CHEAP BARRACKS CONSTRUCTION NO
ECONOMY.

The damage done by the high winds at
Schofeld and Cashier during the last few days
furnishes an unanswerable argument in favor
of strong construction for the new barracks
shortly to be built.
1t is reported on good authority that the
federal government plans to put up no perma-
nent structures for the 5000 additional soldiers
soon to come to Hawaii. Necessity for economy
is the supposed reason.
The argument of economy has been torn into
tatters in the last go louisville the wind
was tearing into tatters roofs and walls at
Schofeld. 1t is no economy to build even tenn
porary structures which are likely to be de-
molished by the first lively breeze that comes
frisking over the plains of Leiehua. Further
more, the posts nearer town are not immune
from the high winds. Not long ago set of
quarters at Shafter was almost demolished.
To residents Of those portions of the main
land where are storms Of real violence, the
winds which have visited Honolulu in the last
three days will not seem great. 1t is only the
ightest of structures which suffer. Little
costly damage is done. There is no need for
the federal government to spend a great deal
Of money erecting heavy construction to house
its troops. On the other hand, temporary
buildings are not adequate That was known
before this storm, and the storm has only con-
iir1ned the strong belief of capable and expe-
rienced men who have studied the situation.

LETTERS
DEFENSE FOR HENRY FORD

Editor Honolulu Star-B Bulletin.
Sir: /, for one. am sorry that Mr..
Ford has been compelled to turn back
from his peace mission. To my way
of thinking ridicule for Mr.. Ford and
his good intentions Is out of place.
He is certainly a splendid type OF
the American citizen with no hyphen,
and as such Is the easy equal of any
European gentleman. even though he
has no title except american Cti-
zen," which was neither acquired
nor hereditary.
So far as his attempts to bring
about peace are concerned, they are
to his credit and not half as imper-
tinent or prepostereus as the steady
stream of criticism and near-abuse
that flow necessarily from superb
or (?) Europe of nearly everything
American. III
FORDITE.

roREDooMED TO FAILURE.

A reader Of the mainland papers as well as
of the island press writes the Star Bulletin that
criticism and ridicule Of Henry Ford's peace
expedition" is out of place, and Ford's at
tempts to bring about peace are to his credit. !
No doubt Mr.. Ford has many sincere believ-
ers in the usefulness of what he undertook, and
few Americans but will confess to at least some
admiration for this venture, quixofic as it is.
The widespread suspicion that Mr. Ford is not
ignoring the advertising possibilities of his
scheme will not eradicate this admiration for
a man who is willing to spend half a million
dollars or so without culver.
Yet Mr. Ford's mission may be a positive
harm, not only to the United States but to the
canse of peace. His party was and is repre-
sentative neither of American brains nor
American ideals 1t was denied official recog-
Enition by this country, which insured similar
denial by European countries. The pickering Of
|propagandists destroyed the unity Of the party
and made their individual department as RI
diculous as their combined assumptions Of
success. 4
The government of the United States has
been holding itself in readiness to take up the
slightest authoritative animation that one or
another of the belligerents was ready for peace
proposals. This nation, as the most powerful
and influential of the neutrals, lis the one to
which the warning countries will turn as an
intermediary. An abortive and premature
peace move such as that made by the Ford
party is likely to impair to some degree the
standing of the United States as potential
peace maker. These propagandists have
brought upon the United States the ridicule of
\ L II.
'ly the "peace expedition has been discred-
tied in this country. Their misplaced enthus-
iasms have. entirely blinded their Judgment.
The failure of the Ford party has been fore
seen and forecastfr from the day of its announce
ment. And this failure was certainty when
the peace delegates began fighting among
themselves Then the essential nobility of
their professed aim was hopelessly marred.

THE PASSING OF JEFF M'oARN.


The passing of jeff McCarn from Hawaii is
good thing for Hawaii and good thing for
McCarn.
Few men have come here under such favor
able auspices, have been more cordially re-
ceived, have been given such. general commun-
ity backing at the beginning of an administra-
ton in public office. None has been more
deeply Disappointing From the first cases the
new district attorney tried in the federal court,
his attitude as an officer of the law was re-
vealed. He made quarrel out of every differ
ence of opinion and an insult out Of every com
ment AS an attorney he could not endure the
professional tactics of opposing counsel while
frequently and with i'll success attempting tao
ties Just as irritating and often far more inn
pregnated with slurs and insinuations. 1t seem
ed that from the start he made practise of sus-
pecting the motives of everyone in Hawaii who
would not instantly agree with every vagary
Of his opinion and action. His lack Of self
control made him easy game for just the sort
Of retaliation which comes to public officer
with chip always on his shoulder; when he
was one Of the principals in courthouse brawl
he had forfeited the sympathy and support
that otherwise might have been his.
After his trials and final acquittal-the cir
oumstances of which need not be again re-
vived--there was quite evident on the part of
the community disposition to help him come
back = McCarn himself made such coopera-
ton impossible and the old, irritating incidents
and influences soon brought the situation to
quite as unfortunate pass as before He
criticised and caviled at grand jurors, trial
Jurors, judges, court officials, other attorneys,
fellow Democrats and Hawaii in general.
What knowledge Of the law and ability to han
die cases he possessed was obscured- easily
obscuredAby the turmoil and atmosphere of
hostility which surrounded his office Federal
court officials for months, have been saying
soto voce that the business of the district at
torney's office was woefully ill-done At one
time, prior to the arrival of Mr.. Vaughan, cases
accumulated for months that should have been
disposed of. said the attaches of the court
Meanwhile McCarn was visiting the mainland
and giving out interviews about the gangs
which were trying to ''do him up'' in Hawaii,
the press, the planters etc., etc.
He came with the avowed intention of
Hcleaning up the bad spots in Honolulu" His
achievements in this direction are ridiculously
small The hung juries and acquittals.in the
federal court where he was prosecuting be-
came notorious long, long tgo Both the char
acter of the cases largely sex-cases- which he
inaugurated and his manner of trying them
made the district attorneys office tragic joke
and lowered the standing of the federal court.
IF his tenure of office has operated to diminish1
crime, it is not apparent to the naked eye.
What it has operated to do is to weaken thel

Author OF "Annie Laurie"

"Annie Laurie" according to the gen.
orally accepted story, was written by
a soldier in Flanders to his ladylove
at home. The writer was William
Douglas, and Annie Laurie was one Of
the four daughters Of Sir Robert Lau-
rie Of Maxwelton. Sad to relate, says
the London Chronicle, Annie did not
marry her ardent lover. Some say
Douglas was killed in Flanders, but at
all events Annie was led to the altar
