sports events for New Years, they
We're swept away on Monday night
when the entries for the big event
closed, and from the reports which
Promoters Angus McPhee and f. H.
Locey have received from Honolulu
and elsewhere. The card as it now
stands is a dandy, and the horses for
the principal events are all now at the
Kahului track and are showing fine
form. Most of the cowboy, bicycle,
foot-races, and some others are post
entries, but it is certain that these will
all be well filled.
Word received from Eben Low, who
is handling the Honolulu end of the
big meet, indicates that there will be
well over 200 visitors from the city for
the event. 1t will require this number
of bookings by next Tuesday to insure
the charter of the Kilauea, but Nc
Phee expresses no concern on this
score. Besides the band of the 4th

The Changes in the Football Rules.

. Football will gain as a sport by the changes
Just made in the playing rules. In the last two or
three years the new style Of game has found
itself. II has been demonstrated that the open
game can be played without sacrificing the offence
10 the defence and depending for touchdowns on
happy accidents or startling individual runs.
There was q time not long ago when the straight
down-the-feld touchdown seemed to have become
a memory and when the drop-kicker looked like
the only sure scorer against an overstrengthened
defence.
Now offensive strategy is again the strategy
which wins. The power and variety developed in
the attack have put fresh thrills into the sport
and pushed it TO the highest notch of popularity it
has ever attained The growth Of public interest
in football can best be gagged by the scale on
which provision has TO be made for the big col
lege games. Harvards gigantic stadium is now
overtaxed. The new football makes demands
which can be met only by a structure like the
Yale Bowl.
All the changes made Saturday in the code
look 10 sterilization Of the present style Of play
One abuse of the forward pass was corrected and
the prohibitions against roughing were properly
strengthened. clean and manly game is the
ideal of the rule makers. A game which the spec
tator NAV follow with greater satisfaction is also
one of the ends now sought, and the rules COM
mittee therefore showed sound judgment in direct
ing that hereafter all players shall be numbered
This innovation has been strongly supported by
The Tribune's sporting department. II will add
to the pleasure of the onlooker to identify the
PLAYERS. and such Identification will do nobody any
harm Only foolish dread Of novel methods has
stood hitherto in the way Of this reform. With
numbered players the spectators knowledge OF
the mysteries of football tactics may soon begin TO
overtake his enthusiasm for the wonderful surface
spectacle Of the game

The Price of Neutrality.

Is Il not one of the ironies Of fate that Uncle
SAM In trying TO remain friends with everybody,
should be gradually mourning the enmity of both
sides in the European war? An American ambas-
sador to one Of the beigerent powers is quoted
as saying: eve are going to be cordially detested
by the whole world when this war IS over" 1t Is
notorious that in both Great Britain and Ger
many disapproval Of this country is openly ex-
pressed on every hand, each nationality accusing
US Of siding with the other.
OF course, this may be explained by reference
TO fact of common psychological experience and
overwhelmingly that to persons in passion
there is nothing quite so completely exasperating
as a refusal TO join them in permitting emotion
TO govern reason. They understand and even
welcome violent opposition, but never calm indif-
ference or cool neutrality. And 1t is particularly
the would-be peacemaker who incurs their sus-
picons and hatred once they thoroughly
reused His most careful advances are received
with the hot hiss with which molten metal greets
a drop Of cold water.
If, therefore, the United States remains neutral
to the end course undoubtedly dictated by her
best interests at the present time, and the bel
ligerents reach settlement which leaves no abid-
ing international sore it is not inconceivabe that
even Germany and England may become friends
before some Germans and some Engishmen for

Varick House.

