IL believe the time is not far distant when our
municipal officers will be trained for their
work., says Dr. Woodhcad. 1--WE surely ought
to demand such training, instead Of expecting
the mayor to depend upon others. In Germany
the Oberburgermeister invariably knows more
about housing and similar subjects of his own
city than anybody else In America we require
no technical knowledge. Mayor Gaynor said
upon taking office that he knew nothing of the
work of the mayors office. Let us hope the time
is coming when our mayors will know something
about the many things they are supposed to di-
rect"
DIR. WUOdheads advice is sound providing it
is practical. No information is at hand to show
how he proposes to educate the mayors for their
work, the difficulty being that under any pres
ent elective system it is impossible to know more
than few days before Inauguration who is GO
ing to be the next mayor. Perhaps there will ul-
timatey be a university for mayors only gradu-
ates of which are eligible to run for office Or
perhaps DIR. WoOdhead would have the mayor
atty election a year or SO before the term of of
flee actually begins, SO that in the intervening
time the successful candidate may take a course
in municipal training. ~
AS matter of fact, one of the most obvious
flaws in the American system of municipal gov;
eminent is that usually the city officers are
trained for their work on the peoples time. Men
are elected not on the basis of what they have
done in progressive municipal work, but what
they have done in the law, or in business or, too
often, in politics. Most of their first term in Of
flee is spent in learning the fundamentals of
city government Honolulu is not the only
American municipality which has witnessed the
unfortunate spectacle Of city officials who not
only had no conception of the spirit of governing
"a city, but knew ridiculously little of the COM
monest methods of conducting public business.

UNCLE SAM GOING INTO THE OIL BUSINESS

OF particular interest to Hawaii is the exec
utive order of President Taft exempting from
entry the great area of 29,541 acres of oil land
in Kern county, California. To date $1,000
acres have been withdrawn, and the resulting
oil product will be used for the vessels of the
United States navy. This act has been hailed as
one of the most busnesslke acts of Taft's adj
ministration and particularly far-seeing thing
to do in view of the controversy over the nayys
use of oil.
The age of coal is certainly passing, and the
navy will some day be using millions of barrels
of fuel oil. Under such circumstances the Unit
ed States would be carrying out disastrous bus
mess policy if it had to 20 into the market and
buy oil from private owners, paying not only
what it cost the producer but also the producers
profit and the original cost of the land to the
producer Two Of these three prce-elements-
the cost of the land and the producers profit
will be eliminated when Uncle Sam produces his
own oil and supplies it to the navy at cost.
According to announcement from Washing
ton oil tanks will be erected as follows:
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii-One gasoline tank,
10000 gallons; one fuel oil tank, 100000 gal
Ions. / So
Guantanamo, Cuba-Five fuel oil tanks, each
100000 gallons. ....-r4a- -.-..... ... -..- . @.
Melville, r. Lone fuel oil tank, 7O0,O 600 gal,

Norfolk, Na.-One fuel oil tank, 100000 gal,

gallons.

LITTLE INTERVIEWS

". D. ADAMS-The koEa male
nightingales at the Empire are max
ing a decided hit With the public. Il
you don't believe it, just take a looE
st this house.
D. II. GILMORE-The bottom has
apparently dropped out OF the coas
passenger business when liners like
the Ventura sail for San Fran2isc :
with less than a score or traVe!erS
from. Honolulu
JAMES ROBERTSON-Hast the
time when all the local Oceanic stall
can don a new and immaculate uni.
form in greeting the arrivai of tho
trans Pacific liners. Nothing the mat
ter with that cap.
| DEPUTY CHIEF OF Detectives
KELLETT-That alleged speech thai
McDuffie is declared to have made be-
fore a delegation of Japanese at Tokyo
sounds rather like fish story. amer
lean journalism has apparently crept
in under the tent in Japan.
ALEX BELL-The wet weather has
held up work on the new golf course,
but when the land is cleared, and the
new holes made, the Country Club
will have as sporty an 1S-hole course
as can be found anywhere. Extending
the course will make better golf for
local players.
LIEUTENANT J. G.. WINTER-A
man never knows how much he likes
Honolulu until he gets away from it.
l had an interesting time at the School
of Muskerty at Monterey, but Im
mighty glad to be back again, and
mighty sorry that the Fifth Cavalry
is going to leave so soon.
}. WALTER DOYLE-If the wealth
er behaves and the public gives the
patronage the meeting deserves, the
New Years Day races will be a bang
up success in every way. The bigger
the hit at the coming meeting, the
better races We can stage curing the
floral festival in February.

SHERIFF HENRY and THE WHlPPING.POsI

High Sheriff Henry, who has declared him
self unalterably opposed to the establishment of
the whippingpost in Hawaii for no matter what
crime, has a suggestion for another form of pun,
ishment which he thinks would be far more eff.
fective than flogging The high sheriff says that
solitary confinement is terror to evil prisoners
and that it does not have the bestializing effect
which he believes would follow the use of the
lash. ...5
The sheriff says that his experience is that
fIogging not only does the man under the lash
little good, but the officials delegated with the
duty of carrying out the sentence are nauseated
or brutalized. His experience will be valuable
to the Citizens Protective Committee which will
shortly consider whether or not to recommend
the whippingpost in bills that will be presented
to the legislature.

