BREAKS ALL PRECEDENT.

A hundred years precedent broken at the

house of and told them what he thought
the two houses should do in the way of giving the
people of this country relief legislation from the bur-
dens that have been imposed upon them by the trusts
and combinations in restraint of trade One paper puts
it. the president has been demOcratzng the presidential

the United States have been altogether too exclusive
with the people and it is quite time to call halt Such
actions may suit people who bow and ape to kings and
queens but to free and easy people of proud republic

other kind of partisan Not only should the president
have hearttoheart talks with the senators and repre-
sentatves but he should frequently have similar talks
with his fellow citizens in general Less exclusiveness
the part of the president will doubly increase the
confidence the people in him. We predict unani-

his commonsense life in the discharge of his official

INCREASING INTEREST ON MUNICIPAL BONDS

The first claim made for public ownership is that
service be rendered cheaper, but when all proper
items of expense are included-such items private
enterprise must include if it is to veit will not be
found that there any very great difference in the
cost of supplying service between wellmanager pri
vate and public supplies, while poorly managed public
supplies make worse showing than poorly managed
private supplies. The subject is dealt with by Walter
S. Allen in the North American Review.
First of ALL it must be admitted that although the
accounting methods Of public service companies often
leave much to be desired that crainly in this country
at least municipal and governtal accounting methods
hopelessly antiquated and varied the whims
Of officials make them One important reason given
for public ownership has been the fact that municipal
tiles have been able to borrow money at lower rate
than companies. This has been true and is now, to
certain extent, but the rates for municipal loans
and public utility bonds have been steadily approach
ing another and this process is likely to continue

English cities running up tending to render

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP A DETR1MENT

c. G. Follmer well known business of Grand
Rapids Mich and keen observer, has returned from
trip to the Antipodes. Australia and New Zealand
have long been held up splendid examples OF mu-
ncipal ownership According to Mr. Follmer the coun-
tries are suffering because of government ownership,
and the domination of government by unions He
says:
Both in New Zealand and Australia they are
strong on government ownership of the railroads and
other public utilities and in utility developments both
countries lack that enterprise which private capital
displays New Zealand, for instance, has railroad.
Good lands accessible to the railroad worth $500
or 5000 an acre but few miles back the land has
value because there is way to get the products out
supplies in Private enterprise would build spurs
and thus develop the country but this is not the gov
ernment ownership policy. The same condition OBJ
tans in Australia In both countries organized labor
in control and this is not encouragement for pri
vate enterprise It is true they have compulsory arbi
traon to adjust disputes that may arise but the char
acter of the arbitration may be judged from the in
fuence that controls the government. Australia is
great country with an large the United
States but with population of only about five mil
lion 1t has great possibilities in the way of develop
ment but conditions are such that capital hesates
to go in and this has made development slow. p

POPULAR VOTE FOR SENATORS.

Another hundred year precedent was knocked into
a cooked hat, when sufficient number OF states OF
the Union voted to elect United States senators by
direct vote of the people In many states the prin-
cpe was practically in effect, but it not obhga-
tory for though a candidate might have been over
whelmingy endorsed at the polls in the State OF Wash
ington for United States SENATOR yet the legislature
could have turned him down and the election OF the
successful candidate would have been perfectly legal
but as it stands every seeking a senatorial
toga must go before the voters and be elected the
as the representatives Just why those who framed the
constitution ever made it otherwise are unable to
say but whether their intentions for good or bad
it worked bad for it has been good many years since
elected to the United States senate purely on
his merits 1t is safe to say that the State of Washing
ton never elected a to the United States purely
nhis merit and the most Of those elected to the
senate were backed by selfish interest though
of them became very loyal to the cause OF the
people after they had been seated.

REVISED VERSION

Cali things come to him who waits"
Some one wrote thus long ago,
Quoted round in divers states
1t is counted surely so!
But if I could have my way,
I should scorn this creed which numbs;
l should change it round and say,
''All things wait to him who comesl"
I would rather dig right in,
l would war with chance and see
If l not quickly win.
Waiting's easy, that fact
Loafers like to twirl their thumbs;
But achievement thus is backed
All things wait to him who comes!
Waitings for the men who fail;
Winners try through storm and stress
Stubborn striving must avail
In the struggle for success
'Tis by effort strong and true
That the wheel of progress huns
Therefore, friend, l say to you,
All things wait to him who comes

FRIGHTENING OLD
BUSINESS BLOCKS

Bishop & Co.'S bank building was
lately treated to new dress of silver
gray paint, the example being follow
ed with the adjacent Rhodes and
Davies buildings. In the case of the
Rhodes building, newly occupied by
the Bishops bank extension and the
Davies grocery department, the front
and interior have been renovated, and
with the painting the old iron shutters
on both stories permanently removed.
This has made a great improvement
in appt aranceS. That side Of Kaa-
humanu street for it's whole length,
including the older frontage of T. II.
Davies & Co., looks bright in its soft
new cOlOrng Now the building Of
F. A. Schaefer & Co., at the corner Of
Merchant and Kaahumanu streets, is
being similarly dressed and its iron
shutters on doors and windows have
come down never to go up again. All

lures in that locality ought to make
