STATESSTANDO ON
Remuneration
Brands Plan for Rich Mans
Government as Un-
American

In a signed statement made today
Joel =. Cohen, aYowed candidate for
the mayoralty of Honolulu on the Re-
publican ticket, makes clear his posi-
ton relative to the salary question
insofar as the mayors office is con-
cerned, also relative to the board OF
supervisors.
After growing a trif1e caustic re-
garding the announcement made this
morning by Fred L. Waldron. Nh Co
hen gets down to business and clearly
states his position. He says he would
employ a competent man as private
secretary, deducting from his own sal
airy and adding to that of the secre.
tary sufficient sum to insure a man
who could fill the bill satisfactorily
The balance Of the salary he would
give to charity.
The statement follows:
"A candidate for mayor has offered
to work for nothing. Now it is up to
someone else to propose putting the
Office up at auction and giving it to
the man who will give the most for
the honor.
Then start a bargain sale for su-
pervisors giving the job to those who
we may get a lot Of high-brows who
will work about month or until the
honor wears off and for the balance of
the time do nothing.
What is needed for supervisors are
men Of good common sense who are
honest and who will devote their time
to the city's good.
THE city Is not an object of char
ity and it can we'll afford to pay good
men who are capable but who cannot
afford to work for nothing. Occa.
sicnally rich nhilanthropist may
come along and be able to do so, but
the average poor man can not work
for nothing and stay honest.
Mr.. Waldronis plan calls for a rich
mans government, but il is UNAMER.

ment by the people and all classes

RATH DECLARES
summer CAMP
GREAT SUCCESS

Mothers and children, the former
numbering eight and the latter %.
from Honolulu's tenements are enjoy
ing life to the limit, according to
Headworker James A. Rath Of the Pa
lama Settlement, who returned to the
city from the fresh air camp at Kali
Papau yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Rath, who fathered the move
ment, returned from the camp in an
exceedingly happy frame of mind from
the fact that NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. new
feature of the settlements work at
last is we'll under way and is proving
a remarkably lusty youngster.
It's a go, all right" smiled the
beadworker this morning. 1T is prov
ing even a greater success than | anti
cipated. II we can be assured Of the
funds, we are going to make it an an
nual feature"
According to MIR. Rath, the past two
weeks have resolved into a wonderful
something for the tenement mothers
and children. Away from the heat
and dust of Honolulu and out amid
green fields and with the surf tapping
On the sand close by, the little party
has enjoyed itself to the limit Cues
tioning by the nurse in charge brought
out the facts that it is the first time
that the majority of the mothers and
their children had had a vacation.
Some Of them did not know the mean
ing of the word. Many of the chill

way.
The life in the camp, however, is
not continuous round of pleasure,
and yet, looking at it from another
standpoint, it is. The mothers cook
their own meals and attend to the
little homework of their respective
tents. But there is a great deal Of
difference between house work in a
spotless tent and house work in a
stuffy little back room in a tenement.
Then, too, the mothers are learning
something about which, perhaps, they
never before gave a moments
thought. They are learning how to
take care of their children; how to
ward off disease; how to prepare sim
pie meals, and the value of different
foods. The nurse and the physician
in charge constantly are dropping lit
tie hints as to how certain things
should be done, and each hint is a
lesson in ITSELF one to which the
mothers. and even the children, pay
the carefullest attention. .
Summing it all up, the tenement
mothers and their children are heart
lily enjoying the vacation; they are
having the time of their lives, as
Mr.. Rath puts it. When the simple
household duties are finished, they
roam the fields, swim in the ocean,
and even take long tramps into the
hills. It is a typical fresh air camp,
and will become a permanent feature
of the settlements work if the ne
cessary funds to continue it may be
secured. -.......
The party now at the camp will
return Monday morning, and another
party, consisting of 4G mothers and
children, will leave Honolulu to take
its place. The camp now is in charge
of DR.. w. r. Dunn of the Queens
hospital. and Miss c.. Kemp, settle
ment district nurse.

Robbed BY Muskrats.

Messrs. Robert Graham. Terrell
and Franklin Corn are camping I'M
til the first of the week at Buckeye
Cave. on Dix River. above Kings
Mill. The Messrs. Corn went pros
pecting for a camp site on Tuesday,
and that night spread their blankets
under a shelving rock near the river
on the Mercer side. They took of
their belts and placed them togeth-
er with the scabbards, in which were
their camp knives, about two feet
from where they slept. The next
morning the belts were gone and on
ly the buckles left, and also the
leather scabbards had disappeared
from around their knives. AS it is
a known fact that muskrats consid-
er leather a choice delicacy to eat,
it is supposed they came up from the
river and devoured the belts and
scabbards without awakening the
young men. and the only thing that
saved their shoes was their thought
fulness in hanging them on a bush.

Length of War.

Count White. the Russian states
man is quoted as saying that this
will be short war. He believes that
ii will be brief and bitter, but that
it will not cover a period longer
than three months at the outside
He also thinks that in less than this
time Russia will reduce Germany to
state of subsection.
From German statesmen come dec
larations and prophesies of a sim
liar character The Germans are
eually confident that the war will
be of brief duration and that in the
end the supremacy OF the German
people will be asserted.
London is not so positive. Lord
Kitchener predicts the victory of the
allied armies. but is not so confident
of the brevity of the war.
Confidence on both sides of a
speedy victory is not. to neutrals,
a very impressive argument for the
brevity or the war. Nor can we with
very great confidence argue from
the general tendency Of war. with
any great confidence. that the pres
ent conflict will be a brief one.
Wars should. because of the improv-
ed age of invention, grow brief In
duration. The machines Of war are

was hoisted slowly toward the sur
face in order to give their operatives
a chance to recover progressively
from the stress of high pressure.
Even so the precaution was not al
ways sufficient and a great many OF
the workers suffered from bends
and a considerable number of them
developed paralysis later on. II
they did not die.
DR.. Hill invented a type of diving
bell which has within its compass a
decomposition chamber. and the
operation of this compartment is
entirely Independent of the rapidity
with which the bell may be hoisted
to the surface, and, conversely. with
the speed with which IL may be
plunged to the waterbed In the first
case, coming up the operative goes
into the decomposition chamber and
remains there as long as it is neces-
sary to bring the pressure of that
compartment progressively down to
atmospheric normal.
Again, If the bell is descending
quickly. the worker remains in the
decomposition chamber. which. in
that case. becomes in effect a COM
preston chamber. the pressure of
the air being raised gradually until
it is equal to that in the bottomless

balance is reached the submarine
