1t is a we'll known fact that Mr.
Desha was asked by the governor to
accept the position in Hilo when he
refused to appoint him deputy jailer
in Honolulu. The request last week
that the Young Mems Republican Club
endorse Mr.. Desha was a subterfuge
under these circumstances and a mere
Fluff at pandering to the wishes of
this supposedly sensible organization.
In catering to the club, or pretending
to do so, the governor entirely over
looked the Republican party here which
is represented by the district commit
tee. He ignored the Board of Trade
which is presumed to represent the
mercantile interests of this part of the
district and settled in the old rut of
consulting Carter first, last and all the
time. Mr.. Desha was appointed be-
cause of his experience~in the postoffice
at Honolulu and when Mr.. Desha's
commission expires some other Homo

city, where the houses were small and
low and widely scattered.

The OrIEIn of SANTA Claua.

Santa Claus is of German origin.
This is true if only because that is the
German name for st. Nicholas. That
he is an old man is because in the an
cicnt pagan feasts in celebration Of
the decay of the old year and the birth
of the new an old man played the prin-
cipal part. Among the Greeks and Ro-
mans it was Saturn, the father of all
the gods, and among the Norsemen it
was Thor who was long bearded and
white haired. That the saint Is st.
Nicholas Is due to the fact that that
venerable personage's feast day was
celebrated ut about that period. St
Nicholas was bishop of Myra, who
fourished early in the fourth century.
He Is the patron saint Of children and
schoolbOys. and hence IL was natural
that he should be part OF Celebra-
ton when the children received gifts
and when they We're allowed to be
heard as well as seen."-New York
