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 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-Roosevelt 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. 1872. ...
Ohio-Former Senator Burton won by an
overwhelming vote of about 100000 to about
10000 each for Col. Roosevelt and Henry Ford
Hughes was fourth.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.

E. -. Honolulu, May 10.
To you, Mr.. Iaboring 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 ii 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 drinking man and
spend lot of money over the bar of
a saloon, you should stop to think
that the money you spend for booze
could far better be spent to help to
prepare 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-
lieve 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. IF 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

NO THREATS WANTED.

Any proposal of japanese in Hawaii to adj
yocate . policy of retaliation because of the
Burnett immigration bill, is unwarranted, i'm
pudent and mischievcus.
It is reported that if the Burnett immigra-
ton bill becomes law with the anti-Asiatic ex-
clusion provisions included, the Japanese AS
sociation of Hawaii will urge the Japanese gov
ernment to carry out similar measures of ex-
cIusion against Americans. Such an intima-
ton, coming at the time it does-while the bill
Is before the senate and is being modified In
Japan s favor-is nothing less than a threat,
and threat, which is entirely wrong.
The Japanese government is quite capa-
bic of negotiating with Washington without
the assistance of trouble-makers in Hawaii In
fact, Ambassador Chinda's representations
have already caused modification of the Bur
nett bill by the senate immigration and educa-
ton committees Japan's wishes are being
met, say Washington dispatches. The Asiatic
exclusion features are being removed.
Whether they are removed or not, Japanese
IN Hawaii are not warranted in meddling in
International affairs with threat of retalia-
ton against the United States. The place for
Japanese jingoes, If it is anywhere, is in Japan,
not America America has enough of her own.
Fortunately it is pretty certain that the great
bulk of the japanese in Hawaii particularly
the Intelligent leaders of Oriental sentiment,
have no Illusions on this subject. They know

Col. Roosevelt but, to gain Progressive sup
port, the Republicans must nominate can

Inasmuch as the Progressives reserve the right

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
che nation should give to another.
1t is a hopeful sign that the German prom
Uses contained in the last note from Berlin will
be observed in spirit and in letter. j..
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 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.
1t 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-
tori, presumably speaking for his government,
assured a 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 insistence by the United
States has drawn from Berlin the apology for
the Sussex attack. Once Berlin saw that it had
to be made, the apology was made handsomely.
But it was made only because Berlin had come
too dangerously near the parting of the ways
for further trifing with diplomatic evasons.
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-
telops further insistence on disavowal 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
those who went down in the Lusitania we're
not vainly sacrificed to a ruthless ar-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
Ible Instructions If that point is firmly estab-
|ished, then the United States has accom-
lIished what it set out to do, though mean
|hile there have been incidents which we can
not forget.
fhe Sussex apology has the aspect now of a
real victory. for President Wilson's new di-
pIomacy. We say "new diplomacy because

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 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 whichl might in practical operation
reduce their profits to one or two per cent.
