of the same class. Why, then, should
there be any hesitancy about return
ing him. He is pre-eminently the man
for the place at this time. Numerous
measures of the utmost Importance to
all of US are pending at Washington.
AS Kuhio has given them the initiative
! he and he alone is capable of going
back to washington in December and
in March next and forwarding these
matters as they should be forwarded.
THE GOVERNORS ENEMIES.
Governor Carter, who has been fit-
tingly described as a perfect steam
engine of energy and action. has drawn
enough fire from the Democratic camp
to annihilate a Manchurian army.
Taking by and large the greater portion
of what has been said about him, we
should feel that We honor ourselves I'm
declaring that We love him for the enc
mics he has made. They are a motley
crew indeed, including certain weare1s
of striped suits and candidates for like
wearing gear, a riff-raff in favor of
free and easy times and customs, pro-
fessional politicians, and, to be fair
and exact, with here and there a mis-
guided good man and citizen who has

where.
up at the Orpheum theater, in the
Democratic meeting right now, Mr..
Kinney is reading his carefully prerar-
ed paper on the evils of a Governor
governing, catering to the disappointed
and the fault-finding, while Mr..
Hutchins, diselaiming any purpose OF
being personal, is heaping abuse upon
the head of Kuhio. We know this. be-
cause these speeches have been adver-
tised for a week. Now, gentlemen,
when is a governor the kind OF n gov
ernor we want in this Territory? I'll
undertake to say that it's when he in
sists upon an incorruptible judiciary
for the common people, when he insists
upon the most honest and the most
proper conduct of every office within
his control, when he Is fearless and
courageous and fair and keeps in touch
with the citizenship. That is the kind
of a man we want and to all appear
ances that is the kind of man we have.
He puts efficiency and correct admins
tration before technicalities apd he
strikes blow when it seems that a
blow is required. Why, large por-
tion of this community was frenzied
Friday night and part of today over
the retirement of certain officials from
positions long held by them. But al
ready the atmosphere is changed and
it is becoming clearer and clearer that
Carter was right. In this matter he
has shown that he is not afraid. Had
he delayed action until after election,
a period of only two weeks, 1t is my
belief that he would have called down
upon himself the righteous censure of
the community. He has put the public
service before politics and that is the
kind of governor we want to govern
here.
A MYTHICAL ABUSE.
Speaking of those mythical or mys-
teal pro fornaa' undated designations
They were surely not very much in evil
dence on Friday. The accepted ac-
counts say that one of the officials re-
tired called In a stenographer and
dictated his resignation Now. finally
under this head, these undated resig-
nations seem to worry nightly a lot
of people who can have no possible
with them. Up to date no man
reputed to have been the author of one
Of them has had word Of criticism
to offer. And there are some pretty
strong and outspoken people in the
scope of the bugahoo. Just how long
would Col. Harry Fishers the auditor,
or Mr.. Campbell. the treasurer, or
Mr.. Holloway, the superintendent of
public works, or Mr. Pratt, the land
or Mr.. Holt, the tax
assessor, be subject to an agreement
or condition compromising to the
slightest degree manhood, personal
liberty or the best government. Just
