LOOK OUT FOR YOUR OTN.

Hilo is great and the Home Rulers
are greater, in that, according to news
received through its press, Republican
defeated candidates have been ap-
pointed to offices, and that further Re-
publicans are receiving the cream Of
the offices. Didn't we always say that
Home Rulers are soft and easy game
flor others to play upon, not sufficiently
knowing when and how to play poll
tics, handling II without gloves. 1t
may be "give-and-take" policy, but
I'VE deem it very dangerous for their
party's future success. When they are
jim the political arena, they are not
there to do child's play; they must
work for their party's interest, friend
ship cutting no figure in the matter of
patronage. Oahu, nor Maui or Kauai
are doing the same, but they are
working on strict party lines and are
helping out their friends who worked
hard for them, but not their enemies
Ii Hilo Home Rulers don't know who
their friends are, then it Is about time
for them to shut up shop and go into
bankruptcy or oblivion By throwing
down friends for enemies, harm ia
done to one while the enemy chuckles
and laughs at the foolishness stupid
ity and Stiffness Of the other in con
troll Of power. Look always for
friends first and all the time; enemies

A Petsred View.

II the Legislature had no right in
appropriating money to pay certain
private obligation, does it then hold
that 1t had no right to appropriate
anything towards the payment of the
Hackfeld Wharf claim, which the Ter
ritory had pledged its credit and was
an obligation to be met and paid? We
are of the opinion that the legal opin-
ion of Deputy Attorney General Pc
ters is altogether off on the Kalua
paiai matter which the Board Of
Health refused to approve, but which
the Legislature ordered paid. The
money for the Hackfeld Wharf has
been paid without any kick, but when
il came to Kalua's claim, the Board
of Health registers a kick and tries to
squirm out of paying the same.

It's a pity that we have to strike at
a young lady in order to hit JACKIE
Lucas, but the game is a fair one IN
politics, the same as 1t is in war OF
love. There need be no crying, for
all is fair in the end, as there was no
harm intended towards the fortunate
young lady who has found friends
among those whom she least expected,
probably only because Of certain
event soon to happen whereby two
hearts may be joined as one and the
linking of two families into a mutual
alliance for the future, all for the best
of the young people concerned.

Turned Missionary.

Attorney T. McCants Stewart has,
all of a sudden, become missionary.
He does not believe in the holding of
meetings Of political character on
Sundays, yet the best work done by
his party Republican, were always
concocted, Matched and executed on
Sundays, We are somewhat of mis-
sionary turn of mind, too believing in
tie religious observance of Sunday,
but we also believe, as Cardinal VOL
seley did, in serving God first and
country (and if need be-self) second,
also believing in the saying that "bet-
ter the day, better the deed"

While not in the business Of sug'
gestlng political moves of the Repub-
lican party, and caring very little about
them anyhow, we would say. that the
suggestion of sending Judge Hum
phreys to the Republican convention in
Chicago is about the best thing for
that party tnat we have yet stumbled
upon-provided, however, that he
would accept the important office,
Judge Humphreys ability is unques-
toned, and his acquaintance among
members of the convention would give
him swing that would be of value.
The opposition of a certain grab-all
element of the community should not
ngure in the matter of his selection.

Carter And Ths Delegate.

That the influence of Prince Kuhio in
Washington will be nil is already es-
tablished Roosevelt's estimation Of
a man is based upon his number of
bear scalps or his football record In
this George r. Carter is ahead Of the
Delegate, for he knows all of the rules
of football, and will therefore be con-
sidered ahead of the man sent to
Washington to transact Hawaii's bus
iness. 1t is reported from Washington
that every recommendation OF Ha-
waits Delegate is referred back to Gov
ernor Carter for his opinion In con-
nection herewith there is also re-
port that Pilnce Kuhio will resign in
case the practice is continued. In this
we do not blame the Prince at all. He
should either be Delegate and sponsor
for the Islands at washington or moth
ing at all. Football George should not
be allowed to butt in.

We, Also, Object.

In summing up the expressions in
regard to the proposed exchange of
public lands on Hawaii for building
lot in Honolulu, the Advertiser failed
to note that The Independent on Sat
urday expressed its disapproval of the
move, We object to the exchange for
many reasons. Not only is the prin-
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1904-01-11

ciple wrong, but the exchange is un-
fair to the county in which the land is
situated and the exchange value is out
of all reason. The Kau land is worth
more to the people than the Boardman
lot on Lunalilo street.

After all, the war between Japan and
Russia seems to be largely newspa-
per affair. Travellers by the America
Maru, who had been in Japan, heard
more of it here than they ever knew
before. While it is true that both
Japan and Russia have been going
ahead with military preparations, it
seems that, in Japan at least, there ara
no fears of early hostilities.
