national strength, wars cost is more terrible
than the ordinary mind can comprehend. Yet
disarmament is probably far in the future. The
Carnegie peace foundation aims to strike at the
bottom of the problem and begin where prog
fess can be made.
Dr. Eliot is one of the men his country has
loved to honor and to crown with laurel. His
visit to Hawaii on this tour properly ranks as
great occasion in a high and dignifed sense.
And it is gratifying to know that an oppor-
tunity is to be given the people of Honolulu
al the people-to meet DIR. and Mrs Eliot. An
Informal reception and garden party will be
held on the Dillingham; grounds next Tuesday
afternoon from four to six O'Clock. 1t is an oc-
casion on which Honolulu should send forth a
great and representative gathering. The Star
Bulletin has been asked by the Harvard club
to extend through its columns cordial invita-
ton to everyone, as no formal invitations have
been issued.

SAMUEL UNTERMYER ANENT
THE BANKERS.

Eankers of the country have chosen
to impede rather than aid the labors
of the committee of the House of Re-
representatives., which is just now CON
Quoting an, inquiry into banks anG
banking From some motive that
needs much explaining the banks
have adopted course of observation
BY their attitude they seem to. say
1T is none of the Nations business
and therefore none of the peoples
business how we conduct our affairs.
The manifestation of this spirit has
been carried so far, and has been
evinced so eAectively to the embar-
rassment of the House Committee,
that Samuel Untermyer, attorney for
the committee. says the inquiry will
have to be abandoned unless the Sen
ate shall pass the bill now before thai
body defining the scope of the inquiry
the powers OF the committee and
making the latter effective.
1t is certainly difficult for the aver
age man to understand, Judging al.
things in a spirit of honesty, why
there should be necessity for mid
night finances; why there should be
secretiveness and mystery. and the
insistence upon a holy of HOLES
within which the public must not step
or look. The public cannot and viii
not dismiss the thought that it fur
nishes the money for the conduct of
the banking business; that with the
use of that money there is the deyel
opment of financial power; and that il
has every right to know whether or
not that power is being exerted in
its interests or to its detriment. =

VOTING ON SUGAR

Senate consideration of the sugar tariff next
Friday or Saturday will be taken not on the
Authoritative and scientific report that Presi-
dent Taft has demanded and consistently
worked for, but on mass of uncompleted data
turned over by the now defunct tariff board,
and on the freesugar bill that passed the house
as political measure.
Under these circumstances leading sugarmen
of the country cannot regard the senate action
| as dictated by mature and sober judgment.
Whether the seIiates attitude will be favorable
to the tariff as it stands, for moderate revision
or for a serious modification, it will not be the
result of scientific investigation of the facts in
the case.
The tariff board was formed in October,
1909 1t made comprehensive Investigations
into the schedules that at that time seemed most
important and upon which complaint was most
general, that is, the woodpulp and paper, wool
and cotton.
jss When the sugar tariff became an immediate
issue, the board had just begun its investigation
of the industry Itswas also attempting to in
|vestigat6 the leather industry and making CLOS
saries of the leather and silk schedules. Con-
gress, in the impatient way Congress sometimes
has, refused further money for the tariff board
work, and the board automatically went out of
existence on June 90. It's incomplete data on
sugar and other industries were turned over to
the president 4s.ss. a.s., -,
& President Taft still stands by the board. He
reiterated his belief in it by plank in his Chi
cago platform. 1t is unfortunate that just at a
time when the sugar industry needs intelligent
and impartial investigation, it's future should
depend largely on undigested facts and political
parley.
The Star Bulletin, however, is not at all pes
simistic as to the sugar tariff. The senate is
not likely to take undigested allegations for
conclusions, and the presidents firm stand is
admirable as we'll as reassuring

