SHOWING IT'S HAND.

The charter for politics only crowd in tho
charter revision convention is now beginning
to show its hand.
Last night the sub committee Of five named
to draft a new charter came out in favor OF
the appointment of district magistrates by the
mayor on recommendation of the supervisors
in each district.
This is nothing bnt cheap political scheme
1t aims to make jobs for the "faithful." II
aims to put the magisterial offices on the po-
litical pecounter 1t aims to add another
cog to the political machine which would be
run by the mayor, no matter who he might be-
and by the men who would pull the strings
leading into his office.
This proposal is graphically typical of the
charter favored by the Andrews Murray ele-
ment in the convention. 1t is typical of the
subordination of good government to petty
politics; of the subordinatien of responsibility
to the people to responsibility to party ma
chine; of the subordination of efficiency to job
grabbing. '@:S% @..*'s'T'."
Provision after provision in this viciously.
designed charter is planned deliberately to pro-
mote politics at the expense of civic progress.
It is easy to go through the various proposals
and show their weakness, their opportunities
for waste of public funds, their encouragement
of machine methods. But that is hardly neces-
sary after the inward purpose behind
these proposals is exposed so markedly in
the plan to degrade the district magistrates.
Summed up, this looks like nothing but an at
tempt to .'put over charter that will exploit
the government of Honolulu for insidious po-
litical purposes .=..S- .z5 s.. 3. 10
!. Every fearless man and independent man
and politically upright man sin the convention
should. rise and voice his indignation and his
undying opposition to tho charter for politics
only. ? :%s II, >.'s-s. -.

MISTAKEN t'NEUTRALITY. ;" =

The Star Bulletin has received from woman
reader of this paper blank petition headed
Organization of American Women for Strict
Neutrality and directed to the president and
United States congress. The petition seeks to
prohibit the export of munitions from this
country and would call upon the government
to place an embargo on such exports.
For the humanitarian feeling which prompts
sIich a petition and such an organization as it
indicates the Star Bulletin has nothing but
sympathy and admiration, but strict neutral
ity, as leading American authorities on inter-
national law have agreed, requires that the
United States cannot prohibit the export of
arms, for that would proportionately handicap
the Allies as against the Germans Humani-
tarianism carried beyond logic, reason, law and
public welfare is destructive. The United
States cannot justly now take steps to hinder
the Allies merely because the Germans are un-
able to secure munitions from our sellers
The only reason that would justify such an
embargo would be that the legitimate trade in
war munitions so dangerously involved the
United States that our own solidarity, safety,
national welfare were imperilled. In spite of
the efforts of Dumbas and Won Papens, that
time has not come.
