ON TRIAL

Self government is on trial in Hawaii. Local
ability to handle local affairs, and handle them
effectively and economically, Is under the acid
test. ,s.
The territorial administration is making in
cessant efforts for an economical handling Of
affairs during a critical financial period. No
less must the municipal and county govern
ments cut their cloth without waste. Certainly
an Improvement must be made over the records
of recent municipal administrations.
Though the national Democratic party is
he'party of states rights and ostensibly of
home rule the tendency - do mstffwo years
has increasingly been to settle 1Iawaii's affairs
at Washington without much consultation To-
calIy. Witness the difficulty of getting hear
ing on the sugar tariff; witness the appoint
meht of mainIanderS TO federal Offices. Re-
Gently tile news came that the house had
passed a bill seriously limiting appeals from
the, territorial supreme court to the supreme
court of the United States-passed the bill
without hny consultation of Hawaii. These
are iIlustrations-many more could be cited
Of the manner in which Hawaii is being admin
istered from Washington.
Porto Rico is making, strenuous efforts to
secure more home-rule. Governor Arthur
wager went to Washington to work for it. The
island desires bicameral insular legislature
instead of the present appointed council. Main
land papers have taken up the cause OF the
Porto Ricans Thus we find the Christian
Science Monitor declaring that the lower courts
slloald be presided over by natives, the legis>
latufe given wider powers, and the island put
in line for the rank of territory and later that
Of state.
Porto Rico has no such record OF a self
government of generations as has Hawaii; no
such horne written body of laws, recognized for
their breadth of authority; no such history of
voluntary annexation. If ever territory's
record argued for broader powers Of self
government, that territory is Hawaii
Self government must not break down under
thestestsi that are put upon it more and more
heavily, 1t must stand up and move forward
5 Ills no easy test the new city administration
must undergo. Honolulu's problems of good
streets and good roads; an adequate water
system; police and fire protection; the support
Of educational and charitable Institutions; the
whole development of the city to meet its COM
mefcial future; all these demand wise heads
and firm hands,
The new city administration is not legislat-
inc and acting for the Republican party, nor
event for Honolulu alones In very real sense,
its record will have great bearing upon the
matter of self-government in Hawaii.

STICK TO ECONOMY.

Pressure is already being drought on the
new board of Supervisors to raise salaries in
city offices.
The city attorney askssfpr apisessaH s.reaad
in his department. Some of these may be
needed; some obviously are not. And if there
is a general salary raise in this department,
every department head will feel that he is en-
titled to put in similar request.
City employees are petitioning for larger sal
aries Job-hunters are bowling along the trail.
Politicians with an axe to grind are calling for
someone to turn the stone. All sorts of argu-
lnents all sorts of influences, are being brought
10 bear on the new officials to undermine their
program of economy.

He adopted at the outset and with

that policy, under the most trying con-

reason to suspect that Germany had
suddenly been bereft of both ocn-
science and intelligence. She was sup
posed to be as civilized, as law-abiding
and as humane as other nations. That
she should prove herself barbarian

Three Events Won by
Chalmers in This State

Winning three firsts in four starts
is record that even a professional
race driver might be proud of. but A. e.
Walden, of Uniontown. Pa. driving a
Chalmers Six-40 stripped touring car,
sees nothing exceptional in the per-
formance.

ton Racing Association, held at Wash
ington,. Pa, October Z, Mr. Walden had
entered the Chalmers owned by F. A.
Close. in all four events on the pro-
gram. He captured the first event a
ten n-mile race for cars with a maximum
piston displacement of 230 cube inches
in 1884, his nearest competitor being
over two minutes behind.
Without adding further supplies or
the second ten-mile event for cars
from 230 to 800 cubic inches displace-
ment This event he also won easily,
defeating a big field of cars, in 1851 z
In the third ten-mile event for cars
under 450 cubic inches displacement
the Chalmers finished in third place.

feated a classy field of cars in 42:S0X
The fastest mile made by any car in
the days racing went to the Chalmers.

PROPER AGE FOR MARRIAGE

And so they were married and lived
happily ever afterward
There the old tales stop, with never
a word concerning the accomplish
ment of that satisfactory result. The
boy prince and the girl princess mar
ried and were therefore happy. Fic-
ton, romance, artists, photographers,
poets, and musicians have pictured
the young girl as bit of delicate
Sevres ware; the youth of twenty as
the daring hero, strong and conquer
ing. She is portrayed as an idyllic
dreamer; he is capable of planning
and accomplishing great deeds.
Such is romance, but what are the
facts when a boy and girl follow the
promptings of their fancy and marry ?
Only a consensus of opinion from
physicians, eugenists, and the divorce
courts could answer this question. In
most of the States of the Union there
are more marriages of girls between
the ages of sixteen and twenty than
between the ages of twenty and
twenty-six. More boys are married
between seventeen and twenty-one
than between twenty-five and thirty
The natural conclusion of medical
science-that science which touches
both the souls and bodies of human
beings-is that a man is not really
fitted for marriage until he is at least
twenty-five and that II he waits until
nearly thirty he is a thousand times
more certain of proving a good hus-
band than If he married before he was
twenty-five. The girl is not fully
grown before she is twenty-three or a
little older, and until that time she
needs all her, strength in attaining her
maturity.
While sentimentality may urge early
marriage. all physical and moral facts
refute this dictum. People have nc
right to marry until they know them
selves and are fit to assume the re-
sponsibilities of life. Youth is ignor-
ant of itself and of its relation to
others. = John Stillwell in the De-
cember Mothers Magazine.

ReoE E.E NICHOLS.

Hanover. N. H., Nov. 26.-The trus-
tees of Dartmouth College have ac-
cepted with reluctance the resignation
of DR.. Ernest Fox Nichols, president
of the college, who will accept chair
in physical science at Yale.
Professor Nichols resignation will
not take effect until June so, 1916. He
has been president of Dartmouth for
six years and a half and during that
time has done much to put the school
upon sound basis, financially and
otherwise.
Professor Nichols is widely known
for his research work in physics and
it is to take up this work again that
he has given up the presidency of
Dartmouth.
