SUPPOSE

Suppose the civil engineers of Hawaii would
hold convention as the sugar mill engineers
are to do next week--shppose the civil engineers
were to take up such matters as road construc.
tion, sewerbuilding, bridge7building, tenement,
house problems would not the result be of great
benefit to Hawaii? OF course it will be said that
the mill engineers are meeting in the interests of
an industry instead Of municipal and territorial
government. But that is not a real distinction.
The welfare Of the city is particularly personal
matter toseach resident of the city. Better road
construction in the territory would lessen the
burden of the taxpayer, would promote transpor,
taiion for people and for products; a study of
tenement-house conditions would benefit several
Glasses of people and incidentally the entire com.
munity
There is steadily growing in Hawaii the idea
that frequent meetings Of citizens on subjects Of
public interest furnish the best system for soly-
ing public problems.

EDITOR
AN EXCELLENT SHOWING

The banana claims commission has made an
excellent showing and what is more, has proved
that hard, public-spirited work is the best kind
of politics to play in handling public matter
When the commission was organized and $40, 600
was appropriated to pay off the hundreds of
claims resulting from the fight against threat
ened epidemic two years ago, there were predic-
tons from those who invariably judge in adj
vance that the special fund would be looted by
graft6rs The three members of the commission,
W. 7. Rawlins, Frank f. Fernandez and Manley
K. Hopkins, set to work quietly to run the COM
mission on a businesslike basis, and the results
would seem to prove that they have done it, A
number of claims, evidently unwarranted, were
withdrawn when the claimants saw that the
commission was not to be fooled or trifled with.
All three of the commissioners are young men,
two of them practically unknown in public life,
but they have made very good record and de-
serve credit forit
One of the predictions voiced when the com
mission was authorized by the Legislature was
that its work would be made the basis for fur
Their political attack by the Democrats in the
campaign Of 1914 The opposite has proven to-
be the case Tie commissions work has been so

department, in a letter to Senator Simmons has
furnished listpf countries having treaties with
the United states affected by the. United States
enforcing the provision giving a per cent re-
bate in tariff on goods brought in American
ships. Congress amended the bill so that coun-
tries now bound by treaty provision on the sub
ject shall be exempted from the provision. Most
of the countries thus affeeted are Russia Hun.
gary, Italy, Japan, Belgium, Denmark, Greece,
Netherlands Spain, Norway and Sweden, all
heavy exporters to the United States. Treaties
with Great Britain, Costa Rica and Honduras
contain modified restrictions, which apparently
would prevent discrimination against goods that
are the growth, product or manufacture of the
exporting country. % ! +. :.

THE BATTLE OF LElRsIc.
(Leipste, Oct. 10. 1879

Editor Honolulu Star.BuIletin.
Sir: The battle of Leipsic oc'
CURED 100 years ago today. This
battle is described as one of the most
decisive in the worlds history.
! As Napoleon's star was already
! waning, the importance of the battle
as the fact that it was the final and
effectuaI dispersal of the cloud that
had been hanging over Europe for
nearly 20 years This battle gave
Prussia it's independence from all
outside influences, and made possible
many great things among them
Bismarck and the German empire.
The Napoleon who was defeated Eat
Leipsic can hardly be rated the same
as the invincible First Consul whose
only ambition was armed camps land
military glory, but he must be consid-
cred as the emperor of the most luEu-
rious court in the world. A year be-
fore Leipsic Napoleon marched into
Russia with an army of $500 men,
and into a trap that it Is hardly con-
.ceivable that the First Consul would
Fhave. entered. The Russians retreat.
ed, leaving the road to Moscow as
barren rs the valley of the Shenan-
doah after our Civil War; and made
the browning sacrifice by burning
Moscow over the heads of Napoleon
and his victorious army.
Napoleon effected his retreat from
Moscow in spite of the coalition that
was forming against him, and entered
France again followed by about
100000 of his magnificent army Of
450, 900. -
Napoleon's campaign In the PENN
srla, Spain, next went against him,
and with a defeated and abandoned
army in Spain, and with wellington
marching through Spain and into
French territory on the south, and
with Austria withdrawing from, alli-
ance with him and joining Prussia,
Napoleon raised s. new army of 400,-
900 men and entered the campaign
which ended with Leipsic.
AS Saturday, October Is, 1913, is
the first centenary of any of the i'm.
'portant victories that made possible
the great German federation, lit
should be fttingly celebrated. In
celebrating this battle the Germans
will not forget that their same vic
torious general, Butcher, again en-
tered France in 1915 with a victorious
army and, if still dreaming of glory,
they can remember that in our own
time, only AZ years ago, the German
army occupied all the forts around
Paris, being hurled there in 1870 by
the Iron Chancellor.
=. In late years Germans have had
something else to think of besides
victories over France. and the toast
of the German army: '.We do not
like the Frenchman, but we do like
their women and their wine" has
been supplemented by the more sinis-
ter toast, ITO the day" which any
German can tell you the meaning Of

WILSON'S WAY

President Wilson has been spending most of
the past ten days talking with Democratic sena,
tors on the necessity for passing the currency re-
form bill When Wilson talks he says some
thing. He has summoned every Democratic
senator into his office and put the matter
straight to him. Senator O'Gorman Of New
York, generally credited with fayoring a central
bank, and Senator Hitchcock appear to. be. the
only Democratic members of the committee who
propose to offer tangible objections to the adop,
ton of the administration bill. Whether this
surface opposition will result in actual opposi-
ton, or whether it is being maintained for the
purpose Of compromises Of some sort, is not clear
to the other members of the committee. ...
