Time For a Cledn-Up

THE city attorneys department has new ex-
L cuse now to offer in the Bartlett matter
The directors Of the Honolulu Brewery, from
which Bartlett embezzled, did not request his re-
turn to Hawaii for prosecution. says this excuse
back. A..
1t would seem that the city attorney and the
police have been allowed to go unchecked in their
impudence so long that they suppose any absurd
ity they may choose to invent as an excuse for
their failure to perform their duty will be accept
ed, but it is doubtful if this last premeditated
"blunder" is to go unprobed. III
Conditions around the city attorneys depart
ment have been steadily growing from bad to
worse, until now the very limit OF bold disregard
of all oaths of office and of all pretense of efficiency
appears to have been reached 1t is notorious that
John Cathcart is doing nothing whatever either to
earn the salary the public is paying him or to
hold his deputies in line. Cathcart appears in
court only in his own, private practise, while
three saaried deputies do his work" That there
should be suspicion of his Office is most natural
and what little the public knows of the Scully,
McGrath and Bartlett cases, and what is current
report concerning the gambling situation, give APP
parent ground for much of the talk. lGs..
The police department is utterly and hope1essiy
incompetent, so much so that the whole attempt
to get Scully out of the country to prevent
him from telling in public what he knows and
what he has told already in private to few. He
says that one of his con6dants is the first deputy
city attorney, the man who was so active in Soul
ly's behalf when he was under arrest by the fed
eral authorities.
Sheriff Roses connection with SculIy may come
out if the truth is allowed to be told in the pend
ing Chiffon conspiracy case. and if the city attor-
ney does not have this case mol pressed, as he is
said to be anxious to do.
1t seems about time for the chamber of COM
merce or the civic federation or some other body
with an honest foundation to nominate commit
tee of law and ORDER the first work being the
cleaning out of the AEGEAN stables of the city attor
ney's and police departments.

A MOTHER chapter has been added to the tale
Of the incompetency of the prosecuting and
police departments of Honolulu, tale which is a
lett was assisted in his getaway beyond the reach
of justice by every means within the power of
the city attorney and the police short of actually
notifying him Of his danger of arrest The formal
order of the city attorneys department upon the
sheriff's department to secure the arrest of Bart
lett upon the grand jury indictments, it now de-
veops was not served until eight days after the in
dictments had been returned and the news of them
had reached the Coast in cabled press reports and
letters 'Tr,...'l WI.
OF course, Sheriff Rose could not have been
expected to take any initiative in the matter. That
would have required at least an atom of common
sense on his part Herknew, Of course that Bart
lett had been openly accused of crime before the
license commissioners, that the was being
investigated by the grand jury and that indict-
ments had been returned. These were facts of
so wide and general knowledge that even the
sheriff could not have escaped some inkling of
them, But he let the days slide by without turn
ing over finger, playing the city attorneys game,
and during the eight days between the returning
Of the indictments and the casual mention Of the
matter by the city attorney, Rose never had the
idea, apparently, of calling upon the city attorney
for Instructions or notifying his deputy in San
Francisco to have Bartlett kept under surveillance
Bartlett Scully McGrath! What rank rotten
ness in prosecuting and police departments these
names call up And the connection between Soul
ly and Bartlett may be recalled with the trail of
the booze serpent dragging its Shiny way through
out it all. - III ~" "|"

