p. CTR PLANNING

City planning, a subject now beginning to be
discussed in the right tone In Honolulu, is an
accepted. fact in several progressive American
municipalities. A few days ago mention was
made of the appointment of Charles MulforJl
Robinson, well.known here, to the professorship
of civic design at the University of Illinois. The
Outlook, commenting upon this and upon the
appointment of another great builder, Walter
Burnley Griffin, to design Canberra, the new
Australian capital, says: = .sss.s
eBoth events, in our opinion, are significant.
With regard to the latter, as we review interna.
tional education in civic design, we find that
courses in it constitute part Of the programs
OF some European universities. Turning to this
country, we find that for some years Harvard
and the University of Michigan have given
courses i'm the subject, but that these lectures
have been delivered by instructors in the depart
ment Of landscape architecture. Columbia has
had an outside lecturer on the subject Cornell
and the University of Wisconsin have recognized
it in their work, respectively, Of landscape arch
itecture and engineering But, so far as we
know Illinois is the first university to make civ
ic design distinct chair is to say, to es

A CARNIVAL PROGRAM
CRITICISM

Editor Honolulu Star-Bnlletin,
. Sir:-1 understand that Director
general Dougherty, of the 1914 Floral
Parade has declined to consider pay
ing the Chinese baseball team for
playing in a series Of games planned
for Carnival Week. Mr.. Dougherty
should perhaps be commended for his
stand I'm this matter. Nobody should
expect to make direct profit from the
Carnival. But how about the director
generals proposition for a Kirmess
large part of the proceeds of which
is to be devoted to charity? 1t
strikes me that this Is even less justi-
fled than in the case of the ball team.
earned during Carnival Week land by
properly" mean full value given for
every cent received) should be devot-
ed to making our great annual fete
bigger and better. All charges made
the public should be as nearly nominal
os possible, but should easily cover
expenses of the celebration and carry
q reasonable surplus for next year.
The Incorporation of the Carnival is
eminently the right idea, but it is not
the right idea to allow any individual
or organization to use the Carnival as
a private money-making scheme. With
all due Difference to the ladies who
would manage the .Kirmess, and for
the very worthy object for which they
would apply the money earned, It is
too dangerous a precedent to estab-
lish. The aim of the Carnival Com
pany should be not to see how much
money may be obtained from our WIS.,
itors, hut how much can be given
them for the least cost.

that the good people of the city Of
Honolulu don't get this editor a job
on the police or detective force; then,
perhaps, he could even up matters
with the 25th U. s. Infantry. l am
quite positive, If such was done, that
matters would be evened up one way

not to make a search for him until

that he had not been there.

their dinner, l sent detail to the

that the firing was in line with the

that Sergeant Napier took this road
and was struck by volley from the

The COLlE6IAE's ENGLISH

In recent article in the Harvard Alumni
Bulletin, w. r. Castle, Jr., member of the Har
yard faculty, puts his finger on an admittedly
weak spot in collegiate work English compost
ton Professor Castle has been making an in
resfigation Of some of the canses OF this recog
Dized weakness preliminary to q more extended
and thorough study, and his paper in the Alum,
ii Bulletin sketches briefly some of his early re
suits He says; i.s IL rs
NY purpose l. to discoyer.f possible whether 4,
students apply IN their other work the principles OF
composition learned In their English COURSES wheth
certain lines OF study better fitted than 9TH
ers to develop powers Of expression; whether rs-f

the average American student lies primarily with
the school with the college, and finally what the
remedy may be- $50
-That college writing Is poor faf inferior In form
to corresponding work In the English universides
there be no doubt In the mind Of anyone who has
had much to do with American college work who
has had an opportunity OF comparison. The reasons
for this are many. Our boys do not read as good
books as the English boys read Our newspapers are
not as well written are the English newspapers.
These causes are general and cannot be remedied
through any academic investigation of the subject.
But may be able in schools and colleges at least
partly to overcome their Influence. Do we for ex-
ample insist on the truth that no fact can be made
important 70 the world unless IL Is so clearly stated
that the world must understand? Do sufficiently
relate our composition to all other courses
insisting that composition is end In itself but
only means toward an end? Do we make clear
that translation means the changing of idomatic
French or Latin into equally idomatc English
There is much to agree with in the above. One
point may fairly be questioned. Professor Cas-
tie compares writing in American and English
newspapers, to the detriment of the former Now
it is fact that in niceties of certain STYLE in
freedom from coiloquialisms and slang, English
newspapers are ahead of their American col
leagues. On the other. hand, so great Brit
fish publicist as Lord NOrtheliffe on his recent
tour, of America praised American newspaper
writing for it's vigor, brevity, clarity of express
sion and pithy phrasing, frankly admitting that
British writer's are prone to dull ponderosity
Alfred Kenealy, Of the Mirror, voiced the same
thought in slightly different language. There
ne papers like the New York Evening Post, aud
Chicago Tribune, the New York Sun, that will
compare fayorablyi in stylstic qualities with the
British tlailes. ~~~'

EDITOR
REPUBLICAN, PARTY REORGANIZATION

An authoritative statement as to the future of
the Republican party is the leading article in
the last number of the Saturday Evening Post,
statement Of exceeding significance It's au.
thor is Senator Albert B. Cummins.
There is a movement on foot for the reorgan,
ization of the Republican party 1t has sure
foundation. The writer is confident it will sue
coed; and having been a part of it from the be-
ginning, he has had assigned to him the agree
able duty of putting down in plain understand
able words, what it is and what it seeks to ac-
complish" 49,: ..> ~
Thus Senator Cummins begins his article, in
the course of which he discusses the Republican
national convention of 1872, tile causes for the
Progressive split, and the possibilities for the
reunion of the great mass OF Republicans
These possibilities are set forth so strongly
by Senator Cummins that he carries inevitable
conviction. He believes, and gives plenty of rea-
sons for believing, that the nine million normal
Republican votes were split over issues that have
not permanently affected the underlying unity
of party affiliation He sets forth two matters
of party rule that must be reformed, as follows:
First, the misrepresentation given to certain
states in which the party is not strong enough to
be factor in either state or national affairs.
This applies particularly to the Southern states,
which, under the present party rules, WELD an
undue influence because they have a large rep
resentation for comparatively small party
vote. ss =.@44 III. *.5se. ~. ~ =. v =.
Second, the authority of the national commit
tee to determine who shall sit in the convention.
Senator Cummins, discussing the needed
changes, declares that the national committees
power must be curtailed, SO that it may not un-
der any circumstances so mould party affairs
as to deny full representation to any element in
the party. tn .....->.. ..-~.:
OF interest to Hawaii is the announcement in
Senator Cummings article that there will be al
meeting of the national committee on December
16, probably in Washington, and that party
leaders are planning a special Republican ma
tional convention AS the Star Bulletin mem
toned some weeks ago, the Republican state
convention in New York favored both of these,
moves toward party reorganization. -. i. u
Senator Cummins's article is straightforward
sincere full of constructive thought 1t height
ems the fast.growing belief among voters of Ha-
waii that the progressive men in American poll
tics will find the Republican party responsive to
their needs It's rehabilitation will take time i
it's purging will take determination and honesty );
its reorganization will take energy and Thought.
But it is quite evident that Republican leaders
are alive to the issues Of the hour.
