complete as a wellrounded government, bnt
its various branches work inharmoniously
The road and police departments are in con
slant turmoil Of politics. And yet when the
proposal is seriously made that the beneficial
experiences Of other cities be applied here, a
howl is raised that reaches high heaven. And
when, after three years of agitation, charter
convention is secured, the main movement in
that convention is to add still further to the
political exploitation of the public service

WHY SURPRISE

Dispatches say that the prevailing sentiment
in the English press upon Secretary Lansing s
latest note was surprise at its emphatic tone.
Why should the British press be surprised
For months this government has been point
ing ont with patience and nnansWerable argn-
|me1t that the British commercial blockade
violated neutral rights. Because Uncle Sam
did not begin his exchange of views with bluff
and buster, bnt couched the notes in courteous
yet plain language, England seems. to have got
the opinion that our administration would go
no further. One would think that the con
clusion Of the note-exchange on Germany Is
submarine warfare would have enlightened
the British editors, but apparently it hash t.
After the London press has recovered from its
surprise, we shall See more comment to the
effect that rupture is unnecessary, that Britain
can now afford to modify the blockade, etc,
and presently our department Of state will
doubtless receive note meeting the American
position.

WY NOT BENEFIT BY THE EXPERT
ENCE or OTHER CITIES?

Though the stand pat forces In the charter
convention are much too strong to allow the
city -manager plan to be given trial here soon,
the fight for efficient government will 60 on
with increasing vigor as the taxpayers come
to realize the high price of inefficieney.
What cities are accomplishing under the city
manager plan has been pointed out IN instance
after instance by this paper during the last
few months. The Star Bulletin is still getting
letters from mainland municipalities telling of
their experiences. Here, for instance, comes
Cadillac, Michigan, through O. Z. Carr, its
general manager. Answering some questions
put by the Star Bulletin, he says:
.'Under the commission manager form OF govern
ment the expenses of this city per cent
although there has always been exercise Of close
economy in administration. We have made it our
aim to receive 81 worth of value for every dollar
expended Our money has gone as far as it would
have done In private enterprise. which as you

pockets to help in giving the city what It needed

and cement work and il is making money on every

this summer"
Meanwhile Honolulu's overhead expenses
are growing every year and some of the city s
departments are VIGOROUSLY inadequate. In
Honolulu. moreover, large part of what are
properly municipal functions are carried by
private generosity and philanthropy. The
Fairgrounds are supported from private funds.
Much of the high school educational work of
this city is carried by private institutions. The
promotion work, a true community activity,
gets comparatively small support from the
municipal treasury. Not only is the city in

From the ManI News.

British politicians by habit indulge in ex-
trayagant statements when attacking the other
fellow. Moreover, the British are quite used
to their Parliament being the scene of violent
|denunciation by members who in time of need
will give the last ounce of their support to
their country. Therefore the diatribe of Lord
Loreburn yesterday, in which he predicted that
if war continues indefinitely revolution and
anarchy might follow, need not be taken too
literally. It will not prevent Great Britain
from moving steadily along raising larger and
larger armies and building navy mightier by
a good fifty per cent than any that ever before
flew, flag to the seas. It will, of course, pro-
dnce discord at home and encourage the dis
sident elements but there is some truth in the
saying that Great Britain fights best abroad
after fight at home.
