[. E. THAYER rs RAPIDLY
RALLYING FROM STROKE

L. E. Thayer. who suffered a slight
stroke of paralysis while visiting in
Hflo q few days ago, returned this
morning on the Kilauea, and was
taken Immediately to the Queens Hos
pital, where tits hoped that rest and
quiet will bring about a speedy and
complete recoiery
81 Mr.. Thayer was accompanied home
byi his wife, his SON Wade Warren
Thayer, and his daughter-in-law, who
were visiting with him In Hawaii, but
who were at the volcano al, the time
when he was stricken. Secretary
Thayer says that the recovery of his
father in the last few days has been
remarkable, and that while he has
been in bed most of the time since
the stroke, tits thought he will soon
be able to sit up.
Doctors attending the stricken man
say that 1t is only matter of time
and rest until he will be entirely re-
covered. The leg and arm which
were slightly paralyzed Immediately
after the stroke have now regained
their former strength, and the speech
which was affected Is becoming normal
The visit ofsthe Thayers in Hawaii
was cut short by Mr.. Thayer's misfor-
tune, as 1t had been planned to stay
considerably longer. Secretary Thay-
er took up his work at the Capitol
again this morning.

EDITOR

it is doing big and constructive work in
measuring water supply and compiling useful
statistics In view of the keen interest that
Mr. harrison takes in the matter of water for
Honolulu, it is reasonable to suppose that his
advice and assistance will be welcomed by the
new water commission, just as should be the
advice and assistance of the city engineer and
others who are willing to give of their knowl-
edge and ideas.
The Star Bulletin believes that the water
commission has great possibilities for good.
This paper has again and again urged that the
entire water supply situation be cantassed by
a competent body Of men, The mayors COM
mission is a good one. Its members and Mr..
harrison and Mr.. Whitehouse are all working
for the same end, and there need be no misun-
derstanding- sharpness Of retort-if their
ideas don't always agree. But this is particu-
larly time where ideas are needed, and so,
too, is a free, frank and emphatic expression
of them. @

FACING THE FACTS.

The heart of Judge Gary's Commercial Club
speech in its references to national military
policy is this:
:stWe have during the past few months been
forced to full realization of the necessity Of
being prepared to protect our country by
force; that, while we desire above everything
else peace and friendship and cordial intimate
relations with all other nations, we know these
cannot be maintained unless we are fully pre-
pared to protect ourselves against unjust and
unwarranted attack. With high sense Of JUS
tice and equity and moral obligation, With a
disposition to accord to all others an equal ops
portunity with ourselves to reap the benefit of
the worlds advantages, we cannot be certain
in this age of human weakness, of selishness,
of greed and the infirmities of jealous suspicion,
that we shall not be imposed upon and perhaps
destroyed unless we are prepared with the ar
gument Of force in the last extremity.
Recognition of this as a guiding principle in
evitably brings the conclusion that army and
navy expansion are necessities for national
safety and development.
There is no danger Of the United States run
min wild with the so-called 'militarisfh.s The
temper of the American people is primarily
peaceful. But it must be peace with honor.
The danger is that we shall lull ourselves into
false security believing that other nations have
no more plans for conquest than we have-noI
more need for new territory than we have. The
danger IS that the peace-at-any- price gentry,
through their preachment that American rights
and principles are not worth fighting for, will
fatally hamper and hinder military prepaf-
edness e3s

While politics has something to do with the
failure of our roads, our system Of repair and
maintenance, or the lack of it, would destroy
our roads if there were no Politics involved.
In our campaign for better roads we should
determine to adopt some system Of patrol and

wise it is folly to spend money ON roads.
We have no right to invest millions of dol

1t need make no difference to the United

the governing factors in this case If the Lee

submarine commander to halt, and Il, under her
charter to the Allies she had put herself out
