LETTERS
READING THE SIGNS.

EDITOR Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: Being a stranger in your beau
tiful, and DESTROYS of seeing all there
is to be seen, and of learning all there
Is to learn, as far as my ability to
absorb the same will make good, l
would like to ask II the language
known as volapuk 10 being introduc-
ed here, or is it some newborn phone
tic dialect? l am inclined to ask these
questions after reading many of those
black and white" interchangeable let
ter window signs that appear in all
parts of the city. have taken partt
cular notice that some Of them have
such words as harness." carefully"
"eekw," Tusday, Clearance, "frammed,"
etc. suppose there are lot that I
have not seen, but am interested i'm
mensely in the ones that have been
studying. 1t is certainly wonderful.
The only drawback is that good spell
ers must learn all over again.

JOHN HUGHES SUGGESTION.

Editor Star-Bulletin:
Sir: The hiatus in the board OF
supervisors over the appointment OF
q city engineer, and the feverish haste
Of some to have Mr.. Collins, retir'
ing official, handicap his successor by
appointing his assistant, is, notwtth'
standing the parrot talk Of efficiency
and economy, moves and counter
moves for political prestige and
power.
If our city fathers really mean
business, they would appoint; say the
city engineer of Kauai, he has every
requisite called for by Mr.. Collins,
give him a salary Of $4,000 per year,
turn over to him our public utilities
unhampered by q Road Committee"
for the road committee generally
a plum for the most adroit politician
on the board is the Ely in the amber"
Of every city government we have
had. 1t ought to be reconstructed out
of existence.

WOMAN'S AUXILIARY
DONATES $500 FOR
BUILDING OF Raj I

Evidence Of q new spirit Of CO.
operation which Is arising between
the mems department and the wo-
mems auxiliary Of the Outrigger Club
comes in the announcement that the
women have appropriated $500 to con-
struct a second raft, to be placed
half way out TO the diving stand along
the life rope. This appropriation was
made following the campaign started
among the men Of the club to build
the other raft beyond the diving
stand.
That this act Of the women's auxi-
liary marks the beginning Of a new
cooperation between the two depart
ments of the club IL the belief OF
many members Of the club. In express
ing his appreciation for the act OF
the women Of the club. Harry B,
Campbell, president Of the Outrigger
Club, said yesterday that he looked
for an end Of past differences in a
very short time.

"KILL THIS SOCIALIST SNAKE"

At no time within the memory of active men and
women has that freedom Of speech which also
spells license been vital and at the same time so
lperilous subject at present. Very nearly every
socialist publication in the United States has been
barred from the United States mails because Of the
Objectionable manner in which they have handled
the fact of our participation in the Mere crit
icism-nere differences of opinion in regard to the
manner in which this war shall be conducted have
at no time been interfered with, but socialists and
their kind have not hesitated to stoop to what in
Germany has been considered treason and punish
ed az such.
They have made sneering references to the part
panicstricken American bankers have taken to pro-
tect their loans to the tottering Allies There have
been open charges that American manufacturers
have caused an upheaval to take advantage of in.
custrial conditions, but at no time has there been
q word Of condemnation Of the part that Germany
and her henchmen have played in this conflict.
It IL no wonder that John Spargo, formerly one
of their number has said that the American social
lists are fighting the Huns game
Our government does not object to intelligent
criticism Of it's policies; indeed it is the privilege
Of an American to voice them even in times of war,
but to deliberately misrepresent conditions such
calling this Capitalists war, in the face of all
the United States has suffered from the German
government is not to be countenanced
Deliberate misrepresentation from our enemies
we cannot help butt is intoerable that such things
should be permitted within the bounds of the Unit
ed States Either it is the work of traitors that
of bile poisoned malcontents who will hesitate at
nothing to embarrass the government with which
they disagree. In either case the government should
not stop at closing the mails to each issue of their
publications as they come from the press, but
should prevent them from printing at least until
the war is over. =, ~ .. :

KAPPA LAND CASE is
CONTINUED TO ALLOW
SIDES TO FILE BRIEFS

After one afternoon had been de-
voted to preliminary argument, plain,
tiff and defendant in the case Of Mrs,
Julia Loane against Walter A. Engle,
chief clerk in the land office, a petit,
ton for mandamus, yesterday re-
quested Circuit Judge Kemp to allow
them time for the filing Of briefs. The
motion was granted. 1t will be about
IS days before the argument is re-
sumed.
Mrs. Loane is seeking to have the
court compel Engle to reinstate her
name among those of the persons who
are entitled to lots in the Kappa, Kau'
al, homestead tract. She was one OF
those who drew lots but her name was
rejected because her husband had al
so filed an application.

REPORT ON PROMOTION
OF COLONEL HERO NOT
OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED

Col. Andrew Hero, Jr., commander
of Fort Ruger, yesterday received a
cable message from a friend on the
mainland offering congratulations on
his appointment as brigadier-general.
No official word has been received
by the general as to the promotion,
but it seems practically sure that the
news is correct and was probably seen
in some Of the Chicago papers from
which the message was sent.
If the officer has been thus ap.
pointed it seems quite likely that he
may be named to succeed Brig. Gen.
Charles G. Treat, who has been or
dered to the mainland.

Picking The Engineer

John Hughes suggests that the board of supervis
ors appropriate a six-thOusand salary for the
city engineer and invite Engineer MOragne Of Kauai
TO take hold of the local situation.
The main thought of Mr.. Hughes will be heartily
Endorsed by all citizens with an Of business
Judgment namely that the city secure a high
grade man for the position and pay him we'll.
This paper has not suggested any particular can
didate for the Office of engineer. The supervisors
ought to have the knowledge of men available to
enable them to make the best selection Mr.. Moragne
has made a complete success of the road building
business of Kauai, but he has had much different
problem from that presented on Oahu. Kauai has
many dirt roads, and it's macadam roads do not
carry the traffic of any of the main avenues OF this
island Another island engineer who has made a
success of road construction is Hugh Howell OF
Maui Mr.. Howell is one of the few engineers who,
with the late Guy Gere has been willing to admit
that he has made mistakes in road construction and
gained knowledge while in the public service. The
average road engineer of Hawaii has maintained
admit what a large part of his education has been
secured at government expense.
These men mentioned have had experience, they
study their problems. they have had technical train
ing, they know how to handle men, they keep pace
with modern methods in highway construction
they are Of the type that Honolulu requires. TIC
employ this class of engineer is an investment; to
employ political, road patching dummy, is DELHI
crate, and in these times of war, criminal waste
The supervisors are right in standing by their
purpose to place the milon-dollar road program in
the hands Of an engineer who sizes up to the job
They should have all the moral and personal sup
port possible to give. Every dollar expended this
year must be a dollar that secures full value.
