A LOBBYIST, 1918 STYLE

President Wilson retaliates upon
Ex-Governor Carter, of Hawaii, for
his statement or intimation that the
president has not kept faith in his
assurance that the sugar interests
had nothing to fear" by canoeing an
appointment with the indiscreet Ha-
waiian visitor. There was a president
once who would have disposed of the
temerarious Carter by consigning him
to the Ananias Club. But we have
fallen on more polite times, though
men are liars ever. Why did ex-Goy-
ernor Carter dare to diRulge the story
of an understanding with the presi-
dent, whether he had it or not, and
whether it was violated or not?
But we guess the president is some
thing of a politician himself. The
grandstand presidential coup against
the, ''insidious lobby could not have
been beaten. BY Roosevelt. The presi-
dent not only puts the lobby on the
defensive, but he gags any open ex-
preston of resentment by the sena-
tors, who know that the most eff
fective lobbying being done now at
Washington is from the White House.
Note the gingerly manner in which
even the standpatter Gallinger refers
to the presidential activities for the
tariff bill
OF course the president is no mere
vulgar lobbyist. He is playing high
politics. That is it. The unhappy VIC
tins of his tariff policy, who are ap-
pearing at washington in person, or
through their representatives, paid
and unpaid, are the lobbyists.
A lobbyist, 1913 model, is an unde-
sirabIe citizen who ventures to show
his brazen face at Washington in OPP
position to something President Will
son wants.--Portland Oregonian.

ALASKA ASKS SOME
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS

A territorial board of education
and two superintendent of schools
are asked for by the Alaska legisla-
ture in a memorial just transmitted
to congress. The petition recites that
although Alaska now has a white
population of 10000 with 5000 chill
dren attending the ~ white public
schools, there is as yet no terri
torial board of education. examining
board, or superintendent to govern
such schools"
The legislature asks that the board
of education be made up of the gov
ernor, secretary ard treasurer of the
territory, and that it appoint the two
superintendent OF schools. The
board is TO have power to grant ter
ritorial educational diplomas, life
diplomas" and "first-grade certifi-
Gates to properly qualified teachers.

NO EXCUSES WILL Be TOLERATED

E
The board of supervisors can furnish the peo-
pie of this city no excuse that will be accepted if
they fail to come to the aid Of the INDECENT tber
culosis patients for whom now there is no guar
anteed support
The supervisors saw fit a few days ago to raise
a large number of municipal salaries. They not
only restored to the original figures salaries that
were cut in temporary fit of economy six
months ago, but they boosted salaries that were
not cut six months ago and have been entirely
high enough.
If the supervisors can afford to raise salaries
thousand dollars or so month, they can af-
ford to appropriate out of the general funds the
$3.50 that lis now called for in the care of indi-
gent sick.
The proposal is made that the city fathers di-
vert the $3.50 monthly appropriation now made
for the promotion committee to the fund for
these tubercular patients. With the spirit which
declares that the care of the sick is more neces
sary than the entertainment of the well, we are
in harmony, but there is no reason why Honolulu
must make choice between the two purposes
The men elected by the taxpayers of Honolulu
to look after city finances have not hestated in
an unwarranted salary-raise. No plan now that
involves the cuttingoff of the promotion fund
should be tolerated. 1t is clearly up to the board
to take care of the cty's sick and to continue its
promotion fund Also

WIPE OUT SCHOOL POLITICS

Superintendent Gibson and the commission
ers of public instruction correct in their at
titude that the dropping of Principal G. L. Cope
land, Of Maui, is 'for the good of the depart
ment''
Mr. Copeland has been one of several disturb
ing elements in the department, and the decree
of Justice demands that every disturbing ele7
ment be removed finally from any position
where it might be active. Principal Copeland is
of the aggressive, vigorous and persistent type
that would continue activity if given any posi-
ton in the department of education. He has
been an ''insurgent" under several administra-
tons He has been the leading insurgent of the
Pope administration and it was Copelandism
that split the department until Governor Frear
was forced to take hand.
Governor Frear's jurisdiction did not extend
to the supervising principals. He made what
amounted to a clean sweep in the ranks of the
school commissioners. Both factions We're
dropped from the hoard. As nearly as he could,
the governor wiped the departments slate clean
and gave it a fresh start.
1t was plainly the duty of the commissioners
to oo down into the ranks of the department sub
ordinates and continue the slate-wiping process.
So much was only Justice. So much was pre-
caution against future factionalism. Mr.. Cope
land is admittedly the head and forefront Of the

nrecaution demanded his removal We do not
doubt that he himself will admit the fairness of
this point of view.
