REICHSTAG EXCITED
Warm Debate on Proposal to Abolish
Preventive Arrests.

Warm Debate on Proposal to Abolish
Preventive Arrests.
Berlin, Oct. 30.--The Reichstag had
its stormiest meeting of the present
session Saturday when the question
Of abrogating the so-called preventive
arrest on suspicion came up for dis
cussion. Deputy Dittman, socialist
started the trouble with a narrowing
recital of hardships and injustices and
Deputy Haus of Alsace and Deputy
Seyda, Pole, added fuel to the fame
by similar recitals. DR.. Karl Helf-
ferich, the secretary Of the interior,
in expressing the greatest regret that
injustices and evils should have crept
into the system, attempted to defend
it as an absolute necessity on the
ground that the security of the state
was infinitely more important than
that of the individual and critivized
Herr Dittman and his fellows in the
sharpest manner for publicly making
charges that at the best could be off
set only after investigation. In turn
speakers representing the national
liberal, the center, the socialist and
the progressive groups denounced the
conditions that had been revealed.
The bill providing for the abolishment
of the preventive arrest was referred
to a committee of 21 members.

The Test of Greatness.

When EIliston, the theatrical man. ager, went from London to his own theater at Birmingham he was known to scarcely a member of his own com pany. On reprimanding one of them sharply the irate actor threatened to kick him off the stage. He rushed to the stage manager and asked who that man was.
 "Mr. A." said the manager.
 "A great man, very great man,, said Elliston. He threatened to kick me, the lessee of Drury Lane. Such a man as that must go to London. He mustn't waste his energies here" And he engaged the actor on the spot for Drury Lane.

EDITOR
WALSH OF MASSACHUSETTS,.

Former Governor Walsh of Massachusetts is
snch a man as Hawaii may well be proud to
entertain. ;. -...
In his public administration and in private
endeavor he has proceeded along the broad
lines of public welfare He has campaigned not
ON partisan platforms but on platforms whose
planks are the interests of all the people. Since
coming to Hawaii he has said in private con-
yersation what people here have known of his
political life that he places the interests of the
people first and party designation second. And
as consequence, in his state of Massachusetts,,
a state with hundreds of thousands of Republi-
can votes he has been elected and reelected
and with the stanch support of Republicans as
well as Democrats.
of the foremost features of his administration
have been the advancement of education among
the people and the development of health and
sanitation safeguards and measures. For in
Hawaii public health and public education are
of paramount Importance.
Proud of his Democracy and the principles
which have made him Democrat, he neverthe-
less does not come to Hawaii as partisan He
may be relied upon to view conditions here with
an open mind In his eloquently ly-voiced concep-
ton of America as the country with mission
of democracy among, the nations of the world
IA conception splendidly pictured in his re-
marks at the Country Club last night he
raises a standard and an ideal in which Ameri-
cans of every political creed heartily join.
