MISREPRESENTATION

The story of the county bill which
was told in last nights Star throws
ray of light upon the methods of the
last Legislature. The Governor has
been charged with pocketing the preci-
Gus document because he was unwil-
ling to decentralize the government.
The true facts of the case are that no
man who had any ability, and read the
documents that he had to sign, care
fully, could have signed this effusion,
and the cream of the joke is that the
members of the House of Representa-
tives knew that the bill was defective.
that they sent it to the Senate in a de-
fecive condition, hoping that the Sen
ate would make the necessary amend
ments. But the Home Rule majority
in the Senate would not hear of
amendments, and ran the bill through
as it was, thus putting upon the Gov
ernor the duty of not signing a law
which was utterly defective in some
articles, and which conld not legally
be carried out.
This is certainly a curious comment
upon the Home Rule methods What
is more curious is that this very bill
whose failure to pass is due entirely
to the Home Rulers is charged up
against the Governor as one of his
crimes in striving to repress Ameri-
caniSm. If AmeriCanism is to be
twisted into the passing of bills that
cannot hold water in the law courts,
it is a very different kind of Ameri-
Canism than was inculcated at North
western University by the professors
of history and social science 1t is a
very different kind of Americanism
to be found in Cook county in prac-
tical use, and in fact it is an American
ism which cannot be found from one
end of the mainland to the other
The history of how, after the first
draft of the bin was amended, the
House set to work upon the amending
and rectifying the mass of verbiage
and ungrammatical twaddle of the
residue, is very interesting. 1t was not
the Home Rulers who put in their time
getting the unshapable into some kind
of legislative shape, or clothing the
naked limbs in some semblance of
decency. 1t was left to the Republi.
can members to do this work And il
was through the efforts of Republican
members that the bill was finally
pushed through the House.
How the whole of this incident has
been misrepresented, how an effort
was being made to misrepresent it tC
the President, is in the minds of any
one who is conversant with current
events. Fortunately the truth was
easy to Law hand upon, and with very
little trouble the true story of the
county bill was able to be told. II
sweeps away a mass of frothy rubbish
which has been talked at every street
corner, and it shows how sincere the
Republican members have been, while
it fails to display the Home Rulers
with the exception of Emme1uth and
Makekau in very favorable light.

and read and believed in those days.
Some magazine writer may some day
dig up few of these choice speci-
mems. They are to be found in Boston
and in the Congressional Library, and
probably in many other places.
1t is ever thus. AS soon as a strong
position is won the camp followers
rush in and 40 all the looting they can.
Hawaii is today suffering from a pie
thoria of camp followers, who are will
ling to lay their hands upon anything
that they can carry off.
The attitude of the Hawaiian is by
no means inexplicable The Hawaiian
never did see nor was he likely to be
able to see and realize the weakness
of his position as an Independent
state. That he should resent losing his
independence, because not realizing
| that he had gained independence of a
| far higher and more permanent char
acter under the stars and stripes, is
not to be wondered at. The reaction
has thrown him into the hands of de-
signing men who have been using him
/ for their own purposes.
/ But the time will come when the
hawaiian will know his true friends
from his false friends, when he will
see that it is only the greed of gain
and of political influence to be used.
not for his advantage. but for the ad-
vantage of a horde of hungry Office
seekers from the mainland that actu-
ates the man who is now posing as his
friend. Even now one begins to see
the turning point. 1t is coming almost
sooner than was to be expected. The
malahini is beginning to be distrusted
and the kamaaina is regaining the
confidence which he has never betray.

THE TRUE GOAL.

There are, at the present time, an
tagonistic forces working and setting
in our little BODY polite The one is
nj striving by every means that it can
compass, by abuse, by misrepresenta-
ton, by trucking here, by hectoring
there, to oVerturn the conservative
element and let in Cn era of spoils and
carpetbagsm. the other simply waits
attack, pushes it aside and defends the
best interests of the Territory and of
the native Hawaiians. AS time goes
on the native Hawaiian who has been
misled will realize who are really his
friends, and he will give his false
friends and deluders such kick that
they will probably never recover from
IL.
1t is a serious condition of affairs
which strives to down us un-American
the very men who have made Ameri-
canism possible in these Islands. The
very men who are now shouting that
there are un-American principles
about Dole and Cooper are men who
would have accepted the condition of
things in the seventies and eighties
without a murmur, and would have
been willing to perpetuate the toy
monarchy as long as they could get
contracts and money out of it.
Fortunately for Hawaii there were
men who were willing to take respon-
sibility in guiding her affairs, and who
guided her into the safe harbor which
she now has gained Hawaii, left to
herself, was a derelict upon the wa
tiers. She could have been snapped up
by anyone powerful enough to snap.
She came very nearly being Asiati-
cised, and this with the consent of her
own native rulers. The whole of that
intrigue has never been made public,
but undoubtedly some day it will be
pieced together and made into a CO.
herent story. Part of it will be found
here, part of it must be sought in
Japan.
The responsibility was taken, and
after years of work, after much disap-
pointment, after long waiting, which
maketh the heart sick, the end was
finally reached. No one did more to
bring about this happy solution Of
series of momenLous events, as far as
the Territory is concerned, than Gov
ernor Dole. In his work he strove for
true Americanlsm and he did his ut
most to protect the native Hawaiian.
Yet this is the man who Is constantly
RSSatleQ by uninIormed or mlSlnIorm-
ed writer's as un-American on the one
hand, and as striving to curtail and in
iure the political rights of the native
Hawaiians on the other.
There Is a peculiar irony Of fate In
this position, but it is by no means an
uncommon one In history. The man
who successfully leads a measure Of
reform, or who remodels state, great
or small, is bound to have lot Of yap-
ping ours at his heels, the noise Of
whose yelping and ki-yling browns for
time the sage advice which might
otherwise be listened to. II anyone
will turn to the newspaper files Of the
early days of the Republic there will
be found aspersions and abuse heaped
upon Washington, which seem unbe-
llevable now, but which were written

DOES HIS OWN THINKING.

