LIKES OUR
 GOVERNMENT RAILWAY

Sir Richard Mcbride, prime minister of this province, is strongly in favor of the United States governmentowned railroads in Alaska finding an all-Iand route to the United States.
 At present railroads cross the south ern Canadian border from either side and one would never know he was in another country.
 And here comes that province of Canada which abuts on Alaska as well as on the northwest states and says cordially through informally, Let's have 'em running across the Alaska border, too"
 And if 1t is a train from a govern ment-owned railroad, what of 1t? Can ada is for government.owned railroads itself and has built more miles of gov ernment-owned railroads than the United States has yet dreamed of building.
 Rails to New York.
 Owing to the recent railroad ac- tyity in British Columbia there will in another year be not much of Q gap left between the Alaskan bOun- 5orv and transcontinental steel. Now If the Alaskan railroads to be built by Uncle Sam were to be extended to the boundary. and the Canadian gov ernmentior the provincial government or private interests joined the boun- dary with one of the most convenient Canadian transcontlnental roads Gall of which are connected up with the principal points in the United states) why Alaska would have an all-rail out let to New York, New Orleans. chl- cago. or any old place on the North American continent,
 "The tooth anniversary of peace be- tween the United States and Great Britain" he said, reminds us that there Is no reason why there should not be a further cenemting of the friendship that exists between the United States and the English, people. This province particularly enjoys an .intimate position with your country Alaska on the one side of us and, the States on the other.

FATHERS CLUBS

question Is found on every program of what is
CLAIMED to be the first fathers club in the
United States, organized at Council Bluffs,
Iowa, little over wear ago, according to IN
formation received at the Home Education Di-
vision Of the United States Burean of Ednca-
ton.
Ten clubs with an average membership OF
fifty, have been formed during the year for the
purpose of bringing the fathers In closer
tonch with the children, the teachers, and board
of education, in an endeaEor to bring about the
very best results for the betterment of the
children The motto of these clubs is, Make
the Indifferent Different. y Membership is linn
TIED to males 81 years of age or over.
Each month the fathers clubs debate
snch questions as: Are our children trained
for, or away from, the age IN which we live
How many children ont of 1000 reach higf
school In our town. What about the rest

POLO AND ITS LOCAL POSSIBILITIES

Few games in all the long history of polo in
ular than that played at Schofeld Barracks
yesterday between Maui and Oahu. 1t was
nip-and-tuck, goal-and- goal scoring from start
to finish, and the spectators, even those who
know nothing whatever about the finer points
of the game, were tingling with excitement
from the first period to the last
Maui's game stand after losing one of the
most dependable men was a fine piece of work
and 0ahu's brilliant scoring in the last few
periods brought the local four up from behind
and assured victory over the Valley Islanders.
Polo is game of such almost limitless posi-
bilities from the standpoint of a popular at
traction that some denfite move should be
made to reestablish the polo field at Kapiolani
park that has been so long and sofyainly-
talked about among lovers of the game. There
are half dozen strong arguments for carry
ing out this scheme. In the first place, it would
help the sport itself-and there is no better nor
cleaner sport in Hawaii 1t would furnish a
field easier of access to players and spectators
than Moanalua Field. Where one person now
goes to see a game at Moanalua at least ten
would 60 to Kapiolani Park. The annual games
would undoubtedly draw huge crowds and un-
der these circumstances there could be sec
tions of seats at low admission prices Polo
could be put almost if not quite on a self-sup-
porting basis, the burden of expense that now
rests heavily on the shoulders of few we'll
TODD players and enthusiasts could be lifted,
more teams would enter the lists.
From q promotion standpoint, it would be
highly valuable to have the annual matches
played at Kapiolani Park and to give special
support to polo. Many of the tourists who
come here, particularly those from the east
coast, are familiar with polo and its attractions
But the location of the present field and the ex-
pense inevitably attached to seeing a game
under comfortable circumstances viii always
operate to diminish attendance not only among
townfOlk but among visitors.
There is no inherent difficulty In establishing
4 polo field at Kapiolani The grounds are
there and all that is needed is the erection of
temporary fence during the season, wits
stands and admission wickefs Already the
local polo men have spent several Thousand
dollars in laying irrigation pipes under the turf
with the expectation of developing q field.
What IS lacking now is said to be cooperation
on the part of the city officials particularly the
supervisors, some Of whom seem TO think that
Is Kapiolani is a public park the polo associa-
ton shoild not be allowed to charge admission
to see the games While matters have been
thus drifting, the field has deteriorated from a
polo standpoint and could not be used In any
event for the season Just closed.
Ii Is pity that the city has not taken up
the possibilities of polo from the standpoint of
public amusement and joined the polo men IN
working ont practical scheme. The polo sea
son Of 1914 is over but the time to plan for the
season of 1915 Is here. =

NEUTRALITY MUST BE SINCERE

President Wilson is setting an example of
sincere neutrality that should be observed by
every patriotic American. A despatch from the
national capital a few days ago says:
President Wilson today declined to receive
Horace L. Brand of Chicago who came to pre-
sent message from several German American
organizations protesting against the charges of
atrocities made by the Belgian commission
against the German army. The President is
understood to be deeply disappointed over
what he feels is disregard of his neutrality
statement He is determined to check, as far
as possible, continued efforts of natives of Eu-
ropean countries living in America to take
sides on the question He does not believe
such citizens should publicly take sides"
The force of public opinion in the United
States is a tremendous force If this country
is to be really neutral, the people individually
must remain cool. keep neutral, too. America s
great hope of serving as mighty instrument
of peace between the warning nations can be
realized only if the people observe the spirit
and letter of national and personal neutrality.
