A NEW Achievement FOR THE U, S,
NAVY.

new iuster is added to the American flag
by the feat Of the X submarines which reached
Honolulu Yesterday. Their achievement in
coming TO Honolulu under their own power is a
new record for the American navy and for the
Pacific ocean. 1t is an achievement the navy
of any country would be proud TO claim. e. o..
On this cruise the K 7 more than doubled the
best previous record in the matter of mileage
covered. Furthermore, the voyage down the
Atlantic coast to Key West, a matter of a
thousand miles, was quite different from the
open-sea cruise from San 'Eraneisco to HOMO
lulu The submarine Emrtlanders say also that
even those members of the hotilia which ac-
cepted aid were not in any sense disabled. The
navy officers wished to maintain fair speed
for the entire fotilla and towed one or another
of the diVOrs while minor repairs were being
made. If it had been necessary, all of the sub
marines could have come here unassisted
Honolulu is glad to welcome the K hotilla.
just as Honolulu will be extremely sorry to see
the + boats 60 to the coast for repairs and will
hope for their early return. The "boys of the
submarines are deseEyodly popular here.
Those who come with the K boats will increase
that popularity.

NECESSARY, SAYS
CARNIVAL HEAD
"PaIace of Fortune" One of
Attractions; "Joy Zone"
Will Be Called "Maze"

Beginning Monday OF the coming
week applications will be received by
the Mid-Pacific Carnival, Ltd, for am.
usement and advert sing concessions
in the Carnival City at Aala park
Two are on file already, one for a min
Strel show and one for a Punch and
Judy show.
Il am perfectly confident" reiterat,
ed Director General Cooper today,
that the Carnival can be financed
without any assessment this year on
the stock The unpaid balance on the
assessment called last year will be
sufficient for our running expenses.
Mr.. Blake, our treasurer, has been au-
thoriZed to employ a collector to bring
this money in. On the books 1t shows
at approximately $4,000.
But the Carnival City ought not to
cost us a cent, any more than the Joy
zone cost the San Francisco fair a
cent. They call the avenue of conces
sions The Zone in San Francisco; We
shall call it here The Maze.
"One of the attractions of proved
merit have in mind is the Palace of
Fortune. In another island cOmmu-
nifty. set. in another ocean, where they
also have mid7winter. festivities, the
program. from constant repetition had
been worn thIeadbare, Someone
thought of the Palace Of Fortune and
it. was. such a success that they had
to turn away admissions.
Draws Veil Of Secrecy.
Il may say that the inventor and
original producer of the first Ralace
of Fortune is at our service. 1t won't
hurt for the present to keep his-or
her-name in the dark, and to veil
the details of the palace with a little
secrecy. Uncertainty and fortune go
hand in hand.
Mystery, for which l brought back
suggestions from San Francisco. Some
of the material at the fair ought to
be available for our use here, If the
negotiations have under way terminr
ate as favorably as hope. The fair
closes early In December and the Car;
nival opens late In February. Owners
whose material will be lying idle on
their hands after the fair closes will
be glad to see it working again, and
the cost to the Carnival should be
correspondingly reduced.
The Mardi Gras Bal Masque, the
Director Generals Ball and the Dance
of All Nations throughout the Carni-
val week will be held outdoors In a
Greek tfesfer, where also, will be Civ.
en- our concerts and choral singing,
Shortly expect to have the entire
Carnival City mapped out and shown
in architectural perspective. The
plans and drawing will be reproduced
in the newspapers and afterward plac-
ed on public view"

1T WORKS ELSKWHERE-WHY NOT
HERE?

A perfectly good reason why the city-man-
ager plan should work successfully in Honolulu
is that t'has been notably successful in cities
OF the United States whose municipal problems
are not greatly different from those of Homo
lulu '-,-"~ 81. 90. .:.. '...' - - ..' - 49,
A good deal of the talk about Honolulu being
different from any mainland eityP is bunk,
plain bunk. You will notice that thu. men who
use this sort of an argument generally know
nothing by personal experience Of municipal
government elsewhere. Either that or they
are men with some personal political end to
serve, and hunt for any kind of an argument
that will make a noise to the voters
The things this city has to do in the way of
physical Improvement and DEVELOPMENT are
the things cities all over the mainland have
done and are doing. Honolulu's population,
while different in racial elements, is little diff
ferent IN education, in pereeptiveness and re-
ceptiveness, in willingness to do the right
thing, from scores of cities on the mainland
where progressive charters have worked sue
cessfully. There are mainland Municipalities
behind Honolulu in the intelligence of the
average voter which have found their financial
salvation in businesslike administration made
possible by businesslike charter
The great value of the city manager plan is
that it helps to reduce the city's "overhead''
expenses. One of the letters that came to the
Star Bulletin as result of its recent questions
directed to mainland executives is from the
city manager of Manistee, Michigan. Mr..
Charles +. Ruger. Here is part of that letter:
In my Judgment the city manager plan is the
most ideal plan adopted for the operation of
affairs of cities. have hesitancy in saying that
our people are Sufficiently satisfied and under
circumstances would they go back to the old polt-
cal-rued methods of the past We have perfect
ganization In all departments receive full value for
every dollar expended for material and labor Each
department head has full control of the department
and to him alone look for results With com
missioners selected from your successful business
men and with competent manager Of good execu-
tive ability you cannot make any mistake in adopt
ing this plan. There fully SO cities operat-
ing under the city manager plan. While | have not
been in touch with all of them those that have
been have materially reduced overhead expenses"
1t is noticeable that some of the men most
outspoken against the city manager plan pri-
vately admit that it is the best plan of city
government yet tried, but say that "it can It
be put into operation now-Honoluu ism It
ready for it," When in the name of common
sense will Honolulu be ready Must it be after

ANOTHER FLAG TO FLY.

Announcement that the MatsOn Navl CATION
Company will have new Mathematician steam
er ready in 1917 is proof that this company, in
which Hawaii feels particular pride and Hawaii
folk feel personal interest is progressing as
business opportunities progress
Hawaii through it's businessmen of the HO-
nolulu Chamber of Commerce, stood by the
principle of support for home industry and
protection for American shipping, at a time
when strong and persistent effort was made
to SECURE in this territory an expression favor
ing the suspension Of the cOastwlse shipping
law and the competition of foreign steamers
in the passenger business. One of the potent
reasons for the refusal of businessmen to en-
dorse any such expression was the MatsOn
Navigation Company. So it may fairly be said
that Honolulu has stood by Capt. Matson. The
fact that his company will put million and
probably million and half dollars into new
steamer shows that he and his associates are
willing to invest their money in Hawaii bust
ness. 1t is reported that the last steamer built
by the company has not yet been paid for in
full. If this is correct, the new venture is all
the more creditable.
The immediate passenger necessities will be
cared for by the steamers now on the run and
by the addition of the crack liner Great North
ern for the rush season. 1t is well within the
probabilities that by the time the new Matson
liner is ready to enter service, passenger traffic
between the islands and the coast will be SO
we'll developed that the comingao Of the Matson
vessel will not diminish the patronage of the
liners then on the run-in other words, that
thereH be'enough business for all.
And it will all be under the. American flag
