All the four gentlemen who are cam
didates were patriotic enough TO agree
that the senatorial contest snail De
postponed until after the August elec-
lion. The peculiar situation hes
in the fact that a Legislature
which is to elect Il nIted
States Senator is to be chosen
without reference to its preference
for this office. 1t is safe to say
that this has never before occurred
in the history of the State. The Leg
islature will doubtless be composed
OF good men, but if left to follow their
personal preference might choose a
man for this great office who was not
acceptable to the people, and who did
not represent their views. This IS q.
matter of the greatest importance. as
everyone will acknowledge who thinks
of the great power for good or evil
welded by a Senator. Even those
who oppose the primary system as a
rule will acknowledge that here IS a
contingency in which some method
must be devised for making known
the choice of the people. Hon. +. NJ.
Simmons. Hon. Julian S. Carr, Hon.
A. NJ. Waddell and Hon. T. j. Jarvis
have all announced themselves in fav-
or of the primary system. But in
spite of this there is a movement
among certain class to defeat even
the senatorial primaries. This class
is not large, but its influence is pow
erful and seductive. II must be coun-
teracted.
WHERE Is \ BETTER PLAN?
The best answer to the opponents of
the senatorial primary, is TO ask them
to devise better system for regis
ter'ing the popular will.
All that is needed to secure the
adoption Of senatorial primaries oy
the State convention is TO call atten-
tion to the existing need, explain the
primary system and warn its friends
to be on their guard and insist on an
explicit declaration by the convention.
The limits of this article prevent
the discussion OF the workings of the
primary in other States; of the neces-
sity for State laws authorizing the
primaries and fixing fines and penal
ties for fraud: of the element of party
unity. and other questions relating
ITO the system, which may be discussed
at some future time.

TRADE WITH ORIENTAL GROWS

Washington, May 3.-Tnat our sales
to the Orient are rapidly growing is
shown by the latest export figures Of
re Bureau of Statistics. While there
has been a continued growth in our
exports during the past fiscal year, by
far the largest percentage of gain has
been in our trade with me Orient To
Europe, our exports during the eight
months ending with February, increas-
ed "a per cent, as compared with the
corresponding months of the preceding
fiscal year; to South America, 8 per
cent; to Asia, 3S per cent; to Oceanis,
81 per cent, or to Asia and Oceania
combined, A per cent; while to Africa
there was slight reduction, owing to
the disarrangement of commercial con-
ditions there by reason of hostilities.
Taking our exports as whole, it Is
found that the increase during the
eight months has been 8 per cent, while
the increase to Asia and Oceania has
been A per cent.
The Treasury Department has order
ed special agent to proceed to the Pa

two or three months ago the immigra-
ton of Japanese to the United States
was small. 1t has been increased so as
to excite suspicion that the men are
coming here as contract laborers. The
Treasury has also requested the State
Department to ask American consuls
to Investigate the matter and make re-
ports.

VOTERS SHOULD ACT NOW.

In view of the fact that certain ele-
ments in the local political field are at
their happiest when condemning Amer
lean politics as corrupt and parties as
organizations to be Stunned, it is not
strange that Hawaiian citizens unac-
quainted with the facts of American
government are disposed to play a
waiting game and hesitate to take up
political work on straight American
lines. Almost without exception those
charging American parties with being
hotbeds of corruption and machine
rule are prominent among theoretical
jobbers who sneer at patriotism and
can accept no opinions but their own.
Approaching that they cannot get
votes they condemn with great eclat
the foundation principles Of the nation
and the majority who support them
and upon whom the nation depenrs in
its hour of need.
Hawaiian citizens entering upon the
privileges and responsibility Of Ameri-
can citizenship have their future poll
tical fate in their own hands. They
have to decide whether they will accept
| the misleading say SO of pessimistic
theorizers or will Immediately exercise
their full rights, and boldly, honestly
and actively ally themselves with the
American parties and make their fight
for popular government upon Ameri-
can lines. Leaders represent the voice
of the majority. Citizens Of this Ter
ritory who are standing back, because
they do not know American politics,
while the parties or forming are merely
losing their best opportunity to shape
party principle and political action and
placing popular leaders at the front. BY
Withholding now, voters are playing
into the hands of men who
will lose no opportunity to re-
strict the franchise and force class
legislation upon the Territory. They
are also lessening their influence in the
counsels Of the national Congress, cast
ing their voting power to the winds
where their enemies would like to see
it go.
Mugwumps may howl as they please
that citizens of the Territory have
nothing to do with the national parties
or politics, the fact remains that the
citizens of Hawaii cannot reform or
improve national politics of the Ameri-
can people. II our people desire to
exert any influence for the furtherance
of the best interests Of The Territory
they must act through and with the
American parties formed on American
methods. Selfish interests of the Terri
tory, loyalty to the party that gave the
people manhood suffrage demand that
every voters Of this city shall attend
the primaries. and attending shall
vote for those men in whose broad
minded integrity the people from the
waterfront to Tantalus, Diamond Head
to BARRIERS Point, have confidence.
