BRITAIN's BLUNDER.

No neutral citizen questions the technical
right of the British government to execute the
leaders of the Irish rebellion, since they have
been adiudged guilty of treason, but to the
world outside the war-maddened countries
these executions appear as grave political
blunders on the part of Britain. .."
Led by deuded but patriotic men, the Irish
rebels, Sim Feiners and others, rose to what
they conceived to be the ideal of political lib
erty. They were fighting for a free Ireland.
Aid from Germany was accepted just as aid
from the United States was accepted, though
with this difference-that Germany and Ger
man officials undoubtedly backed the rebellion
while the assistance from the United States
was secret and Indirect 1911
The British government had an opportunity
to show magnanimity by imposing prison terms
instead of the death penalty upon the leaders.
Inevitably these numerous executions make
martyrs out of the Irish rebels. in the eyes OF
millions of neutrals. 49,. H.
Edith Cavell's serious offense against Ger
many was not questioned by England or the
outside world, but both alike were struck with
horror at her execution. The cases are not
Identical but there is sufficient similarity to
warrant the assertion that Britain has made the
worst out of an opportunity for generous treat
ment of that people which cherishes the memory
OF days when ''frightfulness" crushed the
Emerald Isle.

PROSPERITY

TAX COLLECTION
Much Coin. No Bogus Checks,
Point to Good Times. Says
Assessor Wilder

HawaIi's present prosperity, accord
inc to a statement today by Tax Asses
sor Charles T. Wilder. is being shown
by the returns in his office for the
half-year Just closed. These returns
so Wilder declares. are the highest
in the history Of the office.
Wilder is a veteran in the tax bust
ness, having first entered the local Of
flee in 1904, and served continuously
ever since that time. He said today
that while only approximate figures
can as vet be reached in regard to the
present collections, the volume of
money that has poured in during the
last few days points TO good times.
We have collected more coin,
says Wilder, taking into consideration
the check and cash payments, than
ever before. Much cash in the pay
Inents is always good sign.
In regard TO the checks | would
like to state that of some $SSl,O0O
collected, not a single bad check has
been found, and they have come from
all parts of the territory. That is in
deed gratifying. .<........ ...
Coin collections have Appropriated

of May they we're $50, O0b-$20HO0

still have 10 days to go this month.
Roughly estimated collections this

600 to date, which will be swelled in
the next 10 days, according to the col
lector who looks for at least $275.O0O

Cnly eight cents for every $1,000, while
actual property values have Increased
by $6,GC0,0O or $4,000, 900.
Besides the present collections, ap-

The wording of the Civic Federation resolu-
ton nnder which new city charter is to be
drafted is unfortunate If its terms are strict
Ely followed, the representatives of various
civic bodies sent to the federations conference
must draft short-balot charter including the
plan of city manager Subject to appoint
ment and removal at will by the supervisors. "
The Star-Bulletin favors the city-manager plan
but does not believe that conference such as
this should have it's hands tied by narrow re-
strictions upon the form of the charter. The
representatives should have entire discretion
to draft the best charter possible, in any form
they see fit. We should think the Civic FEEDER
alton might hold an early meeting and amend
the resolution.

pending will be COMPLETED in about
seven months, taking into COnSidera

In my opinion. this litigation
should be cleaned up within seven
months and possibly sooner" he adds.

petition for condemnation must be
published here for three months and,

IF the various owners cannot agree
as to the value of their respective in
terests,' Judge Kemp explains, then
a date will be set for a trial in which
to prove the values of the properties
involved. H..
There is possibility, however, that
there will be no trial. it was pointed
out today. But it is understood that
the Spreckels Estate has set no price
on its interest, and that it may be will
ing to stipulate when it learns that
the government intends to go ahead in
the matter.
But the benefit of trial, it has been
explained, would be that the present
known owners of property in the site
would have an opportunity to prove
that the various unknown owners have
no real interest IN or claim to the pro-
perty.
