standard in filling the offices within his gift as
governor that promises we'll
Zone of the greatest difficulties that beset
the governor of New York is to secure men who
are really fit and qualified to discharge the du-
ties of the important offices to which he must
make appointments. The reluctance of the pro-
fessional or business man of high standing, who
must make heavy sacrifices in serving brief
term of office, works steadily to the advantage
of the job hunter class At least they are al
ways available in unlimited numbers for any
emergency.
"Mr. Wickersham s Willingness on any terms
to be district attorney no doubt will amaze
many lawyers with lucrative practice and
strike them as needless exhibition of self
denial But if there were more men of the same
sense of responsibility there would be less rea-
son to complain of the shortcomings of the state
government )
Hawaii remembers with pleasure Mr.. Wick
ersham s visit here nearly two years a4. His
brief utterances showed his sturdy, discerning
opinions on public issues He is one of the
ablest men that ever sat in presidential cabi-
net and one of the great lawyers of the genera
ton who has consistently been willing to sacri-
fee personal gain for public service. r. -.

THE PROHIBITION VOTE IN CONGRESS

That national prohibition should count as
its advocates majority of the members of the
lower house of Congress in the vote last night
is distinctly encouraging. HI
Most of the prohibition workers had no
faith and little hope that the Hobson reolution
could pass Congress at this session. It was
felt that majority of the, house might vote
in favor of it, but canvass several weeks ago
had shown that the chances of two-thirds
vote for the measure were slight.
The fight has barely started in Congress. 1t
took many years to get up momentum on the
income tax amendment and almost as long q
road was travelled by the amendment pfovid-
ing for the direct election of senator's.
After the prohibition resolution passes Con-
gress, it must, of course, go to the states for
ratification. With the progress that statewide
prohibition is now making, there is no doubt
|of ultimate triumph for the dry cause.
Local option is steadily cutting down the
wet" territory; four states recently voted
DIR" and now 1872 members of the lower
house have lined up in the prohibition column.
The big liquor interests are already revising
their expected length of life. = Three or four
years ago they admitted that the United States
might be dry = in 20 years; two years ago
some of them were inclined to believe the booze
business would be wiped out in Is years now
the time remaining for them is set at ten years
and many of the big brewers and distillers are
getting out of the business as rapidly as posi-
bic, foreseeing the ultimate destruction of tile
industry of intoxication. ~

THE LIQUOR Law INTERPRETED.

II IS not the opinion Of the attorney general
on the liquor license law that deals a blow to
the Pleasanton Hotel license. The attorney
general sets forth the meaning of the law and
If the petition for the Pleasanton license is not
valid under the ruling, the blow.is dealt not by
the attorney general but by the men and women
who refuse to appear on the application. And
That is just how the blow should be dealt.
THE Star Bulletin has reason to know that
tie Anti-Saloon League does not regard the
opinion as favorable to its view of the license
law. We should not regard the opinion as
favorable = to either side but as a broad
minded and impartial Interpretation of the law
Itself. If the PIeasanton application IS insuffi-
cicntly signed, under the attorney general S
l1lling, that shows the lack Of sentiment in
iuvor of an open bar in the residence district.
The opinion clears up several knotty ques-
tons. It also makes several comments worth
remembering. Here is one:
Those signing stand in the position of vot-
els for that particular neighborhood and are
presumed to consider its welfare and not alone
financial benefits to the particular individual
noting. The Legislature might well have given
this power 10 the bonatde residents in the pars
feulaf neighborhood or heads of families or
some other class as is often done; objections
q these other classes at once suggest them
selTes at least to one who has seen the amount
1f litigation over whether a district was
packed with so-called residents for. the pur-
pose Of establishing saloon. 1t may be that
tie Legislature considered the holders of real
state as constituting more reliable, stable
Ass than the mere residents, and more likely
d vote for the real interest of the neighbor.

BRITAIN RENTED
STRATEGI(;IaE
TO THE germans
[Assoeiated Pressl

LONDON, England One of The
strangest stories that has. been given
birth by the great war Is that Of the
Island of Herm, the leasing of which
to a German company was recently
discussed in the House ar Commons.
The lease has been terminated, anil
British troops are bilIeted on the ISL
and, but the question is still being
asked, why was England so Lax as to
rent for song an island larger, than
Heligoland, within a.: :-ours steamiag

Herm is one of the lesser channel
islands and at one time supported a
considerable population. 1t is a beau-
tiful spot, with an attractive shell
beach. In 1889 1t was leased by the
crown for $40 a year to the West
Bank Liegnitz, Ltd" which in turn
leased it to Prince Butcher, ven VAIL
staff, descendant of the -illustrious
Butcher of Waterloo and himself a
German. The prince and his family
lived quietly for years in the manor
house on the island. fncurring the
great displeasure Of those who sought
to ramble over the place by closing
all save one narrow pathway on the
beach and plastering about many
warnings to trespassers. ~. y

no time was the prince suspected of

broke cut the matter became one o.

explanation by Sir William Bull

knew moreover that the rent was
about five shillings six pence week;
that steps had been taken to cancel

British troops had been on the island.

After careful investigation and the
preparation of map showing the sit
uation in plain detail Chairman
Charles R. Forbes today submitted a
report to the board of harbor commits.
.sioners recommending the abolition Of
the National Guard rife range at Kar
kaako. He declares that N its pfess
ent location the range Is menace to.
virtually all shipping passing in and
out of Honolulu harbor and places the
entire anchorage outside the harb0r
in the danger zone.
FORBES inspection and report is the
aftermath of the controversy which
arose between Col J. w. Jones of the
National Guard and Harbormaster
Foster several weeks ago. following
a complaint by the captain Of the
Kiyo .Maru that bullets had struck his
vessel while the ship was at anchor
just outside the harbor.
The harbor commission chairman.
advises that the rife range be shifted
entirely to some other point; he.
makes no recommendation of another
site, but Co.'s state in emphatic terms
that as situated at present the range
fixes. danger zone extending fully
1000 yards seaward and so wide that
its west side is right at the spar buoy,
the entrance to the harbor channel.
IF every bullet fired from the butts
struck the targets out seaward the
danger zone would be reduced in SIZE
said Forbes. But that cannot be
relied upon. Most Of the balls fired
do not pass directly out to 1000

an insane delight in repeated efforts
to convince this country that the

vasion and that such invasion would
place US in a most degrading post on,
and they let loose a great big howl
that the country should be put on a
war footing and predict all kinds Of
humiliation for the country unless this
is done. To hear them spout of the
helplessness Of the United States
would make one think that Mexico
seemed haven of refuge" as com
pared with this ''puny upstart" Of an
American republic, Still it might be
