INSULARITY

Senator A. +. Judd not long ago delivered an
interesting address on "Honolulu Nci before
the Mems Club of st. Andrews.
He talked on the civic problems Of Honolulu,
pointing out some of them. In particular he de-
clared that the greatest need in this city, in the
politics of this city, is for men, not for money.
1T may have been in the mind of Senator Judd
that he was. pointing out problems peculiar to
Honolulu. and Hawaii. If that is so, he has been
undeceivel for from far Massachusetts home
of encysted culture where American government
might be supposed. to have been reduced to an
exact science several generations ago, has come
precisely the same plant that the senator voiced
in Hawaii.
The old-tmers will we'll remember Frank \.
Hosmer, once president of Oahu College, now a
member of the faculty of Amherst Agricultural
College Professor Hosmer read Senator judd
address and Immediately wrote him letter

some man that he does not understand Hawaii S
peculiar situation, or of some method that it
would not fit HaWa air peculiar conditions: Be
cause Hawaii is in the middle of the Pacific
ocean, in climate described {even in promotion
literature) as subtropfcal, some people think
that human nature here has developed along
lines totally different from human nature in the
rest of the wOrld-grown tail, possibly, or
sprouted couple of wings. Nothing could be
farther from the truth. The man or the method
who is good for anything anywhere else in the
world is good for something here. The method
that is efficaciOus elsewhere under a democratic
form of government should he efficaciOus here

waii differ perhaps in degree but not in kind
from the problems in Massachusetts, or New
York, or California.

government is concerned, are peculiar to itself
lis toindulge in a form of vanity that is harmful
insofar as it handicaps progress toward adopt

ENLIST EVERY GOOD CITIZEN

In these columns from time to time have been
published the stories of the experiences of other
cities in building up commercial bodies that
worked along many lines for the good of the en-
tire community. Recently was told the story of
Worcester, Mass. Here is the story of Wheel
jng, West Virginia:
The Wheeling board Of trade was organized
ia 1890 and has steadily developed in activity
and in influence. tits a popular, not an exclu-
sive organization. One need not be an Interest
% belong-one merely need be Interested
In its quarters all sorts of meetings on all
! sorts of community subjects are held; it en-
courages such meetings. helps to promote and
arrange them. Last YEAR something like 225
meetings, conventions, conferences, etc, were
held at the board of trade building, which has
become the civic CENTER -

% directors, nor even bylits membership, but by
community sentiment |<3sS F.
TO illustrate its range of activity, here are
soine Of its achievements !.
Secured many new industries gave Wheeling its
first big office building nsthe board Of trade build

ton, uniting banking interests; opened up new
borbs which have added to Wheelings prosperity;
promoted B. & O. improvements involving s2.OOooOO

tise trade Journals and newspapers; advocated
Greater Wheeling to extend Wheelings limits and

Honolulu is ready for such body, for an
efen greater body, because this city, in its COM
handing position for world-commerce, has a
vastly wider range than any West Virginia Hlli-
nieipality.
committees from the chamber OF Commerce
and the Merchants Association have been
named TO draft set of bylaws for the amalga-
nation of the two bodies. They may well heed
the experience of Wheeling, of Worcester, of
Winston. Salem, North Carolina, of Oakland
Of a dozen other cities, and make the greater
commercial body popular in organization and
membership.
The time is come when every good citizen of
this city may be enlisted in the ranks.

MILITIA LOSES TINSIL OFFICERS
South Carolina Only State That Has
Not Met the Requirements of the
New Rules.

Washington, July 20.-Application
of the new militia laws Of the Ma
tOnal Guard has caused a heavv pa
per mortality among the highly or
namental officers. The requirement
that the militia conform in organ
iZation to regular army standards has
been met by all of the States except
South Carolina, with the startling re-
suit that there have already been
dropped three major generals, thirty
hrigadier generals. more than one
hundred colonels and a corresponding
number of officers Of less rank.
AS result of these changes there
has been great Improvement in the
physical fitness Of the enlisted force
of the militia and progress in the in
structiOn of officers who are now real
ly availing themselves of the kindly
criticisms Of the inspection officers of
the United States army working

FAR FROM PEACE.
ALARMING RUMORS COME FROM
MEXICO.
villa Said to BE Preparing to COnccn-
tratc His Troops and Rcsist-Car-
bajal Disinclincd to Unconditional
Surrender.

Washington, July 21.-The United
states today through its consular rep
resentatives, appealed to Gen. Car
rama and Gen. Villa, in the interest
of patriotism and permanent peace
in Mexico, to bury their personal diff
ferenccs and work in harmony for
the establishment of a new govern
mcnt.
Secretary Bryan tclegraphed both
George &. CarOthcrS and John II. Silli-
man, representatives Of the state de-
partment with Villa and Carranza
respectively, urging that they present
in most friendly yet effective man.
nor the importance of cohesion in the
cOnstitutiOnalist lines.
While the recent conference of CT
rama and Villa delegates at Torr
agrcd upon terms designed to heal
the breach between the two leaders,
new disquicting reports have come to
the effect that Villa was preparing to
concentrate his troops in Chihuahua
and hold himself alOof from Car
ranza's authority.
Mr.. Bryan's kilograms to the two
conatitutiOnalist leaders indicated that
the American government would dis
approve Of cOunter-revOlutions.
The general situation today did not
seem as promising for peace to some
diplomats as it did to administration
officials. CarranZa has insisted that
the surrender of the Carbajal govern
ment be unconditional. Representa-
tives Of Provisional President Carbajal
said guarantees and amnesty must be
granted. Secretary Bryan was conf
dent today that q middle ground
would be reached when commissioners
from the Carbajal government and
the constitutionalists meet in n few
days at Saltillo.
France now has been added to Great
Britain and Spain as nations having
grievances against the constitutional
lists which will be set aside for fu-
turc reckoning but not forgotten.
England eventually will demand sat-
isfaction for the killing Of w. $. Ben
ton. Spain wants her subjects reim-
hurSed for losses through conliscatiOn
OF property and France is now making
urgent representations concerning the
death of TWO French citizens at Zaca-
tccas, members Of the clerical order

"KID COP" FOR SCHOOLS
SOON TO BE SUPPLANTED
w. S. Deffenbaugh of U. S. Bureau
of Education Foresees Adoption
of Better System.

The old idea of the truant officer as a
kid cop is passing away. according
to w. s. Deffenbaugh of the United
States bureau of educa ton, who has
recently been in conference with at
tendance officials from all parts of the
United States. The new truant Off
GER, according to Mr.. Deffenbaugh, is a
man OF entirely different type, quite
frequently, in fact, a woman. In sew
eral cities large percentage of truant
officers are college graduates; in other
cities they are men and women with
experience as social workers; but
whether college graduates or not, they
are required to know and understand
the home conditions of school children
Attendance officers of the new type
are interested in removing funda-
mental causes of truancy rather than
in merely catching the offenders. The
chief cause of the failure to obey at
tendance laws, according to the ma
tional league of compulsory education
officials, is inadequate family life.
Resolutions adopted at the recent
meeting of this organization, there
fore. called for adequate and uniform
marriage and divorce laws for the pro-
lection of childhood; enactment and
