LAYING THE POWDER TRAINS.

Although the Republicans of the senate voted
unanimously for the final passage Of the Kitchin
free sugar repeal bill on Saturday they have
laid the foundation for very nice little fight
on the administration next fall, when the po-
litieal campaign is at its stump speechifying
best
For one thing the Republicans have put the
Democrats on record as saying that while a
duty Of 1.348 cents pound on sugar is iniqui-
tous high protection, duty of 10048 is tariff
for revenue only. In other words, a reduction
of one-quarter has made the difference between
Republican and Democratic doctrine The fig
ures above are, of course those for Cuban
sugars, the Cubas particularly affecting the do
nestle market
1t was during the senate debates that Demo-
Gratis went on record as standing by the cent-a-
pound rate as tariff for revenue only. The Re
pnbllcans also laid powder trains of trouble
Tor the Democratic organizations in a number
OF states by making it necessary for the Bour-
bons to turn down proposals for protection of
commodities in these states Senator Lodge
offered an amendment to the sugar bill restor-
ing the duties on all dyestuffs. His amendment
would place on foreign dyestuffs the duty rates
proposed some years ago by Representative Hill
Of Connecticut, who was member of the ways
and means committee and drafted a complete
tariff bill, based largely on the Payne Aldrich
act 1t was supported by the Republicans but
rejected by the Democrats.
Lodges action was in line with that of
Works, who has precipitated merry contro-l
versy over the citrus tariff legislation OF the
Wilson regime Several other Republican nlerfi-
bers have made proposals for restoration of
duties, thus compelling the Democrats, who
knew they had to pass the sugar bill speedily
and without trimmings, again to throw down ),
state industries. These powder-trains will be
touched off when the campaign gets fairly I'M
der way. An effort will be made to put the ma
tIonal DEMOCRATIC party on the defensive, and
as the Republicans have thus far shown thern.a
selves masters Of the Democrats at this kind oil
political statecraft, the effort will probably be
successful.
The Wilson administration has been ham
meredl from the start on the score that it was
Inimieal to business, even to legitimate bust
ness. The cry will be redoubIed in the cam
paign, and the parliamentary skirmishes which
preeeaed last saturday vote on the sugar bill
have furnished several hand grenades which
Republicans will hurl into the opposite trenches
about next September

Honolulu should not, however, indulge in
any large amount of ridicule at the shortcom-

clumsiness of our own. The chances are all

MAKING OFFICERS IN UNIVERSITIES.
iFrom the Minneapolis JournaL)

lFrom the Minneapolis Journa1 -.
The awakening Of the demand for the mill
tary training Of young men is emphasized by
THE action Of the University of Michigan, which
has never before emulated the military ex-
ample of her younger sisters among the state
universities
While the training undertaken at Ann Arbor
is To- be voluntary, instead of compulsory as
here, emphasis is to be laid on the fitting of
young men to become officers. As nearly as
possible the course at West Point is to be dup
Heated. Already the curricula of the various
departments offer most of the studies at the
academy, and, with the establishment of a
course in military science and the appointment
of an army officer as professor, it is expected
that young man may train himself for a COM
mission at Ann Arbor almost as well as at West
Point
Michigan, however, ought to put the proper
foundation under the scheme by requiring ser
vice in the cadet corps from all who enter the
collegiate departments This, indeed, was the
recommendation of the university senate, but
it was turned down by the regents.
On the other hand, Minnesota may well con-
slider the establishment Of complete military
course for training officers on the Michigan
plan by coordinating the various courses val
liable for that purpose already offered in the
scientific and technical colleges Minneapolis
has large and well-organized cadet corps,
which would furnish practical training in com
mand for those. taking the higher military
course
Plans like these illustrate how much may,
and doubtless will, be done by our universities
to supply the lack of officer material which is

posed charter, in view of past expert

Manager Ballentyne stated that the
company probably would be willing to

all materials on hand in order to begin
immediate work on proposed extern
sions as soon as the bin was passed.

Gas Power Suggested.
The suggestion was made by Mr..
Peck that the proposed new franchise
should contain some provision for the
use by the Rapid Transit Company of
gasoline as a motive power. Mr.. Peck
stated that In case the plant of the
company should be destroyed, some
sort of passenger service might be
maintained by the use of gasoline mo-
tors. Cars equipped with such motors.
he added, might be used at night for
the transportation of freight.
As soon as the first draft Of the new
charter is drawn it is the plan Of the
public utilities commission to call q
meeting with the committee of the
Rapid Transit. the supervisors and the
public to thoroughly go over the new
franchise. No definite date for this
meeting has been set.
Chairman Forbes said today that,
following the completion of the new
charter draft, the matter OF discon-
tinuing the litigation now in the SUI
preme court, in which the territory is
plaintiff and the Rapid Transit defend
ant, probably will be taken up for con.
sideration. One attorney for the Rap
i'd Transit said that he has received no
information of any purported action
which the territory may take In the
matter.

executive could have prevented the perjury
charges being brought at all. .*"
The Hawaii case serves again to direct atten-
ton to one growing evil in the territory-the
carrying of concealed weapons. Something
should be done in the way of sternly repressive
measures against this practice The Spanish
murderer was fined So and allowed to go. In
every case where man is caught with deadly
weapon lurking about him, the police might
well make enough investigation to find out
whether he is desperate or a man of some
balance. "> .-..
As the Star Bulletin has said before, sooner
or later Hawaii has got to take away these
weapons from irresponsible hands, and long
ago ordinary Intelligence in police affairs
should have taught the various county govern
ments TO stop the indiscriminate sale of knives
and firearms. How many murders must teach
the lesson?

receive these days, Honolulu is more interested
in the sugar tariff than in possible WARMTH

those who ask about the German situation is
that the transportation Of Hawaiian sugar
