At half past two Saturday afternoon
the members of the Harvard Club of

at the home of James d. Dole, the

Unfortunately, the total tallies Of the

what il used 10 De and will net be
what 1t ought until certain changes
have been brought about.
The cause for the present state OF
affairs is too much professionalism.
The boys playing now days. for the
most part want money and are not
playing for the sport
Gaines ale played in an irregular
series, but for no definite end. There
is no championship TO stimulate live
competition among the players said
Mr.. Castle.
Mr., Castle pointed out that baseball
has had its ups and downs in Homo
lulu, but this is one OF the worst.
There we're times when the men on
the teams were willing to buy their
own shoes, never thought OF missing
practse, twice a week, and crowds OF
Honolulu's fans viewed with excite
ment the championship games. Such
things are almost unknown.
Il believe that the best thing to do
to remedy the present situation is to
bring about complete cessation OF
baseball in Honolulu. The fans OF
Honolulu are tired OF the sport as 1t
exists, and what is more, baseball is
a seasonable sport just as football is.
1t could be dropped until next spring
anyway.
The ball parks are not drawing the
old Honolulu fans now and it will be
best for them to give the game rest"
said Mr. Castle.
Mr.. Castle stated that he knew moth.

SWANS All-Stars to the islands this
winter for a series of games.

That baseball in Honolulu is dying
and that professionalism is what is
causing its gradual death, was the
statement Of A. L. Castle, probably
the best known baseball promoter in

ball in Honolulu which is we'll illus

said;

a hard thing to say. At any rate,
there is every indication that the sport

Governor Philip favors the short
out the good results that would follow
its adoption. This would mean gradu-
ally a governors cabinet such as the
president of the United States now
controls. 1t would mean taking the
election of certain state officers out of
the hands of the people making the
chief executive responsible for their
conduct in official affairs. He advises
that the secretary of state, state trea-
surer and attorney general be appoint
ed by the governor with long terms the
same as he proposes for governor.
There is much to commend this for the
good of the public as these public men
under present conditions must devote
a considerable share of their time to
campaigning for reelection, thereby
being absent from their duties. One
objection to the short ballot is that it
would take the election of such officers
out OF the hands of the people, but it
from the change would overbalance
this objection.
Senator Charles Mulberger of this
city gives the proposed change his en-
dorsement as a matter of business

Madison dispatches state that Will
lam Jennings Bryan is coming to
Wisconsin to find out how the demo-
cratic leaders of this state view his
candidacy for president in 1920.
Mr.. Bryan will be the principal
speaker at a massmeeting there on
Jan. %. The purpose of the meeting
is to work up sentiment for the bill to
be introduced in the legislature provi-
ding a state wide referendum on pro-
hibition. The political significance of
this occasion is brought to light by
letters received there from The Com
moner.
Mr.. Bryon is asking close friends
and old-time followers in Madison to
send him a list of leading democrats
of the state. 1t is his intention to
sound them out on the national pro-
hibition question, and well informed
persons in Madison believe that Bry-
ans interest in the views. of party
leaders is conclusive evidence that he
will again run for president.
More than that, they think that while
ne is in Madison he will lay the wires
for a new Bryon organization in Wis
consin, with the idea of capturing the
ocratic national convention.

Results of Life In Darkness,

A scientist kept goldfishes In a

but in absolute darkness. He kept 1t
up for over three years and then Oh

CURED in the fish. The color first be-
came black, but after the second year
it became golden again, and the reason
for this is interesting. In the first in
stance the dark pigment cells spread
out and covered up the subjacent layer
of crystals which gives the goldfish its
golden sheen. In the second instance
the phagocytes devoured the dark pig
ment cells and thus re-exposed the
golden layer. The changes in the eye
were even more interesting. The
structure Of the eye was completely
altered. The fish became totally blind.
The experiment suggests that an In

WHY NOT REGULATE EVERYTHING

Opposition Of the Board of Cover
nors of the Cincinnati Advertisers
club to the Randall advertising bill
pending in congress is timely and SEN
sible. This measure, if enacted into
law. is to withhold from the mails any
publication or printed matter adver-
Using intoxicating liquors for sale.
Enactment Of this bill into law will
establish a precedent which quickly
and easily may lead to governmental
censorship of all printed matter. II
it becomes unlawful to publish adver-
Using relating to the sale of intozi-
eating liquors, it will be but step
to prohibit the advertising of tobacco,
of underwear, of stockings or of any
other commodity in which large por-
ton OF the public is interested. 1t
would almost appear that law SO
drastic in its operation would be in
contrayention of the constitutional
guarantees to the press. Not because
the bill in question relates to adver-
Using of alcohol, but for the broader
reason that it impinges upon personal
rights, members of congress should
study the measure seriously before
committing themselves to its support.

COMMISSIONS FOUND
TO Be TOO COSTLY


AT conference of legislators on
Tuesday on the general subject of
commissions this startling situation
was brought to light:
That the commission plan in Wis
consin has grown to such proportions
that it will be next to impossible to
effect any real economy concerning
the activities Of these boards unless
there Is further consolidation of COM
missions, or, in fact, some of them are
abandoned
The other alternative, if the COM
mission program is to be continued
is to lnaugurate a new system of ad-
mlnistratiOn, whereby the different
boards will bring in enough revenue to
meet part of the expense of mainte-
nance
Two important facts stood out in the
discussion at Tuesdays conference:
Ffrst-That commissions threaten to
overshadow the constitutional depart
ments Of state government.
Secondhand commissions have so
broadened their activities and added to
the machinery of administration that it
is practically impossible to show a
saving III appropriations.
1t was shown that if the program of
delegating to these bodies important
functions of government is to be &C
copied as a permanent public policy,
the legislature and the people may
have to give up the idea that material
economy can be effected in this direc-
ton. IT, on the other hand, the leg
islature is not willing to accept this
public policy, it was pointed out that
radical steps will have to be taken to
curb the growth of commissions or to
outline some new policy of administra-
ton which will be a source of revenue
| to the state, thus cutting down ap-
preparations.
In his message to the legislature
Gov Philip did not go into the ques-
ton Of further consolidation. He is
giving the subject careful considera-
ton and study and will express his
views in special message early in
| the session
