INpIrEERENcE or FRAME.uPa

- & Il
Only two explanations are possible for the
4ailpFe of majority of delegatessto the char.
ter convention to appear last night mt the
special meeting called to hear the views of
representative citizens on charter revision.
s. The first possibility is that the delegates
failed to attend out of indifference.
The second possibility is that the delegates
faxed to attend because they did not relish the
iprospect Of hearing a vigorous and outspoken
criticism of the vicious charter which is being
advocated by the majority.
Either explanation is thoroughly diseredit-
i able ia a body Of citizens elected to give their
best energy and intelligence to the framing of
u new charter for Honolulu
. Color Of probability is given to the second
explanation BY the fact that of the twenty
4 three delegates who attended, twenty are
regarded as belonging to the progressive ele
ment. The chairmans position is anomalous.
4lPsethef two are regarded as belonging to
thelreacti0nary element. of the forty who
stared away. nearly all are either ION the
fence or frankly identified with the reaction

REPEAL OF FREE-sUGAR CLAUSE
GENERALLY FAVORED.

- L. - = - -
Repeal of the free sugar clause Of the Wilson,
Underwood tariff bin is advocated by the
strongest newspaper supporter of the admin

other significant Indication that the suggestion

favor in Democratic ranks :.
The World says editorially:
Worldwide war. dislocating commerce and
industry, reduced finance and credit to chaos
and made jest of economics. The new tariff
has failed as a revenue producer solely for the
reason that the conditions to which it was adj
iusted have been shot away by q dozen nations
in conflict. 49, 81
It was the expectation Of the Wilson adj
ministrafion and Congress that under more lib.
eral customs rates the total receipts, while
more evenly distributed, would be greatly dil
minished and that the loss of revenue IN pro-
viding. for free sugar and molasses, effective

income tax That this hope would not be real

gency war taxes were levied.
In their conclusion to ask Congress for a
renewal of the war taxes and the repeal Of the
freesugar and molasses clause of the tariff,
the president and secretary of the treasury are
fully justified by facts, The situation that con-
fronts them is abnormal. While hostilities last
there is no possibility of a customs revenue, no
matter what the rates may be, that will equal
the requirements Of the treasury Not until
peace shall have been restored win it be adj

any Of IFS imposts that, like the sugar tariff,

Morehead Still Is
Supposed to Be Out
After U, s. Senator
(Fron : Staff correspondent,)

LINCOLN. Oct. 25.-Cspecial again
the story comes that Governor Morehead
Is looking sidewise toward the democratic
nomination for congress In the First Me-
braska district
To some the rumor meets with con-
siderable favor. Friends OF Senator
Hitchcock have been very anxious to
switch the governor from the senatorial
race and while there Is nothing very
reliable to indicate the movement along
those lines has been successful. still In
the present delapidated condition of the
Old democratic battieship. most any kind
OF deal which might satisfy everybody
might be pulled off.
Al first special representatives of the
senior senator tried to switch sentiment
In favor of the governor for the demo-
cratic nomination for the vice presidency.
This did not pan out very well for mana
gers OF the governors political future de-
sired the national senate as the next step
for the governor and would listen to moth
ing else. Then came along the proposal
OF a third-term for Governor Morehead.
This was somewhat SCARED by the fight
the executive got into with State Treas
urer Hall and now It appears that a seat
In congress Is the prize which Is being
danRled before the eyes of the governor
by the political seers who are praying for
harmony and have no idea how It may
be brought about
with so many good men in the race
for the republican nomination for gov
ernor mighty few democrats care to take
chance. With the strong sentiment In
favor OF Congressman Reavis for a sec
ond term. even though so far he has hae
no chance to show what he can do be
cause there has been no session of con
gress since no was elected, many demo
Gratis are shying at the chance to ruf
against the Falls City man and It 10 no
thought that the governor will care e
sacrifice himself by bucking up agains
Reavis. so II is reasonable to suppos'
that the governor Is still being groome'
for the race at tho primary for the shoe
worn now by the Omaha senator.
