without molestation. In my opinion a
man who, talks about letting a foreign
foe invade our country without trying
to stop them has about as much spine
as jelly fish; even they have weap-
ons with which to defend themselves.
To the statesman who does not be-
lieve in the preparedness plan; who
proclains before the people that he
is for peace at any price, and when
it comes to do something big for our
country quits us cold and goes around
the country preaching his cowardly
doctrine; am thinking he will, when
the time comes, have to do some dig
ging, TOO.
To you who say, why should we
prepare, we can take care of our
selves when the time comes" the
time came one day down on the bor-
der of Mexico. Were we pEepared?
Those gallant men Of the 18th Cavalry

pared for what happened. What do

pare to defend them or are you going.

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.

Honolulu, May 10.
To you, Mr.. Laboring Man, who
earns his living by the sweat of his
brow, do you believe in the prepared
ness plan, are you ready to do the
best YOU can If a foreign foe should
attempt to Invade our great and glori-
GUS land, or do you say, Why, we
have enough taxes to- pay now, why
should we go to the expense to pre-
pare?" If you are a drinking man and
spend lot of money over the bar of
saloon, you should stop to think
that the money you spend for booze
could far better be spent to help to
prepars our country from an invasion
by foreign foe. Remember, Mr.. La
boring Man, If we are not prepared
you will be one of the many who will
have to dig, and dig hard, too. To
the preacher, also, who does not be-
lieye in the preparedness plan and
says we should stand meekly by and
let foreign foe invade our fair land
and do as they please He says he
would defend his wife from the raw
ages OF brute | do not see how he
could do so if he was not prepared.
He gets up in his pulpit and breaches
to man to prepare his soul to meet
his God. II Mr.. Preacher will stop to
think and study he will find that God
gave the birds of the air and the
beasts of the field and jungle weapons
with which to defend their homes and
young ones, so that they could live

ON THE POLITICAL FIRING LINE.

Much criticism of the presidential primary
is arising, now that many states have the sys-
tenn in operation. 1t is conceded in many quar-
tiers that as a means of expressing preference
for leading candidate, the system is faulty.
Nevertheless, there are very interesting de
velopments as the primaries are held. Here
are some of the state results in brief:
Iowa-S Senator A. B. Cummins led Col. Roose-
welt with vote of nearly 10000 against about
5000, Justice Hughes running third and Henry
Ford a bad fourth.
Michigan-Henry Ford led Senator Smith,
figures still in dispute.
New Jersey-No column for presidential
preferences in Republican primary ballot but
many voters wrote preferences in, Roosevelt
leading by wide margin, Justice Hughes com
ing second, Ford third, Root fourth and Taft
fifth ~....
Massachusetts this state the political in
dications rest largely on the primary vote
for delegates to the Republican convention
Massachusetts, will send at least 80 out Of Sc
delegates unpledged. -Four are said to be
Roosevelt men. The anti-Roosevet delegates
easily led the Massachusetts ticket, Governor
Mccall, Senator Lodge, Senator Weeks and
Ex-senator Crane receiving the highest votes,
while Charles S. Bird, the leading Roosevelt
man in the Bay State, was nearly 10000 votes
behind r.. +.
Ohio-Former Senator Burton won by an
overwhelming vote of about 10000 to about
10000 each for Col Roosevelt and Henry Ford.
Hughes was fourth. ..s@:. = z

pudent and mischievous.

and threat, which is entirely wrong.
The Japanese government is quite capa-

fact, Ambassador Chinda's representations
have already caused modification of the Bur-

Rapid Transit officials have repeatedly said
that they would acquiesce in a new charter
which would insure them an eight per cent
profit on the entire system. Attorney Whiting
ton yesterday nailed a story which purported
to show that the company would reject any
proposition to limit it to eight per cent profits.
What the company declines to do is to agree
to plan. which might in practical operation
reduce their profits to one or two per cent.

APOLOGY AND PREPARATION.

Germany's apology and offer of reparatlon
for the illegal attack on the British steamer
Sussex is the sort of guarantee of good faith
enc nation should give to another. +:
1t is hopeful sign that the German prom
Uses contained in, the last note from Berlin will
be observed in spirit and in letter.
1t is certainly sufficient to meet the proper
demands growing out of the Sussex incident,
and as related to the larger issues of the sub
marine campaign, it is a definite proof that
Germany is striving to avert break with the
United States.
But the disavowal of the Sussex incident by
no means answers all of the American demands.
II is Germany's own fault that Americans will
not accept her promises at their face value and
insist that German actions now and in the fu-
ture must be the reply. Twice in the months
since the Lusitania was sunk Count Won Berns-
torff, presumably speaking for hts government,
assured cessation of submarine outrages, but
his assurances apparently went for nothing.
So the last German note with its pledge of law
observances has. not satisfied and will not sat
isfy the American people. They insist that
German policy at sea shall coincide with Ger
man profession of good faith in Berlin.
Only emphatic insstence by the United
States has drawn from Berlin the apology for
the Sussex attack. Once Berlin saw that it had
But it was made only because Berlin had come
too dangerously near the parting of the ways
FOR further trifing with diplomatic evasions.
The issues opened by other submarine out
RACES, beginning with the Lusitania, are not
yet closed To speak frankly, we cannot expect
the disavowal of the Lusitania sinking now.
The German government at this date is ex-
tremely unlikely to risk the storm at home
which such an action would cause. We must
make the best of bad situation-make the
best of il because, as the controversy now de-
relops, further insistence on disavowaT of the
Lusitania attack would get us nothing We
have the pledge for the future, and if that is
sufficient to safeguard neutral lives at sea, then
hose whp went down in the Lusitania were
not vainly sacrificed to a ruthless war-god.
TO make good her pledges, Germany must
modify her submarine campaign materially
With good grace or with bad grace, she must
make her submarine commanders obey reason
able instructions. If that point is firmly estab-
'ished, then the United States has accom-
plished what it set out to do, though mean
While there have been incidents which we can
bot forget

real victory for President Wilson's new di-
pIomacys We say new diplomacy because

''He wants you to look in his crys-

the Arabs cries still in her ears.
