DICTATOR WILsoNA

Senator Cummins of Iowa in the course of de
bate yesterday upon the child labor biz declared
that the presidents dictation to congressman upon
legislation he wished passed was grayer menace
to the constitution than the passage of any measure
1t is certainly true that President Wilson has
dictated to this Democratic Congress as few pses
dents have dictated to any Congress, but it is so
true that without his mental and moral leadership
this Congress would have poor record of accom-
plishment. In ability, on the floor and off, the
Democrats rank measurably below their Republican
opponents They are particularly unable to get
through important measures in businessike way
They are apt to temporze under adverse criticism It
has been the presidents leadership that for three
years has kept the party steadily driving toward
certain goals of achievement in the way of perfected
legislation. His Acknowledgment diplomatic
oneAhas been necessary if the party were to enter
this campaign with any record of accomplishment.
The chances are that Senator Cummins was talk
ing largely for political effect He is shrewd con-
troversialist and he khSws how to taunt theoppesi-
ton. The Republicans would like nothing better
than for the present Congress to ''mudde through
on the eve of a national campaign.

Shall Honolulu Issue Bonds?

Members OF the Ad Club did wise thing last
night in deciding not TO put the club record for
or against bond issue for road-constructiOn The
subject is yet only in the preliminary stages Of
discussion and few If any taxpayers have any clear
idea as to what the financial problem involves
Briefly, the road committee of the AID Club rec
ommehds that the bond moneys be devoted primarily
to water and sewer requirements. The committee
pointed out that these first necessities and that
while good roads eminently desirable, the city
cannot issue bonds straightway for sum sufficient
TO cover both water and sewers and road needs The
committee also suggested that what the Ad Tub
should do is to work for increase i'm the proper
ton of taxes turned over to the city The city is
now allotted but twothirds of per cent of all
taxes collected real and personal property in its
limits, Legislation will be necessary to increase
this to the per cent which the AID Club commit
tee feels should rightfully to the municipality.
The plan proposed by the finance committee Of
the board of supervisors is essentially different but
not by any means hopeessly in conflict. The finance
eommittee suggests that some of the proceeds from
bond sales be used on roads and also an extra tax
levy, say for three years, be made to augment the
other funds.
This plan of the finance committee was published
in full by the Star, Bulletin last week. For months
past there have been numerous discussions by city
officials of this proposed bond issue but ii is evident
that few businessmen have paid any attention to the
subject, important as ii is.
Ample opportunity to hear all sides will be given
tomorrow night. A meeting will be held in the
Chamber of Commerce beginning at go o'clock, to
which the general public is invited not only cordially
but earnestly. The subject is vital one and it is
not at all improbable that the bond issue question
will be put up to the voters Of the city.

BITTER IRELAND.


Nothing could show more clearly the British
blunder in dealing with the Irish rebels than the
fact that in Honolulu on the other side of the world
from the outbreak in Dublin, Irish sympathizers
arranged q requiem mass .for the repose of the
souls Of Patrick Pearse, Roger Easement and the
other patriots who died for Irish liberty"
Patrick Pearse Roger Easement and the others
are ali the more heroes because they died at the
hands Of British exeeutioners. They are heroes
not only ID Ireland but around the world
And their deaths have but rendered Ireland the
more bitter The recent events in connection with
Lloyd Georges attempt to settlement show
ed that the cause of harmony had been set back
generation BY the rebellion and its obtuse punish
ment
The Irish declare that the government in London
and LLOYD George himself have broken in dealing
with the home rule question
With the utmost difficulty and in the face of fierce
opposition, John Redmond succeeded in getting the

Gamers CLAIM
LABOR Law Will
AFFECT LITTLE
Local Pineapple Packers Say
y. Few Children Under is
Now Employed

Pineapple Gamers say that the
child labor law will have little eff.
feet on that industry in the islands.
The law povides against the employ
ment In canneries of children under
IA years OF age and for more than
eight hours six days In the week of
children between the ages of Ia and
Is. One of the penalties is the clos.
ing Of interstate commerce to goods
manufactured in contrayention of
such law. -.
.Mnen R Pnns&9ea relative to the eff
feet Of the child labor law on the
personnel of their employees they
said the effect would be very small.
William L. Clifford, manager of the
Hawanan Preserving Company, says
his concern hires no children under
IA years of age and very few under
Is. The latter could be eliminated
easily, he says, If such a law goes
into effect.
F. w. Macfarlane, president of Lib
by, McNeill 4 Libby and Of the
Pineapple Gamers Association, de-
elared, like Clifford, that no children
under IA years were employed and
said that those under Is worked only
eight hours.
According to Clifford. everyone
works 10 hours at the Preserving
Company.
At the Hawaiian Pineapple Com
pany it was also said that there were.
few under Is and fewer under Il,
practically none, employed in the can
neries. All of the Gamers seemed
ready to make conditions conform TO
the law.
Raymond C. Brown, secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce, said that
the law would not become effective
under it's provisions until one year
after signing and the provision rela-
tive to shipment of goods manufac-
tured was that they we're not subject
to shipment where child labor was
employed in the plant within 80 days
prior to the shipment which, Brown
