The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1902-09-12

There seems to be every desire upon
the part of the Central Committee to
run a strong campaign, and yet to run
it carefully and economically. A cam
paign cannot be run without money,
but there is such a thing as being too
lavish with the funds entrusted to a
committee, as well as being too parsi-
monious. Work done for a party should
be well paid and even literally paid, for
it is work of a peculiar character and
does not last for any great length of
time, but confidence is gained and a
campaign fund is increased, when the
contributors know tiFat the fund raised
is used with foresight and upon busi-
ness principles, Men who know the
value of money like to see money well
expended.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1902-09-12

The Kohala Ditch matter was aired
in full yesterday before the committee
There are two parties who are after the
franchise. AS long as there was only
one party, there seemed to be neces-
sity to guard against giving away the
franchise at too small a return to the
territory, and therefore the matter re-
quired very carful consideration on the
part of those who granted the fran
chise, but the matter was very much
simplifed when there were two parties
in the field. OF course the rights of the
citizens around the water head, or
which would be affected by the water
head and by the new work would have
to be carefully protected, but that is
matter which it should be easy for the
law officers of the government to ar
range.
AS to who should have the franchise,
the most satisfactory way of deciding
is to put the privilege up at auction.
This has been the view of majority of
the members of the executive branch
of the government. If two or more

The dead set which is being made
against the commercial interests of the
islands just now before the Senatorial
Committee, will, of course, bring about
its reaction. Meantime there is moth
eng to be done but to wait till this
tirade is concluded, and then speak
calmly on the other side. The gentle
men who form the Senatorial Commit
tee are by no means fools. This is by
NO means the first time that they have
heard the thunders Of Incorporate and
abusive speech. one is amused, in
looking on, to see how now a question,
and then a question is put which brings
out a reply that shows the reason for
the Incorporate speech and the root of
the rancour. The gentlemen on the
Committee are seeking facts, and they
are certainly being supplied with am
pie material as to the causes which led
the rancorous takers to take up the
line they have done.
One of the most rancorous of these
witnesses poses as a friend of the
working man, as the lover of the Ha-
waiian, as his champion against the
aggressions of the men of all other
races, save himself. Yet a short time
ago when this bitter orator in his own
precinct ran for presidency of his pre-
cinct club, he was simply showed UNI
der, for his opponent, the Hon. Mark
Robinson, obtained one hundred and
Cix
precinct voter was in a very large ma
jority an Hawaiian vote, for there are
not twenty American and European
voters in the precinct. Moreover the
Hawaiians who voted were entirely UNI
controlled, they were not under the in
fuence of any corporation, or of any
government employee. They voted as
they thought right, and they turned
this would-be- champion down.
In considering statements of the
character which have been made by
this man, it is we'll to know how he
stands politically in his own precinct
He is utterly without influence in his
own precinct, never has had any in
fluence and could not get an endorse
ment as pound master from his fellow
voters. A man who does not represent
his fellows around his home, is not the
man to represent his fellow citizens be-
fore an investigating committee. What
he says must be taken only as his own
personal opinion. 1t represents moth
ing but his own personal feelings, and
that those feelings are strongly biased
is self-evident.
To get even" with personal or polit-
zeal foes such man is sometimes will
ing to pull a whole fabric of prosperity
down, to scatter financial ruin right
and left if it is in his power. But such
designs are not in his power. He may
dream of Them he may even shape his
thoughts into words, but he cannot
break down the fabric of commercial
and agricultural prosperity, which has

men want a piece of land the land is
put up to auction, and he who wants it
most, pays the higher price for it and
gets the land. The same principl
should hold good over the Kohala ditch.
The objects of both parties are not
philanthropic. Each is going into the
affair as an investment. The water
supply of that section is an asset of the
Territory. The Territory cannot, as
things now stand, develop the asset it
self. Others, however, are prepared to
develop it, let them, therefore, bid for
the privilege. The Territory will then
get the highest market price for it's
asset, and no possible complaint could
be made.
This seems a plain and common sense
method of reaching a solution. The
sale should be we'll advertised, so that
other parties besides those now in the
field should have an opportunity Of
looking into the matter and bidding if
they should think fit. The territory
will thus get the highest value for its
asset, and all chance of favoritism viii
be removed.

TIE CERD PELECE,

been so laboriously and so theoretically
reared by our pioneers, and the efforts
to bias the minds of the Senators will
only prove as futile as the arguments
are fallacious. The whole card palace
of misinformation and innuendo will
topple over when the true facts are set
forth.
The Builders and Traders Associa-
ton, representing seventy-two firms,
has given a calm review of our Ter
ritorial conditions and has asked for
remedies. This document will be laid
before the entire committee when the
Senators return to Washington. The
memorial of the Chamber Of Commerce
is soon to be laid before the Senatorial
Committee and will represent the views
of Weather firms and corporations
than compose the Builders and Trad
ers' Association, though by no means
more important as far as the body
polite is concerned. To the progress
of the Territory, the one set of men is
just as important as the other.
The memorial of the Chamber Of
Commerce will deal with many points
which the Builders and Traders Asso-
citation either only just touched upon
or avoided. 1t will clearly and fully set
down the needs of the Territory as they
appear to men who have spent their
lives in extending the commerce and in
building up tn industries of the Islands.
Men who have faced severe commercial
crises and have come forth from them
completely victorious. Men to whom
the prosperity of the Territory means
provision for widows, orphans and
those who are passed work. Take
away or injure the industries of the
Islands and everything that makes life
worth living here viii fade away and
become as the unstable fabric of a
dream"
The more facts and less comment the
memorial of the Chamber of Commerce
contains the better it will be for the
Territory. Five thousand miles from
here our clashing views have little in
terest to the reader. But the men who
desire to legislate ably and efficaciously
for the good of the Territory will study
facts and figures very diligently.
Whether bitter articles and satirical
cartoons were published here will
weight not feather weight in Wash
ington, but the yield of the soil, the
amount of taxes and their distribution,
the amount of revenue and it's disposal,
the amount of labor required, the work
of the Board of Health, the question
of leprosy the risk of the Introduction
of plague, smallpox and cholera, the
opportunities for white mechanics, and
so forth, will be eagerly studied and
impartially considered. 1t is facts, not
invective. that the Committee seeks,
and it is facts that will be sought for