TIRED Of CONTROVERSY

4EAs 8sk4
The voterssOf Hawaii are alphabetically tired
Of the Kuhio-Frear controversy as an issue al
this time. -
The voters of Hawaii, leeftainly the great ma
jority of them, believe that President Taft and
Secretary Fisher will settle the truth of Dele
gate Kuhio's charges by an impartial investiga
ton, and are willing to let the results of the
investigation settle the controversy
The voters of Hawaii want campaign this
fall waged ON its merits and on the issues di-
rectly concerned in the election of capable men
and the defeat of incapable men,
If any proof OF these three statements were
needed, it is furnished in the Republican pre-
cinct club elections Hast night The Kuhio-
Frear CONTROVERSY at kast was mot burning
issue The clubs have not divided into IKuhio
and Frear factions, and this is. gratifying proof
positive that Repubiican voters Of the territory
do not want agitation Of this question now.
Their anxiety, their activity, their interest are
enlisted in good tickets for the board ofgsuper-
visors, the senate, the house of representatives.
Such a situation as Hawaii faces today can
be met by prompt action to eliminate the Frear-
Kuhio controversy from the territorial cam
paign tslxa4N
No decision could strengthen the Republican
leaders with the Republican party in Hawaii
more than decision to keep this controversy
from entering into the fall campaign 1t would
do more lit would stamp the party as willing
to forget factionalism when SO much greater is
sues are involved, and would command the re-
spect and support Of voters at large who know
the disaster Hawaii faces from divided strength
during rather critical period Of her political
and industrial history.

A thorough test Of the "reyolving fund law

Honolulu is fortunate in having as a visitor

Dr. Eiiots many years of publicsserv are

of all,-the advancement of world peace. He
undertook the trip around the world at the re-

SO much to spread an active propaganda on this

the present-day thought of other nations on the
subject of peace, so that the financial and educa-

be most effectively applied to the problem.

LIBERIA ADDED.

Americans, whose memories go back
to the days when the. United States
was wholly a debtor nation and when
it's influence in international affairs
was solely of that limited type set
forth as proper by Washington in his
farewell address, often sit up with
more of less sstonishment now as the
cables tell of loans, from Wall street
to Japan or to Germany, or of official
action by the state department foster
ing American financiers' efforts to
conserve the credit of China in. Asia
or Liberia in Africa. Put with these
items the fact that trained American
advisers have aideo Siam, Japan, Per-
STA and China in recent radical peliti-
cal transformations, and it becomes
apparent that a new era of American
influence has opened.
Latest news from Liberia as to sat
isfscsory adjustment of certain Ger
man claims upon the republic by the
American adviser now cooperating to
restore stability to that republic, will
at least temporarily remind citizens
of the United States that there are
new chapters opening in one of the
sentimental experiments in which the
nation first INDUCED while trying 20
meet the issue of negro slavery. Ii

to materially alter the home situa-
ton.

kALAkAUA Ayenue NEGLECT.

Editor star Bulletin, Sir:
Just once in the last sixteen years
have repairs been made on Kalakaua
avenue All other roads and public
thoroughfares in Honolulu have re-
ceived attention. but apparently this
one has been forgotten.
Certainly the neglect is not due to
the fact that Kalakaua avenue does not
need il, nor to the failure of residents
and property owners to protest; the
dust is so heavy that on windy days
the homes nearby are almost untenable.
and in wet weather portions of this
road are almost impossible.
What is the reason for this neglect?

THE PRESS and
the PEOPLE
KENT's GOOD EXAMPLE.

Golconda Billy Kent has decided to
run for Congress again, but will have
his name placed on the ballot by Pc
tition, and not attempt to masquerade
as Republican. Not being Repub-
lican, this is the only honest course
for him to pursue. The voters will
have no difficulty in finding his name
if they want to mark a cross after it,
and they will respect him the more
because he has not resorted to trick
| cry to catch unwary votes by false
pretensiOns.
Kent has not been success as a
Congressman. He has accomplished
nothing and has made little effort to
dc anything. He severed relations
with the Republican minority in the
House, while the Democratic majority
had no use for, a political maverick.
| That he was without influence at
Washington was the logical outcome
of the situation he had created for
himself Government in legislative
by party, and Kent was man with
out party. If reelected he will find
himself, at the best, one of small
third-party clique in the next Con-
gress, and still without appreciate
influence in that body.
But he should be commended for
coming out in his true colors, and pub
licly acknowledging what he has pri-
vately asserted for several years, that
he is neither Republican nor DEM
ocrat. Now If he will reform his ways
in another particular, decide to stand
on his personal merits instead OF
spending fortune as $he did two
years ago to influence public opinion,
be will be entitled to a larger meas
ure of respect-Sacramento Union.
