Hawaii Verses Ariz,nl.

1t is manifestly unfair, as well as
absurd, for delegate from Arizona or
Now Mexico to compare their local
conditions and requirements with those
of Hawaii or to presume comparison
between the value of those Territories
to the United States with the value of
these Islands to the mainland Ari-
zona and New Mexico are notoriously
a burden on the American market.
They have been such since 1S48 and
VIII continue to be. Hawaii, on the
other hand, is the key of the vast Pa
cific Ocean, 1t is the base upon which
the United States will have to stand
and defend herself in the great strug
gle for martial, commercial social and
religious supremacy, which will inevi-
tably come in this quarter of the
world. The value of Hawaii In this re-
gard cannot be measured by dollars
and cents. 1t composes the very life
of the whole nation, Hawaii is the
buffer for the whole Pacific Coast, and
will eventually, and certainly, become
stage feature in the activities OF the
world that will make Arizona and New
Mexico look like thirty cents.

TOPICS Or raE DAY.

Why did Attorney General Andrews
decline to pay for the services rendered
him and his wife by his servant girl?
Is it because she was Portuguese and
didn't deserve pay from him, an Amer
lean? A man is worthy of his hire
and so should servant girl, be she
white, black, brown or yellow; all
should be treated alike. Mr. Andrews
should pay that girl. and by SO doing
set himself to rights.

THE MAN FOR TRE PLACE.

According to the Star, Treasurer Ke-
poikai sis disposed to favor the idea Of
promotion in the tax Office and to op-
lose Smithies ON account of the latter
having left the tax office. And so do
we, providing the one in line of pro-
motion Is a capable man. Even if in
such a proximity to becoming chief,
almost lifelong service during good
behavior, and the candidates main
claim to promotion is his seniority in
office, his knowledge OF routine work,
the head of the clerical staff, yet with
all that in his favor, he is incompe-
tent, because he has had no business
training or experience outside of such
an Office and cannot demand living
wages elsewhere, we feel that the
appointive authority dare not appoint
such an unfavorable man.

The Mischief Eaker.

According to our information ex-
Supervisor Frank Harvey was the
king pin in the silly cable despatch
to the Democratic National Commit
tee naming Palmer Woods for the of
flee Of National Committeeman in
these Islands. This makes a bad mat
ter worse. What right, real or assumed,
did Harvey have to send off such
cablegram? He is political renegade
a Democrat who sacrificed party prin-
ciples in the last campaign to get Of
flee. A serious breach of political
faith-if not worse-has been commit
ted by this man, and the Democrats
of Hawaii should lose no time in ap-
propriately ,condemning him before the
National Committee. And if he has
not been read out of the party, he
should be instanter.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1904-01-30

The Office of Governor of Hawaii is
most important one Our Governor
has extraordinary duties and powers
In some respects his responsibilities
are co-extensive with those Of the
President of the United States, as, for
instance, his dealing with the army
and navy, and his duties, in respect to
reports and administrative work, are
fully as exacting as are those of the
Governors of Arizona or New Mexico
We do not object to the Governor Of
Arizona having a salary Of $4,000 a
year. He probably earns the money.
But, taking it all in all, after compar-
ing the duties and responsibilities of
the two officers, it must be conceded
chat If the Governor Of Arizona is
worth $4,000 q year, the Governor of
Hawaii should, as business PROPOSE
ton, be worth ten times as much.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1904-01-30

Failing in Col Iaukea as our fore
most choice, we consider Mr.. Smithies
as the next best. We deem that eth.
er of them have some business knowl-
edge about them through years of CON
tact and experience, and experience is
everything TO a man holding such an
important post. Without it, for both
of the other two native candidates
lack such virtue, they would be
helpless to themselves and worthless
to the people, and it would be like
placing them at the mercy Of those Of
superior intelligence and ability. And
now it is improper and unsafe to ap-
point one lacking experience, for this
quality counts much in the long run
with the one holding that Office down.

Our plain duty is to support the best
man, be he brown or white, and he is,
so far as now known to be candidate,
none other than Geo. e. Smithies. His
whole official course is above reproach
and he is besides approachable, which
is more than we can say of the other
Hawaiian candidates. And again, it is
our duty, if there is no competent Ha-
waiian candidate, to support the next
best man.

Competency is the first and main
prerequisite with us and not class fa-
voritism or hide-bound racial distinc-
ton. Apart from all these mentioned
Hawaiian candidates, we would much
prefer Col. G. p. Iaukea, the choice of
the electors of this Island. The public
pulse has been tested and it has de.
clared itself unqualifiedly in his favor.
Condition of affairs having reverted
to its former status, a Territory under
Republican rule, we consider him out
of the question and out of the race.

Some men are born to rule on ac-
count of their executive and business
ability and others are born to be under
others far more superior, but to place
an inferior man with weak calibre
to superior position is to make the
Office an anomaly and sinecure And
such would be the result if James l..
Holt. Deputy Assessor, is placed high
er than himself and he will not know
himself nor his friends in the future.
1t would be the same If u. S. Boyd is
again placed as chief of another bu-
reau. At this writing, we are aware of
certain capers that he Is indulglng in
that should preclude him from being
considered seriously. Not because

AS we understand the matter, there
was not the slightest objection to the
choice of Senator Woods to be Nation
al Committeeman save alone the fact
that he is not resident of Honolulu.
This being a campaign year, it was
important that the committeeman be
III such position as to be Immediately
reached by the National Committee
and also by the Territorial Committee.
Being on the island of Hawaii Mr..
Woods was and is not in such posi-
tion. Colonel Mccarthy reluctantly
accepted the office, but the sponsors
OF the party deemed him to be the best
man in sight.
