WHAT ABOUT THE CITY ELECTION

DO the voters want the present board Of super
lyisors, or a jority OF the board, reelected?
If 81, there is fair chance for four or five out 0
the seven, since asprants for the Office are dis
ting1iished chiefly by their absence.
III the voters want new blood on the board other
men. other methods other ideas the time to begin
getting results is now. 1t is time to begin getting
good candidates ont for Office.
Honolulu will get just as good government as the
majority of the voters permit it to hayeand no bet
ter If the majority of the voters satisfied with
The present administration, they can easily keep il
in power for two years longer. Most of the super
ysors Intend TO run for reelection. Mayor Lane
will be a candidate TO succeed himself SO will City
Clerk KaIauokalani, Auditor Biekne City Attor-
ney Brown. Sheriff Rose and Treasurer Conkling.
The present administration, particularly the sup
eryisors, went into Office pledged to certain definite
things. Those who listened TO the stump speeches
of the municipal campaign two years ago last
November remember the promises of good roads APP
pcation of the frontagetax efficient administration
OF city departments. The time has now come when
the majority of city officials will ask for reelection
and this time they must ask it not the basis of
promises for the future but the basis of what they
s'llave done to make good their pledges.
If the majority of yoters satisfied the pledges
have been kept, with due regard TO the circum-
stances there will be little difficulty in nsuring the
reelection ofthe administration since the city is
normally Republican and this is Republican adj
sministration, except in the sherifs Office
.But If change is desired. it is quite time now.
that other candidates be suggested.
The StarBulletn would like TO hear from citizens
on this subject. What do you think of the city gov
Aernment? Has it made good? If not, why not?
Can YOU suggest Worthwhile candidates for super
visor, in you ask change?
Not mere criticism, not senseless knocking" is
wanted, but constructive suggestions and definite
faets Ninscase. there is condemnation Of any super
visor or city department. Write the Star Bulletin
letter and let us have your opinion.

CHINA AND GERMANY.

Chinas attitude toward the European belligprents
is easy 10 understand China is inclined to be rath
Ter friendly toward Germany because only in Ger
many and German in this war can she see
any definite hope thai the hold of Japan will be
broken. Great Britain and Russia are so bound by
treaties with Japan that they cannot 10 block
the japanese encroachmpntS on Chinese territory
and Chinese sovereignty Though Germany wrench
ed TSingtau from China in order establish great
naval and military base on the Oriental coast Pc
king finds this much smaller outrage than the
steady agressiOns China must suffer at the hands Of
the diplomatic and military authorities in Toxic
Hence China does not want to follow the example
of the United States and other neutrals in breaking
relations with Germany. However. too much rpli-
ance should not be placed in the reports that Japan
will not influence China in this affair. If il suits
Japan's aims for Picking TO get at loggerheads with
Berlin. influence will be used in the peculiar and
indirect way Japan has already found effective.
There is another aspect TO this subject which must
be borne in mind. Japan is playing curious diplo
matte game. Though the sworn ally of the Entente
group and bound by special ties to England and
Russia she is acting with considerable friendliness
toward Germany. Many japanese newspapers and
not few public leaders continually advocate an
alliance with Germany and point oct the disadvan
tages of the alliances with England and Russia, both
of which have commercial interests in the Orient
Numerically opposed to The Japanese commercial
interests. -~..-..-.s q. s.=
The result is that Japan is regarded as possible
ally of Germany in the future. For diplomatic pur
poses, it may therefore suit Toxic TO make strong
show of allowing China to choose her own course,
as neutral, toward Germany. If China continues
friendly relations, Toxic may thereby gain credit in
Berlin. As eatspaw, it will be observed China is
very well suited for pulling Japans chestnuts out
OF the fire.

board passed a resolution disbanding

The c. E. is still disbanded, but an
other resolution has been passed pro-

"a committee also was appointed to

FOUR SENATORS
! ARE ON GROUND

To be on the ground early and get
acclimated to Honolulu's weather and
ways four senators from other islands
are already in town as the advance
guard of the coming legislature.
There are also a few representatives.
One of the new senators is George
Kamauoha, who, from the way he is
keeping his eyes open and his mouth
shut, may be destined to become the
wise old fox" of the session.
Kamauoha Of Kona, Hawaii. is one
OF the Oldest IN political experience in
Hawaii and his service dates back to
the time of the house Of mobiles in the
DAYS of royalty. He has little to say
about what he will do and would not
even commit himself on the appropria-
ton to bring the congressional party
here. although other legislators believe
he will favor that
One thing Kamauoha did say, how
ever. and with emphasis, was that the
people UP in Hawaii wanted roads.

SAY KOREANS EAGER
FOR ENLISTMENT IN

Because they desire to enlist in the
q. S. navy is the reason given in court
circles for the rush during the last
few days of Koreans to federal court
to declare their intention to become
American citizens. Up to noon today
four Koreans had taken out their
first papers. They were: Es

THE MODERN WAY.


Even in large cities the trend in government now
adays is toward shortening the ballot fixing respon-
sibty and putting technical jobs in the hands of
technically trained men.
In Philadelphia, one of the great American cities,
it is proposed to cut the council by about vesxths
Another proposal in the Quaker City is to prevent
dual oficeholding. No city official will be allowed
to hold more than one Office, and salaries will be
made commensurate with the services performed
In smaller cities, the movement toward the city
manager form of government is so evident that Ho
noulu should not ignore it in drafting the new city
charter Yet the charter convention of 1915 did
ignore this modern tendency-ignored it, beat it
back suppressed those who wished to advocate it.
And the charter conventions politics saturated
proposal will shortly go before the territorial leg
islature.
X An astute politician tells the Star Bulletin that
if one certain member of the Oahu delegaton-a
businessman-will oppose the charter conventions
proposal it will be beaten. Certainly it ought to
be beaten. ~...&-s

The Advertiser suggests this morning that Judge
Hatch would have a harder time getting elected for
another term than any other supervisor. The Star,
Bulletin does not believe this to be the case. We be-
lieve he would poll surprisingly large vote That
he has been independent in his convictions and his
vote the board is in his favor The Star Bulletin
and Judge Hatch have differed on a few matters of
city government and probably would occasionally
differ if he were in Office another term, but recog
snize the quality of his service, the intelligence he
applies to city problems the sympathy with which
he approaches difficulties inseparable from local
politics and finally. his willingness to stand by his
guns We believe he has made comparatively few
opponents and very many stanch supporters among
thesyoters of the city.
