The" only antidote for hard umcs is utra itork: liugti Chalmers. r: : niCOXmACIEIIENT FOR REPUBLICANS. The wpll-known ability of politicians to do finythimrK-witi election furores Trill come in Land v for the Democrats in trvinir' to '-Drove that Dedtcracy has won victories in the "state c!ections?oT yesterday. - - ' The elections, so far as rejwrts which have reached here show, carry much encouragement for the Republican party.. The defeat o Goy; ernor Walsh, Democrat, in Massachusetts, and the victory of his Republican opponent; Samuel W. McCall,-is significant. Governor Walsh has been popularly supposed to possess tremend ous hold on the voters of Massachusetts and lersonally is an able man. . So is McCall and the people have preferred a Republican. The election of Democrats in Maryland and Ken tucky was to be expected, as -both of these states are always likely to be found in the Bourbon column. In New York the victory of Tammany Hall will carry little hope for the administration Democrats, since : President Wilson and the New ork Democrats aligned with the administration are at best on' none: too-good terms with Tammany. .-:; :.:::, .: :. ' Democrats will of course claim that no na tional issues were at stake, and that these elec tions demonstrate ' nothing ", concerning the strength of President Wilson with the people. That remains to be seen. It is; true that bh the mainland there is great praise;for Mr. Wilson from mcmbcrs'of all parties and that he seems to possess the-confidence of-the country inva marked degree ; so;f ar as his foreign policy is concerned.. 1 -'v':v.-. ' One issue whicfi figured in the elections yes terday was made national by administration Democrats themseives the suffrage question. When the president a few. days before the New J ersey - election said that he - would : vote for suffrage immediately the 'Wilson - supporters and newspapers the country over said that the president 's attitude , undoubtedly, would be a marked factor in the state elections where the suffrage issue figured. They will derive little comfort from the fact. th ennoun cement New Jersey, New York,-Massa chusetu ami : Pennsylvania have- defeated woman suffrage overwhelmingly. ! K-: RIDICULOUS AimTRAGIO.i It is; both ridiculous and tragic to hear. ap parently intelligent delegates in the charter convention refer to the proposed superintend ent of pity works as the "city manager.1' : As a tnatter of fact, the kind of superintend ent ofcity works that will be secured under the chtrter that is being developed will, bear no more resemblance to a city- manager than a hawk does to a handsaw It is ridiculous for delegates solemnly to discuss the benefits this buperintendency will confer: upon Honolulu; it is tragic to think of the retrogression to ma: chine politics' and patronage government en couraged by this scheme. ' ; Admitted that the superintendent of city works -will have a large field of labor and re sponsibility of jurisdiction, from the very na ture of his position he will , be! handicapped. The whole theory of efficient; government as obtained through the citjmanagership is free dom from political strings. The manager is appointed by the city's legislative "body; he is responsible only, to them "and they !,place real power in his hands. The continuance of his job rets on the manager's producing results; anoVthe, continuance of the legislative body in office rests on the manager's producing re sults. Responsibility is centered; duties are concentrated ; the emphasis is placed not ' on pleasing .the political bosses but on pleasing the people .v '!'-: :.-; ' V;V' .The scheme proposed for Honolulu is fun damentally wrong because the superintendent of citylworks is to be elected By the people and must plunge into politics to win . bis -office. Once elected, be. will be ared up in the strings which during IthV campaign Von ,hinv votes. He must play politics to win and" the result is that he must play politics to stay in office. And right there efficiency will be shot to rags. Current political rumor has it that the entire Harry Murraj : fuf ray's infeistence oh ;. the plan gives the rumor color; furthermore, the scheme is constructed to fit exactly ihe Murray case. : ;i ' "r -j- 7. ; ' r ' , No matter jwhat Mr. Murray's abilities, any scneme of, government built1 around one per tonality has no place in a city charter. To put in a charter a provision designed ta furnish a job for any man or set of men is to degrade the charter. ? ,. .V;:'4." - ;jv'V-v-r. . - ;:: There are other j thoroughly bad ' provisions in the charter as it is being worked out. This is one of the worst" If in its '. final form the charter should prp'vnde for this new job; this new cog in a machine, this new opportunity for political explditafion of 'the cityy the voters of Honolulu will have one more sound reason for repudiating the work of the convention. ITALY'S SLO7;PR0GRESS. v Accustomed ; as .
