If Francisco Molina, the Spanish murderer
Of Hawaii, has the sense Of humor with Which
he has been credited, he must have been laugh

Big Island police to catch him. Twice since
he shot and killed Portuguese watchman at
Naalehu and made his escape has Molina been
arrested for minor offenses and neither time
did the police recognize in him the desperate

out the national guard.
Molina is now found IN lHookena Jail, where
he has beenifor three months of sentence. for
assault. Previously he was arrested at Wal

and allowed to go. AT the same time, placards

Honolulu should not however, indulge in
any large amount of ridieule at the shorteom-

clumsiness of our own. The chances are all

MAKING OFFICERS IN UNIVERSITIES.
tFrom the Minneapolis .JournaIt

..~. lFrom the Minneapolis Journal
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 curricuIa 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 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
twas turned downlby the regents +. pr 81,
On the other hand, Minnesota may well con
slider the establishment of complete military
course for training officers on the Michigan
plan by eoordinating the various courses val
liable for that purpose already offered in the
scientific and technical colleges. Minneapolis
has large and wel-organized cadet corps,
which would furnish practical training in com
mand for those taking the higher military
course. ILL.,.
Plans like these illustrate how much may,
and doubtless will, be done by our universities
to supply the lack of officer material which is
now a serious obstacle in the path to national
preparedness. =.

For ONE thing, the Republicans have put the
Democrats on record rs saving that while a

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
publicans also laid powder trains of trouble
for 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 dyestuifs. 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

rejected BY the Democrats.
Lodges action was in line with that of

as the Republicans have thus far shown them
selves masters of the Democrats at this kind of
political statecraft, the effort will probably bel
successful.
The Wilson administration has been ham
lnered from the start on the score that it was
inimical to business, even to legitimate bust
ness. The cry will be redoubled in the cam
paign, and the parliamentary skirmishes which
preceded last Saturday s vote on the sugar bill
have furnished several hand grenades which
Republicans will hurl into the opposite trenches