Battle of Billions

IF LLOYD-GEORGE'S prediction that the ma
ton with the last hundred million is the nation
that will emerge victor in the present struggle in
Europe, "the outlook for Germany is anything but
encouraging" says Henry Clews, who reviews the
financial status of Germany and Great Britain in
his market letter of July II. He says
The world is becoming accustomed to great
events and correSpOndingly great transactions in
financial affairs. The largest financial operation in
history has just been completed, and its effect
upon this market, the only free market of import
ance for the time being, proved quite inconsequen-
tial The successful placing of the $3,OOOOOOOOO
four and half per cent British loan will 60 down
into history as the most remarkable financial
achievement on record. The previous British loan
was $lT5OOOOOOO, making total of $4Z5OOOO,-
GOO since the war began During the same period
Germany has issued loans amounting to $780,
OOOOOO The total amount of loans issued by all
the Allies is estimated at $l0OO0O00O00 while the
total issued by all belligerents is placed at about
$lOOOOOOOOOO. These figures almose beyond
human comprehension. Considering size and cir
cumstances, the British loan subscribed with
remarkable prOmptness, much more promptly than
has been the experience of other nations.
"While the terms attractive, the net re
suits show that in the neutral markets British
CIedlt Is on lOur ana nail per cent OASIS, COM
pared with Germany's credit on a six per cent
basis. AS to how long the belligerents stand
such terrific financial strain, no safe predictions
can be made Rumors of German weakness are
current but|the facts are difficult to obtain so
far British credit is concerned it has suffered
least impairment. Great Britain is not only fnanc-
ing her own war, but also to large extent that
of her Allies. Her resources are enormous and
up to date have proved quite equal to the stipend
Gus strain. On account of her position in the
worlds affairs, Brltain's financial abilities are Of
supreme interest No suitable comparison is pos
sible except that of the Napoleonic wars CEN
tury ago. Since then Great Brtains population
has trebled, while her wealth has increased ten
fold, and it is estimated this war will cost about
five per cent of her total wealth compared with
nearly one third during the Napoleonic war Great
Britain has enormous investments abroad est
mated at $2OOO0O0O,O0O, which provide her with
handsome revenue To this must be added the
profits upon her foreign commerce, the largest in
the world; upon her shipping representing nearly
one-half the worlds tonnage; and upon her domes-
tic industries, all of which are highly developed
If it be true, as Lloyd George predicted, that sue
cess in this war would ultimately depend upon
financial resources, the outlook for Germany is
anything but encouraging"

Work on the remodeling of the CAPT

City Attorney Cathcart, waking up to the fact
that he is city attorney, complains that the press
of Honolulu has indicted, tried and convicted
Bartlett The inference is that the press has
usurped Cathcart's authority, but this inference
would be incorrect. The press neither nole

him to break out Of, Jail prior to the passing OF

It's funny how any Hawaiian boy with dime

astute detectives can only find about one agent

Has that item about so much paid to the Dele

TN the United States events OF
epoch making character have oc-
CURED since the close of 1918.
Just barely escaping a war of
our own with Mexico. we became Sc
rIously affected by the upheaval of the
worlds finance and commerce brought
about By the almost unbelievable trag-
edy which mas shaken all the earth.

secure aver when this unnatural up
heaval of conditions came. but the war
upset our economic conditions.
The complete suspension of the stock
and commodity exchanges throughout
the country occurred as soon as Ger
many's attitude became evident July
31st the New York stock exchange
closed Its doors. and the day following
Germany declared war. Rumors OF
war had begun to dig deep into the
pockets of Uncle Sam when 1t became
necessary TO ship load after load of
gold abroad. as foreign countries called
npon us TO exchange u metal for
American securities owned abroad. Up
to the time when England declared
war on Germany many millions of the
precious metal had left our Golfers, but
at that N heavy shipments from
this country almost ceased and Great
Britain established a branch of the
Bank of England in Canada to take
care of the exchange.
Wilson Declares Neutrality.
President Wilson's declarations OF
neutrality soon followed. while an Of
fer of his services In bringing about
peace among the warning nations was
adjudged unimely. and he decided that
the countries involved must first show
they are ready for mediation before he
would again approach them.
With England commanding the sea
with its superior navy German ship
ping across the Atlantic ceased almost
at once. This had a serious effect on
our trade. and plans for the re-estab-
Iishment OF our merchant marine re
ceived an impetus never before eqnaled
since our flag dropped from a frequent
to an unusual sight upon the great
water highways of the world. This
impetus has resulted in important
changes in our maritime laws. and
numerous vessels heretofore flying for
eign ensIgns have been enabled to
change to American registry.
The buying of ships by the govern
ment has been taken seriously In hand
by congress. the idea having the ear
nest approval of President Wilson.
The most vital setback to the cotton
industry since the civil war came upon
the south like a shock with the call
to arms in Europe.

Troublesome Mexico.
Not a day has passed during the past
twelve months but that the Washing
ton administration has "watchfully
waited events in Mexico. With our
troops still on the Texas border our
troublesome neighbor has created q
sore spot in our side which hurts con-
siderably, but which has of late been
somewhat minimized by the impor-
lance OF the great European struggle.
