How Mr.. Erwin
Lost a Board.

Ex-Councilman Joseph Erwin from
the First ward has his doubts about
some of his neighbors living in Lib
erty Park. Mr.. Erwin, with some as
perity, said today that people riding
on the Liberty Park cars would swipe
a mans false teeth unless he kept his
mouth closed
The ex-councilman dates his trou-
bles from the time he tried to take
home a board which he secured in
Hillyard. where he has been working
as carpenter. The board was oozing
with pitch and was cherished by Mr.
Erwin because he thought it especial
ly suitable for kindling.
He sat on the car with the board
praced against the back Of the seat
with his feet. Everything was all
right, he says, until Commissioner II.
l.. Lilienthal got on the car and when
Mr.. Erwin's time for getting off the
car came both the board and the po-
lice commissioner had disappeared.

ORDINARY CIVIC DUTY.

An everyday duty Of citizenship is
what the members Of the Republican
party are called upon to perform in the
approaching primaries. " these county
primaries be considered an eXtraOr-
binary occasion II furnishes an ex-
ample only OF how far short Of full
filling their political duty 10 them
selves and the community party men
have fallen in previous years.
Some people seem TO think the gov
erument they want should be made
for them: that their only part in 1t is
70 wait until the ticket is named, the
candidates elected and then give orders
as to what should he donc-and IL
their orders or requests are not carried
out, consume themselves with wrath
in railing at the incompetence Of sue
cessful candidates or the electorate or
both.
Men who think they can fix the con-
ventions or whip officials into line after
they are elected and are therefore in
different TO the initial work at the
primaries are beginning ut the wrong
end of the line and stand a good chance
Of discovering that they are counting
without their hosts. There Is but one
way to secure honest and competent
government. The forces Of honesty
and ability must make their power felt
by their presence at the primaries.
Without they do this their s.rength Is
a fleeting phantom when exists only
on paper or in vigorous verbal asser-
tiveness amounting to little or nothing
in the final analysis and the practical
result.
The sentiment expressed by John
Hughes at the Second Precinct gather
ing that the Republican party wants
neither autocrats nor gratters 10 rule
epitomizes the whole situation. To OBJ
viate such a possibility, the work must
begin in the precinct meetings and al
the primaries. Indifference to these
preliminary meetings means the pre-
dominance Of the grafters, and with
such material in Office the autocrat fol
lows with his demands, Then the
trouble begins and is amending.
Precinct meetings are now on foot
and the primaries are soon to be held
A turn out OF Republicans at these
meetings and at the primaries in as
strong force as on election day Will
guarantee for oahu county and all
other counties of the Territory, candi'
dates whom the rank and file can 10y
ally support and the people thorough,
trust in the administration Of the loea
governments, Marshal the full Re
publican force at the primaries, in
struct the delegates, and the danger O
corrupt or incompetent county admin
istration is reduced TO minimum
Threats as 10 what will be done II prop
err men are not named are entirely su
perfluous.
Weak or ENTHUSIASTICALLY candidate
cannot be named II every Republican

TO RAISE MONEY
FOR PRINTING BONDS

Because the Legislature failed 10 pro-
vide for the printing of the Territorial
bonds, little II anything was accom-
plished at the conference held yester-
day afternoon by Governor Dole, Secre-
tary Carter, Treasurer Kepoikai and
Auditor Fisher.
There is no money available for the
printing OF the bonds.
Treasurer Kepoikai has only s225Q
for incidentals of his Office.
None Of the appropriation bills con-
tain any provision. according to Sec
rotary Carter. which can be legally ap-
piled to the printing of the bonds.
The suggestion that the needed
amount might be taken out of the pro-
ceeds OF the bonds was not thought to
be proper by the officials consulting on
the matter yesterday.
Governor Dole proposed that local
bankers be seen In regard 10 the adj
yancement of money for the printing,
the next Legislature being asked 10 re-
imburse them.
In regard TO the question of placing
the bonds In New York or Hawaii,
Governor Dole thought II healthy con.
dition for the Territory to exhibit when
its loans were taken up by its own peo-
y pie. Auditor Fisher and Secretary
Carter thought ii would be well to try
million in New York. The Governor
expressed The fear that II the call fol
bids struck Wall street furry there
would be no response He thought THU
might affect the credit OF the Territory
The Governor favored trying TO sci
the bonds inSfIawaii first.

terylew bankers In the matter of rais
ing funds to defray the expense o
