BRYAN
Still HAS HOPES
Returns From Washington With
Belief That His Chances For Be-
coming Governor Are Bright"

Professor William A.. Bryan Of the
College of Hawaii, one.pf those in the
race for appointment as Governor, re-
turned from the mainland yesterday.
He said he was in Washington just
before he left for the Pacific Coast
and that the political situation as far
as the appointment of Governor for
Hawaii is concerned "remains un-
changed.
Just before he left Washington Pro
fessor Bryan said he had had "sat-
isfactory interview" with Secretary of
the Interior Lane. He, intimated that
he believed after interviewing mem
bers of the cabinet and members of
the house and senate that his chances
Of receiving the appointment are
bright.
Professor Bryan said that all the
departments at the national capitol
are working at top speed with war
measures and he expressed the view
that the delay in making appointments
here, both that of Governor and for
the vacancy in the supreme court, is
due to the great press of important
work with which the President is en-
gagged.
Professor Bryan left Honolulu last
July on sabbaticaI leave. He took with
him a collection of Hawaiian moTlusks
to the Philadelphia Academy Of NatuS
raj Science and in work done there
with DR.. Henry A. Pilsbry discovered
more than a hundred distinct new
species.
In the course of his trip he delivered
a number of addresses before scientific
bodies in various cities. Among others
he spoke before the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Sci
ence at Pittsburgh, the American Geo
logical Society at st. Louis aud be-
fore the West Coast Naturalists in
San Francisco.
While away he also had the oppor-
tunity to visit his home in Iowa and
his alma mater, the Iowa State Col
lege, at Ames, Iowa. With Mrs. Bryan
ha also visited her home at Buffalo,
New York.

DEMAND FOR PASSES
CONTINUES GREAT
With Three Thousand Already Is
sued the End Is Not In Sight; 4
1 Cooperation Asked @ ,

Weary with extra work from issuing
nearly 5000 passes to the waterfront,
Capt. William Foster, harbormaster, de-
clares he is satisfied that he has not
yet seen the end of this duty which fell
to him when the harbor commissioners
decided to make the approaches to all
territorial wharves restricted territory.
1t has been a fun weeks work for
Captain Foster, as the guard was first
established last Monday morning. At
the end Of the first six days he says he
has only one request to make Of the
public" cooperation.
"The guarding of the waterfront is
for the public safety and I would like
to ask that everyone cooperate in every
manner possible, he explains.
Captain Foster says that as rule the
public has been very indulgent of the
new restrictions put upon its liberty
and has given the guards very little
trouble in enforcing the rules. How.
ever, he asserts, there are few who have
been troublesome t.But there always
are, be pessimistically adds. y M
Norman Watkins, member Of the har-
Dor commission, believes that with the
addition of the military guard 1t will
now be possible to reduce the number
of men acting as territorial guards.
How many he has not yet estimated.
"But there will have to be quite q
number of the private guards retained
as the military authorities will insist
on Identification being made through
these guards at all entrances to
wharves," he says.

Universal Service

III HEN a. Chicago audience which has gather
Wv ed to hear Billy Sunday indorses universal
military service in resolution to be sent to Hi
nois members OF congress, symptom Of changing
sentiment Is revealed
Sunday is fighting evangelist and with his
emotional control over his auditors is powerful
factor in shaping sentiment but he could not
get cheers for universal service out of people who
were afraid of the very name of the thing
We believe that there is more nationality in the
public mind on this subject than there is in pol
tics. The people we are certain have disposed of
great deal of altruistc rhetoric and realize that
the United States is to fight in this war because
the security of the United States is involved in
the war
They also realize that we said in April that we
were at war and that in January we not fight
ing because have nothing with which to fight.
They must realize that extraordinarily fortunate
conditions permit nearly years delay and that
conditions may not be extraordinarily fortunate
again. They may be importunate, cruel, desper-
ate, and destructive.
y We believe that the people are hoping that this
thing will never happen again and that they realize
that the events which may force the use OF an
army are largely beyond the power Of any one
nation to control We believe that sentiment for
a good protective system is growing more rapidly
than congress thinks it is.
Here we are in scramble for defenses in the
fourth year OF a war which has warned us from
the start and which has claimed us as a belligerent
since April. The government which is trying to
fight the war asks the people to rest easy after
such an experience and take their chances again.
We do not believe they are willing to do it.

War Bread

n n incidental benefit from war may be the dis
n covery of wheat by Americans. Their knowl-
edge of this grain has been limited by experience
with flour which came from wheat. War regu-
iations will give them -four which is wheat
-four, a -four not derived from wheat but consist
ing of wheat
They have been told that the refining processes
which mers found necessary in satisfying public
demand produced -four which made les palat-
able loaf than the whole wheat loaf Their own
tastes denied that or ignored it, They have been
told that the refining resulted in loaf from which
wholesome qualities OF wheat eliminated.
That made no impression. They have been told
that there great deal of waste in the refining.
That made no impression. The American wanted
refined flour and white loaf and got it. Now
war necessity requires that more of the wheat be
kept in the flour and necessity may develop new
national habit.
1t is estimated that the new regulations for mill
ing will save 100000 bushels of the next crop
In addition it will make Americans acquainted
with good bread.--Chcago Tribune.

How's This For

AR HOOVER has declared that "prohteer-
AVA ing" is contrary to good morals and good

Right you are Mr.. Hoover! You have big
job on Your hands. There are plenty of obstacles
in your path and many to find fault. Hawaii IS
not going to join in any coyote howl because you
have pulled the soft stop on the price of sugar
but it does leave rather taste in our mouths
when we read in the papers that steamship COM
pany is paying over 400 percent per annum in
dividends on a FIVE million dollar capital, besides
ping up sixteen million dollar cash surplus.
1 1t is the American public that is paying this
tribute If it is not "profteering" what is it:
A Mr. Hoovers attention is called to the 1917
statement OF American Hawaiian Steamship Co.,
as follows:
The Amer n Hawaiian Steamship Company has
just made to its stockholders special year end dis
bursement of 1925 a share. With the six other spe
eial dividends ranging from $50 to $50 and the reg
uar dividend of $l0 the American Hawaiian actually
paid out stockholders in 1917 total of $405
share.

DEMAND RAISE

WASHINGTON, Noov 26 -- What
takes on the aspect of a threatened
strike among the biggest men in the
treasury department developed today
when all six of the assistant secreta-
les of the treasury presented a de-
Inand upon the house committee on
appropriations for substantial in
creases in salaries, each demanding
$1,000 per year. They are now paiO
$4,000. They gave the same reasans
as were given by their chief, Secre.
tary McAdoo. in resigning his Office
that their pay is insufficient to meet
the increased cost of living.
Bureau heads and others holding
responsible executive government po-
silions are also asking increases in
salary. They declare that if these in
crcases are not allowed they will be
forced to seek better remuneration in
private life. Men in other depart
ments of the government are prepar-
ing to make similar demands.
