KAUAI COUNTY POLITICS

Editor Evening Bulletin:--It Is now
a foregone conclusion that the leader
" Home Rulcism on this island Is GO
Ing to be elevated to the Deputy Tax
Assesorship for the district OF Wal
mea. Certain supervisors OF the coun-
ty will be surprised though AZ the next
election. should the above intention be
carried out or an attempt made TO
railroad IL through. Kauai Is CON
servative to certain extent. but We
are not going to swallow this barcface
h0ssing. The true to heart Republic
cans at the last election worked hard
and managed to elect the Gay-Rice
ticket with the pledge that only Ro-
publlcans were to be had for officers
OF the county. and yet, here comes
raw piece of imposition, by putting
Judge kapuniai out of his place, who
Is Republican. and offer 1t to Luka
Nakapaahu II this undertaking Is
allowed to succeed. then later on he
will be n candidate for Sheriff of Kauai
under disguise of being u converted

WESTINGHOUSE MoDEsTY.

The Father of His Country Disliked Vain
| Glory.
1t is a common trait Of self-made men
| to enjoy the collection and preparation
of material for writing autobiography
and to let all the world read the story
of their lives. 1t Is seldom that re-
quest to furnish help in writing Il
memoir of a distinguished nun ls re-
! fused by himself or his family. Wash.
ingtOn held other views on the subject.
1t seems that after the Revolution II
Mr.. Bowie made application to Dr..
James Craik, the family physician of
| George Washington, for permission to
examine such papers rs would be nee
essary to assist him in preparing n
memoir of His EXcellency.
On Tuesday, March 20, 1874, Wash.
ingtOn wrote rs follows to DR.. Cralk
from Mount Vernon:
IL will frankly declare TO you. my
dear doctor, that any memoirs of my
life, distinct and uncOnnected with the
general history of the war, would rath-
or hurt my feelings than tickle my
pride whilst | live. | had rather glide
gently down the stream of life. leaving
it to pOsterity to think and say what
they please of me than by any act Of
mine to have vanity or ostenlation I'M
puted to me-"
Thus did Washington put aside the
request, knowing that no accurate his.
tory of his career could be written
without consulting his papers. and
deeming it indecorous to permit public
use of his MSS. dealing with the War
for Independence until such time as
Congress should authoritatively open
its archives to historians or to the gen.
! eral public. Possibly Washington
thought it was too soon to get clear
history of his life. At any rate. he was
prompt in suppressins the hope Of Civ
ing DR.. Bowie any diaries or papers
which would enable him to construct Il
memoir.
