HAWAI1's MILITARY NEEDS.

Ilawaii'> military needs are getting a great
deal of attention these days in the halls of
Congress.
| Senator Weeks of Massachusetts made an
extended speech in the course of which he said:
| 1T is certainly an altruistic policy which at
tempts to educate and fit for self government
the people of the Philippines, but this attempt
Has required the United States to send over
! II 600 of its regular army to the Philippines
and to pay for some 5000 native troops-a
yearly expenditure of some $l0O0O,OOO if we
take the cost of the soldier serving with the
cOlOrs at $500 per year; an expenditure of over
five and one-haf millions, if we consider only
the clothing, food and pay of the soldier. TAX
ing this latter sum, it means $4,000 reserves.
l am not criticlzing the policy, provided the
nation is willing to pay this cost; but if the
policy means that our regular army in the
United States will, by this altruism, be reduced
below what will give the nation reasonable
Defense the policy is not only dangerous but
pernicious.
1.-The garrison of the Sandwich Islands is
5000, and probably should be increased to
20, 600 in order to provide a navy need; that u.s.
to secure harbor and coaling station for our
feet in the Pacific.
"The garrison in the Panama Canal Zone
must be sufficient to protect this great water
way. The nation has assumed new response
bilities with reference to the world at large
and the cost of meeting these responsibilities
cannot be measured by the appropriations made
for similar purposes in its younger national
life t..,.. 80.
a. 1t is not for me to prescribe the size of the
mobile army in the United States, but rather
tOeinyite attention to what is considered by
men who have made a study of this question
an adequate home defense and to show, if pos
sible, how imperfeetly this home defense has
been provided, The war department tells us
the fcountry needs for this defense 100000
trained men, supplemented by from 100000 to
100000 volunteers. The nation has in the
United States .smobile regular army of
81 500 enlisted strength and an organized
mobile militia - of about 104, 600 enlisted
strength and no available trained reserve Ger
tainly the war departments under these condi-
tons can not be responsible for the disastrous
outcome of an attack made upon this country
The figures presented by theEwar department
appear rather Stupendousy but they are not in
consistent with what this country has been
obliged to put I'M the field in most of it's past
wars, and until Congress furnishes the means
to approximate the demands of the war de-
partmentrthe responsibility for the results of
Any war must be borne by Congress.
81 am firmly impressed with the idea that
Ephazard legislation has too dong been in
dulged in with reference to- acknowledgment
of our military resources. that the questions of
policy, of economy in maintenance, of effect
iveness in the costly machine which we are
forced to maintain, have not been intelligently
met-certainly they have not been satisfactor-
lily solved"

EcoNoMY IS IMPERATIVE.

There is no money in the city and county
treasury to be wasted. There is not even
a surplus over bare needs.
The sStar,BuIletin yesterday published a
statement from the auditors office, showing
: that to be on the safe side the new administra,
ton must cnt about 81 600 under the sum ex-
pended in 1914 by the tgoing administration.
Today another statements published, from
the territorial treasurer He hopes that the
new tax rate and the new assessments will au-
tomatieally raise some additiohM revenue for
the city and county.
Tie auditors statement is a statement of
known facts; the treasurers statement is
largely a hopeful estimate act
Very plainly the. only ssafescoarse for the new
city administration viii be to stay in the path
.sof economy. In ordepto trim expenses to sllit
income, it may be necessary to Top off some of
the money spent for road and street mainten-
lance and that is unfortunate, for good roads
must be we'll kept and poor roads patched up
until good roads can be built; but for few
months some rigid economies must be prac-
ticed. s. 81 zsses
Above all, then, this is not a time for the
new administration to increase overhead ex-
penses. 0 e.
a separation Of the waterwprks and sewer
division from the city engineering department
and the creation of new department with q
superintendent at the head offers ready OPP
,portunity for an increase in expenses. In the
Judgment of this paper-with. which judgment
many businessmen and trained engineers coin
cide-such new department will not increase
efficiency Nor will it necessarily increase
revenue. t3ii seay
The argument is made on behalf of the new
department idea that superintendent could
get an executive grasp on the situation, speed
up the organization, cut off needless waste,
greatly add to the tax collectionstand ether
wise effect improvements over the present
management. - ~ tsi'eis ?.
Very likely. But the question arises whether
as good or better results can be.secured with
out creating q new salaried office We believe
they can. We believe that the city engineer,
backed BY an active, businesslike water and
sewers committee of the board Of supervisors,
can handle the situation and handle il effect
ively.s T. ...s.I ~ i
There are trained men in the waterWorks
office and the sewers office who know the needs
of the two utilities thoroughly. An investi-
gation by the incoming hoard should determine
pretty definitelE what impros eiaents need to
be made in plant, etc. As to administration.
the Star Bulletin has yet toshear good reason
why the waterworks and sewers should be made
into now department. Plenty Of reasons are
%. he heard why they should not. s.s53 .ss.22s

was the transfer of the Indian capital
from Calcutta to Delhi. Three splinters
of the bomb penetrated the viceroys 8
back and shoulders and he suffered
from the wounds for many months.
Calm in Face of Danger.
Lady Hardinge was the coolest of the
entire party. Her husband tainted
from the pain. and when he recovered
his wife asked him if he was hurt
The viceroy replied: All right. go
on.
Lady Hardinge then said: I'VE can
not. There is a dead man behind U.s."
The elephant had halted. the howdah
had been blown almost to pieces and
the man holding the umbrella over the
heads of viceroy and vicereine had
been killed.
The escape of the viceroy and his
wife was almost miraculous. and the
occurrence caused a sensation through
out the world

