THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Ford cars are important servants everywhere.
They help the family enjoy life, bring the pleasures
and advantages of the town within reach of the
farmer and give practical service every day in country
and town. They require a minimum of attention;
any one can run the Ford and care for it, but it is
better to have repairs and replacements taken care of
by those who are familiar with the work and have the
tools,' the genuine materials and skilled men to do the
work promptly. We pledge Ford owners the reliable
Fcrd service with real Ford parts and standard Ford
prices.

LARGE SWORDFISH
CAUGHT IN KONA
A very largo swordfish was caught
off tho Kona coast near Napoopoo
last week and the huge finny one
when deposited on the wharf at
the Kona port attracted much at
tention. The "sword", which was
of enormous length, was taken from
tho fiBh and given to a representa
tive of a mainland magazine who
happened to be In tho district seek
ing adventure and material for his
journal. Heavy hauls of fish of
all kinds are reported to havo been
made along tho Kona coastline re
cently. Both with net and lino have
the fishermen lately gathered in
their harvest of the sea.

PORTABLE STILLS KEEP
ONE JUMP AHEAD
OF POLICE OFFICERS
Portablo stills aro all tho rago
now-a-days in certain districts of
this island. Tho "mash' is prepar
ed at a now locality every tlmo a
run of liquor is made and then the
apparatus Is moved to another lo
cation. Sheriff Pua has found ovidenco of
this kind of work and ho states that
It makes tho task of apprehondlng
tho. illicit liquor manufacturers far
moro difficult than formerly.
In tho past It was always tho
stream of booze issuing from some
district that nttracted tho nttcntion
of some spy who In turn Informed
tho police. Or else it was the fact
that drunken men wore observed In
some region that showed plainly
"oko" wpa being procured locally.
It usually did not take long to locate
tho still in these instances, but now
that tho booze factories aro disman
tled as soon as a run is made and
everything portablo moved to somo
other place It always happens that
when tho sleuths nrrlve at the spot
that they feel sure tho liquor was
made at, thero is no ovidenco to
that effect, although thero is a mor
al certainty that tho raw spirit had
been manufactured.

REVISION NEEDED IN
JAPAN'S DIPLOMATIC SYSTEM
(Nlppu Jijl)
It appears that a movement is on
foot among certain people in Hono
lulu to retain Consul General Yada
who was recently promoted to the
position of minister plenipotentiary
and onvoy extraordinary and assign
ed to the Japanese legation in Slam.
Tho transfer of Mr. Yada to Slam
is a loss not only to Japanese in Ha
waii but also to Hawaii.
Of all tho consul generals who
have been stationed in Hawaii there
is probably none who within a short
period of a year or so did more for
the promotion of understanding and
friendship between Americans and
Japanese than Consul Yada. Mr. Ya
da has gained a large circle of Am
erican friends here. He has won their
confidence. The Japanese problem in
the Pacific will become more nnd
more complicated, and a leader of
Mr. Yada's caliber Is imperatively
necessary in order to preserve har
mony among Americans and Japan
ese. ' v
However, this is a desiro express
ed from tho standpoint of Jnpaneso
in Hawaii. To Consul Yada, the trans
fer to Slam is an honor, and as. tho
Japaneso government needs htm in
that country, Japanese hero aro pow
erless to hold htm back.
Tho attontion of tho foreign offico
In Tokyo, howovor, should bo called
to tho necessity of immediate revis
ion in Japan's diplomatic organiza
tion. Members In the diplomatic ser
vice aro appointed to positions not in
accordance with their fitness or un
fitness in certain posts, but In accord
ance with their career. It Is true, that
in the case of ambassadors their fit
ness or unfitness In a certain country
is given consl'deratlon, but In tho
cases of consular representatives, no
consideration is given to the condi
tions of tho country to which they
aro assigned, tho government only
opening a way for tholr promotion.
This Is the case with Consul Gen
eral! Yada's transfer. Mr. Yada is well
qualified as a minister, and since he
should not bo kept long in the rank
of consul general, tho government
thought It might elevate him to tho
position of minister and appoint him
to the Slam legation. This may bo
unavoidable due to the peculiar dip
lomatic organization of Japan, but
as a practical policy it is not wlso
for tho government to tako Mr. Yada
from Hawaii when ho has acquaint
ed himself with tho conditions of
these Islands.
Hawaii occupies an important po
sition relative to the American-Japanese
relation. The consul general
here, in a certain sense, occupies a
higher position than that of an av
erage minister. Thero should bo in
Hawaii a consular representative
having 1 qualifications higher than
those of a minister. If consul gener
als who are capable can bo promoted
directly to ambassador or to similar
important positions without going
through the usual steps of promotion,
Hawaii will be able to retain consuls
who are well qualified for the posi
tion here.
The transfer of Consul General
Yada Is unavoidable. However fun
damental changes in tho diplomatic
organization in Japan should bo ef
fected. For, it will bo for the good
of not only Hawaii, but also for Jap
an's diplomatic service.
