 IS TAKEN FROM THE
 ADVERSE CALENDAR

Montgomery, August 19.-The house to- day, without dissenting vote, took from the adverse calendar the woman suffrage bill, which was adversely reported about three weeks ago by the committee on privileges and elections.

it except to penalize the sheriff by holding over
his head the axe of non-appropriation.
The situation well illustrates what critics
mean when they say the city charter needs fix
ing. Few modern American municipalities
continue to elect the active head of the police
department. The police department is gener-
ally directly under the mayor or a commission
who is thus held responsible for its effective
ness or laxity.
No features of city administration touch the
everyday life of the people more closely than
the handling of the law and order problems.
This and the building and maintenance of
streets are the commonest of public functions
and generally the most criticised because they
are the most obvious. Anyone can understand
and everyone notices the difference between a
good and bad street; and the conduct of the
police force is almost equally easy to watch.
What the city attorney or the corporation
counsel or the director of health or the auditor
does is much more difficult to follow. But,
particularly in city of Honolulu's size, it s
pretty easy to see or hear when the police force
is falling down.
The sheriff of Honolulu-is independent ofthe
mayor and independent of the board with the
eAccpilOn that II dppIupIidtcS ioI HIS ucI'dtt-
ment.. The condition is anomalous and should
be ended.
Under the present charter, the only way the
head of the police department can be held re-
sponsible short of charging him with NAL
feasance- lis to vote him out of office. Sheriff
Rose Is popularity with the voting majority has
been demonstrated and quite naturally he con-
siders that an Endorsement of his admins
tration.

a TRIBUTE TO JUDGE Gary.

hOuOluAu, July 10, 1919.
Editor Honolulu Bulletin,
:. Sir: The sketch OF the career of
Judge Ebert H. Gary in this morn
ing's paper is unusually full of errors
and misleading statements. While 1t
is probably quite immaterial to Judge
Gary whether they are corrected or
not, nevertheless It may be as we'll
to have it done.
To commence at the end of the
article, Judge Gary's term on the
bench was not what might be called
brief as he served two terms as
county Judge of Du Page county, H.
linois; and remember very well when
he occasionally sat on the bench of
the county court of Cook county in
Chicago in the place of Judge Prem
dergast. At that time he was senior
member of the great law firm of Gary
& Gary, with Offices on the mezzanine
floor OF the Rookery, which firm is
possibly still in existence
1t is my recollection that John w.
Gates first brought. Judge Gary for
ward in the organization OF the Fed
eral Steel or the American Steel &
Wire Company, and when Morgan
wished to promote the organization of
the United States Steel Corporation
he calledsf0 his 1zsisfauc Judge Gary,

No doubt Mr. Forbes is right Furthermore
IL the territory and the city and county of Ho
noIulu would make practice of sending Ger
tain Of their public officials to the mainland
once a year or once in two years the public
would be the gamer. The Star Bulletin be
|ieves, and has several times previously ex-
pressed the belief, that the progress OF certain
branches of public administration is so RAPID
that officials as far removed from its current
as those Of Hawaii necessarily must be, are in
real danger of falling behind. Not through
|nck of energy, industry or alertness, but sim
ply because of isolation and the inevitable ten
dency of isolation to encourage falling into
Ints.
New methods, new ideas, new tendencies In
public administration throughout the United
States are sweeping aside many of the old.
Directness and efficiency, freedom from red

Tie tax payers--are noticeable among the aims

TO assure progress, cities and states are ex-
changing ideas and encouraging mutual dis

The morning paper reports that Judge Gary,
head of the steel trust is coming to Hawaii.
There have been several rumors to this effect,
the first of which was published by the Star
Bulletin two months ago. Judge and Mrs.
Gary at that time got as far as San Francisco
and then returned east. A visit from this pro-
gressive man Of Big Business would be well
come in Hawaii.

Hawaii at the Pacific Congress Of the Asiatic

rotary Daniels Invitation to become president
of the informally constituted bureau of inven-

Edison's genius is essentially constructive, not
destructive, and he is not interested in Internal

is ready to enlist. If he turns his fertile mag