Representative Emmeluth wrote a
manly letter to The star last evening
Mr. Emmeluth resents as an aspersion
upon his manhood that any one should
be regarded as having influenced or
guided his thoughts. Mr.. Emmeluth
says he does his own thinking and
has done so for the past fifteen years.
To insinuate that any one prompted
Mr.. Emmeluth in his open letter is "to
detract from his ability" to think for
himself and Ito rob- him "of the hon
est expression of mind or heart,
whether by voice or pen"
One feels, after reading this mo-
ing exordium, ready to repeat Ham
let's Peace, Peace, perturbed spirit"
or to think of Othello's "who steals
my purse steals trash" However.
The Star has really done Mr.. Emme-
luth great service. 1t has settled
once and for all, that Mr.. Emmeluth
does his own thinking. This must be
satisfactory to every one who reads
what Mr.. Emmeluth writes, or who
listens to what Mr.. Emmeluth says.
Even when sentences are obscure as
the following taken from his letter:
1T was for the double purpose of
placing the Party above the personal
record possibly made by it's represen-
tatives and the imputation of a peace
at any price policy which prompted
them to overlook the prediction rec
ord of certain Senators when organ
iZing the legislature might suggest
that the open letter was written"
One feels satisfied and happy in the
knowledge that Mr.. Emmeluth was
doing his own thinking. What it was
that might be suggested" no one can
readily tell but Mr.. Emmeluth can.
and has done, he himself thought it
out, he knows, let the rest of the COM
munity bow in silent awe. No one
need try to help him in this thought
But truce u joking, though one
cannot help smiling because Mr.. EN-
meluth is so thoroughly serious, that
he cannot see the humor of his own
position. The Star said Mr.. Emme-
luth wrote manly letter, and he has,
though a humorous one. At the end
of his letter Representative Emme-
luth states that he has located $4,000
of bride money, out of $65,000 alleged
to have been used to defeat the Dis
pensary bill. If Mr.. Emmeluth has
done this and brings the parties who
bribed and were bribed to conviction
he will have done a service to the
Territory Of incalculable benefit, and
he will find every right thinking citi
zen firmly behind him.

If the report that there is another
case of smallpox on Kauai is true,
great care should be taken by the
Board of Health, at present consisting
of e. p. Dole and DR.. Cooper to see
that their agent on the island is segre-
eating the people who have been in
contact with the patient, and that all
clothing, ETC., is properly fumigated.
There is no reason to fear an epidemic
of smallpox If ordinary care be taken.
Smallpox is no longer the dreaded
disease 1t was half century ago even,
thanks to the spread of vaccination,
and to better methods employed in
dealing with It.

The health of the Governor has
been far from good for some time
past. Mr.. Dole has been greatly over
worked, and it is surprising that a
man of his age should have stood the
strain so long. But Mr. Dole has
great recuperative power, and a
months rest will undoubtedly set him
up thoroughly in health. The Cover
nor has the good wishes of all for a
speedy restoration of his old vigor.

Insanitary barber shops are much
to be deprecate4, and the Board of
Health might very properly make a
raid upon these establishments. Mrs.
Thompson, of the kindergartens, is to
be commended for bringing the mat
ter to public notice. There are other
matters connected with the Japanese
barber shops which need looking after.

OUR SMALL ARMY
SAYS GERMANY, IS NOT WORTH

BECAUSE IT WILL NOT RAID.
Warning Words BY Berlin Paper
Says the Government Will Not
Let UP.

Berlin. Feb 20.-The correspondent of
the object of the recent conference which
United States Ambassador White had
with Secretary of Foreign Affairs Baron
Won Richthofen, was the prevention OF
petty seizures of territories and the OBJ
tanning Of special privileges in China by
separate powers. The United States is
seeking Germanys support for joint ac
ton on the part of the powers in order
to obtain what is needed for the proper
security of their diplomatic and CONNER
cial interests. 1t is believed the United
States and Germany are in full accord
on this subject.
The German foreign office says Field
Marshal Count Won Waldersee's expe-
duion is to be confined to the province
of Pechii. unless the obduracy of the
Chinese government makes an extension
to Sian Flu of the military movement
necessary. The expedition is intended
TO bring about the full acceptance of
the demands made through the ministers
of the powers at Pekin. The Chinese
peace commissioners Immediately tele-
graphed news of the projected military
movement to Sian Flu and the latest
reports indicate that the steps are to this
effect. 1t is supposed at the foreign office
that the expedition is not a German
movement but is in the common inter-
ests of the powers, and is unanimously
sanctioned by the foreign ministers. in
Guiding Mr.. Conger.
The F'rankfurter Zeitung says an enxe-
dltlon into the interior would be unwise
and calculated to open the eyes of the
credulous concerning the risk Germany
runs in avenging the murder of Baron
Won Ketteler. The paper expresses dis
trust of Germany's treatment of the
matter since What guarantee have we
that the government which used the OPP
portuntiy of the murder of two missiona-
ries for Selling territory of a friendly
power in time of peace. will not find an
occasion is the murder of minister for
further seizures
The Lokal Anzeiger commenting upon
the report that the United States objects
to the expedition says:
The United States is merely pursuing
purposeless and i'll timed intrigues which
make a specially unpleasant impression
in view of the diminutve force Of the
United States in China"