It Is always pleasure TO welcome the estab-
lishment Of an eminently practical philanthropy,
one which has for its object an increase not alone
Of the comfort Of It's benefciaries, but of their
self-respect es well. Such one is Varick House,
Just opened in Spring street as hotel for self
supporting girls receiving less than SIS week.
New York has needed institutions Of the eort
ever since girls first began entering industry One
Of its greatest problems Of the greatest prob
lens of every modern city, has been that of safe
guarding this class of workers. Alone, underpaid
wretchedly housed, they have in great numbers
become the prey Of commercialized vice. To per-
nit them TO live comfortably and decently on their
wages IN wholesome surroundings is to give them
lust the support they need in their struggle to
lead clean and useful lives.
The pity is that Varick House. with It's splendid
accommodations, its gymnasium and roof garden
and athletic playground, can accommodate only
eighty of the large army of girls who need its pro-
lection. But perhaps those friends Of the Rev.
DR.. Bates who established Varick House in his
memory have pointed out the way to others who
are interested in the integrity Of industrial girl
hood and womanhood.

No Surrender to Patronage Demands!

II is 70 be hoped that the report that Governor
Whitman has lnuckled under TO Controller Travis
On the Tax Department bill Is not correct The
Governor proposed bill which was logical IN
theory and should have resulted IN better and
more scientific handling Of the states tax affairs
under proper administration. 1t would have re-
moved much patronage from the Controllers dis
posal and some responsibility and prestige from
the office. It did not go quite far enough in de-
privine the Controller Of the anomalous functions
he now performs in levying certain taxes; but it
made good beginning
Amendment Of that bill TO meet the Controllers
objections would leave the patronage IN his hands,
available for Organization" leaders. 1t would
also leave comparatively little merit other than
general declaration Of principle, In the Gov
ernor's bill. The Governor has an issue in re-
forming the states tax levying machinery and
reorganizing it on scientific basis, which he
should not let any questions Of political patronage
or official antagonism obscure

From IN. New Republic.l

From the Repuhlic.I
On the twelfth Of February we shall be treated
to a familiar performance. Hundreds Of loqua-
cious speakers throughout the country will arise
from the dinner table and confide to their audi
ences profound conviction that of all our Pres-
dents Lincoln was most completely the man Of
the people, the most thoroughly and typically
American. The official duty of these speakers
will be that Of eulogizing Mr.. Lincoln. Their
real purpose will be that of fattering their audi
ence. If Mr.. Lincoln was so entirely man Of
the people, the people must be very like Mr.. Lin
coin. In point Of fact Mr.. Lincoln was super
fcially a man Of the people, and fundamentally
unique, distinguished and wholly exceptional
individual. In certain salient respects he was
the least typical of Americans. Americans, par
ticuarly those of Lncoln's own generation and
neighborhood, were essentially active, aggressive
and objective men, whose lives were given over TO
practical external affairs, who subordinated
everything else TO the demands of practical
achievement, and whose individuality consisted in
living ordinary lives in an extraordinarily ener-
getic manner. They were superficial, discursive,
easy going, quarresome, and wholly incapable of
preparing in advance for any task or responsible
ity In all these respects Lincoln differed from
his fellow countrymen, and upon these differences
his eminence depends He was not particularly
ambitious, aggressive or practical. In spite of his
lively social feelings he lived contemplative life,
in which the intellectual interest obtained full
expression and which attained high degree of
internal concentration. He fought hard and well,
but he never quarreled. During his formative
years he quietly but unconsciously prepared him
self for great enterprises. He trained his mind
because he enjoyed hard intellectual exerton.
His style shaped itself under the influence of the
Bible and Shakespeare. Thus at period and in
country favorable to the cheap performance
and the easy victory, Mr.. Lincoln tempered his
reason and his spirit for great performance and
costly victory. Was there anything typically
American about that?
It strikes that Mr.. Robert Grimshaw Is need

that the taximeter has registered err
roneously. No charge will be assessed
against a complainant for the testing

The commission has not gone into
the question of how refunds shall be
made in the event overcharges are
found as a result of faulty registra-
ton. The first case of this kind will
be brought to the attention of the taxi
cab company affected, which, it is pre-
sumed, will make refund promptly.
Should the company refuse to make
good the overcharge further regua-
ton by the commission probably would
be resorted to.

provided for a deposit of SO cents for

discourage the making of complaints,
