BASEBALL AS 4 SPORT.

Baseball as assport will always be popular
in Honolulu; semiprofessional ball in which
the money end" appears to dominate in the
minds of the players and promoters is already
discredited -..-... ~.> 2.~z* 2
That baseball as a sport has tremendous
hold here was wildly shown during the champ
ionship game at Schofeld on Tuesday The
crowd was estimated at 5000, and it was not
all d soldier crowd, either. There were many
civilians there, not few having gone all the
way from Honolulu. The interest ran fever
high because the game was one Of clean and
healthy rivalry It was the spirit of sporting
c0inpHtition at its climax.
Games between even mediocre teams in Ho-
nolulu where there is championship at stake
or where the competition is bona fide and keen,
will outdraw the best Of skilled exhibitions.
The major league stars who came here last
winter failed to draw large crowds of specta
tors when, after the first game or two, they
quit playing their best and began to loaf.
The Schofeld example ought to be good.
one for Honolulu baseball men to remember.
When teams and leagues are organized to fur
nish baseball on straight competitive basis,
with the gate incidental, there will be no
need to worry about tile gate receipts for they.

WHY THE "sHORT-BALLoT,' rs COMING
INTO FAVOR


The constitutional convention which has just
come to close in the state of New York num-
bers among its members some of the leading
American statesmen and thinkers.
It includes Elihu Root, probably the brain
lest man in American public life; Former At
torney general George w. Wickersham, Form,
ier Secretary Of War Stimson and others hardly
less in mental calibre though Of less national
reputation. =
This convention came out strongly in favor
of short ballot government. The document
which it drafted, and which will become opera.
tive IN 1917 if ratified bg the Voters eliminates
many Of the present state elective officers sIt
retains as elective officers only the governor,
the lieutenant governor. the controller and the
attorney general 1t amplifes the governor s
powers, and frees the executive from control by
the legislature. .!.se ~.
The fact that New York will probably adopt
short -ballotplan of state government is not,
of course, a material argument in favor of

TWO KINDS or JUSTICE.

Circuit Judge Ashford draws attention to q
we'll known deplorable condition when he tells
the territorial grand jury the sentiment has
been nurtured in this community that there is
one sort of justice for the white man and an
other for the Hawaiian and the Oriental. This
sentiment is largely responsible for public
apathy when some scandal is revealed In which
white men of influence and social standing are
involved. Apparently nobody expects them to
be punished And It is just this apathy which
retards immeasurably progress in government
al reforms.
E'ail6fe to prosecute in the Hoogs case, how
ever good the reason, has been d stronger fac
tor than most people realize in checking action
in the Bartlett case.
