ELECTION AND CHARTER.

One of the local papers which are
making themselves willing tools of the
Kaulia- a-Emmeluth conspiracy to gov
ern Honolulu for the sake of spoils
urges a plea which is strong only in
the revelation il makes of the weakness
!, of the municipal cause among the re-
sponsible citizens of Honolulu. 1t says:
The people of Honolulu and of the
entire Territory decided by their votes
at the polls on November 9Th that they
wanted municipal and county govern
ments established in Hawaii.
This is not true. especially so far as
Honolulu is concerned. At the late
election this city gave a Republican
majority and the Republicans were not
committed TO municipal government at
this time. Their municipal plank read !:
We favor the establishment of coun-
ty and municipal governments as soon
as practicable.
Every Republican who knows that
two and two make four does not need
to be told that this plank meant the
organization of county and municipal
rule when the taxpayers should get to
be the voting majority and not before.
A change of governmental methods is
never practicable" when it takes Of
ficial power from the responsible men
and vests it in the irresponsible classes
The platform-makers saw the futility of
coming out for county and municipal
governments as a measure of the i'm
mediate future. They knew If they did
so the Republican ticket of Honolulu
would have no show. So they straddIed
the issue and saved the day. Else
Ngh In, ~ T,t
municipal idea cut no particular figure.
The Wilcox natives being in a majority
voted on the color line and elected the
most or their ticket without reference
to what seemed to them an abstruse
problem in economics.
The most amusing part of our con-
temporary's article is to be found in
this paragraph:
Some one in discussing the subject at
the drill shed meeting Monday night
said that 1t should be left to a vote OF
the people whether or not they wanted
charter. Such talk indicates that the
speaker is incapable of reading the
signs Of the times. The matter has al
ready been left to a vote of the people
and they have decided by large ma
jority that they are in favor of munich
pal government. Mr.. George Carter
"hV was a lOi lhc oCldlc vi
the Republican ticket, said several
months before the election, that he was
not in favor of municipal government
and the result was that Mr.. Carter was
defeated by a heavy vote while the
other regular nominees on the ticket
with him were elected. Nothing could
be palmer than that Mr.. Carter's atti-
tude upon the municipal charter ques-
tion. to which his party was pledged
was the cause Of his defeat.
AS a matter Of fact Mr.. Carter was
elected and certain nominees who were
rabid for a premature charter got left.
The lowest vote In the election was
given to Democrats who had charter on
the brain; and the man who tried hard
est TO get in ahead of Carter at the
polls was a municipal enthusiast. It
may be that recognition of these
facts does not prove that one reads the
signs of the times Alright but il
shows that he is at least well up on
the election returns.

The question Of why tourists do not
flock to these Islands need not be
asked IL the steamship companies
would make lower rates. The rich
have their fashions in travel and of
late have been going to the West In

class people could always be depended
on to visit Hawaii If not scared off by
the cost OF getting here. and the rich
will come. as in the past. at their own
convenience. Put down the steamship

a happy New Yearl" How many
people realize the meaning OF the
words as they go about with this
familiar greeting upon their lips? 81
wish you happy New Yoar." Does
II not seem that the wish carries
blessing with It? And I believe It
does when spoken by friends whose
words are always true and sincere.
For the benefit OF those thoughtleas
ones who never read between the lines.
let us analyze this significant greeting.
In the first place we wish our friends
happiness, and the next question which
naturally suggests itself is, what con.
stitutes happiness? A little friend OF
mine tells me that II liB TO eat all the
candy he wants and not to go 10 bed
until he wants TO do So Another
friend OF more mature years says that
she would be perfectly happy II she
had all the money she wanted to spend
as she liked Another desires fame.
another social position. And so we
might 20 on asking and finding out
that almost every one has different
definition for happiness.
II the young lad were allowed TO
follow his own sweet will and surfelt
himself with sweets and late hours, |
think the result would be anything bu.
happy As for wealth. who can blame
anyone for wishing for ali that one
cares TO spend, and especially WON
an to whom separate income is the
exception rather than the rule II IL
the spending OF It which decides the
happiness or unhappiness OF the
possessor. / do not believe that any
one was ever really happy who used
wealth merely TO crafty selfish am
billions
Fame, too. Is good thing TO pos
sess, but how many who have gained
this high pinnacle will tell you that
1t brings happiness Social position is
also something after which there IS
much striving. Yet when the coveted
place is reached Il is so often found
to be barren. and happiness has no
resting place there. Social position
brings heavy responsibilities with It,
and social duties are hard and laborl-
GUS without the happy results that
follow labor In more worthy causes.
II seems, then, that there must be
some special way TO happiness not
easily found. There is. but It is easy
enough to be seen by all who care
TO follow its winding way. Wiser
heads than mine found out long ago
that only in trying 20 make Others
happy is real happiness ever gained
for oneself,
SO In wishing our friends happy
