RIGHT BILLS At WRONG TIME

Democratic bills introduced in the Legislature
yesterday to restore some of the former powers
Of the mayor along the line of wise legislation
in case the legislature fails to make provision for
an elective-commission charter. The commission
plan will be put before the legislature the re-
suits of the work of a large number of interested
citizens, with the probability that the legislature
will authorize the city to take referendum vote
upon it.
In case theopponents of the commission plan
defeat even its submission to the people, there
ought to be amendments to the present law. As
II now stands, this law is obviously intended to
make the mayors powers practically nil. The
right to veto and the right to order the Hawaiian
hand from place to place are about the only two
privileges or duties left to the chief executive of
this CITY. 1t is well-known that Republican
legislature passed the law as a slap at Demo
cratic MAYOR. In passing the law, the legisla-
ture removed the office of mayor from the sphere
Of any really big mans ambition. The mayor is
q fieurehead now. Moreover, as Senator Writ,
;ptrodueer of the senate bill points out, the leg
isIatiye and executive functions of city govern
mont are inextricably mixed now, to the great
disadvantage of public business
There is another element in this, however that
must no considered. Many Democrats are frankly
against the proposed plan for commission gov

COMFORTING

War with Japan is considered from a rather
novel and interesting angle by recent writer
in the Century magazine, j. ID. Whelpley. He
says:
"There will be no war with the United States
for, in the first place, the whole life of the Jap
ancse nation is at present, and in all probability
always will be, dependent upon foreign com
merce, and the people of the United States buy a
third of what is sold from Japan. In the second
place, and more potent even, is the recognized
fact that such a war would be a stalemate for
both sides, with nothing gained and much lost.
The japanese would take the Philippines and
Hawaii, and there effective aggression would
necessarily end In return the United States
would retake Hawaii and the Philippines and
with that effective counter aggression would
likewise end. The game would not be worth the
Icandlc."
Thus, though Hawaii may tremble temporar-
ily,s We caneview the ultimate result with some
satisfaction.

INFANT NO LONGER

Governor Frear's message remarks: at is
best fer the counties to shoulder their own finan-
cial responsibilities and thus emerge from the
stage of infancy"
The city and county of Honolulu has been
kept in this infancy stage by people who insisted
that the municipality was not able to look after
its waterworks, sewers, etc tits time to cast off
the swaddling clothes, and that is the main fea-
|ture of the commission-goyernment charter now

FOR THE TOURISTS

Editor Honolulu Star-BulIetin,
Sir:-What has been said in the
morning paper by Mr.. SculIy is to a

shame that tourists should be left to
wander the streets in search of rooms

there were only someone to direct
them. ......-. 49,
Yesterday morning saw 4 great
many of them wandering in all man

ernment. They see several years of control of
the city as the reward for their political efforts
of the past. They do not wish TO loosen their
grip on municipal offices. Hence, under the
quite plausible plan of amending the present
city and county act, they undoubtedly hope to
convince the Legislature that there is no need of
providing that the commission system be sub
United to vote of the people. And that is just
exactly where the legislature need not he con-
WINGED. The sentiment here for radical change
in city government is too strong, too growing,
too aggressive for neglect by the territorial law
makers. The thinking men of this city demand
a simpler, more responsible form of government.
If there were no concrete proposal for this
definite form, the Democratic bills might be very
good bills, for they are based on correct theories
of government under the mayor-and- council sys-
TEN. But with the new charter plan SO well adj
vanced, the legislature ought not to stop to daily

Pynchon to Build Defender of the America's Cup

~ M. PYNCHON and two other we'll
 known yachtsmen are to build our Americas cup defender. and Herreshoff
 is now at work on the plans. The de-
 fense of the Americas cup is a lively topic with the yachtsmen, and Nat Herreshoff, the well known designer, sailed with the New York Yacht club fleet on it's recent cruise on board his
 yacht Helianthus- tHerreshof is at work on the plans for two yachts At
 one time he declined to build more
 than one defender, but he has been
 prevailed on to undertake two boats.
 These two no doubt will be vastly diff
 ferent in model, size and sail plan One probably will be a light displacement boat with a small sail plan, and the other a larger yacht with much more driving power.
 With G. M. Pynchon in charge of one
 defender, the yacht will be well man.
 aged and well handled. He will be as
 sociated with two well known racing,
 men who for the present wish to be
 unknown. but they are prominent in the sport
 MT. PynchoD began his racing with
 the sixty foot sloop -Neola, which was built by a well known shipping com
 pany several years ago. The other boat in this class was the Weetamoe owned by United States Senator H. F. Lip pitt. MT. Pynchon raced the Nicola consistently, but he found that sailing, l on salt water was very different from racing on fresh water. He had learned on the lakes When the New York thirty foot class was organized MT Pynchon had the NeoIa IT. built and with that. boat he became an expert boat handler and won many prizes. In 1907, when the sixty-five Hooters were built, MT. Pynchon took one, which he l named Istalena and with that yacht | he has been very successful. He won 1 the Astor cup for sloops in 1912 and the Kings cup with the same yacht in 1909.
 l MT. Pynchon's skipper is Captain Howell. Captain Howell @is regarded
 by many as the best of the racing skip pers. His skill in sailing a yacht to

the pinch hitter personally or that we envy him his soft berth with nothing to do but await the occasional call to go in and bat, but we do believe the system has little to commend it, based on actual results, and we feel that the figures, nSever properly compiled, will bear out the belief that more games have been lost by the substitution of a pinch hitter than were ever won by it.
 We have in mind a game where a pitcher has held his opponents to tie score to the eighth inning. It comes the pitchers time to bat The man. ager has the pinch hitting mania, and he sends up a man in place of the pitcher. Granting that the pinch hit ter delivers and strikes the blow that sends over a run to tie or even put his team ahead, what then?
 A fresh pitcher must be sent in when the team takes the field. How often does he continue the good work of the

Pinc4, hittIna FhIIY.

One of these days, in the long win ter. perhaps, when the dope is hard picking, some of these master baseball statisticians will compile for us figures that can't lie on the actual value of the pinch hitter when his substitution means the retirement of a pitcher They will show just how often he has delfvered-not mere hit but blow that absolutely has decided a game. Over against it will be recorded all the good pitching that has gone for naught because the twirler was removed to permit some one to bat in his place.
 Not that we have anything against

man he has succeeded? About as often as the pinch hitter delivers the hit, and what has been gained?
 These premises may be wrong, but we hold to them until the statisticians can prove otherwise-prove the double proposition that the pinch hitter has won the game and that the relief pitcher has saved the game so won.

Oh. yes, there was a. band at the station to meet us That band played the weirdest dirges and the most discordant music you ever heard They had a hearse there for us, and the street was lined with carriages for the fans. One or two of the players got very sore over the thing. but de- ternnfned to go through with it. We an piled into their hearse, and we gave them a good time of it, anyhow They paraded all over town with us, and aat- CT they had enjoyed themselves to the limit they warmed up to us again IL cured the fans of their grouches. and they pulled for us all the harder. We had other bad trips after that. but they never worked the old hearse gag again."
