reach what might be termed the popu-
lar mind. While there is big percent
of the people who are willing to think
and think deeply, there is larger class
which simply seeks amusement and
does not make an effort to go a bit
below the surface. I think that 'HypO-
critics shows the fact that the curse
of the world today is the deception that
is practiced in every circle of life. II
is a pretty serious play"
Mrs. Carl Lee Smith, chairman of the
art department of the Woman's club:
&c 'Hypocrites' presents a moral in
splendid way. 1 was pleased with the
production. I think that it showed
that nothing good could he gained
without effort and the necessity for
keeping the mind and heart pure in or
der TO see the beauty Of truth. There
was nothing immOdest in it."
Otis Aultman: "The sentiment upon
which HypOcrites' vas built was a big
thing. It was the truth and the truth
hurt / certainly would have passed
the play had I been a member of the
board Of censOrs. I saw nothing OBJ
jecti0aable in the play. There was
more Objectionable matter, in my Opin-
ion, in Annette Keuerman's recent pro-
duction here than in HypOcrites.'
Is Most Unusual.
J. A. Krakauer: Would have
passed .Hypocrites' had I been on the
board of censOrs2 Yes and no. Yes,
because it is a splendid production,
teaching a great truth No. because the
majority of the public minds are not
trained to the point of receiving such
production in the right way, and a
wholly wrong construction is put upon
the play. The play is most unusual"
James Meuttmann: Il did not think
much OF the play for several reasons.
I do not think there was any harm in
it, but I do not think the author eN-
pressed what he evidently wanted to- in
a way that could be presented to an
Unfortunately selected audience
without giving to many minds the
wrong impression and the wrong ideas
From a technical point of view in tho
play the author did not know as much
rs he should about what he was try
ing to show. for a monk in the Catholic
church, under the vows which a monk
would take in his early youth, is not
supposed to know anything about a
woman or what the figure of a woman
the first of the story revOlves, would
not be possible do not think it is
play for young people to see"
Goes to an Extreme.
II. r McClintOck, of the city school
board: 4 thought the idea as shown
in the picture of 'HypOcrites' was true
to life, though perhaps carried to an
extreme. There is n lesson in tEc plat
that would be of benefit to US all if il
was given little thought. While l
think it was going to extremes to pre-
sent the naked truth in the latter part
of the play. I do not see how the play
if it had been modified as the cen
trail idea revOlved about the statue Of
the naked truth in the first part of the
play

A NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ONLY.

The form of government proposed by Harry
Murray and favored in essential features by
some members of the charter convention sub
committee of five, is hybrid. Like another
hybrid, it would have neither pride of ancestry
nor hope Of posterity. 1t would be unwieldy,
Inefficient probably wasteful and certainly
politics-ridden. ....-:.
The plan to elect superintendent Of city
works is hailed by some of the convention as
an observance of the city-manager idea In
reality it is anything but that The city-man-
ager plan is founded on the ideal of securing
an expert to handle city affairs The kind of
an expert who would be secured by election in
Honolulu would be an expert in partisan, poll
tics Several such experts already have
their eyes on the prospective job.
Reduced to its fundamentals, the commission
manager plan is this: A limited number of
members of the city's Legislative body are
chosen, three or five or seven, preferably FIVE.
These municipal legislators appoint manager.
He handles the details of city affairs. He has
to show results, and the commissioners have to
show results or they don't last long in Office.
The manager has not had to 60 through a
campaign drumming up votes on promises of
patronage and other fayors He owes nothing
bipartisan politics. His hope for retaining his
job Is notin pleasing a clique or faction of yot-
elS but in making businesslike record.
Under the Murray scheme there are sixteen
elective offices. Every elective office means
I'D opportunity for politics. Adding to the
elective offices means primarily multiplying
the opportunities for politics. The Murray
scheme or any scheme like it will saddle Homo
lulu with eharter-fof-pol only. 1t viii
woke the vicious trading combinations of the
discredited ward system. It will set the city
back twenty-five years in municipal progress
Some Of the convention members are talking
sIibly about the impossibility Of violent change
The step from the present system to bona
fde short ballot system is not nearly so abrupt
the change will not be nearly so violent, as
was the step and the change decade ago from
territorial to county government on this
iSland.
The opposition on the part of certain.
members Of the convention to the short ballot,
system is that it minimizes the opport @dIfies
for doing politics in the old way. twill give
less opportunity for exrIs ;sssing a public ser
vice And there = signs that some of the
members are Laying on the prejudices Of
others in thRS nope Of beating down the steadily

trenches long and doggedly. Four days of this
fire, concentrated on the enemy's front posi-
tons, is now followed by fierce charges which,
it is claimed, have been in the main successful.
The strategy of the Allies appears to have
been double. First, they allowed the Germans
to drive deep into Russia, detaching many hun
dred thousand men from the western front and
losing undoubtedly many of these in the long
Galieian and Poland campaign. Secondly,
while the Germans have been holding the

A significant despatch last week said that
the Allies were developing "a new method of
