[. e, THAYER IS RAPIDLY
RAIL YlNG FROM STROKE

L. E. Thayer, who suffered a slight
stroke of paralysis while visiting In
Hilo q few days ago. returned this
morning on the Kilauea, and was
taken Immediately to the Queens Hos.
pital, where, II ID hoped that rest and
quiet will bring about speedy and
complete recovery.
Mr.. Thayer was accompanied home
by his wife, his son Wade Warren
Thayef, and his daughter-in-law, who
were visiting with him In Hawaii. but
who were at the volcano at 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, 1t is thought he will soon
be able to sit up.
Doctors attending the stricken man
say that it is only q 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 of, the Thayers in Hawaii
was cut short by Mr.. Thayer's misfor-
tune. as it had been planned to stay
considerably longer. Secretary Thay-
er took up his work at the Capitol
again this morning.

it is doing a 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 cahvassed by
a competent body of men. The mayors COM
mission is a good one. It's members and Mr.
harrison and Mr.. Whitehonse are all working
for the same end, and there need be no misun-
derstanding mo sharpness of retort-if their
ideas don't always agree But this is particu-
larly time where ideas are needed, and so,
too is free, frank and emphatic expression
of them.

A considerable area of land on Front

intendent of public works that 1t be
drained and filed.

The third resolution which comes

for which the sum Of 1921 is to be
expended.
For second reading tonight, Super
visor Shingles resolution for the ies-
tablishment of grades and sidewalk
lines on Beretanla street Will De pre-
scented. This was deferred at the
last meeting Of the board.
Three ordinances will also be pre-

ager who shall be subject to the d.
rection, Of the supervisors. Ordinance

DISCUSSION THAT rs HELPFUL.

City Engineer Warehouses; letter to the
Star Bulletin, published in another column to-
day, has the right tone. It's the sort of letter
q public official should write.
It emphasizes his attitude as open minded.
He advocates hearing all sides Of the already
raised question, Surface VS. Mountain tunnel
water for Honolulu. He takes issue with the
q. s. expert, G. X. Harrison, but he does it in
an entirely good humored way
Says Mr.. Whitehouse:
Let us look at ali sides OF this water situation.
Find out where the community can get pure water at
fair cost and adopt that scheme Let US support
the city administration and the water commission
In this sautary and statesmanke move. Let put
the hammer IN the tool-box and get behind the COM
mission e least until r reports Il Il doesn't meet
but untl that time let's get on the .pure water
wagon" and boost the good work along.
Both Engineer Whitehouse and Mr. harrison
are working toward the same end and their
differences of opinion need be no more serious
than merely to bring out various phases, var
ious opinions on this vital question of an ade-
quate and healthful water-suppIy for the peo-
Die of Honolulu. The Star Bulletin is mighty
strong believer in public discussion No one
man ever had monopoly of good ideas on any
subject and any debate on the water question
is bound to be good thing-it will enlighten
the people and stimulate the officials because
of very evident general interest in the work
At one stage the city engineer appears to
have mistaken what the Star Bulletin believes
IS the point of Mr. Larrison's interview and of
his later written statement published in this
nsneF. The point, as we take it, is that he be-
I;eyes the expenditure of $4,000 for " investi:
cation purposes " entirely unnecessary in view
of the existing data. If nothing else, the vigor
o,,s mart that the u. s. geological survey office
S taking has helped to emphasize the fact that

FACING THE FACTS.


The heart of Judge Gary's Commercial Club
speech in its references to national military
policy is this:
1--WE 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 OPP
portunity with ourselves to reap the benefit of
the worlds advantages, we cannot be certain
in this age of human weakness, of selfishness,
of greed and the nflrmities 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 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 militarism." The
temper of the American people is primarily
peaceful But it must be a 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 no
more need for new territory than we have. The
danger is that the peace-at-any price gentry,
through their preachnent that American rights
and principles are not worth fighting for, will
fatally hamper and hinder military prepar
edness.
No American can read the European press
at this time without realizing that the Euro
pean belligerents respect and observe the
rights of America in proportion as we are ready
to back those rights with force. Books of mill
tary science and tactics by Old World critics
coolly assume that the United StatesSarmy is
q negligible factor and It's navy likely to be.
when within a few years the European nations
carry out their plans.
We must be prepared on all occasions and
in every emergency to stand for the rights and
s.he principles of our country" says Judge
Gary. And the unanimity with which the cour-
try has backed President Wilson in his efforts
to preserve the national ideals Of peace and
Justice, even at the cost Of great national for
bearance proves that the United States will
not use military preparedness Tor the purposes
of aggression, of bullying or of international
mischief.

While politics has something to do with the

our roads if there were no politics involved.
In our campaign for better roads we should
determine to adopt some system of patrol and

1t need make no difference to the United

the governing factors in this case. If the Lee
