EeveTting to the Beretania street

little ones derive from It, making for
their healthy development-which
means future saving to the taxpayers
in the items of tuberculosis and indi-
gent sick-can feel anything but an

semblies and carnival uses. It is
argued on the other side that the
block Eva OF the park could be con-
ldemned, making the area large enough
for all the purposes in question,
but the proponent OF this course has
not brought forward data to show that
it would not cost as much or more
than the purchase Of the Beretania
plot

5. Against the plea that the land Is

never be cheaper, hence if the other
arguments in favor of its acquisition

A LEAGUE OF NEUTRAL NATIONS

A league of neutral nations could help bring
peace to warning Europe If the members of the
league would stand together Conseque atty
the steady growth of neutral sentiment in favor
of the formation of such a league must be re-
garded as of the highest Importance
Cine neutral nation, by determined and
righteous stand, has already been able to In
fuence the modification of Germany's subma-
rine warfare. And this nation, it is obvious
has been able to exert on Germany little or none
of that pressure which is almost as powerful as
war economic pressure
If such neutral nations as those of North and
South America, Sweden, Norway, Denmark,
the Netherlands and Spain should stand to-
gether, they could by the exercise of economic
pressure bring to terms almost any belligerent
except perhaps the Teutons. 49,
8 The conception that such a league at the out
set would demand that the Allies and the Ten-
tons lay down their arms is silly. The first
move would not be for immediate peace, but for
observance by the belligerents of the neutral
rights which have been so nonchalantly tramp
led under the feet of the marching soldiers and
ground under the keel of warships. IF beliger-
ents continued to disregard neutral rights, the
league could order the ports of its nations
closed to commerce with the Offending conn
tries Very likely the belligerents wonh not
risk this. They would prefer to abandon their
,lnsanctioned methods.
Ex- President Taft and several other Ameri-
can authorities have been in favor Of this neu-
trail league for many months and have publicly
advocated it. Possibly it is not the best con-
ceivable plan, but. it might serve to protect
neutral rights better than they are now being
protected. = SIS.

Mr.. Martin uses one Of the argu-

come, after Honolulu became a real
city when public opinion in Honolulu
would compel the acquisition OF beauty
and recreation spots throughout the
city and that the prices OF land would
then be much higher than they are to.

The charter recommended by special COM
mittee of the Municipal Research Club deserves
the most careful consideration of the charter
convention which meets next week, and will
receive that consideration from every delegate
who is wideawake to the needs of the city and
whose attendance at the convention means
something to him.
The charter was drafted by an able commit
tee consisting of Former Governor w +. Frear,
Judge G. w. Ashford, G. r. Hemenway, w. "a
Mcclellan, Al. H. Tarleton, L. NJ. Judd and
Judge w. L. Whitney. 1t is d nom partisan
committee. Furthermore, it is composed not of
theorists but Of men every one of whom has had
practical experience in municipal politics and
most of whom have had considerable insight
into municipal government.
The remarks of one of these men is specially
interesting. n confess that / haven't been
much in fayorsof the short ballot form of gov
eminent, z he said, but as have progressed
with the study of charter matters and the work
on this draft, am coming more and more to
!, favor II and the city-manager plan
His IS the common, one might almost say the
universal experience, Study of American mli-
nicipal government leads inevitably to the con
clilsion that efficiency can be promoted by
eliminating some Of the elective offices and put
ting responsibility in the hands of men who
can be held responsible.
The Municipal Research Club has no axe to
grind in its discussion Of charter reform It's
members are not out after any thing except good
government 1t is to be noticed that they have
not recommended commission government =
They would retain the board Of supervisors
who are 70 appoint q city mama 1he board
would De thoroughly representative one The
charter a. recommended BY the Club s commit
tee VIII take away none Of the power of Che
voters ID fact, its ultimate effect would be- to
incfease the power of voters because 1t would
center responsibility on those elected to office
and therefore put them more under the control
Of popular vote
There viii be other charter plans presented
and It IS probable that each of them will have
good features. Lively discussion is to be de-
sired, but it is to be hoped that no delegate will
take at the outset the position that the present
scharter is good enough because that is ignor
ance; and that no delegate will assume that
charter revision is an attempt to put some
thing over on the voter, because that is fool
islness
