OVERHEAD COST
NOT EXCESSIVE,
SAYS WHITEHOUSE

Former City Engineer L. NJ. White
house SCOTS at the report on roads
made recently by the territorial grand
jury wherein it is claimed that over.
head expenses in the department are
so high that it costs approximately SO
cents to spend a dollar .:..:. - y.
Whitehouse says that he gave w. J.
Coon his two reports for two years
from January l., 1913, to December 81,
+, when Coon asked him for figures
on which to formulate his report, but
that the reports will never bear out
the statements made by the grand
jury. - 49,.
Whitehouse denies that overhead
charges ever reach as much as 80
cents on the dollar. In March, 1913,
he says, the city ana county spent $751;
$40 on road work, WHICH was divided
as follows: Office expenses, S942;
stables, S275; quarry, $S74; cleaning
streets, Sl646; sprikling streets, $661;
repairs to equipment, s1264 Total
S7426. 49,. r.. =
He says that Of this amount the
stable costs were charged to street
work, also the same was done with
the quarry charge, for rock from the
quarry went on to the streets Office
expenses and repairs to equipment
form the only real overhead, he says,
or $1264. This, he. says, is a long
way from so cents on the dollar He
himself figures the overhead to be
about. % cents on the dollars.

VAUGHAN GIVEN
REAL SURPRISE BY
HIS DAUGHTER

= When the steamer Great Northern
locked at Hilo yesterday, Horace w
Vaughan, district attorney for Hawaii,
not only greeted his daughter, his
wife and her mother, but received Q
surprise which, for moment, took
his breath away as some of the pas
sengers put it.
Mr.. Vaughan's daughter, who is a
strikingly pretty girl of is years.
sprung the surprise. Soon after the
district attorney had boarded the yes
sci and the customary greetings had
been exchanged, his daughter drew
him aside and whispered something
into his ear. She explained how, just
before she and Ter mother and grand
mother had left their home in Tex
arkana, Texas, for the coast, she had
been married to DR. j. S. Moulton, a
very prominent young physician.
Pressing business prevented Mr..
Vaughan's new son-in-law from com
ing to Hawaii with the rest of the
family, but he may make the triP
later. For the next month or more,
Attorney Vaughan and his family will
occupy Judge r. p. Qaarles' home in
Keeaumoku. Mrs. NJ &. Morris OF
Texarkana accompanied Mrs. Moulton
to Honolulu ~:
Six or eight months time and an
expense of $4,000 is involved in re-
painting the Brooklyn Bridge. %..

EDITOR

but the military policy of Oahu The Shinpo
was one Of the promoters of the proposed Jap
anese aviation exhibition and has been exhibit
inc its pique at intervals since. Not long ago
an American aviator was also refused permis
sion to fly here. but the promoter who was to
handle his flights did not thereupon rail at the
governor And the Japanese must understand
that they are in America to obey American
regulations and laws. ... =. -. r.. .:."
The Star Bulletin does not believe the sentl-
ment voiced in the Shinpo editorial yesterday
is that Of the japanese community, and we eX=
pect that the Japanese community will co
operate with the Carnival management in tile
same effective and much-appreciated way as it
has done in previous years. The annual Ian
tern parade is a splendid feature and should
be perpetuated. :'~'. .-":... ..@#.-

Is IT COINCIDENCE?

is it coincidence that the Progressive ma
tiona committee should pick for Its national
convention precisely the same date and place
as has already been chosen by the Republican
committed
Hardly. 1t looks Very much more like an
other of the master strokes of the master
politician Theodore Roosevelt What better
opportunity could be devised for joining in the
holy bonds of campaign wedlock the riven
Grand Old Party than that of the week of June
in Chicago!
Picture the scene. The Republican conven-
ton will go into session with dozen ''favorite
sons" and Responsibilities, each with state
or two to east him complimentary vote. The
"big fellows of the east, of the financial
world, of the political arena, will give these
favorite sons the onee-oyer and at glance toss
most if not all of them into the discard. 1t will
take a real man to beat Woodrow Wilson, and
the party saehems know it. Back to oblivion
will go most of the gentlemen now admiringly
press agented far and wide over the country.
Perhaps two or three will be left They will
divide the vote and there will he deadlock,
with neither side thinking enough of the others
candidate to throw its strength Perhaps there
will be hurrah-boys boom for Justice Hughes
and perhaps Justice Hughes will decline to
doff the Judicial ermine to put on the frock
coat and plaster-cast smile of the candidate.
Very possibly the matter will not get as far as
Offering the crown to a reluctant Caesar.
For there in another convention hall not far
away will be group of delegates yearning to
get back into the fold-under proper crcum-
Stances of course, those circumstances being
principally that they can take a whack at
Barnes, Root and Penrose, get plank or two
into the platform, and declare that Progress
ivism is not dead, though its supporters be few.
And there or Whereabouts, unless human ma
ture has changed in the. intervening five
months will be a short, stocky, active gentle
man with p salient fighting jaw and shining
white teeth, perfectly capable of answering the
call for a male person of hefty proportions to-
lead reunited Republicanism to a glorious
victory.
Yes, about the time the favorite sons have
been erased from the map and the delegates
settle down to the real work, somebody is going
to discover that the family squabbfe of 1912
was a mistake all around that the pugnacious
son who hit his dad and busted out of the door
is ready to come back if Dad will offer few
concessions and next thing the convention
knows, there will be live Roosevelt boom
rampaging up and down the floor

