q TRIsuTE TO JUDGE GARY.
Honolulu. July 10. 1915.

Honolulu, July IL, 1915.
Editor Honolulu Star.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 ii
is probably quite immaterial to Judge
Gary whether they are corrected or
not, nevertheless it may be as well
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, II,
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 called to his assistance Judge Gary,

it except to penalze the sheriff by holding over
his head the axe of 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-
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 Of the
mayor and independent of the board with the
exception that it appropriates for his depart
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-- to vote him out of office. Sheriff
Roses popularity with the voting majority has
been demonstrated and quite naturally he con-
siders that an Endorsement of his admins

Thomas A. Edison genius is to be turned to
services for the navy by his acceptance of Sec
rotary Daniels invitation to become president
Of the informally constituted bureau of inven-
ton of the navy department. Edison remarked
to a reporter not long ago that he could easily
invent an explosive very much deadlier than
anything yet shown in the European war But
Edisoh's genius is essentially constructive, not
destructive, and he is not interested in internal
machines to tear asunder the bodies of his
fellow-men. In the patriotic service of pre-
pairing defense for his country, however, he
is ready to enlist. If he turns his fertile mag.
ination and tremendous technical equipment
to submarines or similar subjects, there will
be some wonderful results.

There have been several rumors to this effect,
the first of which was published by the Star

Gary at that time got as far as San Francisco
and then returned east. A visit from this pro-
