incomparabIy worse. Denial unfortu-
nately is impossible. No verdict which
could be ba4ed on the evidence col
lected by the commission could be
more severe than that which Greek
soldiers have pronounced upon them
selves"
A series of twenty-five letters writ
ten by Greek soldiers, containing
definite avowaIs of the brutalittes they
had committed were studied with par
ticuIar care by the commission
The commission was unable to in
form itself fully on the conduct Of
the Servian army toward Bulgarian
DOn-cOmbatantS but it regards the
desolate waste of burned Villages as
significant. No moral judgment is Ven
tured upon the conduct of the Balkan
races. Partial Condonement Of their
offenses is found by the commission
amid Turkish models Of warfare. the
memory of which was still an open
wound.
! Astrocities Exposed.
In a subsequent chapter there is an
exposure of the atrocities committed
at AdrianopIe by the Bulgarians and
reprisals by the Turks. The recital Of
murder, massacres, torture, pillage,
rape and unspeakahIe crueIties Is con-
tinued. Instances include the drown
ing Of fOrty-tiVe Turks at NayagatCh
by BuIgarians the numbering of three
hundred people in and about ROdOstO
as a Turkish reprisaI. a Greek report
states that the Turkish army killed,
burned and dsbursed a total pOpula-
ton of 1880 in the Niagara dis
trict.
In commenting on the Bulgarian
SerVian country the commission says,
the things we have prescribed, hor-
rible as they are are evidence Of an
abnormal condition which cannot con-
tinue. Nature herself reVOIts against
such eNceSses as We have observed
on the part of both adversaries.'
After a chapter on the War ana
international Law and a Consldera
zion of the economic consequences of
the TWO wars. the commission closes
it's report with conjecture as to the
future Of Macedonia.
What then is the duty of the civil
lied world in the Balkans concludes
The report. respectfully of those nations
who by their location and history are
free. from international entanglements.
II iS clear i'm the first place that they
should cease to exploit these nations
for gain They should encourage them
TO make arbitration treaties and insist
upon their keeping them. They should
sci q good example by seeking judi
ciai settlement of all international dis
putes The consequences Of the re
cent war economic. moral and social
are dreadful enough to Justify any
honest effort ny any person or by any
nation to alleviate the really distress
ing situation.

Another Dream
That Has Come True.

The Tampa Tribune evidently now
regards Tom Johnson as a benefactor
If we may judge from the following
editorial which recently appeared in
that able newspaper:
1t was popular. in his day. to regard
Tom Johnson, of Cleveland as a
dreamer. His ideas for public benefit
were generally scoffed at as impos-
sible of alta lment 1t was because he
worked so earnestly for the people
that this impression was fOstered and
encourag ed by certain elements an
tagonistic to the people.
One of Tom Johnson's dreams"
was realized some time ago. when
Cleveland got three-Cent street car
cares. And now another dream" has
come true. The new municipal light
ing plant at Cleveland, which was
Tom Johnson's idea, has been COM
pleted and opened-and it is furnish
ing citizens with electric lights at
three cents per kilowatt hour.
Private lighting companies in Cleve-
land have been getting ten cents per
kilowatt hour. Naturally they brought
on a hard fight against the municipal
proiect-but it won. The system will
ready 5000 contracts. Naturally, the
municipal plant, at the rates it charges
will ultimately get all the business
The commissioner who has charge of
the p5alI says II Will De paying Tor
itself within a year. The current costs
half a cent a kiIowatt hour at the
switchboard and it is figured that the
plant will return six per cent exClu-
sive of interest on bonds and that
after the latter is paid, there will be
enough for a surplus to apply on eX-
tensions.
It would be a fine thing to have
many 'dreamers" like Tom Johnson
abroad in the land. Men who can
save the consumer seven cents kilo-
watt hour on his lights may be
''dreamers' but they are of the sort
that are needed in every town and
city on this continent.
All of which is true But Tom John
son is now dead. While he was alive
we do not recall that our Tampa con-
temporary ever said anything in
praise of his work. The custom then,
with many newspapers. was to ridi-
cule and condemn him as a danger
Gus theorist and a political dema-
gogue.
Time frequently both softens and
changes our opinions of men and in
situations and we are pleased to note
the new idea of Tom Johnson's efforts
which our friend, the Tribune now en-
tertains.

The SEATTLE ELECTION

The reelection of Hiram G. Gill, once deposed
as mayor of Seattle, is a remarkable illustration
of the pendulum swing of public opinion. Three
years ago, when he was driven from the mayor
ally, Gill was regarded as public menace. But
he has always had a strong personal following
and the great tactical advantage in politics of
being considered personally honest. In the cam
paign just over he went on the stump frankly
the mistakes of his first administra-
tion and asking tIleyoters to be given chance to
remove the stain from his name Thus he Sc.
cured the votes of thousands who felt sorry for
him. rs well as the vote of the so-caled sliberal'
element He was opposed by businessman
with little experience in politics and considered
something of a blue-stocking. The result is the
victory of man only a short time ago repu-
Hated and disgraeed. as has hesn sprobabl no
other man in public life in the Northwest. -
The recall of Mayor Gill in 1911 was given
nationwide publicity. So will he his reelection.
and it will probably be regarded as a triumph
for the evil forces.once dominant under his adj
ministratiOn That is incorrect Gill himself
has repudiated the 'sopen town. and most of the
vote in his favor is an evidence of belief in his
sincerity and the wish of the people of Seattle
to give a fellow-citizen the opportunity to re-
deem himself.