STRONGEFFORTS
REPEAL CLAUSE
. . OF FREE SUGAR

That the repeal OF the free sugar"
clause in the present tariff bill is a
good prospect is the opinion OF Judge
A. A Wilder, who returned from
Washington today He says the
movement is strong not merely. TO sus-
pend the operation OF the clause but
to repeal il entirely, so that in the
future new legislation would be ne
Cessary TO carry out the free-trade
pan decided upon by the Democratic
national administration.
He says that the proposal~o Sena,
tor Gore of Observation-Disclosures TO
be backed by the refining interests
IL place an excise duty on domestic
sugar in order TO secure revenue has
attracted some attention, but that il
does not. appear to have enough fol-
lowing 10 make il formidable. ...-.
MY private. opinion is that the rev.
enue needs of the country are so
great with the program of prepared
ness before il that they'll have to re-
store the old Payne-Aldrich duty" he
comments. There's no mistake
about the countrywide sentiment for
preparedness. All sides and all par
ties want preparedness, though they
differ as to degree and methods: As
for Bryan and the pacifists; WE'LL
Rryan and his friends would get abb
solutely sWamped now if the matter
went to the vote of the country. At any
rate, the military program demands
Sc much money that the Democrats
are going to need every bit of reve.
nue they can raise"

GOOD pREcEDENTs.

In their endeayor to change the city IS fiscal
year and Thus figure themselves out of finan-
cial hole, the supervisors have good historical
precedent. A considerable time before such
entities as supervisors or fiscal years had been
thought upon, one Joshua commanded the sun
to stand still, and it is written that the sun
stood still while Joshua and the children of
Israel were shifting the Amorites. Awhile later
old King Canute attempted to sweep back the
tides as lesson to some courtiers who lacked
common sense. OF course while Joshua sue
ceeded, Canute failed, but maybe the super
visors have found out where Canute made his
mistake, and can-shift the fiscal year around to
suit municipal convenience.

JAPANESE AND THE CARNIVAL.

Probably the opposition to participation in
the 1916 Carnival originally was the attitude
of very few japanese only, though with one
of the newspapers stirring matters up, others
will perhaps be persuaded that the Japanese
community has grievance. But it is an eX-
ceedingly poor way of getting attention for
a supposed grievance by starting what amounts
to a boycott of the Carnival The Hawaii
Shinpo, which is agitating the subject, says
that the japanese do not wish to participate
because of the anti-.Japanese acts of Governor
Pinkham. This is not only nonsense but dan
gerous nonsense. 1t stirs the very sort Of preiu-
dice that Hawaii tries to rebuke by constant
example. The Shinpo has been rapping the
governor ever since a Japanese aviator was re
fused permission to fly here, refusal in which
the officials voiced not an individual attitude

NOT A DIFFERENCE IN POLITICS.

1.-THE reason for the attack on me and the
fail administration is politics." says Sheriff
Rose Not being of the party represented by
the newspapers, naturally do not expect any
great amount of praise from them. News
papers have exaggerated the viewpoint OF the
grand jury by reading into the report things
that are not there. I" -. III. +.
Sheriff Roses memory is very short indeed
if he cannot remember the time when his eff
Client work as deputy under Sheriff Jarrett was
praised by both the Honolulu papers. He was
a Democrat then and he is Democrat now.
He hasn't changed political faith, nor have the
But as sheriff his previous record
is not being maintained i
No, it is not difference in political faith
that causes the criticism. The Star Bulletin
finds occasion just now to criticise some Re
publican office holders about as vigorously as
Mr. Rose is criticised. The sheriff cannot es
.tablish the excuse of political persecution to
explain public comment adverse to his admin
istration.
