records for speed Earl Cooper, in a
Stutz racer, ripped off 20 miles at an
average of l06. ~ miles an hour. His
fastest lap laid down a new mark for
the speed demons to seat and made the
sporting world gasp. This lap was
done at the clip Of 100 90 miles an hour
and that was done while the big wooden
oval was being given its official baptism
of speed Then it fell to Barney Old

driver, to lower the time made by Resta.
He appeared upon the track driving
his famous old speeder, the Christie,

A Sad But Wiser Victim

A Westby man, weary of the dryness
of his town, took a trip to Lacrosse
where he proceeded to slake his thirst
not wisely but too well. In his room
in the hotel. he removed his clothing
and went to sleep on the floor. He
awoke to find himself glued to the fresh
varnish with which the floor had been
covered. A physician was called, but
it was necessary to give the man chic
reform before he could be freed. He
returned home minus two large slabs
of skins and wad of back hair Cash

pany could give show" last night, the super
yisors held their meeting on Saturday night,
damned the bill through and hurried it to the
mayor, who was at ball on board the Mary
land. A recess was taken while the ordinance
was sent to the mayor, and when it was re-
turned with his signature, the permit was
hastily issued by the board.
This ordinance requires that the police com
mittee of the board shall approve moving
picture before it can be shown on Sunday. 1t
would have been announcement for the police
committee, afterthe ordinance became effective
Saturday night, to pass upon the picture to be
shown yesterday. But this little barrier was
easy to get around. The police committee, it
appears, was taken to see the picture and
passed upon it favorably before the ordinance
became law. As soon as the mayor signed the
bill, the permit was issued -
Probably this procedure, technically speak
ing was legal Undoubtedly the theatrical
company had secured legal advice. The plan
worked out smoothly in conjunction with a
pliable board. But legal or not, this thing
smacks strongly of Juggling with the law. 1t
looks like a successful attempt to put over"
a special privilege in hurry.
Honolulu has right to expect that its elected
officials will guard very scrupulously the letter
and the spirit of the law and the sacredness of
their obligation to the people. The law has
endeavored to block special legislation and to
prevent the "railroading' of measures through
tire board of supervisors. Such incidents as
these mentioned above may be excused or ex-
planned away. Ignorance or good intentions
may be pleaded But the incidents inevitably
shake the confidence of the city in the munich
pal administration.

APPROVAL FOR THE AMERICAN NOTE

Probably not since President Wilson assumed
Office has any act of his been greeted with such
unanimous approval as the sending of the
American note to Germany.
Critics of the administration were prepared
70 denounce the note as weak and vacillating,
IS they had denounced the supposed American
attitude the moment the Lusitania was sunk.
Those who believe in breaking off relations
summarily with the imperial German govern
ment were ready to brantlsthe note as roo mild:
the peace-atany price advocates We're ready to
brand it as too strong, certain to involve Ameri-
ca in war. Their derogatory comment had al
ready been spread through the American press.
The publication of the note ended most of
this sort of criticism. With remarkable unani-
nifty the newspapers of the country, of every
political faith, upheld the letter of the note as
founded ON impeccable law, and its spirit as the
spirit of justice and humanity. Lawyers, bust
nessmen, publicists, ministers-they call the
note admirable. It's declaration that the sub
marine warfare of Germany as exemplifed in
the last few weeks must inevitably violate hui
man rights echoes the belief of individual
Americans, and its frank, dignifed expectation
that Germany will disavow the acts of which
complaint is made opens the way for Germany
peaceably to settle the issue, if she is minded
for peace,
