LETTERS ON TIMELY TOPICS

ceres pOndence from the governors
party on board the Thetis. To my
! certain knowledge. this is the first
, time the Z-Ray has been used in news
paper communication. though scien-
! fists have for some years been bring
! ing it into a state of perfection.
a word about the Z,Ray from
scientist may not be amiss. as there
! is considerable doubt in the layman
! mind on this subject. The Z-Ray was
discovered by Dr. l.. E. Armed, Phd..
! LID. F.R.G.S. and WXY.f.Z.. early
in the year 1909. while experimenting
with the N-Ray. The Z-Ray is at the
extreme end of the chrOmatiC scale,
measured in terms of light 1t has
vibration OF $4,000, goo, 100000 per
second, which gives it its remarka bic
power of penetration. Unlike the
wireless or Hertzian wave, it travels
best in daytime. The Tray can
circle the globe over a billion times
per minute. AS a means of communi-
cation, scientists regard it as I'M
eXcelled.
The Z-Ray or "thought-waye," as
have noticed your paper calls it, is
wave of the fourth dimension, whose
coefficient is thus expressed:
Xxx plus 2y--HH2 equals .0007111144.
Its principle is that of atmospheric
sound waves, just as the HertZian
wave, but so strong are the waves
that there is no need for a head
phone. the operator receiving the mes
sage being able to take it down d.
rectly The sound wave is also OF
such frequency that it causes the
diaphragm to vibrate with a speed
greater than the naked eye can de-

the sound may be photographed, which
IS exceedingly important. The beam
Of light is refracted from miunte
crystal prism at known angle but
unknown traps, and by clever cleo
trical arrangement, MAY be made to

The Z-Ray gives great promise of

that here is the Hawaiian Islands,
where the common or garden variety

BAR ASSOCIATION POLITICS l

The warm discussion in the Bar Association
didates for office here shows quite concluSvrly
that politics is playing part in the association,
even though the members do not wish it. Tn
fortunate indeed is the situation when the dis
Etrict attorneys office is dealt with as Il political
job, yet the Bar Association itself yesterday set
a line of temarcation between the judgcships
and the federal attorneyship, calling one side
political and the other one nOn-poitical. 1t oc-
ours TO the lay mind to wonder why, if the
Judges represent non partisanshp, such weight
is given the statement that the South Carolina
delegation is unit for Judge Edings us a mem-
Der of the Hawaiian circuit bench, and why the
fight for Judge Edings is led by his fellow party
members -.
Indeed, the discussion of political utilization
seems to outweigh that of personal qualifica-
tions. The bar association nevertheless has rec
ognized merit on the bench by Endorsements of
four judges for reappointmeut.
The opposition to Judge Kingsbury appears
to have been coming to a head for long time.
Seine weeks ago attorneys began discussing the
question of a successor for the Maui man. 1t
has been urged against Judge Kingsbury that
he flouts juries and attorneys alike and handles
cases with little regard for the feeling of the
learned counsel in the case Withal it may be
we'll to remember, in this day when, the delays,
the wearisome ,technieaiities ofgthe law, sub
jected to SO much criticism, that Judge Kings
bury has again and again lifted his voice in adj
vocacy of colnmon-sense dealing with court
cases and that he has DECLINED to be bound by
what he considers merely trivial and outworn
customs He has shown backbone and indie
pendence at least + - :

to, in the late campaign, by the Bull Moosers as
an example of the power of that party, headed
of course by Col. Roosevelt, to enlist under the
banner of beneficence to all many politicians

theory, Col Roosevelt saw no harm in accepting
large campaign contributions from the Pitts

EXPERIENCE WITH THE RECALL

The New Orleans Times-Democrat points gu
a flaw in Shreveports $. c6minission government
that illustrates the very danger. Honolulu shouI,
avoid i'm dealing with the reealf-that of .makih:
the recall too easy, SO that the city is kept in
constant turmoil of elections. The Times Dem
ocrat says:
Seattle has made itself very conspicuous lately in
the matter of the recall. removing a number of Off
Gals including the mayor, and to its excuses and
those of other cities in the matter is due to
large extent the reaction that has latterry set in
against that eminently democratic measure the re-
cali, and the defeat in Tuesdays election of the
Louisiana recall Amendment No 10.
The case of Shreveport has helped to intensity
that prejudice. Its people have been twice asked,
within two years of the adoption of its commission
government to vote az recall elections and to
four of its five nssioners. In the light of
this experience. Louisiana voters viewed the recall
. demoralizing and dangerous, and overlooked the
fact that it is absolute necessity a commission
charter which gives the commissioners almost auto
cratic powers. In such it is the only protec
ton of the people against official tyranny, a warn
ing to the commissioners that if they go too far if
they arbitrary ii they neglect in any way the
demands of the people. or If they fail to perform
T. their duties efficiently, they be promptly
!. moved like any other incapable servant But the
Louisiana voters could not see this They saw only
the expense, worry and vexatiOn of many elections
: and voted the recall down. This done by the
parishes we'll by the city
As a matter of fact. the question is entirely diff
ferent one for the state and the city. The recall is
nearly important for state parish officials,
whereas il is essential successful commission
government Very few states have made the recall
a part of their constitutions, but this provision is
written into all the commission charters. When,
therefore, Shreveport was granted commission
charter a recall provision properly inserted

requiring too few signatures recall petition, and
thus neCeSStating too many recall elections When,
therefore. came to the adoption of commission
charter for Ne" Orleans. the ring legislators
ceeded in eliminating any special recall provision
from it, and provided instead section which de-
Clared that the city would be bound by any recall
legislation the state might adopt and that the
missioners might be recalled under the same terms
and conditions state parish official, but when
it finally to preparing the recall amendment,
the city fought it savagcly. and succeeded in
rounding it with many conditions and limitations
that il was not likely would recall cleo
ton in a generation.
Having thus so weakened the amendment that it
was of little or value the leaders then set
TO work finally repudate it altogether and
slaughter it.
