GEN. FUNsToN's PROMOTION.

Hawaii has more than a passing interest in
the promotion of Fighting Fred" Funston to
the rank of major general.
The people of this territory have seen and
known the man and admired his personality
and his achievements. Some of them knew, al
the time he was in command of the military
forces here, that he was developing some ex-
ceedingIy important defensive plans, but few
knew or know now how far-r reaching those
plans may be. -
Funston, to the layman's mind, types the
army officer who docs things" and does them
with the minimum of hubbub and the maximum
of efficiency And his promotion, after period
so long that the situation gave rise to unfavor-
able criticism of Washington, will be acclaimed
in Hawaii as particularly well deserved.
He has been senior brigadier- general for
nearly eight years and has held the rank of
brigadier for Is years. counting his service as
brigadier- general Of the volunteers. For about
Is years he has ranked as brigadier in the regu-
lar army.
His military career has been conspicuously
distinguished. In the popular mind, of course,
the capture of Aguinaldo takes precedence as
his most startling exploit, but he has others as

ling Of the San Francisco situation after the
earthquake and fire in 1906. And the service
from which he is about to return-that at Vera
Cruz has been splendid. The American troops
cohducted themselves with such dignity, con-
sideration and cool efficiency in restoring law
ana order and bringing cleanliness to that tur-
bulent city as ito change the sentiments OF the
distrustfrl Mexicans toward the United States.
Funston has been the sbrainS and the strong
arm of the u s. administration in Vera Cruz
since he was sent there insan emergency.
Funston is now given promotions not only
deserved but one to which hehas been entitled
The delay in this promotion has been such as
10 remind many observers of the familiar say
ine about the ingratitude Of republics but
none can doubt that, whether promoted or not,
Funston will be found always on the Job, al
ways doing his work-and doing it as It he
liked it. And one suspects that Funston does
like his work

A QUESTION FOR THE CIVIL SER.
- VICE COMMISSION.

Schefeld Barracks, Nov 10, 1914.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir:-May ] take the liberty to ask
through the columns Of your paper
this question, why is the civil serv.
ice board Of Honolulu"
The reason for my asking is this:
Last May an examination was held
for police and fire department
passed sixth on the list of eligibles
and at the present writing have heard
nothing concerning appointment.
Lately an examination was held for
the purpose of forming a new list OF
successful candidates, the reason Civ
en- to the public was that the old list
had been exhausted.
Personally know that this list was
not exhausted. Knowing such to be
the case ] sent a letter to the secre-
tary Of the board Of supervisors ask
ing to be informed whyI had received
no consideration in the appointment
Of eligibles for the. position Of police
officer. p, y. '--
q Mr.. Editor. what l would like to
know Is this: Is ii because I am a
soldier in the u. s. army that am
barred from such position, and, If so
barred, why was permitted to take
the examination? -.
!. Hoping that this letter will be no
ticed by some. member of the civil
service commission T will close by
thanking yen in advance for the space
you have given this letter. !.
? - Respectfully yours.

THE VODKA.

The funeral services over Russian vodka
took place at u O'Clock last night, 1t was
nationwide event and must have been attended
with unusual interest. Russia is now free from
the curse of a legalized liquor traffic, which
leads one to observe that possibly this seeming
II interminable war in Europe may not after
all be an unmixed evil, but that in some meas
IRE good may result to humanity in general.
France now says, g Why stop at the prohibi-
ton Of vodka and, in our land, absinthei Why
not stop all alcoholic sales now and foreyeri"

not equal the deaths and the misery and the

CRIME NOT DISCOURAGED.

Hawaii s record of murder-too often un-
punished swelled by. statistics from Hilo
stating that since January, 1912, @ murders
have been committed in Hawaii county, in only
one instance the murderer paying the life
penalty. :.9*....= r..
The increase in capital crime is due not only
to an increase in turbulent human elements
brought about by the importation of oriental
labor. but, according to the belief on the Big
Island, is due also to the hniencysof juries.
/ Hawaii county is not the only part of this
territory where juries are lenient to the point
of encouraging repetition of crime and INSIDE
meanor. There is enough of it everywhere
Tempering justice with mercy is all right to

tutes an exhibition of mawkish sympathy that

PROBABLY THE CENSORSHIP.

Confirmation by mail of vague rumor that
CAME many days ago by cable, that the British
superdreadnought Audacious has been shat
tered by mine, has been followed by the oft
repeated question in Honolulu, Why did the
news get out SO late, and in such roundabout
wayi''
This cannot be definitely answered now. II
was probably due to the severity of the British
censorship, preventing the British ontrolled
cables from carrying news dispatches. Thus
il was not until letters froms Ireland reached
New York that the story Of the Audacious dis
aster became public.
Both the Allies and the Teutons are minim-
izing their reverses, and wherever possible, al
together barring news of them to the outside
world. Previous British naval disasters have
reached the public from German as well as
Allied sources but in this case the sinking of
one Of Britain s greatest warships was evident
" unknown to the Germans until many days
afterwards.
