Maligners Of Dole.


appears through a glass darkly will then
be face to face
Maligners Of Dole.
TT cannot be much comfort to the many
maligners of Gov. Dole to find that the for
tunes Of the territory are in the hands of
Senator George Carter, as stanch a sup
porter Of the governor, as thorough be-
lever In Americanism as clear-sighted a
republican, and as responsible man finan-
cfaly. as is to be found In the territory.
The home rulers have no love for George
Carter, he knocked them too hard in the
last legislature. Some of the closest and
most bitter truths against that raiding and
robber gang came from his fearless lips.
They need look for little mercy at the hands
of the senator when he reaches the ear OF
the President.
The covert royalist. who has posed as re-
publican will be another character from
whom Senator Carter can strip the pagean-
try and feathers, and show him in his
naked ugliness. Given a certain amount OF
good clothes. a certain amount of ready
cash to spend and trouble about cred
itors and 1t is wonderful what a splurge
the royalist can make. People are SO ready
to take him at his own valuation, and that
is very high one. They do not know, as
any kamaaina knows, and as Senator
George Carter knows, that there is nothing
behind the fuss and feathers except the bit
terest of race hatred which is exhibited
here freely, but which is suppressed In
Washington for purposes Of its own.
Dole's Americanism.
Another genus which will not feel COM
Portable when Mr.. Carter begins to Law
matters before the President is the carpet
Dagger. Hawaii welcomes with open arms
any set Of men who come to the country to
work, who desire by such work to help for
ward the territory, and who, when they
have won the confidence Of their fellow citi-
zens, will aspire. and rightly, to political
honors Such men she will always honor
But the political job chaser, the man who
comes to the territory not to work either
with his brain or with his hands, who Is
only looking for what he can pick up by
allying himself with any disgruntled and
discontented portion Of the body polite. Is
not the man either this territory or any
territory wants. And Mr.. Carter knows the
character OF such men as thoroughly as
any one In the community. and he certainly
Is not the man to spare their exposure.
AS The Star has pointed out, all this

Financial Crisis Passing.
The Star. in Its issue Of February 6, ad-
vised that Gov. Dole come to Washington
Tor personal interview with the Presi-
dent 1t said:
The financial crisis In this country has
been serious one. but happily IL now
passing away. That 1t is 50 passing away
is due to the conservative manner in which
the work OF the territory has been con-
Quoted. and that conservatism has been
que to Gov. Dole's attitude. Had he not
remained an Arm al he has done. i'm spite

mercial ana financial position would have
been very seriously affected
1T ID certainly time that some action
should be taken against the constant cal
umnies that are being poured into the ears
Of the executive at Washington. Il IL right
that all good and responsible citizens
should Join i4 . movement for that pur-
pose. But The Star would propose q
stronger move on the part Of our terri
