ing of Queen street bridge, be re-
appropriated for engineering and sur
veying work, etc., was granted. Mr..

MAKING uNGUISTs OF our CHILDREN

No less an educational authority than DR.
Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia
university, believes that the United States must
reyolutionize it's methods of teaching languages
before there can be hope for further profitable
intercourse, intellectual or commercial with
Europe In particular, he declares that French
and German should be familiar to every child
in the schools. ~
Here are some Of his interesting ideas on the
subject: .., ~
"When we began teaching languages in the
American universities We imported foreign in
structors. The foreigners, however, could not
maintain discipline and were gradually re-
placed by native teachers, many of whom,
though excellent scholars themselves, were hard
" able toconyerse in foreign tongue.
"The belief has arisen that it is unnecessary
really to speak French and German Thou
sands OF educated Americans visiting Europe
annually are proving the fallacy of this dictum
English certainly is sufficient to carry tourist
parties from hotel to hotel, but it is impossible
to obtain true idea of foreign lands and their
valuable culture without being able to converse
with the inhabitants. ..s. -. . .
as Interchange of professors in American and
European universities, so beneficial to the cause
both of international peace and international
scholarship, positively cannot be developed
properly because SO few American professors
are to be had who can talk to a French or Ger
man audience The choice should be from 5,00O
professors, but the number is really nearer
twenty-five 80

FORCING Down INSURANCE RATES

Mayor RoIph of San Francisco has recently
forced a slashing reduction in fire insurance
rates in California, and the story of his victory
after long battle is of more than passing mo-
ment in Honolulu.
Rolph promised change in insurance rates
il he should be elected, declaring that for five
years past the Golden Gate city had been one of
the richest fire insurance fields in the country,
and that although the city had carried out its
promised program of constructing a splendid
new water system and cleaning up the dis
tricts where the heaviest fire hazards were es-
tablished, the insurance men had not reduced
their rates. .-..
On the day he took office he began to ham
mer at the insurance companies Some two
weeks ago he brought the matter to a climax. He
proved his figures. The insurance men and the
city appointed compromise committee and this
committee upheld the mayors contention. The
result was a reduction of % or 80 per cent in
the rates and total saving to San Francisco
Of 81 900 900 yea, five per cent. on $50, 900.
Further reductions are promised when San
Franeisco's new highpress1re system is com
pleted
Protests against fire rates in Honolulu have
been often uttered here during the past three or
four years, and the board of underwriters has as
often promised reductions when Honolulu
should construct modern, efficient water sys-
tenn and do away with some of the worst of the
tenementhouse risks This work is now under
way.
What Honolulu needs is q campaign as az
gressive as that of Mayor Rolph's, "a campaign
that will not brook delay in improving the
Waterman system and yTiping out some Of the
worst conditions in the eongested district west
OF Fort street The board 81 health is already
doing splendid work which has a direct bear
ing on lessening the fire hazards.
Rolph's victory was won by the sheer force
Of dominant personality which combined and
harmonized all the elements Indirectly occupied
in the task to which he had set himself directly.
1t should not take more than a year for Homo
lulu to complete its own task. There is encour-
agement and good lesson in San Franciscos
example.

CAMPAIGN HUAOR

The Advertiser wakes almost tearfully hys-
terical this morning because people refuse to
take it's "straw vote" seriously. Moreover the
morning paper accuses the STAR-BULLErIN of
@applauding this attempt at ballot-stuffing' !,
which this paper did not do. What the STAR,
BULLETIN did was merely to print the fact that
a member of the Elks' club had attempted to
vote forty-five straight ballots for the Republic
an ticket and that the Advertiser had refused to
count these ballots in the returns.
We refuse to get angry because the Advertiser
is peevish enough to call names; the straw-vot
ing is furnishing a rare bit of humor to rather

William Randolph Hearst having tried with
out result to dictate Wilson's platform, he is now
suggesting, in hysterical cables from Paris, that
the Democratic party entirely abandon its time
honored free-trade doctrines and recognize that
American wants protection. In his unblushing
chase of popularity regardless Of consistency,
w. r. is getting dangerously close to the style
of another and more familiar set of initials.

Once more horrible crime has been COM
mitted here as direct result of an orgy of poor,
half-crazed unfortunates soaked with 'dago red".
The killing of William Reynolds in carnival
of drink on Tuesday night apparently, is not
murder with malice aforethought; it was MUIR
der by some man who is probably harmless when
sober but utterly and dangerously irresponsible
and vicious when saturated with the cheap
booze that stupefies the moral sense but fires
the weak brain to violence.

humGrless campaign; and as we all enjoy a
hearty laugh at the breakfast table, by all means
let this matutinal amusement be continued.
Meanwhile, however, the morning paper might
explain why it did not include the city and
county attorneyship candidates on it's straw bal.
lot of Thursday. Was it because John w. Cath
cart would have been so overwhelmingly in evil
dence?

The best men are Indifferent to the
a1lurements of wealth, but have
observed. my son, that even the bish-
ops face brightens if you tell him
that sugar stock has gone up! 1t
means a good deal to him, you see,
though he may not own any himself.
And, my lad. although love is oft
ener than not an impecunious chap
when he leads you to the maiden Of
your choice, you may discover that 1t
makes a good deal of difference to
her what may be the cash value of
your offer, and she may pause to in
vestigate your financial standing with
the matter-of-factness of Bradstreet
index before she agrees to invest her
virgin capital.
It's all right, my boy; as the world
goes, it's business, but 1t may shock
you a little. at first. Whatever you
do, don't let it make a woman-hater
of you.

time, when nobody's around. It's a
beautiful side, and it's true, you bet
