At a time when Mexican border experiences have
brought out condemnation of the national guard

has gone steadily ahead developing its home organi.

For the purposes it is designed 10 fulfill, the
National Guard of Hawaii is developing satisfac.
torly Considering the delay in securing equip,

rate which is eloquent testimonial TO their enthusi:
astc patriotism.
The legislature ought to deal in blIsinessike
way with the guard in making appropriations. II
onght not he over generous nor ought it be nggard-
ly Several influential legislators have been officers
of companies. They know the needs of their own
districts They know also to what extent careful
provision now for supplies will augment the enthu-
siasm and efficiency in companies and regiments
slow in getting guns and clothing. They know
where armories are needed and approximately how
much should be spent.
This seems to be a case prominently where the
needs of the guard can be fairly well established by
putting together the experience of the past two
years in each section of the islands The territory
speaking now of the taxpayers-is prepared to
see that the guard is welequipped. 1t remains for
the legislators to work out the detailed program,

From the New York Sun
Germany is fighting for the freedom of the seas
and the sancity of international law This the
world knows, because Germany admits it, The pres
ent situation confirms Germanys position, any
body can see for:
Germany orders neutral ships to paint themselves
up like barberpoles the best style of German art
Germany DEGREES how many neutral ships shall
sail from and for their home ports each week
Germany sinks neutral merchant ships at sight,
without stopping for warning, visit or search.
Germany orders neutral ships not to arm them
selves for protection against pirates;
Germany amends international law over night in
time of war, as suits the exigenccs Of her own
cause.
Plainly. therefore, Germany is the defender of
freedom of the seas the guardian of international
law.

THE wHEEIDoN CASE.

day to penal servitude. The other was acquitted.
Here is one Of the most important cases before a
British court in years 1t all over in less than
40 days after the arrests The trial occupied only

lions for trials, challenges of jurors and all the
rest Of the rigmaroe. Justice would move with leaden
Has British justice by its celebrity lost any in
refutation for fair play and exactitude? On the

on THE FIRINGLINE.

Sometime this week probably BY Thursday, the
Oahu delegation will report 10 the house upon the
proposed city charter.
As the situation stands the draft reported
ont BY the delegation will lie the convention char
ter" with some notifications.
The chief notifications will be (l) TO make the
proposed position OF superintendent of city works
appointve instead OF elective and 81 to provide
for an appontive chief Of police taking charge Of
the police department largely replacing the present
position Of sheriff and reducing il to something little
more than paperseryer.
These notifications appear 10 be put forward as a
compromise between the convention charter and the
clarcr suggested and backed by the civic organiza.
lions. In reality, il is not al all "fftyffty proI
sition." The Republican political generals behind
the convention charter are conceding little and re-
tanning much Their proposal for chief of police,
for instance, looks more like political than civic
move II appears to be dictated by the belief that
sheriff Rose, a Democrat cannot be beaten at the
polls and therefore il is good Republican politics TO
take the police department from him and put it in
the hands of an appointee of Republican mayor
and board Of supervisor.
The politicians behind the convention charter are
going ahead with a calm disregard for the senti-
ment Of the civic and business organizations which
would be remarkable were il not that these very
organizations have as yet failed TO shop theb
sfrcngth on the fring-linc.
That firng.Iine lis not at meetings which pass
resolutions. 1t is not at meetings which enter
general denunciaton OF politics and politicians. II
Is not over the dinnertable or at the clubs.
II is hringlne made up not only of organza
tions, but Of rotes.
1t is flring.line which will demonstrate that
there are rotes as well resolutions in the hands
OF the Chamber of Commerce, the Ad Club, the
Rotary Club, the Civic Federation the Commercial
Club and the Mems League.
Some may take the attitude, Our organization
can't go into politics."
This, in Honolulu, is equivalent to saying Our
organizations cant fight Tor civic betiernlent
Because The time is here when politics good
clean, straightforward legitimate community poll
iics-is needed to win the battle for modern, pro
eiessivc charter.
There are hundreds OF rOtcs represented poten-

there are voters in Observation-Disclosures upon hun

noticed that the. automobile provided
BY the city for the board Of works and
also the high-powered and expensive
auto provided for the board OF educa-
ton are used every day for the pur-
pose of transporting the commission
ers and certain well-paid assistants to
and from their homes the City Hail
and in some instances to the places OF.
business OF certain commissioners.
Each morning the city autos may
be seen about 8 o'clock going to the
homes of each commissioner. In the
case of the board of works officials,
three distinct trips are made, as each
commissioner lives in a different sec
ton. At noon the commissioners are
taken to and from their homes again
or to luxurious cafes. 4 In the case OF
commissioners operating stores, as
does the president Of the board OF
education, he is taken to and from his
store on Kearny street. What portion
of the day is required for this work

takes considerable time Each com.
missioner is also transported to his
home after the short workday of six
or seven hours is completed by our
"hard-worked" public servants. The
expense of gasoline, tires and repair
bills must be considerable for this
