BILL CARLISLE
 TRAIN ROBbER DISPLAYED NERVE
All of His Robberies Called For Daring-Was Not a
 Killer"

Rawlins, Wyo., Dec. S.-The Union isle, who held up the passengers of the Los Angeles limited on it's way through Wyoming on Tuesday, No- vember IS, betTays a rare contradic- ton in character.
 Armed with a revolver a~d facing a car full of passengers or twisting and turning to elude .,the sherifs posse, he became a daring criminal In prison, he knitted sweaters for soldiers and bought Liberty Bonds with the money he earned from man ufacturing small articles for sale.
 His boldness has startled and alarmed not only the passengers he robbed but the authorities who have endeaVored to apprehend him. Even while troops were hunting for him he entered a telegraph office to send 8 message to the Union Pacific of fcials thanking them for the Icon tributions' he had collected from the passengers on the last train he rob- bed. It is said that he even entered a newspaper office, asked for news about the search for himself, read the despatches and vanished.
 One of his peculiarities is to an
 
 that q am not robbing women, chil- dEen, old men. soldiers or sailors" but he went through the rocke ts of all other passengers. without com junction.
 Carlisle was sentenced to prison here on May Il, 1916, after a spec tacular career in the previous winter in which he robbed several Union Pacific trains.
 He was taken prisoner in April, 1916, the day after he had held up a Union Pacific train near Hanna Two days later he was convicted.
 He told his captors, q am not a killer" It is said that from his hid ing place in the brush he might have slain many of the posse to which he surrendered. so model was his conduct in prison that his sentence was commuted from life imprisonment to 25 to 50 years He is less than 30 years old and his happy smiling, boyjSh face, is in sharp contradiction with his record as a bandit.
 He worked in prison as book keeper and often boasted that he could escape whenever he wished. He disa ppeared from that institution in a box of shirts which was being ship ped by tram rom TalIrOaQ StauOn nearby.
 While posses were searching for him. he apparently boarded a Los Angeles limited at Rock River and when the train had again moved on entered the tourist sleeper through a window and robbed the passengers in his usual spectacular fashion. This completed he pulled the cord and as the train s4owed down, leap ed from the platform, rolled down an embankment and essaped, although the train guard and passengers shot at him several times.
 The following night Carlisle entered ! 6 newspaper office at Casper and asked for news ol the robbery. Hav- ing read the despatches, he smile d ] and walked away. The next day he is reported to have entered a telegraph office and sent the message of thanks to Union Pacific officials.

MAKING FUTURE LEADERS

= The weekly News Letter of the department of agriculture, under
the above heading, says
Democracy that is funcioning to its fullest extent needs many
citizens, both men and women, who are able to assume leadership. Two
million boys and girls through their clubs under the direction of the
Department of Agriculture and the State agricultural colleges are learn
ing to be future leaders in their communities"
The adage that children should be seen and not heard is slowly Civ
ing way TO a more rational idea based on the fact that the children of
today will be the men and women of tomorrow, and that it needs more
than a drill in the three Rs to properly fit them for this responsibility.
Under the old system of education pupils of our schools were generally
sent out into the world, awkward, self-conscious and with no training
whatever along lines of selfexpression or leadership.
When children have the duty of citizenship impressed upon them
from the start, and are given constant and concrete practice in the eXer-
else of such duty, we may hope to see the grip of the professional poll
tcian loosened and the will of the people find a truer and more direct
expression than it has had in the past.
The United States has made great strides in the past half-century
in improving its democracy. By proper training of our children we
shall insure still greater progress in the future.

