quaIifedly the election Of Mr. !. O.

The tribute paid by the practical
journalist TO the practical thinker is
something better than the pancgyric Of

nearly lifelong obligation The fear
less rectitudc Of J. O. Carter was an
example to the early year, OF Mr.
Maciarlane that has never been Tor
gotten. II has at last borne fruit in
one Of the most convincingly logical
culogics that Honolulan journalism has
ever produced We bear willing testi-
mony TO the value Of Mr. Macfarlanc's
recent service to the cause OF good
government We acknowledge also
that Mr. Macfarlane's advocacy Of Mr.
Carter has greater possibilities for good

possibly have. Those journals which
circumstances have forced into an atti
tude of hostile criticism OF both king
and cabinet are in no position at
present to reason convincingly with the
powers that be- Mr. Macfarlane is in
such a position. If the administration
has been unjustiy assailed, it can have
no better assurance that its innocence
shall be established than the return OF
so eminently fair a man as J. O Carter
to the floor of what Is destined to be

The second of two open letters
printed in last weeks Press deserves
more than passing consideration by
thoughtful men. 1t is perhaps more
suggestive than explicit But it was
manlfcstly written to make people
think 1t will be a better day for these
islands when rs people think more
earnestly and investigate more patiently.
There is much that is unsound in our
political system. 1t may be that neither
newspapers nor legislators are suffi-
ciently explicit in pointing out the evils
of our government in either theory or
practice. But if there have been few alb
solutely fawless indictments of the NAL
administration that now prevails, it is
simply foolish to deny that it exists and
to rest content in the purblind security Of
condition variously characterized as
"well enough, "not so bad as il might
be, the usual thing" ono worse than
another lot, etc. Eternal vigilance :"
is the price not only Of "liberty," but
of good government, of most business
triumphs and Of success IN life gener-
ally If we talked and wrote less of
the filthy pool OF politics and more
OF the absolute necessity of politics to
the perpetuity of free institutions we
should have purer politics and, con
sequentlN better government The
accident OF sending a fluent rogue to
the legislature may result in the eleva-
ton OF that rogue to a place in the
cabinet councils, or to an important
post in the civil service. The right
organization Of political parties neces-
states the formulation of principles.
1t is not enough for the needs OF re
form that a majority of electors return
certain candidates to the Legislature.
Definite measures Of reform are
essential to harmonious action among
reiormers. 1t is not enough that a
member appreciates the needs OF a
thorough sewerage system for Homo
lulu, that another has planned a feast
bic scheme for the extension of needed
government roads on Hawaii, that a
third has matured a plan for govern
mental control Of telephones, that a
fourth has so worked out the details of
Our coinage complications that he sees
the way clear for gold resumption, or
that several other equally astute and
patriotic rciormers have matuted
measures Of public benefit which ap-
pear Ito themselves, and even to their
constituents) absolutely ilawless. There
must be, at least, tacit understanding
among the majority of electors that
they give their suffrage to men whom
they believe will carry out a we'll
digested plan Of public Improvement or
of public rotrcnchment AS seems most
vital.

1t Is one of the unfortunate con-
ditlons of misgovernment that il acts as
an irrtant upon the public stomach,
preventing, for the nonce, the thorough
digestion of reform measures. This
irrltated condition is most apparent on
the eve of an election The tonic of
victory, or the cold douche of defeat
may hasten the return of the calm,
reasoning spirit which must dominate
all reform that has within itself the ele-
ments of permanence. 1t is addition
ally unfortunate at the present juncture
IN Hawaiian affairs that the voting
population is so divided by differences

dlspassonately discuss the same old

Of the Advertiser, it ought to be re-

able person to represent him. 1t goes
without saying that he can be held re-
sponslble only for the general trend OF
the Advertisers policy and not for its
dips, spurs and angles-incident to,
and matter OF course from, the tenn
porary conditions under which the Ad-
vcrtser is owned. The public has had
sufficient light in three or four editor

Samuel Sage, late of West Norfolk, after attending the burial of his father in-law, Jacob B. Cobb, in Windsor, on Tuesday, returned to his Canton home. On the morning of Thanksgiving day he butchered his hog and hung it up. Soon afterward, with his bloody overalls on, he went into his stable, and the smell of blood made his horse frantic, and he knocked Mir Sage down, and shockingly mangled his head. He was dragged away from the horse entirely uncon- scious, and remained so until his death last Sunday morning. Burial probably ln Colebrook.
