Hawaii's Urgent Need.

Elsewhere in The Star today is printed
letter from this papers occasional Hon
olulu correspondent, 'Kamehameha, whose
accounts of things Hawaiian have for years
past furnished The Stars readers with a
clear conception of conditions In the mid
Pacific islands In this letter "kamehame-
ha" voices the appeal of the Hawaiians for
square deal in the matter of financial
treatment by the federal government. The
islanders, he says, are being heavily taxed
$3.50 per capita per annum for local pur-
poses and $3.50 for customs, making total
of S23.1o for each Hawaiian-and only
part of this money flows into the local
treasury to serve for permanent improve
ments. of which the territory stands
urgently in need. The United States, he
claims, is taking over million dollars
year out of Hawaii in customs duties,
and instead of applying it to Hawali's de-
velopment it is, he says. pocket1ng the
whole sum and leaving the island to suffer
for the lack of roads, public buildings and
other betterments which every progressive
community requires.
All that can be said of the United States
in it's treatment of Hawaii that rebounds to
the credit of the federal government Is, he
says, that it assumed $4,000,0 900 of the in
sular debt upon annexation. But 1t de-
prived the islands of their main fiscal re-
source, the customs. and forced the Ha-
waiians to borrow money to carry on their
territorial organization and to step for
ward as an appurtenant part of the United
States The result is that Hawaii already
owes a new debt of over 81 100000, and is
adding to it at the rate of $4,000 year
In order to carry on Indispensable improve
ments
The Hawaiians have earned the gratitude
of this country by the courageous stand
they took at the outbreak of the war with
Spain, and their treatment since then has
not been just recognition of the debt
owed by the federal government. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has urged upah Congress
the necessity of doing something to relieve
Hawaii of the distressing burden which an
nexation has laid upon her shoulders. This
recommendation is worthy of early action.

who is aggressive and intelligent in his
opposition. The remarkable rise Of labor
strength in Great Britain must necessarily
hearten and strengthen the German social
lists. The success of the French radical and
socialist party in the election OF FaIlieres
to the presidency may not be regarded as
a direct result or phase Of the democratic
impulse which has been felt in the other
two countries, but the coincidence is new
ertheless suggestive. Russia has afforded a
tragic demonstration of the political unrest
Of the workingmen of Europe. In fact it
is impossible to look abroad in any direc-
ton without seeing signs that the labor
socialistic propaganda is assiduousiy at
work to acquire the force Of organization
and thus to gain political power.

Georgia.

Col Estiii, the owner of the Savannah
Morning News, has entered the tuberna-
torial race in Georgia with an announce
ment worthy of general attention. He
says:
My platform other than the Constitution
and laws of Georgia is an impartial en-
forcement of the laws and the treatment of
all people and every interest with Justice
and fairness
righteousness. No man can carp at it. If
there are laws in Georgia which are unfair
and unwise the best way to secure their
amendment repeal is by enforcement
If new laws of any kind are necessary they
81 are always the more easily obtained where
the people are assured that all laws
are, and are to be executed Col Estil
speaks 10 the point, and in a way to COM
mend a high degree of respect for his
candidacy.
The people of Georgia have now before
them asking for their SURFACES in connec-
ton with the governorship three Journal
ists all men of prominence in the pro-
fession. Hoke Smith and Clark Howell of
Atlanta have been in the field for some
time and recently have INDUCED in a
pretty warm joint debate in advancing
their respective claims. Each has gone
carefully over the TeCpIu OE the OINeT, ana
now presents. with warrantable political
animation and eloquence, the points that
he has found there which in his opinion
make the other not the right man for the
Office of governor of Georgia at this time
Mr.. Smith has his eye on the right man,
and Mr.. Howell his.
It may be that the entrance of Col. Estill
into the arena, with his calm and compre-
hensjve pronouncement, will have a quieting
effect on the campaign. Mr.. Smith and Mr..
Howell having now to reckon with him will
have less time TO devote to each other, and
should cool off and get down to real bust
ness, discarding personalities and taking the
people more into their confidence about i'm
portant questions. The office sought is one
of great and sober responsibility. and 1t is
possible to put too much ginger into the
campaign for the public good.
Nomination day is some time off, and this

claim its space in the newspapers along

Open the Books.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
The old methods of campaigning are, in
fact obsolete. Strategy and secrecy have
lost their value in politics. The d-time
campaign textbook and the distorting party
leafiet have been tossed to the ash heap.
The voters cannot be tricked and hood
winked: they must be won by frankness
and openness. The backstairs conspirator
and the inventor of campaign roorbacks
and forgeries find their occupation gone.
Candidates for the presidency must stand
today on their personalities and the records
of their parties. The traditional role of our
national committees has been sensibly di-
unfinished, and there is no excuse for the
perpetuaton of a system which permits
these committees to disburse, without check
or scrutiny, enormous and virtually super
fluous campaign funds. If Congress compels
every national political committee to open
it's books it will at once restore sounder
balance in politics and kill a humbug in
dustry which it is time to extirpate.

Senate-May Heed.
From the Boston Transcript.

The first battle of the campaign for lib
eralizing our trade relations with the Phil
ippines has been won by the friends OF
progress. and the struggle is transferred tc
the Senate, where the extreme protection
lists may be counted on to resist to the last
a change of one jot or title in the Dingley
schedules. There appears to be a general
impression in Washington that the resist
ance to the passage of the bill will be more
obstinate in the Senate than in the House
and the Senate capabilities for slow-kill-
ing obstruction where 1t is dangerous to
strike direct blows is something wonderful
Still. the Senate can be made to heed public
opinion, and we think 1t will be admitted
that the House action is a conclusive
demonstration of the desire of the American
people to deal literally with the Filipfnos

For, while I'm criticising him.

And shakes his fists to bid me fear.

The Philippines Tariff.

To persons who are fair-mnded it goes
without saying that the people Of the Phil

be placed In the same favorable position

ritories of the Union. If they are living
under the United States flag, they should
not be treated as aliens.
