Germany's military leaders seem to
be just about as complacent as they
were at the beginning of the great
war, and after German arms had
triumphed so signally on so many
fields. At least, they are reported as
being entirely satisfied with the war
situation as it exists today and with
the newly developed war conditions
that confront the Central Powers.

ATTRIBUTELOSS
OF POSITIONSTO
AIDING RAYMOND

.Word comes from Maui to the eff
feet that two county employees of long
standing, T. B. Lyons and Manuel c..
Ross, have been recently discharged
and that the discharge is said to be
due to their activities in the recent
political campaign.
Lyonss and Ross are both Demo
Gratis and boosted Dr. j. H. Raymond
for the senate in his hard-fought cam
paign. In fact, it is said that Lyons
withdrew from the race to turn his
votes over to the medico.
Recently, so the story goes, after a
meeting of the Maui board of super
yisors the two men were notified that
their services as officials in the
county clerks office would be no
longer required. Hence the belief that
they were discharged for their politi-
cal activities. Republicans on the
Maui board are said to outnumber the
Democrats.
Lyons has been IN the service for
about eight years, Ross about three.

LETTERS
"A FRIEND IN NEED"

Honolulu, T. H., Dec. 4, 1916.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Dear Sir: Would you kindly pub
fish the following answer to an arti-
Gle which appeared in the Advertiser
of Sunday, December 2, 1916, which
referred to Captain of Detectives A.
McDufie. backed by Sheriff Rose, as
"A Friend In Need"
I would like to ask the public" If
they do not consider it far better to
allow the women of the underworld
to ply their trade in restricted dis
trict until January 1, and thus be in a
position to leave the territory rather
than have them scatter into the resi-
Dental districts and hotels of Honolulu
to ply their trade.
A number of the women of the Iwi,
Lei district informed police official
(prior to the report of the grand jury
that il immediate action were taken
they would be in destitute circum-
stances. as many of them had been in
Honolulu but a few weeks and did
not possess sufficient funds with
which to purchase transportation to
the coast
then took the matter up with the
sheriff and the district attorneys of
fee, stating these facts just as they
were given to me. Is this the act of
"A Friend In Need" or that of a
police official trying to better condi-
tions so that the community will not
be burdened with women of this char
acter who are in destitute eircum-
stances?
Very respectfully yours,
A. McDUFFIE,
Captain of Detectives.

RAISE SALARY Of
TEACHERS, SAYS
HENRY v. KINNEY
Asserts Some Now Being Paid
less Than Ordinary Plan
tation LaborerS

Hawaii's pubic school teachers are
entitled to and should have an in,
crease of salary.
This is the opinion of Henry W. Kin
ney, superintendent of public instruc-
ton, as expressed al 4 meeting last
Friday of the Haul Teachers Associ-
alton and in statements to the Star
Bulletin today The statements by
Superintendent Kinney are in line
with recommendations made by the
Maui teachers and at the annual meet
ing of the Territorial Teachers Associ-
alton. held in Honolulu, that the peda-
gogues be given more money.
Superintendent Kinney attended the
meeting of the Maui teachers where
the question of a salary raise was
taken up after it was learned that a
similar question was to be discussed in
Honolulu. Asked by the meeting for
his opinion, Kinney said he felt the
teachers have every right to expect a
raise in salary as, in these days of
prosperity, everyone is receiving high
er compensation, and partly since the
cost of living is making it almost i'm
possible for the teacher on a small
salary to get along.
Must Maintain Standard
In expressing this opinion Superin-
tendent Kinney was referring to all
the public school teachers in the ter
ritory
1T should be remembered" he told
the Star-Bulletin today, that a teach
er is required to maintain a standard
of living which will be a credit both
to the teacher and to the community.
A teacher must have decent clothing
and live in decent surroundings and
have decent associates, and all this
costs money.
The teachers in the Hawaiian ISL
ands are better paid than teachers in
most of the states, but the cost of liv-
ing is considerably higher here Since
the paying of bonuses, the lower paid
public school teachers do not get as
much pay as that of many plantation
laborers.
Percentage Plan Best
Il recommend very strongly to the
teachers, however, that in any effort
to secure better pay they ask that
the increase in the salary appropria-
ton be made on the percentage basis.
There are two reasons for this:
First, because in this way the pro-
portions established by the present
salary schedule would be maintained,
although the salaries would be higher
Second, that in case some time in
the future a retrenchment policy is
as was done during the
time George r. Carter was governor
and when all salaries of teachers were
reduced 20 per cent, it will be most
unlikely that any reduction would be
made beyond the percentage of in
crease made by the coming legislature.

THE PROPOSED BOND ELECTION.

While the vote at the recent general election upon
the municipal bond proposals was not sufficient to
carry the bonds il was sufficient to demonstrate
that majority sentiment in Honolulu favors issll-
ing bonds instead of increasing taxes, to care for
specified public improvements.
There is just as much opposition now to the in
ereasing of taxes as there month ago. In the
meantime, public discussion of the bond questions
has continued.
Advocates of the tax increase say that, the bond
proposals having been defeated, the community
should get together tax-increase program to
take to the legislature. But meanwhile advocates
of bonds are bringing forward new election pro-
posa and it rests with the taxpayers whether they
wish special election, or a bond election along
with the municipal election next spring an aban-
donment of the bond plan together and a reliance
on the taxincrease scheme.
One thing is certain-if another election on bonds
is decided upon it should be preceded by real
paign of education, in which men qualified ntell
gently to discuss the subject will 60 before precinct
club meetings as nonpartsans and present the pros
and cons fully and fairly; and in which the super
visors will begin earlier and carry further the cam
paign of systematic publicity they swung into action
during the Blessings days Of the November fight

TO DISCUSS NEW SITE

In line with the Recommendation
made by Chairman Charles r. Forbes
to the harbor commission. whereby a
committee from the boat clubs should
meet with the board members at some
session to discuss moving from their
present locations on the waterfront to
some new site, the Myrtle club has
already named men to represent it in
such a conference.
These men are A. J. Porter, Charles
Davis and A. B. Carter. 1t is under
stood that the other clubs who will
be required to move from their pres
ent sites are considering the sugges-
ton of Chairman Forbes, and it is
probable that meeting as proposed
may be held in a short time.
