capable OF any good.' this little +.
interview very clearly stamps him
as a conceited ass. capable only Of
a silly pose while trying tosbe
smart. and having little or no APP
probation of the real dignity and
serious responsibilities of his posi-
ton.
Neither Harper's nor McKelway
have h't Il exactly right, though there
are these IA HaW all who will hold up
their hands ana shout Hear, Hear"
for each.
McKelway doesn't state the whole
truth when he suggests that the Gov
ernor did not put any blame upon the
people 5000 miles away. The New
York Times correspondent, for in
stance, got the idea that Carter was
about to return and make it hot for
"the politicians" Hawaii doesn't un-
derstand yet what Carter or the Times
means by the politicians" The re-
mark however carries with II the i'm.
preston that in the conference not

good natured Governor.
Harpers goes astray when 1t puts
the Governor down as making a silly
pose. When Governor Carter is in good
fettle, 1t is as natural for him to
temporarily shoulder all the response
bility for everything that's wrong about
him, as It is for him to eat. He changes
his mind however-like other men
when the burdens get thick and the
pathway full of brickbats and chuck
holes.
The eptome of this varied mainland
discussion shows that the peculiar.
lily OF the Governors position has at
tracted the attention of keen OBJ.
servers Of public events. Therefore
his methods of handling the situation
will not be set aside indifferently when
he once more gets in intimate touch
with the real problem.

COMMENT ON CARTER

There is no doubt that Governor
Carter put himself distinctly in the
limelight of the mainland critics when
he made his trip to oyster Bay. In
cidentally the critics have not been
slow to direct their shafts. The COM
ment is not all one way. 1t is APP
parent however that the same thought
has come to some mainlanders that
has appealed to local people, namely,
that Mir. Carter will have more Difficult.

tion incident. for the reasons that are
obvious to one who follows the detail
OF events.
Tho point occurred to the Boston
Herald and something of the same idea
is voiced in Harpers Weekly which
delivers itself as follows in its most
recent issue received:
We have sometimes thought that
Dr. st. Clair McKelway's most
striking and fascinating note--that
of high. though judicial, morality
sounds less true in the summer
months. Our readers will recall
several instances of soft-pedalling
about n year ago, although later
there came a crash of righteous in
dignation over poor Cortelyou that
must have made the late Mr.. Wag-
ner's lamented dust turn green
from envy. Now listen! We have
a sort OF Governor OF Hawaii. All
he has to do is to behave himself
and not NEEDLE too much with the
! innocent pastimes Of the natives.

now this official is Mr.. George II.
Carter, who got along so Ill that
he came home. and went out to
Oyster Bay and handed in his
resignation: but either the Presi-

wanted the job and he decided to
go back. At the station he was
interviewed by the Tribune.

The week was cool, cloudy and ex-
cessively wet in all districts, General
rains or scattered showers were of daily
occurrence, the amounts reported
ranging from 200 to a.90 inches, and
the average for the State was probably
above 800 inches. A number Of reports
have been received of local damage to
buildings, crops and live stock by
severe windsqualls, hail and light
ming.
Corn planting and other field work
have been much delayed by excessive
moisture, and in considerable areas
several days of drying weather will be
required to put the soil in fit condition
for resuming planting operations. On
naturally dry or well tiled lands plant
ing may be resumed within day or
two, with favorable conditions.
Reports indicate that pastures and
from the moisture, except on low and
flooded lands, and all kinds Of small
grain on well drained soils are doing
notably we'll and stooling out nicely.
Early planted corn is sprouting fairly

There are some reports of injury to
fruit by wind, hail and excessive rains
during the blooming stage. Generally
the crop conditions are fairly good,
