wilson POPULAR
But REELECTION
TO BE DOUBTED
Returning From Visit to Main
land, Attorney Wilmington
Talks of Political Outlook
Says America Must Finance
World After War is. Ended

President Wilson is quite popular
throughout the country, but he hasn't
ghost Of show to be reelected
This vigorous comment from Attor-
ney ID. L. Wilmington. who has just
returned from a trip to the mainland
which took him to washington. New
York, Boston, Chicago and other rep
resentative cities, at once drew from
the Star-Bulletin man who was inter-
viewing him the natural question:
|"Why?"
ington, and | don't mind a bit being
quoted on this because on the main
land it's generally recognized.
The South and the Irish element
among American voters control all the
patronage, while the North and West
and the rest of the Americans resent
it and will continue to resent 1t.
Second, while people think that
Wilson's foreign policy is theoretically
correct, they differ very vigorously
notably as regards Mexico in its APP
plicaticn The theory seems to be all
right but-and this is commonly said
when it came to applying 1t to par
ticular instances 1t was badly done. In
the Mexican situation, for instance, It
is generally felt that he should have
recognized Huerta.
in the matter of patronage, the re-
sentiment IS particularly bitter against
the Whole administration 1t is known
that only enc important committee
craftsmanship in the house is held by
Fitzgerald of New York.
The South has controlled all appoint
ments, civil service has gone to the
dogs What the scutherners don't con-
troll the Irish do. There is revival
of feeling against the Irish-not relig
ious luminosity, either. In Chicago an
Irishman who took German name
was defeated in the Inayoralty election
by about the largest majority ever
polled.1
Mr. Wilmington stopped and then
grinned broadly IN tell you. Taft Is
the representative man in the country
tcday-of course he couldn't be elected
On account Of Roosevelt, but he's the
representative man. Wilson has been
mighty lucky but can't see anything
but Republican victory in 1916.
1T is generally felt that Wilson's
European policy is very strong. ! my
self think that Bryan is partly re-
sponsible for it and that he deserves
scme of the credit. Bryan's resigna-
ton and his letters had beneficial
effect-they strengthened the anti-war
people.
Mr.. Wilmington comments that when
Pryan resigned the big fnaRciers and
others were very fearful that was was
| imminent He says moreover that the
big financiers are scared out of their
boots they figure that America must
finance the world after the war and
dent see how they're going to do it.
In some ways they're just as scared
of peace as war"
He said that the growth of the sen.
timent against oppressive railroad leg
islation is enc of the most significant
features of the day and that the new

STICK TO THE DECISION.

Manoa Inconsistencies will be doing them
selves and the city favor If they give what
help is in their power and that is sufficient
to expedite the district improvement work now
contemplated.
The Manoa Improvement is more than mere
Isl local improvement 1t is in many ways a
model on which future work will be based.
For more than three years the city has been
endeavoring to get the local assessment or
frontage-tax plan of Improvement launched in
Honolulu. 1t has been and still is a hard fight.
iii many sections, particularly where the prop
efty owners have listened to the barking of
rheap politicians, the frontage-tax is looked
upon as method of robbing the poor man.
Reason doesn't enter into this feeling. Soap
box orators have told the voters in two mu-
nicipal campaigns that all street improvements
should be paid for out of the general fund,
where there is plenty of money, and that the
frontage-tax plan is a subterfuge to assess
the small owner SO heavily that he is plunged
into permanent debt or evicted from his home.
Against this sort of ignorance-fed sentiment
the supervisors are now earnestly striving to
make their way They know and Honolulans
Who are familiar with mainland conditions
know that practically every city and town in
the United States recognizes the local assess
mcnt plan as financially and morally the logical
plan for paying for street and road improve
ments
Manoa offers conditions as nearly ideal for
fair try-out Of the frontage-tax plan as any
lection in Honolulu, far more nearly ideal than
most The residents are generally wellto-do
Progressive, up-to-date, and public spirited
They need the Improvement badly and are will
ling to pay for it by individual assessment
They are. as able to Judge of the character of
paving they want and the price that should be
paid forsit as the people of any section Of the
city. In other words their attitude is definitely
favorable toward the local improvement idea
and its application in their own instance.
Al favorable verdict from Manoa, after a fair
|Ifout of the plan, will be strong influence on
ot|ler sections of the city, It will answer the
I1mpaigiI .orators who would blind the small
property owners by specious argument solely
fol political reasons. It will help Honolulu to
work out the troublesome problem of paving
.etefia-what sort of material to use and how
0ucl to pay for it.
The present board of supervisors is pledged
10 forward the local -assessment plan. That
plan is based on the approval of certain ma
'o1itr Of property Owners in the section under
consideration. Manoa has provided the neces-
sary majority and the supervisors should now
.o ahead with the work just as rapidly as pos
<bIe There is some speculation as to whether
the bonds will be acceptable to fnanciers. The
InIf way to secure an answer to this is to give
'Ae plan a try ont.
Nanoa has decided on one plan. Stick to it.

