Gag rule was quickly applied at the
meeting of common council last night

Dog Warden George Hall and approx

committee was presented and it was
proposed by Alderman MacFayden
that the report be adopted without

posed an objection and asked that the
bill of Mr.. Hall be itemized or ex-
planned.
you are cute of order, alderman, %
promptly snapped the mayor If there
is no further objection the report will
be accepted
ST don't think am out of order -
returned Alderman -Harrigan, land I
think the people of Bridgeport would
like to know what that bill means. I
know as a member of the common
council that L would like to know
1.-The question is whether or noA the
decision of the chair shall be sustain

smiled griInly as the nineteen lRepub-
icans voted to sustain him and the
five democrats voted in favor of AID

this up forever remarked Alderman
GHarrigan. As he settled back in his

introduced, was accepted with read

Inent and taxation.

'PEACE AT ANY PRICE"
ADVOCATES FLAYED BY
CIVIC CONGRESS HEADS

1.-THE paramount duty of America
is preparedness" he said. The most
serious opposition in Congress to the
preparedness program, he continued,
is to be expected from thOse4-mem-
bers who oppose any reduction in the
size or capacity of the pork barren.''
The speaker urged the creation of
an adequate navy an efficient stand
ing army of several hundred thousand
men and the adoption of a plan. Of
universal service to make up a re-
serve army.
Mr.. Dadmund urged the adoption
Of a naval policy that would ulti-
mate1y furnish the United States with
a navy second to none. He also ad-
vocated a general staff for the navy,
an improved personnel fully man all
useful ships.
Mr.. Gompers declared that pacificts
failed to understand that quality of
the human race which made men will
ing to risk their all for an ideal.
There is little progress made in
the affairs of the world in which re-
sistance of others is not involved he
said. Though we may realize the
brutal side of war, though we may
know the value of life. yet we know
equally well what would be the effects
upon the lives and the minds of men
who could lose their rights, would
accept denial of justice, rather than
hazard their physical safety. The
progress of all ages has come as the
result of protests against wrongs and
existing conditions and through asser-
tions of rights and effective demands
for justice. Our own freedom and
republican form of government have
been achieved by resistance to tyranny
and insistence upon rights. Freedom
and dem ocracy< dare not be syony-
nous with Weakness

Washington, Jan. 18-Stirring pleas
for preparedness and vigorous attacks
on peace at any price" advocates
were made by speakers of national
prominence at the closing session of
the National Civic Convention. Speak
ers included Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor; John Hays Hammond, Sena-
tors Wadsworth and Phelan, former
Governor O'Neal of Alabama, Arthur
H. Dadmun, secretary of the Navy
League of the United States, and Tai
colt Williams of New York, dean of
the Pulitzer School of Journalism.
1--WE are forced. to the conclusion,
however opposed we may be to the
Drodigate expenditure of the nations
wealth, that military and naval de-
Tense. even in the case of a peace
loving nation, is imperative in the
present status Of international rela-
tions,'' declared Mr.. Hammond
He said that only two objections
could be urged against preparedness
First, by the peace at any price
class because they were the develop
ment of n1i1itaristic mania. Second,
the questions of costs. Mr.. Hammond
urged that the proposed expenditure
of $1,000, 100000 to be beyond the
country's present naval need 1t
should be looked on as a business in
vestment, he said.
In conclusion, Mr.. Hammond ex-
pressed the belief that a Panama
Canal bond issue to meet the cost of
national defense would be less objec-
tionable than any system of direct
taxation.
Former Governor O'Nei1 declared it
was difficult to believe that the peace
at any price" advocates realize the
''debasing and demora1izing doctrine

CROWD Cheers
ASFIRST MANOA
DIRT IS TURNED
CONTINUED from page oneD

Francisco, the contractors, in few
well-chosen words presented the pick
and shovel to Mayor Lane. In accept
ing them the mayor said
The people of Manoa Valley are to
be thanked for cooperating with the
city government in beginning this
work, work which | hope will not
stop here but continue until the entire
island is laid out with good roads. We
have been charged with having poor
roads here on Oahu but believe that
now that the people of Manoa Valley
have come to the front. other sections
will also follow their good lead and in
very few years we shall have as
good a road system as any place in
comparison with our wealth"
The mayor then called upon Super
visor Arnold, chairman of the road
committee, and he in turn praised the
Manoa Valley people for their COOPER
alton.
1T has taken a long time to get this
work started" he said, but now that
a beginning has been made there are
nearly a dozen other places in and
about the city where it is hoped that
road improvement work will be asked
for.
There is a large amount Of road
work to be DONE" he continued, "and
of course it cannot be done all at
once, but the board Of supervisors are
working hard on the problems which
daily arise and when we go out of Of
flee next June, believe we shall do so
with a feeling that we have accom-
plished something towards the good
of Oahu. and shall leave for our sue
cessors we'll begun policy of road
Improvement.
Supervisor Logan, the next speaker,
spoke on the frontage tax law and
showed how it is advantageous to the
people in different localities in build
ing the roads. In brief Logan said,
'the law provides that if the property
holders in any locality want their
roads repaired or paved, they pay for
il themselves and the cost is not a
drain on any other section" Logan
also brought up the point that Homo
lulu and the Hawaiian Islands were
becoming more and more before the
public eye by the fact that a mainland
contractor bid and got the contract
to build the Manoa roads,
Other officials who attended the
ceremonies included Supervisors Hot
Iinger, Horner and Larsen. A.

Trent and L. w. de Vis-Norton of the
Hawaii Publicity Commission, were
part, of the rejoicing crowd.
A big gang of road-workers was in
readiness and as soon as the ceremo-
MES were over the laborers went to
work on the first of the road-breaking
preparatory to paving.

OUTDOOR Circle
MAKES A BEAUTY
SPOT AT SCHOOL
Central Grammar Grounds Are
Turned Over to Principal
With Much Improvement

The tree-trimmers of the Outdoor
Circle have finished a piece of work
OF which the circle is justly proud.
Under the direction Of Mrs. James
Bicknell, who has charge Of Central
Grammar school grounds, much has
been done. Mrs Bicknell has spent
all of this year attending to the put
ting in order of these once beautiful
grounds and no doubt the future
years will witness the grounds as
beautiful as they were during the
time when a Hawaiian princess lived
there. ...... -.
To Henry Freitas, too. much praise
is given by the circle. for he has been
untiring in his efforts to help put the
grounds as the circle wished them to
be- ..-.:.
Early last year David Haughs, gov
eminent nurSeryman; ]. F. Rock, ter
ritorial botanist. selected the trees to
be cut out, removing the poor specl-
ments and saving the fine trees. The
dead wood from every tree in the
grounds has been removed, the flow.
ering trees have all been scientifical-
ly trimmed and pruned the pods re-
moved to insure handsome flower
ing growth for the coming year. IN
der the direction of the supervisors
the curbing was laid, the land plowed
and grass sodded. Four old shacks
that had previously marred the ap-
pearance of the grounds, through Mrs.
BicknelFs efforts have been removed.
In one corner stands a covered shed
with sandy bottom that will shell
ter the small children from the heat
rays. 1t has been nicely painted.
Vines have been planted and are now
springing into growth.
