At Trengganu MALAY Peninsula),
the native Sultan welcomed me, and /
spent several days with him, telling
him what was happening in the world
and discussing his problems. The
problems were largely financial. He
owed Some money. and. knowing that
he had something in the treasury, l
asked why he did not pay his debts.
He thought for a time and then re-
piled: We'll, I'll tell you. If pay

Sultan of Trengganu. If I don't pay
them they'll never forget me

Editorial Comment
May Wisdom Govern.

Gov Baxter, at the hands of his
efficient private secretary, Chad
bourne, an old time journalist of
wide experience is very open mind
ed as to affairs of State, very proper
ly thinking, as q servant of the peo-
pie, the people should know it all.
The great dailies which can handle
the matter. ought to be very APP
preoiative. As to the controversy over

Governor, and twice unanimously re-
jected by the Council Gas he tolera-
bly, will be as often as named), the
Governor says in the latest bulletins:
The relations of the Executive
Council with the Governor are cordial
and based on mutual confidence. and
the fact that there is a difference of
opinion on this nomination does not
effect these friendly relations and
does not lessen the respect each has
for the other. Without in any way
rejecting upon the Council, I hold to
my position that in Justice to the
public, to Mr. Davies and myself. the
reasons for declining to confirm this
nomination should be frankly stated
to the public. I desire it to be under
stood that in my best judgment Mr.
Davies should be the Chairman of
the Public Utilities Commission"
With this unfortunate difference
of opinion" seven to one. the one
insistent. the seven contrawise, The
News cannot, of course. properly
interfere, much as it would like to
admonish and counsel It so hap
pens that the Cumberland Councillor
is a resident of Brdgton. a very
eminent citizen. "Of lawful age and
well recommended" and he and his
six associates. representing the en-
tire State, duly elected. likewise have
opinions, and honest Judgment. and
responsibility, too. They are agreed
to man that the Governor is in
error, This renders it impossible
that Mr.. Davies can he confirmed.
hence it seems there should be COM

the Governor. his choice for a com

Councillors. are all resident of one
county and councillor district. while
the six other dissenters are scat

Harbor for Naval
Service Great Lakes

[. $. Naval Training Station, Great
Lakes. H., July l1--Thousands Of
Middle Western and Western boys
who trained for naval service her
during the war without ever seeing
naval vessel may come back next
year and find training ships and sub
marine chasers riding at anchor un'
der the high bluffs OF Lake Michigan
Work began this month on
1880 900 harbor which congress re-
Gently authorized for the training
station. When completed. late next
summer, the basin will provide room
for six or seven ships drawing % fee
TO ride at anchor.
A breakwater of rip-rap and con-
crete is being built to enclose an area
approximately a half mile long and
quarter mile wide, with an entrance
10 the southeast. sThe enclosed har'
Dor. besides affording an anchorage
on this unprotected shore for training
ships and chasers, will be used as
take-off basin for scaplanes OF the
aviation mechanics school and fol
small boat drill. Owing to the lack
of protection from the open lake the
seaplanes are now unable to fly ID
