DEMOCRATIC SAMPLES.

Democratic speaker told precinct crowd at
Kalhikai last night that the Honolulu papers want
to put all the Hawaiians on the island of Lanai so
that the haoles could have Oahu all to themselves.
joe Fern, Democratic candidate for mayor, called
the Republicans lot of liars, and charged Mayor
Lane with being responsible for the high price of
fish and -four.
That Is the sort of political rot which makes the
Democratic cause as whole impossible to take
even with amusement 1t is also the sort of buster
ing bunk which hahdicaps pair of good men run
ming for supervisor on the Democratic ticket -
Petrie and Mcclellan. 1t is also reflection on the
Intelligence of the voters which they should immedi

Checking The U.Boat Menace

Judging by the figures officially announced by the
British admiralty yesterday, the Uboat menace Is
being materially checker Compared with the losses
late IN April and early in May, those Of the past two
weeks are slight. =. y
The admiralty's efRcial statements are issued
each Wednesday. On Wednesday, May 2, the ad
niraly admitted loss Of 81 vessels, 80 over l6OO
tons and Is under that tonnage. Arrivals and sail
'hrs for the week were Il 76 and $3.50 respectively
For the previous week, the losses were 90 vessels
out Of 52D5 arrivals and departures. ~~+
Yesterdays announcement was that ls vessels
over 1000 tons, one under, and one fishing vessel
were sunk by submarines in the preceding seven
DAYS. The week before this the figures were almost
precisely the same is vessels over 1900 tons being
reported lost a>, IS
1T Il thus plain that the Allies, IL the ofRcia
statement is to be taken at face value have checked
the submarine menace very markedly. In fact, Ger
many can never hope to starve out England unless
her seapirates can sink more than 10 or 20 vessels
week. r..
Premier Lloyd George has made it point in re
cent speeches to deny the charges made by some
members Of parliament that the true losses by sub
marines were being concealed. In his recent Guild
hall speech he declared:
ave are very alarmed at the ngures that appear
every morning. But we are publishing them all be
csnse We want the public to know. We are conceal
ind nothing" This vas at the time when the losses
we're averaging above 50 week
At the same time, arrangements were being inadt
for reorganization Of the internal administration
81 the admiralty, war STAFF being created similar
IS that IN the army Office. Under this reorg anisa
iien. more tine was to be given the sea.lords for
questions Of strategy. 80
The figures for the past two weeks bear out the
rsnorts that way had been found to guard against
ia e1bmarnes and II that has been done partly BY
American inyenfiveness the details viii be awaited
with all the more interest. 49,.

Rritain,s pependenee-and Why

What you read between the lines
is often more impressive than what
you read in the lines themselves. A
recent article in the "Annalist" bears
the heading "England's War-born
Economic Freedom" and it is declar-
ed that the war has effected a rev.
olutior in Great Britain's industrial
life and made her independent of Ger
man imports" There Is nowhere the
6irect declaration that England was an
economic dependent of Germany. but
the assertion that she gained econo-
mic freedom and is no longer de-
pendent upon German imports. carries
with it the necessary inference that
she had been dependent upon Ger
man industry. The article has no
meaning of purpose unless that were
the fact.
Tie great difference between the
economic policies Of Great Britain and
Germany was that the latter has main
tained A protective tariff policy for
As years while the former has been
adhoring to the policy Of free trade.
Germany discouraged imports from
England, while England encoura eed
imports from Germany. Of course
German industries were developed
much more rapidly than those of Eng
land. IT was that Industrial develop
ment that gave Germany the strength
to make the wonderful fight she has
against the nations Of far greater no.
tential strength than hers. GERMANY
had become as near independent eca-
roncally as it was possible for her
TO he. Great Britain had pursued a
policy that increased her dependence.
In the end, Great Britain and her
allies will win the war hut they be.
gan under great handicap which has
cost an enormous waste Of lives and
wealth.

Neither of these men had any public
record on the tariff. Four of these
men are pronounced free-traders and
the other two are practically unknown

will be greater, and where he can

be interesting to see what sort OF
man the President will appoint to
succeed him.

A Partisan Tariff Commission

II there was any one body created
during the present administration
which II was understood was to be
non partisan and unbiased in charac-
ter, the tariff commission was such a
body. All the discussion that has ever

alton Of a tariff commission has been
fased upon the assumption that a
commission so created would be COM
POSED OF men who would approach
their work with open minds so tina,
the Congress Of the United States
would have the benefit OF facts gath
cred and arranged without the inhu-
ence Of prejudice.
When the President came to ap-
point the tariff commission he confess
ed that he realized the difficulty OF
the task and took seven months to
select the individuals who would con-
