"Mr. Frohman would no doubt

"As solid government bond" the slogan aps
piled to men of worth and standing whose integrity
is unimpeachable and honesty unquestioned. 4 gov,
eminent bond is the safest Of all investments 1t is
not speculation it is certainty. Its yield is sure.
1t is along the lines of savings that worth while.
But there is another side to the situation. The
owner Of bond is a full-fedged partner with gov
eminent. His interests are paramount for a regime
Of good government and being partner he will see
to it that bad government gets no foothold. He is
financial stakeholder of preferred, giItedge, non
assessabe shares in the safest largest and surest
diyidendpaying concern in existence.
Every good citizen desires clean government. To
this end there must be forcefu brains backed up by
patriotism There must be the best governmental
officers obtainable There must be an elimination
of that which savors of selfseeking political ends
The electorate must be sought, not seeking. To do
all this; to elevate government either federal.

individual to hold partnership in his government

by other heads. Also. Il would be
well to so into the matter Of the
money he has saved the government
on the purchase price of powder and
other materials used by the govern
ment In the navy-and then to inves-
tigate the claims that have been made
that the cause Of the attacks that
have been made on Daniels was insti-
gated by those who lost some rich
profits by reason Of the business abfl.
ity Of the secretary Of the navy.
The kind Of criticism that is made
by this anonymous editorial Is easy
to make-and don't prove anything.
For example, I can attack Thomas
Edison In the same way. ! can say
that he is an Incompetent blusterer;
that most Of the inventions he claimed
were ideas that were the work Of
other mems brains. That had he
been a real inventor he would have in
vented the flying machine, also the
sewing machine, the harvester, wire
less telegraphy, the telephone, the
submarine and the X-ray. Yes, even
newspapers might be criticized in the
same way.
But this fatheriess, anonymous edi-
toriai does not stop with the making
OF general derogatory remarks, but
goes further and makes deliberate
misstatements, deliberate lies. For
example, there appears this state
ment:
"When the French mission and the
English mission came here only De-
mocrats were invited to meet and
consult with them, What traVesty!
u II were rot tragic Il would be
comic"
How any reputable newspaper can
honestly publish such q statement as
the foregoing / cannot understand. Es-
pecially when French and British rep
resentatives were in the United States
such a short time ago that the facts
of the visit are fresh in the minds OF
the general public. And the general
public knows that the press state
ments were to the effect that General
Wood "a Republican, headed the re-
ception party, and that but few mo-
ments after the meeting General
Wood was in deep consultation with
the members Of the English party.
And this fatherless, anonymous edito-
rial admits and proclaims that Gen.
eral Wood Is q Republican.
Can you beat that for being vicious?
Or was the editorial written by some
ignoramus who did not know any bet
ter?

THAT ANONYMOUS EDITORIAL

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: was somewhat surprised to
see the anonymous editorial that ap-
peared In the Star-Bulletin Of Satur.
day. June 9. The editorial I refer to
Conducting a Party War; After
reading this editorial, not only was I
surprised, but was also somewhat
disappointed In the Star-Bulletin; for
I had an idea that the Star Bulletin
was above printing matter of the ma
ture Of this anonymoTs editorial. And
I still cannot believe that 1t states the
true views and ideas OF the editor of
the Star-Bulletin.
Note: The editorial referred to
was quoted from a Boston paper
Editor.l
Neither can I understand the intro
ductory note to the editorial, wherein
It is stated that This editorial 10 a
vigorous presentation" Of the critL
cisms against the policy Of the admin.
istration. For If this is an able edi-
torial," then editorial writing has de-
generated within the last few days to
to analysis and logic.
If, however, l am wrong, and this
fatherless, anonymous screed does
present the views and opinions Of the
Star-Bulletin, suggest that the Star
Bulletin follow this editorial with
others that deal in something other
than generalitfes. For example: If
the course Of President Wilson, in re-
fusing to allow Roosevelt to take q
volunteer army to France, was wrong
in place of merely alleging that the
President was wrong, to take up the
reasons given by the President for his
action-take them up one by one and
analyze them and point out wherein
the President was In error.
Also. would it not be a good idea
for the Star-Bulletin to publish an edi-
torial giving historical sketch Of the
volunteer regiments Of the nature
Roosevelt contemplated taking to
France. that were organized at the
commencement of the Civil War
As to what the anonymous editorial
says Of Baker and Daniels-it Is Of
the same nature as the attack on the
President. It is merely proclaimed
that both are, incompetent So, here
again is beautiful opportunity for
the Star-Bulletin to go into details.
To take up the work done by Daniels
while he has been head of the navy.
and to compare it with the work done

this month more than a billion dollars will have
been loaned to our Allies 1t is expected that $780,

Members Of the Italian commission who have con

mitments OF the Italian government in this country
and when this data is in hand it will be used in de-
signing plan to meet Italy's need for several
months
British and French needs have been outlined def

10 these governments at rate of approximately
$250,0O0,000 to $300,OOO,OOO month. Russia has
not yet drawn against the 500 credit estab
shed for her here and it is thought that this sum