"sTARv1NG GERMANY OUT.

The plan Of the Allies to starve Germany
out seems to be no nearer realization now
than when it first began to be talked of, six
months ago. Not only is Germany nearly doub-
ling her production of foodstuffs by cultivating
every possible vacant space in towns and cities
as well as the country, but she is also securing
large amounts Of grain and other commodities
from other nations.

that enormous quantities Of foodstuffs are ponr-
ing into Germany through Switzerland.
1t seems that a convention ratified between
France and Switzerland on July %, 1914, pro-
vides that in case of war, France shall supply
the federal government of Switzerland with
100000 tons of cereal year Reports are
that 100 trucks each loaded with between
twelve and fifteen tons of cereals, cross the
French frontier every day for the Cornavin
station at Geneva, while in ordinary times the
monthly exports did not exceed 1000 or 5000
tons. At the same time enormous quantities of
potatoes, beans, oil, and other vegetable pro-
ducts are passing into Switzerland via Pom
tarIier.
To prevent commerce in contraband all mer
chandise is forwarded to particular depart
ment or province of the Swiss Confederation
1t was found that considerable proportion of
the supplies went to Angst, close to the from
tier point where the German and Swiss railway
systems are linked up
Italy has alsobeen fruitful source of supply
for the Germans, but for some weeks before the
outbreak of war between Italy and Austria the
Italian government placed an embargo OH all
food exports and stopped most of the traffic
across the border and up to Germany through
Switzerland.

FORMER JUDGE GEORGE GRAY'S STIRRING ADDRESS
TO THE WILMINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CIVICS GLASS;
OF SENIOR STUDENTS
PROVES DELIGHTFUL FUNCTION

Former Judge George Gray was the
guest Of honor last night at the semi
annual reception of the senior civics
class of the Wilmington High School.

other guests and, at intervals, was ap-
plauded heartily The full text of
that address is published elseyhere in
this paper
Another speaker at what was ad-
mittedly one of the most delightful re-
ceptions ever held by a senior civics
class was Congressman Thomas w.
Miller. He made an earnest and able
plea for national defense and criti-
cized severely, those who oppose pre-
paredness and seem disposed to have
the nation await attack before doing
anything of a practically efficient ma
ture for its own protection. The SEN
timents he expressed were applauded
heartily.

president OF the civics class, were on
the stage with Judge Gray and Mr.
Miller, the class president introducing
the speakers in brief but gracefully
phrased remarks

pated in the reception. Perhaps fifty
of them were guests of the class. The
Rose Room was decorated, profusely
and artistically. with national and
school flags, towering plants and
evergreen. The students occupied
seats in the centfe OF the room The
chairs on the sides were occupied by
the guests. Near the platform sat Miss

Department. who was In general
charge of the reception. She was con-
graduated heartily upon the delightful
way in which the function passed off.
