Government Ownership,

Postmaster General Hitchcock 4
ecent recommendation that the gov
eminent should acquire ownership
II the telegraph lines, following hard
upon the great victory of the Social
lists in Germany, should arouse con-
sentative men of affairs to realiza-
ton OF the vital necessity of a bet
ter knowledge on the part of the
American public of economic law
and of the grave dangers of inn
patient radicaIism.
Social discomfort moves in big
RoIld-waves; and the present con-
.Fol by the Socialists in Germany OF

While Mr.. Hitchcock's recommer-
!ation was nothing more than a po-
iitical move, nevertheless it will tend
70 arouse an i'll advised public clamor
for government ownership of the
'eleg 'aph. and therefore the facts
underlying government ownership
should be vigorously and clearly set
forth.
Back Of government ownership Of
public service industries in the Unit
ed States lie menaces and evils which
must be calmly faced before furthor
steps along similar lines are taken.
Foremost among the dangers is
the inefficiency which characterizes,
for example, the postoffice depart
nent. A study Of the postoffice de-
partmept Of the government will fur
nish adequate illustration Of what
might be expected II additional in
dustries We're to be taken over by
the government.
AT the bottom Of the inefficiency
OF the postoffice department lies the
incontrovcrtible fact that public SER
wants at the head of government
owned industries Inevitably divert
their efforts from their work to poll
tics.
Playing the game of politics re-
duees any mans efficiency. Political
prefefment demands political meth.
eds every time. In privately
owned industry, on the other hand
but one sole consideration Is OF
weigh in the advancemnt of its
personnel. Il Is their al1lity, thair
knowledge OF the industry, their ar
Sfciency in its conduct.
The hard headed business man
sees but one thing; what the man

Declare They Won't Yield to

PAVING CONTROVERSY
MAKES NO PROGRESS
Streetcar Company's Formal
Expression Referred to
Attorney

The Supervisors will stand pat on
their present attitude on paving, &C
cording to statements from members
of the board today.
They will insist that the Rapid
Transit Company pave with bitulithic
between its double tracks on King
Street, and If the company continues
to refuse to do SO. some of the Super.
visors favor carrying the matter to
the Governor, and instituting quo war
ranto proceedings locking toward an
annulment of the company's fran.
chise. They say that the Supreme
Court has held they have no discre-
tion in the matter Of paving, that the
Rapid Transit Company must pave in
conformity with the rest of the street,
and that they have already gone more
than half way in allowing the COM
pany to pave between the rails with
lava rock.
Last night the Supervisors received
letter from the Rapid Transit Com
pany informing them that the board
Is ready to proceed with q lava block
paving on King street, or with an
ohia block paving. The I7tter was
the result of q special meeaAg Of. the
company las. Eriday morning and was
published in the Star Bulletin that
afternoon. It puts the paving matter
up to the board BY stating formally
that the company Is ready to proceed
with the lava block paving.
The board, however, now refuses to
yield an inch further, said several SUI
peryisors today. The letter was re-
ferred to the county attorney. but the
city fathers declare that they will not
allow lava blocks between the double
tracks, and that the next thing in
order is action toward securing re-
vocation of the ,company's franchise
provided it does not make the conces-
sion of putting down bftuiithic be-
tween the tracks.

DR.. Charles w. Eliot, president en-
eritus of Harvard, sailed for the coast
on the China this morning after set
ting a record for strenuOusness that
made the young college men who have
been escorting him around hustle hard
to emulate.
He arrived shortly after daylight
this morning from his trip to the Vol
cano, went to the Moana hotel for
breakfast, saw to the shipment of the
baggage of his party. and then started
on line of sociological and industrial
investigation during the few hours
that remained to him IN Hawaii
Coming DOWN. town in an automo-
bile with Secretary r. s: HosIner Of
the Harvard club, the distinguished
scholar spent some time in conference
with President Pratt of the board Of
health, their topic Of conversation per-
tanning to the relation of medical
practice here to the social evil and
the prevalence and effect of the social
evil IN Honolulu and Hawaii general
ly.
From this President Eliot was taken
to the Honolulu Iron Works by Assist
ant Manager Dyer. DR.. Eliot wished
to get line on the Hawaiian as a
laborer and on the laboring classes
here, and he made thorough inspec-
tion of the iron works In short time.
Then DR.. Eloit was takeii to the
steamer, and arriving there early, he
told one of the men who had gathered
to bid him farewell that he hoped to
get little time for a look at Homo
lulu's shipping conditions before leav-
ing. However, he was the center of
an informal going-away reception on
the deck of the China and had no fur
ther opportunity of going ashore.
DR.. Eliot expressed himself as de-
lighted with the volcano. at is a
wonderful spectacle, and much more
than repaid me fof my visit" he said

he added with smile. II recommend
