DEVELOPING A SCENIC HIGHWAY.

Honolulu has in the making some remarkably
fine tourist assets. Perhaps not ten per cent
of the residents of this city realize with what
rapidity fine scenic highway system is being
developed. We hear so much controversy over
pavements and grades and local assessments
and other matters municipal that we are apt
to lost sight of the steady progress being made
through all the supevisoraG disputes and de-
bates.
The early completion of the Roundtop road,
with its connection with the familiar Tantalus
road will give the city scenic highway of
which any spot in the world might well be glad
to, boast. Up the ittle-known Kalihi valley a
beautiful drive is being developed. Plans are
on foot by the territory to use prison labor on
Diamond Head road and make this what it
should be-1a close-to-t he-city boulevard suit
able for d drive any afternoon or evening and
as much delight to the chance visitor as the
Pail drive is now. : =
4 Another boulevard just as readily accessible
and so close to the downtown section as to be
within walking distance for those inclined to-
brisk exercise has been constructed on the
slopes of Punchbowl that overlook the harbor'
and the sea.
Many miles of scenic roadway are being
made available to autoists. Yet there are
mountainsides untouched and treasure-houses
of scenery unlocked, waiting the future. One
of the satisfactory things about Honolulu as
tourist city is that much of its possibilities are
In the future. 1t remains for a progressive
people to realize upon them.

INCREASING RATE OF WAR EXPENSES

statisticians computed IN the middle of Sep
TENDER daily cost Of the war of 500 600 900.
This is daily expenditure nearly three times 11
as great as was reported IN the first months OF
the war, and whether. it, be ap ximately -cor-
rect or not, it is certainly true that the wastage
of the great conflicts going on fully
accelerated fate The pnblie5debts of the. beh

pairing to make new loans which will ada fur
thet to the sum Of national indebtedness. It is
thought that if the war should continue q year
longer, Great Britain and France will need to
borrow from America very much larger sum
than the half billion or billion dollars now in

ton predicting that at least two billion dollars

GETTING GOOD MEN INTO OFFICE.

Opponents of the short ballot form of city
government have put forth an argument that
is childlike in its naiyete, They say that the
form of government doesn't matter much
that the necessary thing is to elect good men
As some of the Spokesman for this position
are disappointed office-seekers, their bjections
may perhaps be explainable upon the ground
of chagrin.a. But in addition the argument
itself shows peculiarly well how little those
who use it have studied the "short ballot"
system in theory or practise. 1t is to make it
easier for the average voter to choose good
men, and to encourage good men to offer them
selves as candidates, that the short ballot sys-
tenn has been applied in American cities.
Thus those who say that the main thing is to
elect good men to office, and who simultaneous
lyoppose the short ballot system, are trying to
hold two irreconcilable positions. Their logic
Is conspicuous by its absence.
The short ballot system aids in getting good
men into city office because it places strong
definite and constructive powers under the
control Of the elective officers, and puts pre-
mium on ability, loyalty, energy and alertness
in the appointive offices
1t strikes at the foundation of the discredited
system which puts bad men into offiee-the
system of exchanging votes for jobs, the pat
ronage system.
1t frees the elective offices from the control
of political bosses-and thus encourages in
dependent minded men to offer themselves as
candidates.
It frees the appointive offices from the con-
troll of political bosses-and thus encourages
Independent men to enter the city's
employ with the assurance that if they "make
good'' they can stay.
Honolulu has elected many good men to
Office, and in private conversation not few
of them have again and again complained that
they we're hampered in freedom of action and
In clean-cut work by situation largely due
to the present charter.
Z Of course no system will work by and of
itself. Of course good men are necessary to
get the best results from government That
is truism so we'll known that it is trite Those
who keep on repeating it add about as much
to the sum total of human knowledge as man
who remarks that it is fine day. The thing
is self-evident. The logical step is to create
a government system which aids instead of
hampers getting good men into politics and
into city Offices The "short- ballot" system
has done this with notable success elsewhere
That is why it's advocates believe it would lrelp
matters here.

THAT'S 1T.

What is needed most of all in charter revision is
provision whereby the good men" we elect will not
be wasted in a governmental system that hampers
individuality by difusing responsibility and au-
thority that very little be done-The Advertiser
Our morning contemporary is correct And
the "short-ballot" system is the system which
centers instead of diffuses responsibility.

CORN
WILL A SIS

Pierre Journal-This paper is IN
receipt of sothe advertising matter
from Nursery men. being a special
seed corn price list. The price of
seed corr for October only is fixed
at 1926 a bushel. This paper has
several times called attention to the
people in this vicinity who have
good seed corn that the price next
spring will undoubtedly be S.. 90 a
bushei or more. 1t is a we'll known
fact that the best developed corn in
the United States is in territory
within sev~enty.five miles from
Pierre. A lot of farmers who are
not making special effort to save
seed corn are missing an opportunity
of making good money. It will nav
to save your seed corn and put it In
a building where it will be protected
from the weather. VIZ will not be
surprised if good seed corn that
can be guaranteed to test 100 per
cent or practically that good, will
be worth SIS. 90 a bushel next spring.
When the seed men advertise it at
1925 in October, 1t is time to take
notice.

their two cousins ran up to Miller

were coming down the hill across
the creek at st. Lawrence, turning
the car clear around and over the

bruised a little. but the other mem
