ENCOURAGEMENT raR REPUBLICANS.

The well-known ability of politicians to do
anything with election figures will come in
handy for the Democrats in trying to prove
that Democracy has won victories in the state
elections s6f yesterday.
The elections, so far as reports which have
reached here show, carry much encouragement
for the Republican party. The defeat of Gov
ernor Walsh, Democrat, in Massachusetts, and
the victory of his Republican opponent Samuel
w. Mccall, is significant. Governor Walsh has
: been popularity supposed to possess trenend-
Gus hold on the voters of Massachusetts, and
personally is an able man. So is Mccall
the people have preferred Republican The
election Of Democrats in Maryland and Ken
lucky was to be expected, as both of these
states are always likely to be found in the
Bourbon column. In New York the victory of
Tammany Hall will carry little hope for the
administration Democrats, since President
Wilson and the New York Democrats aligned
with the administration are at best on none
too-good terms with Tammany.
Democrats will of course claim that no ma
tional issues were at stake, and that these cleo
tions demonstrate nothing concerning the
strength of President Wilson with the people
That remains to be seen. It is true that on the
mainland there IS great praise for Mr.. Wilson
from members Of ali parties and that he seems
to possess the confidence of the country in a
marked degree so far as his foreign policy is
concerned
One Issue which figured in the elections yes
terday was made national by administration
Democrats themselves the suffrage question.
When the president a few days before the New
Jersey election said that he would vote for
suffrage immediately the Wilson supporters
and newspapers the country over said that the
presidents attitude undoubtedly would be a
marked factor in the state elections where the
suffrage Issue figured They viii derive little
comfort from the fact that since Mr.. Wilson s
announcement New Jersey, New York, Massa-
chusetts and Pennsylvania have defeated
omanssuffrage overwhelmingly.

EDITOR

Harry Murray Murray's insistence on the
plan gives the rumor color; furthermore, the
scheme is constructed to fit exactly the Murray
case. n
No matter what Mr.. Murray s abilities, any
scheme of government built around one per
sonality has no place in city charter. To put
in charter provision designed to furnish a
job for any man or set of men is to degrade the
charter.
There are other thoroughly bad provisions
in the charter as it is being worked out. This
is one of the worst. If in its final form the
charter should provide for this new job, this
new cog in machine, this new opportunity
for political exploitation of the city, the voters
of Honolulu will have one more sound reason
for repudiating the work of the convention.

arrive here next Wednesday morning.
For the last several months, Mr.

follows:
All Boy Scouts In the area will be

docking.
That evening big campfire will be
lighted, probably at Kaalawai, and at
this occasion the scout troops of the

SUGAR TONNAGE
ESTIMATES FOR

Estimates placed by local sugar com
panies on the 1916 crops show the gen
eral prospect of good output through
out the islands. Pioneer Mill Com
pany guesses its crop as making be-
tween 10000 and 1000 tons. Last
year the company estimated the har.
vest at,2S.000 tons. which was more
than 5000 tons below the actual yield
Castle & Cooke are estimating their
various plantation yields as follows;
Eva Plantation, $4,000 tons; Waialua

RIDICULOUS AND TRAGIC.

It isEboth ridiculous and tragic to hear APP
parently intelligent delegates in the charter
convention refer to the proposed superintend-
ent of city works as the city manager
As aanatter of fact, the kind of superintend-
emf of City works that will be secured under
the chArter that is being developed will bear
no more resemblance to a city manager than
a hawk does to handsaw. 1t is ridiculous for
delegates solemnly to discuss the benefits this
superintendency will confer upon Honolulu;
it is tragic to think of the retrogression to ma
chine politics and patronage government en-
couraged by this scheme
Admitted that the superintendent of city
works will have a large field of labor and re-
sponsihility of jurisdiction, from the very ma
ture of his position he will be handicapped.
The whole theory of efficient government as
obtained through the city managership is free
dom from political strings The manager is
appointed by the city's legislative body; he is
responsible only to them and they place real
power in his hands. The continuance of his
job rests on the managers producing results;
and the continuance of the legislative body In
office rests on the managers producing re-
suits. Responsibility is conferred; duties are
concentrated; the emphasis is placed not on
pleasing the political bosses but on pleasing
the people.
The scheme proposed for Honolulu is fun
damentally wrong because the superintendent
of city works is to be elected by the people and
must plunge into politics to win his office.
Once elected, be will be tied up in the strings
which during the campaign won him votes
He must play politics to win and the result is
that lie must play politics to stay in office
And right there efficiency will be shot to rags
Current political rumor has it that the entire
move for an elected superintendent of city
works.js to provide a big municipal job for

1TALY's SLOW PROGRESS.

Accustomed as Americans are to the con
fusing reports of fighting from the war-zone,
and the irreconcilable claims of the various
belligerents, nothing quite SO utterly contra
dictory has come ont of the smoke of battle as
the announcements concerning the Italo-
Austrian campaign On one side the Italians
claim steady if slow progress on both Trieste
and Trentino fronts and have twice said that
the Austrian lines had been dislodged and
driven back considerable distances. On the
other side, Vienna announced yesterday that
the Italian offensive has completely broken
down and the Italian losses of 10000 men
have broken their campaign.
It is true that the Italian campaign against
Trieste has been disappointingly slow. More
progress was expected here than in the Trent
section because there were fewer natural OBJ
stacles, it seemed. Yet it has been weeks
since the Italians claimed that Gorilla was
falling and would soon be in their hands, and
many weeks before this Monfalcone was alleged
to be on the point Of surrender. A few days
ago Italian dispatches said that the Austrians
would have to triple their forces to halt the
advance of Victor Emmanuel's army Either
the Italians are winning their way by feet in
stead of miles or they sustained decided check
long ago and have concealed it under the
ample cloak Of censorship. &

Superintendent of Public Works Forbes has
reached wise decision not to attempt to re-
store the heiaus or temples of Hawaii by re-
construction with such facilities as he has at
hand. So little is known in definite detail
of the physical features of the heiaus that even
antiquaries who have given the matter years
of study do not agree on points which are es-
sential if historical accuracy counts for any
thing. Mr.. Forbes enthusiasm and desire to
assure the perlnanency of these relies of an
tiquity are cordially appreciated and in offer
ing his services to any association or individ-
uals who may later wish to attempt this task
of reconstruction he is manifesting his good
intentions. In the meantime, his office will do
what is possible to save the ancient stone
structures from further disintegration.