4 REASON AGAINST REAPPORT1ONMENT

Honolulu IS demanding a reappOrtionment of the legislative repre-
sentahon for the reason that such reapportonment would give her
absolute control Of the legislature. The rest of the Islands object largely
because they have no reason to wish to be run as Honolulu is run.
Read the following latest example of Craftsmanship on the part
of the Honolulu municipal administration as dvulged by the Star-Bul-
letin, and see if you blame them:
"a DISGUSTING SPECTACLE
The spectacle of the mayor and the board of supervisors sponsor
ing rival New Years celebrations is an amazing thing.
Zone expects such antics from children but to see our city fathers.
full grown adults who pose as councillors, advisers, legislators and
executives, giving free rein to such petty jealousy is so ludicrOus that
1t would be Laughabe were it not for the situation it reveals.
IF Honolulu is to grow and progress and develop there must be
harmony, cooperation and mutual understanding among our city de-
partments and governing heads. Petty chickering's and facional strife
vii. lead nowhere, while Honolulu will stay clogged in the rut.
Nho among the public cares a whit whether the New Years
festivities are staged by the mayor or the supervisors. as long as the
opportunity is offered for enjoyment?
But just because the mayor was not early enough with his an
nouncement of his annual ball" a certain element in the board saw fit
to steal some Of his thunder.
Those who were present at the board meeting last night and heard
me petty Wranghng, all having to do with tonights entertainment, and
whether the Hawaiian band would play at the mayors ball or at the
SUPERVISORS entertainment at the capitol would have been led to believe
n was attending a chndrens matinee party. 1t resembled a kids base
bal game with each side fighting about their innings.
Imagine men clothed with the weghy responsibility of administer
ing municipal affairs, STOPPING to such childish tactics!
lhey even went so far as to quarrel as to who has priority rights
on the Hawaiian band. The supervisors claimed the right because it
Is the board who pays the musicians salaries. The mayor insisted the
preoga1ye was his by virtue of his position as mayor.
And the upshOt of this barrage of 1recriminaion and invecive was
that the band was ordered by vote OF the board to play at the supervis-
os entertainment while the mayor was left out in the cold.
And now comes the city attorneys office today with Instructions
10 Bandnaster Baker to disregard the boards vote and place himself
at the orders of the mayor.
"Mhat a disgusting rumpus over such a trivial matter.
Inc stubbornness exhibited on both sides has made the city govern
ment the laughing stock of the community.
And II stubbornness and petty jealousy are not at the bottom of
the affair, the only other conjecture is that someone is trying to make
political capital out of the occasion.
But whether one or the other, it is time to call = half to such
proceedings. Honolulu is too big to be put in the Cav" class bv such
Puny and puerIe actions o to be ruled by misfts.

PRESUMING ON HOSPITALITY

Men eXpatriate themselves from their native lands for two princi-
pa reasons: first, because it has ceased to be healthy or comfortable to
remain at home; or second, because the foreign land is more desirable
Tor one OF several reasons as a place of abode.
The man who stays away from home because of the first reason
and still maintains his native allegiance, may do so because the country
81 his adoption doesn't desire closer relations. But the other kind
the man who lives in a country not his own and can. but will not assume
ms share OF responsibility as a citizen of the new country has also
more than likely, a yellow Streak in him somewhere. He is 2 snonge
that absorbs but has to be squeezed to give.
1t IS nothing to be proud of that one has lived for years in the
United States, enjoying the privileges and projections of her laws, and
still remains an alien.
The American people have been very lenient with this class in the
past, but indications are that they will have less patience in the future
Ihey have witnessed too many obviously double slackers in the past
tour years among this type-men who have carefully saved their hides
and fortunes by hiding in this country, and as carefully evaded military
duty under the Stars and Stripes on ground of their aienship.
Many Of this stripe have been most vorferous mouth FIGHTERS
They have generally salved their ConsCienCes with Red Cross r other
war relief donations, and at the same time thus avoided the open indig-
nation OF their neghbors. But in most instances these contributions
would be but a pntance compared to what they would have been COM
PEELED to cough up in their hard-pressed native lands.
Public opinion will not deal lightly with this class of parasite in
the future, even though laws may not discriminate against them. 1t
is entirely probable than many of them will make a beated effort to
become naturaized in order to avoid this popular scorn.
The question therefore that should play an important part in all
future naturalization proceedings should be-"Why did you not apply
before?'

MASTERING OUT THE GUARDSMEN

Thirty-six hundred national guardsmen will be back in civil life
within the next six weeks. 1t is possible that all that this involves has
been thought out. Then again it is possible that no one has thought
seriously of it at all.
The matter is important because Hawaii needs the services of these
men and no effort should be spared to get them congeniany occupied
again. That this may not be easy is suggested by reports that many of
the men at Schoheld like the life of soldering with its lack of responsible
iy, good clothes, good food, and $50 a month in cash.

Congressman Dooltles resolution to have the United States and
Allies send an army across Germany and quarter it in Berlin for a
while, is a good one. If it went against the Hun grain a little, the slim
ulaion might do good. In any event it could do no harm and would
certainly impress on the masses of the German people, what they do
not now apparently realize, that they have been licked.
