certainty that the convention will discuss the
recall provision for possible inclusion in the
new charter.
The recall should be invoked only under eX-
IRENE proyocafion on the part of a city official
If he is openly malfeasant, he may be i'm
peached The recall is for use where the i'm
peaching power either cannot or will not act
In order to prevent wave of ill-temper from
ousting mayor without due consideration, the
recall election should be possible only on pc
tition of large percentage of the registered
voters.
Here is an instance that may serve to show
the dangerous possibilities of recall: If Geor-
gia had to vote on the recall of Governor Sla-
ton few days or few weeks after he com
muted the sentence of Leo Frank, it is practi-
cally certain that he would have been recalled
Yet throughout the United States, with the ex-
ception of part of the South, his act was held
to be not. only logical, but nobly courageous.
The recall in this case would have been grossly
unfair
On the other hand, Honolulu might well find
a properly restricted recall provision very sal
utary in keeping lax or fagrantly defiant pub
lie officials up to high pitch of energetic duty.
The arguments pro and con will undoubtedly
be among the most interesting at the coming
charter convention.

THE FALL OF WARSAW.

The moral effect of Germany Victory at
Warsaw is likely to be- considerably greater
than the military effect, particularly if Grand
Duke Nicolaievitch, the Russian commander
in-chief, succeeds in his attempt to extricate
his main army and warsupplies from thescity
and vicinity and take up new defensive posi-
tions further into Russia.
But the Associated Press dispatches which
call the occupation of Warsaw the elimination
of the greatest sustained offensiFe movement
of the war are not exaggerated. There is moth
ing else in the year of conflict to,equal in CON
sistent forward progress against. desperate re-
|sistance the drive of the Tehtons from Galicia
up into Poland and around Warsaw. Every
foot of the way from Tarnow to the high
Carpathian passes to Warsaw has been
bitterly contested The Russians had not only
to be about-faced from their campaign against
Austria, but to be dislodged from Przemysl and
Lemberg, driven across two rivers which
offered naturally formidable barriers to the
Tentons, and then back througha country hos
tile in sentiment to the Kaiser and stripped of
supplies by the retreating Slavs. The Ans
trians, of course, afforded some aid, particular
" the Austrian cavalry, but at least IS per cent
of the grim work was done by the three Ger
man armies.
Another great lesson has been given the
world in the necessity for preparedness. The
Germans we're welLarmed, well-equipped we'll
differed. The Russians were short of ammuni-
tions and their military system has not built
up potential officers in the ranks as has the
German system. The Teutons give full credit
to the Slav's ability and courage as a fighting
man and his extraordinary capacity of absorb
ing punishment, but the Russians were scantily
supplied with competent officers.
The capture of Warsaw is one of the half
dozen big achievements of the war.

THE coAsrw1sE Law.

Reduced to first principles the coastwise law
question may be stated as follows:
..Is it better to work to tear down or to
build up?''
Every American businessman would at once
say that it is better to build up.
Yet in suspending the coastwise shipping law
to allow foreign vessels to carry passengers be-
& tween Hawaii and Pacific Coast ports, Con-
gress would be tearing down a system of pro-
lection on American ships with only doubt
fnl possibility of building up any adequate
commercial substitute.
The Star Bulletin has already stated its POI
sition in this discussion. If the Pacific Mail
company discontinues operating here, and if
there. is no other relief through the creation of
new passenger-carrying facilities, then Hawaii
viii be justified in asking that foreign ships
be allowed to carry passengers between island
ports and the mainland United States.
The first logical step in any discussion is to
establish the facts In this discussion that
means to find ont just what the suspension of
the Pacific Mail service is going to mean, where
existing facilities have proved inadequate, if
at all, and what plans are on foot among local
companies to supply the prospective deicien-
eies. The Chamber of Commerce is now col
lecting the factgas to complaints of inadequate
facilities. A meeting will shortly be held to
discuss the whole question.
The Advertiser demands immediate action
to secure suspension of the coastwise law, and
with characteristic temper besprinkles its edi-
torials with epithets and slurring remarks for
those who differ with it, And there are great
manyiwho differ with our morning contempor-

THE RECALL. 4


Comment made in these columns from time
to time that the recall is an elective method
to be used-if at all--very cautiously by city
voters is strongly borne out in a striking ar
ticle by Frederick NJ. Davenport in the Out
look
Mr.. Davenport is New Yorker, an ardent
champion of political reform and a practical
politician as well. He is neither a ward boss
nor adreamer A student of government and
governmental methods he is splendidly quail
fed to do just what he is doing survey the
field Of American state and city structures and
experiences and write of his conclusions.
Discussing the recall, he says:
It Is frcm the same standpoint that the recall ex
cept within narrow limits is unsonnd and even
vicious in principle 1t is blow at calm and deli
berate and dgnifed and continuous leadership OF q
kind which democracy greatly needs As conditions
in America, most men of real ability and power
shun public Office and publc career as they would
pesfilence II you add to the difficulty of bringing
such men the front under-s threatening and dead
ening machine system the further threat Of popular
misunderstanding and disapproval before they have
time to show what is IN them, we shall never get
efficient leadership at ALL Before begin to talk
much OF the recall in the United States we must
make itworth while for men of weight and will even
to listen to the call
THE recall Is a two-edged sword. And it may harm
far more than st helps. Even in city government

the psna f01r>5ear term of the mayor for example

If the mayor of o city is to be recalled at all, he
sbould have sixyear term. and the recall should

What Mr.. Davenport says is OF particular
interest to Honolulu just now because OF the
approach of the charter convention and the

A German correspondent declares the battle
now in progress on the Isonzo front, between
Austria and Italy, the .'mightiest and most
frightful" of the war. If it is mightier than
any of the three Mazurian battles, the present
Poland struggle or the battle of the Marine; if
il is bleodier than the fight for the Carpathian
passes, than the Neuve Chapele or dozen en-
gagements at Arras, st. Mihiel and Ypres, il
sets a new standard in wholesale slaughter