FAITH
To BE RETAINED
BY c, j. Church

Approving the recommendations Of
the standing committee, the members
of Central Union church last night
voted almost unanimously To retain
the present articles Of faith as the
doctrinaI basis Of the church. without
-eauiring assent thereto from candi
dates for membership.
This recommendation also carried
with il instructions TO the standing
committee to receive fer membership
n the church all these who should
give credible evidence Ct wishing TO
lead a Christian life. There was al
excellent spirit CT unanimitv shown at
the meeting. The question as to
whether the church should adopt the
new confession of faith or retain the
present articles was discussed gu tie
thoroughly, interesting points of view
being brought out and valuable com
ment being made. Judge and Mrs. P.
V. Weaver expressed themselves as
being in favor of a simpler form of
confession Of faith for candidates for
admission to the church. Among the
other speakers were a. F Griffths.

The feeling NEST clearly manifest
ed in the meeting was that of mutual
concession, while many who spoke eX-
pressed themselves as being in favor
CT the proposed new confession of
faith, but were willing to waive their
personal preference and vote to retain
the present articles for reasons of ira
Hilton and sentiment Two votes were
taken, the first being informal and

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir: As to those unemployed. il is
certainly stretching the law somewhat
fer our board of supervisors TO cen
tend that cur statutes prohibit using
them On the public streets And there
is common sense in the views taken
by many that to employ these peo-
pie at a dollar day would lead TO
many more coming TO the city from
the plantations. but can not the mat
ter be met by enrolling those already
in the city up to a certain number.
and promise them Just so many days
work. and no substitutes to be takeny
It's the unemployed here that It is
desired to assist, not all who come.
Now, further. let; say. hundred be

uTtRACY TEST UNFAIR


President Wilson intiniates that he doesn't
like the "literacy test provision in the proposed
alien immigration bill now before the senate It
is not improbable that he will veto the bill il il
passes in the form it came from the house
Some time ago this paper expressed the be-
lief that the literacy test is likely to exclude
from the United States worthy classes of for
eigners, and that the object of the bill that of
Keeping ont undesr;bles, will not be reached.
OF course ii is well known that Hawaii will he
hard hit in respect to European Immigration by
this bill Aside from its purely local effect. the
literacy test does not seem a fair way of judging
an immigrants desirability The same opinion
is expressed by the Outlook, which sums mp

BUSINESS
OF QUEENSLAND
IS PROSPERING

The Queensland sugar business is
prospecting, according to Robert Philip.
ex-premier OF the state, in recent
interview published In Sydney pa
per. s..s.
There IS a record sugar crop-2io.-
900 tons-almost double the produc-
ton of the previous twelve months, In
fact. with the aid of what is grown in
New South Wales, there will be suffi-
cicnt for the commonwealth require
meEtS. ~-~.a- 49,
We had splendid rains in the sugar
districts" Mr. Philip went on, The
federal legislation regarding the ex-
else and bounty has made things bet
ter for the farmers. Tie government
does not interfere now. and the farm
ers get higher price for their cane.
The commonwealth government used
10 collect four pounds sterling and re-
turn three pounds sterling. As EVIL
dencing the faith of the Queensland
government in the future of the sugar
industry, the state is erecting two
very large mills-one at Babinda
creek. near Cairns, and the other on
the South tombstone river. near Innis-
fail. The former will be ready in
Fuly, 1915. and the latter a year later.
Both mills are being erected by con-
tractors. and will cost about two hum
dred thousand pounds sterling each.
The c. S. R. Co. has been a big factor
in tie success of the sugar industry.
They have treated the farme rs and the
millers exceedingly we'll"
American Capital in Australia
Mr.. Philip also indicated what the
Queensland government Is doing in
order to eradicate the prickly pear
pest An American Oliver CroIn-
we'll Roberts = has been granted
100, 600 acres of land on condition that
he clears il of pear. and keeps it clear
for certain number of years. From
what we can hear" said Mr. Philip,
the experiments should be quite sue
cessful."
The sheepmen and cattlemen ,of
Queensland have enjoyed prosperous
season. The meat trade is now worth
100000 pounds sterling year to
Queensland, Good prices were obtain
ed for wool. and the meat works have
bought up all available fat stock. More
meat works are being built The firm
of Swift & Co. is spending 100000
pounds sterling in the erection of
buildings and plant on the Brisbane
river; they have also bought premises
on the Alligator creek, near Towns
vile.
Land is in great demand" Mr..
Philip continued, I'VE are in much
better position than New South Wales
to supply it, Only about five per cent
of our land has been alienated. | I'M
derstand that quite 20 per cent of the
land of New South Wales has passed
out of the hands of the Crown"
Referring to current politics.. Mr..
Philip said the parliamentary session
was most uneventful. But he add
ed, "the postal voting clause which
was struck out by the Kidston gov
eminent. has been re-inserted in the
elections bill We have had no strikes
since the Brisbane tram trouble Tn
der bin passed by the Denham gov
eminent, all disputes are referred to
an industrial Judge Taking things all
round, the prospects of the state are
very good And the Liberal parlia-
ment, which is always being threat
ened with extinction, is still in ma
jority of two to one. -
