In his report to the President, Gov
ernor Dole followed the dictum pub
lished by his mentor, the Advertiser,
but rather balled up the proposition.
He intended to urge the immigration
of small farmers to the country, but
in his bungling fashion let the cat
out of the bag. Small farmers, to place
the only possible construction upon
Mr. Dole's words, are wanted here for
the purpose of outvoting the natives in
the elections. The missionaries have
lost ground so rapidly in the past three
years that recruits are urgently need
ed That was the Advertisers idea,
as we have pointed out all along, but
the morning press was astute enough
to conceal its motive while Dole was
not. The whole small farming agita-
tion was a scheme to entice men out
here for the sole purpose of controll
ing and using their votes.

If Prof. Berger stopped to figure out
the causes of the great applause given
the Twenty-second Infantry band at
the Hawaiian hotel on the occasion of
the recent double concert there, he
doubtless learned a good lesson. Ber.
gers style of music is that of thirty
years ago when horns were weak
throated and bands were small. At
this day it sounds like chorus of
steam pianos. The military band re-
duced Bergers volume of sound about
S2 degrees, with the result that it fell
softly and sweetly on the ear and

Prince KuhiO
InSult0d in Ohio.

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 6.-J K. Ka-
lanianaole, Delegate to the Fifty-eighth
Congress from Hawaii and affection
ately known by the people in his ma
tive land as Prince Cupid" met with
an experience during his brief stay
here which was humiliating, to say
the least
Prince and Princess Cupid" were
occupants of a box at the Southern
Theater, which is controlled by George
Ketcham of Toledo, and were thor
oughly enjoying their surroundings
when the Prince was suddenly tapped
upon the shoulder by an attache
and requested to "bring the wo-
man." so the story goes.
The Prince, who is universally treat
ed with distinguished consideration by
statesmen and men of nobility, thought
at first that some mistake had been
made, but he was invited again to ac-
company the employe to the rear Of the
house. He was there told with scant
ceremony to leave the box his identity
being unknown at the time and the
attaches laboring under the impression
that a rule against one shade of skin
takes in all, regardless of distinction.
The Prince, however, refused to abide
by the wishes of the management,
which has since found that it insulted
two people high in Government circles,
who have attended many of the most
exclusive functions held in Washing
ton and New York. The management
after learning Of the blunder sent spe-
cial emissaries to the hotel apartments
of the Prince to make due amends,
but he scorned them and left for the
East far from pleased with his treat
ment.
The Prince and his wife are Polyne-
sians and although their skin is dark
in hue they are readily distinguishable
from the African race.

John Martin was partially right last
night when he told the Problem Club
that the tourist proposition was
fraught with a certain amount of dan
ger. He mentioned Pasadena as hav-
ing been ruined by tourists. What we
have to fear most here is the setting
in motion of tide of consumptives,
lured to Honolulu by the beautiful
stories being sent out of HawaiiIs
equable climate and outdoor life.
Should such tide begin it will be hard
to check and it's effect will be ex-
tremely bad. Mentone was ruined in
this way. In a few years it has chang
ed from a great health resort to place
visited only by consumptives and their
relatives. Arizona and New Mexico
have not, on account of being sparsely
settled, much to fear from this class
of tourists, but Hawaii is in quite a
different boat.

The appointment of Guy H. Gere
to be superintendent of public works
will, if it comes about be dido No.
for the Carter administration. Gere
is a most pleasant young fellow to
meet socially but he is awfully lacking
in those qualities that go to make hte
candidate for such an important Office.
1t is not necessary that the superin-
tendent of public works be an expert
draughtsman (Which is the sum total
of Mr. Ceres qualifcations) he
should, on the other hand, be a man
with wide knowledge of business and
a knowledge of proposed public works
and the countrys needs. He should be
practical man. If Mr.. Carter is de-
termined to appoint Republican to
the Office it seems to us that he could
easily find more able men, For busi-
ness qualifications in every particular

would be far better man, provided

pense Of competent and trustworthy

DISTRICT MAY ASK
ADDITIONAL JUSTICE
Press of Business in the Courts and
Frequent Vacancies Make the
Need Urgent.

It is not improbable that a bill will
be introduced at the coming session of
Congress which will provide for an in
crease OF the number of members of the
bench Of the District Supreme Court
from six to seven justices.
When the code of laws now in force
was under consideration. about two
years ago, such a change was suggest
ed. For many months in the past two
years there has been a vacancy on the
District Supreme Court bench, and then.
more than at ether times. has the need
of larger bench been felt by the mem
bers of the local bar
1t was only a few days ago that a
long existing vacancy en- the local bench
was filed by the appointment of Daniel
Thew Wright as an associate member
OF the District Supreme Court Never
theless. it is 4 fact that IT has been
since the appointment Of Justice Wright
that the discussion of the question Of in
creasing the number Of members of the
bench has been renewed.
Attorneys who have given the ques-
ton serious consideration say that II
would be a great convenience to both
litigants and counsel. and also TO the
other members, If the number of JUS
tees IS increased to seven. In support
of the proposition. It is said that the
natural increase of business in the local
court demands that the working force
Of the bench be enlarged. IL is also
noted that there are a large number OF
cases on appeal from justice of the
peace courts, which have remained on
the dockets To- long time undisposed
OF. for the sole reason that under the
existing circumstances the justices Of
the District Supreme Court actually
have not time to consider them.
Heretofore IL has been the duty OF the
justice assigned to preside in Criminal
