The Purchasing Agents Office.

Small wonder that the supervis"ra committee
finds that the purchasing agent office is u failure.
The purchasing agent Office or any other Office
is foredoomed TO failure under such scheme of
rank Encouragement as allowed the purchasing
agent to be dividing his time in the employ of one
of the corporations with which he az purchasing
agent was continually conducting public business.
In all the various shortcomings of the local gov
eminent there has been nothing more indicative of
ignorance of the ordinary principles of sound pub
lie business than the plain record of the purchas
ing agents dual service.
The office of purchasing agent properly and COM
petenty conducted should be of great service to the
taxpayers and the businessmen of the municipality.
It's status for the last few years has been than
joke because it lacked even dignity of character

Attention has been called by the department of
commerce to the excellent qualities of New South
Wales hardwoods for shipbuilding purposes. Some
of the most successful additions to Hawaiian for
estry have been hardwoods from that country. As
trees grow with amazing rapidity in Hawaii, there
Is no reason why the raising of valuable timber
should not become great source of public revenue
and private wealth here.

granted by the department OF com.
merce in March.
Influential Russian socialist lead
ers were authority today for the dec
laration that one of the impelling
motives behind the call for Stock
holm conference was to GUST German
socialists from the international
party unless they subscribe to the
doctrine that kaiserism must go.
This revelation came in response
to widespread messages from social
lists in other nations, warning Rus
sian comrades against German
peace plot" in Stockholm. The plot,
it was declared, was cooked up so
that German socialists of new type
who supported Germany's autocratic
system of government and who had
been carefully "handpickedP by the
kaiser's governm ent, would seek to
dominate the Stockholm meetings
and turn them to Germany's atten-
ton.
Russia's call of all nations for a
real conference at Stockholm at a
later date than that set by the Ger
mans, will develop the issue of kais-
erism versus socialism. Russia
socialist leaders declare they realized
fully that the international type af
German socialists is not represented
at Stockholm. Instead the German
government has granted passports
only to that type on which 1t believes
it can depend for support. Socialists
of the type of Liebknecht, Ledebour
and Haase whose doctrines are
against absolutism and autocracy
have not been permitted to attend
because the German government
knows they are against kaiserism.

to convert the bond into cash will
give the owner time for thought and
reconsideration, and it is not improo-

suit will be that the savings invested