BETTER TO TAKE THAN
DANGEROUS CALOMEI

Dodson's Liver Tone is whole
some. reliable medicine that is
guaranteed to take the place of
calomel. Dodson's Liver Tone
strengthens the liver-it does not
drive it to it's work by over stimu-
lating it as calomel does.
Dodson's Liver Tone does not
have any Of the dangerous after
effects of calomel. 1t doesn't
knock you all out for day or
two the way calomel often does. 1t
is a vegetable liquid-absolutely
safe for either children or grown
people. Everybody likes its taste,
and it makes you feel good and
lively.
No restriction of habit or diet
necessary
Get a large bottle at Lake Phar-
macy for only fifty cents and try
it. If it doesn't satisfy vow, if it
doesn't take the place of calomel
to your satisfaction, you can get
your money back by simply asking
for it.

The Germans have tired of lis
tening to the stories of their cruel
ties perpetrated upon wounded and
captive soldiers and helpless women
and children and they have started
in to tell some Of their OWE on the
soldiers of the other side. Probably
many of these stories on both sides
are lies, but whole lot of them are
true, for they come too well anthem
ticated to doubt. War kills pretty
nearly everything that is good in
many men and develops pretty near
ly everything that is evil, and to
such men the invasion of an enemy's
territory simply means loot and
british cruelty to every inoffensive
human being in their path. Civili-
cation falls away from them like a
garment and they stand out as saw
ages pursuing savage methods.
There as plenty of such men in ev-
cry army, and while decent enough
under restraint and discipline,
when that is removed and they get
in an enemy's country where their
native cruelty and lust can have
full swing, they show themselves
for the brutes they are. The very
fact of war makes them inevitable,
for there could be no war without
the spirit of which they are the foul
embodiment. There are plenty of
them in the European armies and
their atrocities will go on unchecked
to the end. They are one of the
big reasons why war is hcll.

The communication in yesterdays
Telegram from Hon. John S. Ed
wards, member of the State tax
commission, was such document as
every taxpayers in the State should
read. 1t abundantly justifies the
existence of the commission as a
means to a good end and shows that
it has done excellent work to pro-
mote the cause of a just and eff
cient system of taxation in Florida
The actual facts of what has been
accomplished by the commission, as
stated by Mr.. Edwards. cannot be
fairly derided nor moderated by
those who can see no good in the
work of that body: and the out
rageous inequalities in assessments
in the various counties of the State
are brought out so clearly and the
injustice made so obvious that the
need for a remedy is almost start
lingly apparent. To the extent of
it's powers the commission seems to
be providing this remedy, ard when
we consider the magnitude and diff
ficulty of the work and that il is a
strange, new field heretofore un-
explored, it ought to be admitted by
fair-minded people that the COM
mission is well worth its cost to the
taxpayers and that it has accom-
plished real good thus far.

CAN'T STAND
ALWAYS ON TIPT0E

There has been enough literature
published in this country during
the past month on the causes of the
European war TO fill many volumes.
This from the Saturday Evening
Post is as good as any we have seen
perhaps the best:
There was situation in Europe
which could issue only in war or
disarmament, and efforts in the lat
ter direction were unavailine. Mill
tary competition among the great
powers had been steadily increasing
for ten years until the tension had
become almost unbearable.. Then
came a supreme effort. Germany
raised her extraordinary war con-
tribution of quarter Of a billion
dollars by drastic special 'aXes Oh
TOP of the heavy ordinary taxation.
France heightened the term of ac-
tive military service from two to
three years. Russia adcDted a
scheme of hugely augmented mill
tary expenditure. England lifted
her naval appropriations to an un-
preceGented figure.
"A man can't stand on tirtoe in
definitely. Military competition
could scarcely be pushed further j.
There must be let-down or a fight !.
The proximate cause-Austria
irritation against Servia-was tri-
vial enough But the real cause was
national jealousy. suspicion and ha'
tred-carefully nursed and exploit
ed everywhere by the military class
and the noisy few who FIND a profit
in war. The grand stock in trade
of these fomenters of war is thai
barbarous patriotism which is mere
" modern extension of the triba
sentiment that made the Indian wht
lived on the south side of the creel
consider it a pious duty to kill on
living on the north side vheneve
he got a chance. Whatever the cos
of this war, there will be anothe
some day if Frenchmen are still
taught to hate Germans, Germans t
hate Russians. and so on.
