THE CITY ATTORNEY APPOINTMENT.

The appointment of Arthur NJ. Brown as city
and county attorney puts an opportunity in the
hands of man who can in the next two years
make record of which both he and the city
will be proud-a record for vigorous, con.
scientious administration. He can make a
record for honest enforcement Of the law, above
favoritism and above laxity. A record to be
made or record to be marred
This community is not fighting old fights nor
reviving old criticisms of Mr.. Brown. The
mayor and the supervisors have entrusted to
him the responsibility for law and order in
Honolulu so far as it lies in the power of the
city attorney IS office to promote law and order.
That there has been criticism in the past of
his acts as public officer should spur Mr..
Brown now to all the greater determination to
make record above reproach. The community
is ready to back the new city attorney and in
dorse his efforts in just the degree of real de
votion and intelligent energy he puts into his
duties 1t is distinctly tup to Mr.. Brown T" and
he has the future in his own making.

SWEDEN PREPARES FOR WAR.

Dispatches from Europe few days ago
brought news that the Swiss army has been
brought up to $4,000 men, the largest in the
nations history. 1t appears that Sweden is
fearful the country may not be able to remain
neutral, with war on three sides and danger
zone Of sea on the other, and is preparing to
fight well if fighting is its fate.
1t is officially announced that Sweden now
has $4,000 regulars and 10000 landsturmers.
Supplies of ammunition and war material have
been brought mp to date, and the Swedish mill
tary writer's state that the army has never be.
fore stood at such a high point of efficiency.
Five Thousand new officers and non-commis-
stoned officers have been appointed, and all old
soldiers have been called up. for course of

POLICE PUBLICITY.

Captain of Detectives McDuffie says he is
not satisfied with the newspaper publicity he
IS getting. He tells delegation of AID Club
members invited to confer with himself and
the sheriff that the Advertiser misrepresents
the detective department work and that the
Star. Bulletin does not go behind the Adver-
tieer reports and tell the public the truth Of
what the detectives are doing to enforce law
and order.
What Captain McDuffie evidently really
means ii his reference to this paper is that the
star Bulletin isn't defending him zeaiously
enough from the Advertisers attacks.
The Star. Bulletin has something else to do
besides answering from McDuffie's side
every criticism printed in the Advertiser. Al
lot of them are not worth answering When
this paper feels that real injustice has been
done McDuffie and that as newspaper pub
fishing facts there is an opportunity for use
fulness in preventing unfairness, we state the
case The Star Bulletin objected to the unfair
manner in which McDuffie was attacked before
the civil service commission something over a
year ago, and every contention made by this
paper was upheld in the commission final de-
cision. The Star Bulletin has repeatedly drawn
attention to the good work done by the detec-
tive department We have printed numerous
letters from the captain and other members of
the force. But this paper is not now, never
has been and never will be in the business of
chronically defending the defective depart
ment from Advertiser censure. Life is too
short, real news too pressing. The Star
Bulletin cant be run as personal organ of
the detective department and that is what it
would have to be to answer all the Advertiser S
attacks upon the department and its captain.
Inasmuch as the sheriff and the detective
captain have asked the AID Club to give police
matters proper publicity, !" we suggest that
the AID Club committee, if it takes up this sub
ject at all, start in by getting the facts as to
what has been published for and against Mr..
McDuffie and his associates. Since the captain
mentions the Star-Bulletin, the AID Club com
mittee'is invited to ascertain from the printed
records what has been published about the de-
tective department and its work.
McDuffie is quoted as saving that heavier
fines in police court would help the police This
is no original thought Both papers have re
iterated it and when exemplary fines were i'm
posed have drawn attention to that fact
Publicity-by all means give the detective
department thorough publicity! The Star
Bulletin believes it will be beneficial. Captain
McDuffie hasn't complained to the Star
Bulletin that his department is not done justice
in the columns of this paper, but if that is the
impression he has given the AID Club members,
they are at liberty at any time to ascertain the
facts SO far as we are concerned.

It is question, parentheticaI1y. whether 1t Is truly sportsmaniike to live in a quaint old colonial cottage with furnnce and electric lights. have heard amateurs of tho colonial declare that they would willingly die before they would live in an electrically lighted colpnial cottage. The anach- ronism hdfrifies them: they would have death or candles. Probably they feel the same way about furnace and a bathroom. Yet have no doubt that the builders of this colonial cottage would have opened their hearts to all these inventions; and l am not sure that they would have regarded as anything but funny the idea that their own kitchen paraphernulia would some day be used to decorate my dining room. l go further.

When Pea Tankard Was Used.

It Is true no doubt that among thu carly Anglo-Saxons-of the same stock ae the Germans-tAere was q great deal of hard drinking and a good deal of drunkenness although after tho incursions of the Normans the habits of the country in this respect were greatly improved. Very quaint and very curious are some ot the .eg. u'ations which were adopted tor the purpose of compelling thirsty souls te practice moderation. At the instance it is said, of St. Dunstan, archbishop of Canterbury. King Edgar. for the pur. pose of regulating the quantity a msE might drink. ordained that pegs o, pins should be inserted in the larg. drinking vessels then in use The first person who drank emptieu the tank ard to the first peg from the top. the second to the second peg. and so on.
