has fought according TO the London
prize ring rules and with bare
knuckles, combats that end only when
one is beaten into helplessness and
without the hree-minute -fight-one-

MARCH IL, 1917.
On THE FIRING-LINE.

Sometime, this week, probably by Thursday. tb'
Oahu delegation will report to the house upon thu
proposed city charter. 10. .-.....
AS the situation HOW stands. the draft reported
out by the delegation will be the convention char
ter" with some notifications
The chief notifications will be ~ TO make thu
proposed position OF superintendent of city works
appointve instead Of elective, and ~ to provide
for an appointive chief Of police taking charge Of
the police department, largely replacing the present
position OF sheriff and reducing ii TO something LITTLE
more than paper-seryer .."
These notifications appear TO be put forward as 9
compromise between the convention charter and the
charter suggested and backed by the civic organza
lions In reality, it is not at all ffty-fty propo
Eition." The Republican political generals behind
the convention charter conceding little and re
tanning much. Their proposal for chief of police
for instance, looks more like political than civic
move 1t appears TO be dictated by the belief that
Sheriff Rose, Democrat, cannot be beaten at the
polls and therefore 1t is good Republican politics to
take the police department from him and put it in
The hands Of IN appointee of d Republican mayor
and board Of supervisor ,.
The politicians, behind the convention charter are
going ahead WITH d calm disregard for the senti
ment of the civic and business organizations which
would be remarkable were il not that these yer.
Organizations have as yet failed to shoe thci,
st1cngth on the1fringI line
That firing line is not at meetings which pass
resolutions. 1t rs not at meetings which enter a
general denuncation of politics and politicians. II
is not over the dinner.tabe or at the clubs.
1t is a fring-line made up not only of organiza
tons, but of Doters.
1t is firing-line which will demonstrate that
there are Uotes as well as resolutions in the hands
Of the Chamber of Commerce, the AID Club, the
Rotary Club, the Civic. Federation, the Commercial
Club and the Mems League. ssessss
Some may take the attitude, '0ur organization
can't 90 into politics. q
This, in Honolulu, is equivalent to saying. sour
organizations can't fight for civic betterment.o

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: Being an employee of the Amer
lean Surety Company feel 1t my duty
to aequaint the, general public with a
few true facts. In the first place the
Waipio quarry has never been in bet
ter shape TO ship rock than at the
present time. We have two, new quar-
ries open, working two derTicks and
one big crane. We have been handi-
capped in making new roads and lay
ing track. We have handled thous-
ands of tons Of muck which was at
the time dead work, for all the good
rock was buried and OF course il had
TO be stripped before it could be
drilled and quartered for shipment. At
present we are equipped to load scow
II
that was never done before in the his
tory of the quarry.
We also state that the writer OF the
piece published in the Star-Bulletin
of March 2, 1917, Work on Break
water Progressing Slowly does not
know what he is talking about. We
have shipped more rock during the
months of January and February, 1917,
than was ever shipped before, regard
less of our unfortunate mishaps and
bad weather. The tug and barge can
leave Hilo and return loaded in 16
hours And that was never done in
Mr.. Marshalls time. 1t generally took
the whole bloomin' day" to load a
seow. wonder If that Mr.. Writer
knows that the Waiakea quarry is 100
feet above sea level with no canal at
tachment? How would he tow a barge
up and back? | suppose he would sug.
gest that 1t be towed with a Ford ma
chine. That would be rather hard on
our scow's bottom, and we have only
two in "our fleet"

Editor The Chronicle Sir: have
noticed that the automobile provided
by the city for the board of works and
ealso 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 wellpaid assistants to
and from their homes 2 the City Hall
and in some instances 10 the places of
business of certain commissioners.
Each morning the city autos may
be SgeH ab6At 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. 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
of the city autos do not know, but 1t
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
favored special service for our city
officials. Are the street cars not good
enough for our city officials? II they
we're employed in private undertake
ings they would have to pay their own
transportation each day. II appears
that the greater part of the work of
the municipal automobiles is devoted
to trips that are not strictly connected
with official business. I I am informed
that the same condition that / men,
ton applies to the automobiles OF
nearly every city department Please
assist the citizens and taxpayers Of
this municipality in giving publicity
to this unwarranted assumption of pub
lie servants Our day workers in the
board Of works and other municipal
departments are not provided by the
city with free automobile service. Why
should the higher-ups get such high
priced transportation? Would it not
be a good idea for the finance commit
tee of the supervisors to arrange for
free transportation for these high
priced commissioners? Get them
passes on the Geary street municipal:
system, and arrange with the United
Railroads to sell tickets On the school

THE WIMBLEDON CASE.

:
British Justice has long been synonymous with
clean4lit rapid action in court. The latest case
exemplines it.
inst two days were required for the trial, convic
ton and sentence Of four persons accused OF con
spiring 10 murder Premier Lloyd George and War
Council Member Arthur Henderson. Mrs. Alice
Wheeldon, her two daughters and her sonin-Iaw
we're arrested on january 81. They were arragned
February g. The trial began March9. 1t was con
cluded March 10. Three were sentenced the same
day tospenal seryitude.K The other was acquitted.
Here Is one OF the most important cases before a
British court in years 1t was all in less than
40 days after the arrests The trial occupied only
few hours.
How long one may wonder, would such trial
occupy in the United States? What with detailed
and intricate indictments, demurrers, appeals mo-
lions for new trials challenges of jurors and all the
rest of the rgmarole Justice would with leaden

Has British justice by its celebrity lost any in
reputation for fair play and exactitude? On the
contrary there is less complaint in England than in
the United States that the ends of justice are de
