cratic Delsgats in Washington and

But when that happy day arrives in
a few weeks the Governor should in
decency give way to tho will of the

"why the people should belong to

and he is hardly basing his assertions

The Democratic platform stands
for a muchly needed revision OF our

now unequally divided, the poor

The Democrat. Home Rulers know
now, what they can expect, if they
do not smash the machine on cleo
tion day by defeating every Repub.
liesn candidate. 1t can be done,
because The Hawaiians have on over
whelming majority. Let them stand
united, and the machine will 60 to
pieces. If the Republicans are allow.

waiians will find themselves left out

while Goysrnor Carter, applauded
by Mr. Baldwin, will continue to run
the machine in the interest Of the
haole clique, which, contrary to all
American principles of government
by the people, hold high sway in the
Executive building today.

Mr. Baldwin ia anxious, that the
voters shall eend men, to the Legis-
lature, who will work in harmony
with the Governor for the good Of
the country. Does it not appear to
the Senator, that it would be more
American to suggest the appoint
msnt OF a governor, who will work
in harmony with the Legislature
than advocating, that the represent.
atives of the people should be
chosen from among the backers OF
the appointed governor. A Dsmo-
cratic Legislature would get along
very nicely with Mr. Carter, because
the governor would soon be made
to understand, that he ii the servant
of the people whose representatives.
are the members OF the Legislature.

The activity in the government ON
public works at the present moment
can not fool the voters. The ad.
ministration has had ample funds
and ample time to carry out the

it is easy to see, that work is only

of catching votes We urge the Ia.

of our citizens and just due to the

In the constellation Scorpio, seen,
when visible at all. low down in our

first magnitude, called Antares. This
object Is, according to measurement
of its parallax by Sir David Gil.
enormously distant and must there

from photometric considerations that
its mass Is probably $1,000 times that
OF the sun. AS rule the tendency
of astronomers La to doubt whether
such differences as these figures i'm
ply exist among the CELESTIAL orbs, but
undoubtedly the mass Of Antares
must be exceptional. Mr. Larkin Of

points out that round this great star
