the progress of events thus
far.
II the parties interested in the
telephone company were to change
places with the Supervisors. we be-
lieye we may be mistaken, but
leave II TO our readers OF experience
in local affairs - that Supervisor
Carter would be demanding corpora
tion control in great style, though
not as noisily as Bill Aylett. who
might be the spokesman for the cor
poration.
Therefore, since the telephone
company by the statement of its at
torney-organ - and an article that
might well have been written by
Mr.. r,lrter. so well does 1t express
views he has Xpressed-states that
II desires only to promote the well
fare of the city and do business in
an ideal manner with the Supervis-
ors, why should 1t be impossible to
further consider the telephone agree
! ment, accept some Of the amend.
ments and thus get good civic re.
suit instead of a continuous row.
Whether rightly or not, the atti'
tude of the telephone company as SCI
! forth In the attorney-organ is one
of defiance: II the Supervisors don't
do as the corporation says, they may
go-to; II the city does not see fit t.
do as the telephone company tells II
to do, 1t can go without.
Today the b letin is assured
! by Mr.. Carter that this is not the
intent of the company.
Such being the case, we woult
suggest that the telephone compan!
as well as the Supervisors reconside
the underground wire agreement
and with full community under
standing an agreement will b,
reached. signed. sealed and delivered
That will be better for all con
cerned.