Canal Zone after the canal is completed. What
is more, he is willing to accept the job at sal
airy $1,000 less than his present income as an
army engineer.
Col. GoethalS has always been known as a

started a movement to secure him to carry out a
great engineering scheme of levees that would
prevent the disastrous flood which the Father
of Waters occasionally visits along the valley.
Goethals could quit his present position and get
fifty or hundred thousand dollars year from
cities associated in this immense plan, but APP

its first troublesome days of infancy.
In this respect Goethals offers marked con-

and quit the canal at critical periods.
Col. Cocktails is a different stamp of individ-
ual! He proves that there are men in public life
who place service to their country above every
consideration of cash. And for this example the
country owes a vote of thanks to Goethals.

MAUD POWELL

Maud Powell is more than a mistress of the
violin; she is one of the foremost of Americans.
Ability, spirit of uncOnquerable industry, vital
lied in this woman of high character, have car
ried her along the road of achievement to the
point where Americans may well take nation
AZ pride in her success. She has won from jeal-
Gus critics of Europe a lively respect for Amer
lean muscianship. Madame Powell's appear
ance tonight is more than a musical affair, it is
an event in HonOlulu's onward march along
lines that mean quite as much to the ultimate
greatness of the city as material progress in steel
or sugar or politics or business.

TRAINING THE MAYORS

Advance along the lines of municipal govern
ment is rapid. The short-ballot system, the di
rect primary, the initiative, referendum and re-
call, the plan of running a city by regularly
employed manager, have all been adopted by
municipalities with varying degrees of success
Now comes still more advanced suggestion to
the effect that mayors of cities should be trained
for their work.
Dr. Howard G. WOodhead of the University
of Chicago faculty proposed this plan i'll an ad
dress before the City Club of Chicago. DR.
Wcodhead is noted sociologst and his novel
proposal has been given wide publicity.

OUR OBJECT LESSON

:ubject with Germany. The Turkish
army was trained and it's officers edu-
Gated under the German military sys-
tem.-Literary Digest.
Oh, bark We, Yankee soldiers! From
far across the sea
Comes the news that Turkeys fight
ing men were trained by Ger
nance!
That she faced the "Bull-Con" allies
single handed and alone
With a simple faith in Allah and our
deified Won Rohne.
And they say that on the morning that
the mighty battle broke.
That the German-tutorcd army van
ished in n whirl of smoke;
That their swords were all unSullied
and their guns were all forgot,
AS they sought the dim horizon in
hasty Turkey trot!
A Montenegrin major gave the flying
foe a glance,
Then rolled cigarette and scratched
match upon his pants:
And spake unto his gunners, Let EN-
have a few more jolts-
That is if your shells can catch EN-
they've been trained by Won der
Goltz."
A colonel Of Bulgarians then tossed
aside his coat
And yelled, Come on, me hearties!
Looks as if we had their goat!
LS,,lI 20 haf
ties merry whirl
While we show EN- how to do it
they've been reading Griepen-
kel!"
Away for Constantinople the hosts of
Allah sped,
And the only ones that halted were
the ones that stopped the lead;
Quote a SerVian lieutenant then.
" 'Tis evident to me
That yon army has been studying the
books of Won Molt-kee!"
Said a painting Turkish corporal
from German teaching freed
I'VE amt much on formation, but we
sure are h for. speed"
So they sprinted night and morning
It'll their lungs were fit to
burst,
But they won the six-day Marathon
they reached the city first!
A tale that points a moral. Most any
one can see
That it's time to DISREGARD the ways
of Jackson, Grant and Lee;
For the sacred Scripture tells US: "Ye
know them by their works."
So We lift out hats to Won der Goltz,
the man who trained the Turks!
And now while Europe trembles on
the verge of deadly fray,
The dove OF peace is cooling in :.he
good old u. s. A.
For, you bet, the foreign powers will
leave Uncle Sam alone
While our highbrows down at Leaven-
worth are studying Won Rohne!
And while the German eagle scars
above the Balkan storm,
1t strikes us as a fitting time to
change the uniform;
Let s get one or those shiny things
they wear across the breast,
And add cleaning helmet with an
eagle on the crest.
And down at sunny Leavenworth let
Dutch professors rule;
And build a model brewery-an annex
to the school
A marble bust of Won der Goltz re-
splendent in the hall,
And photographs of Kaiser Bill adorn-
ing eV'ry wall
And he who seeks promotion must
subsist solld year
On pretzels, cheese, and Wienerwurst,
and good old German beer;
And notify the colonels-sound the
warning near and far!--
That they've got to sing Die Wacht
am Rhein' before they get the
star.
Then here's luck to the Fatherland-
let's follow in her train,
And all take up the goose step when
we march to war again;
Our motto, made in Germany" tri-
umphant over fear
Our slogan "Hoch der Kaiser!" and
the countersign "Zwei Bier!"
