The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-02-25

After all has been said and all opin-
ions expressed, the fact remains that
the Floral Parade on Washington's
Birthday was one of the most bril-
liant spectacular affairs Honolulu has
witnessed since the days of the mon
archy. It was an achievement which
should be az world-known as the Mardi
Gras of New Orleans, the carnivals of
Nice, Venice and Florence, the flower
fiestas Of California and the cherry
blossom season of Japan. The Floral
Parade-although it should be known
by some typical Hawaiian name which
will stamp it as conspicuously as the
Mardi Gras-was an achievement ac-
complished almost without previous
trial, save that given on Thanksgiving
Day a year and a-half ago, and that
the second annual parade will over
shadow the one just past will be the
one supreme effort of whoever may be
III charge.
The brilliant colors of flowers and
drapings used on the autos and car
riages, the pageantry and the old-time
Hawaiian pau costume worn by Ha-
waiian women equestriennes, the May
day atmosphere in which Washington's
Birthday is always celebrated in Ha-
wall, and the beautiful effects of the
mass of blossoms produced in the gar
Gens of Honolulu, made the fiesta one
which can be talked about for months
to come, and then it will be time to

Large sums of money are no

Is. F. Chronicle.)

Among the great variety Of cities
that are scattered far over the Amer
lean possessions, Honolulu has the Cd
dest form Of government, and it is
probable that it is the most peculiarly
governed city in all the world. Al
though it has population. of nearly
$4,000 and is one of the most important
seaports on the Pacific Ocean. it has
no Mayor or collection of other officials
distinctly it's own, and it has no city
corporation. It's affairs are directed
by county and territorial officials only,
and it is only distinguished legally from
the remainder of Oahu County, which
embraces the entire island of the same
name, by being separate judicial dis
trict and having Its own Deputy Sher-
iff and District Magistrate, who serves
as Police Judge.
Honolulu is distinguished in other
ways from all other cities of the world.
One of these is it's having served Sue
cessively as the seat of government Of
a monarchy, a republic and an Amer
lean Territory. It's present odd form
of government is due to its novel his
tory, but it is quite certain that it will
not be many years more before it will
have both laws and officials of its own
and in this way be like other cities of
modern times.
Geographically considered, Honolulu
is the most westerly situated city on
the globe. Far beyond it, on the ocean,
the old day dies and new day is born
to make a trip Of rwenty-four hours
around the world before ending it's ex-
| istence also. Figuratively speaking,
/ the city might be considered the COM
mercia1 gateway between the Occident
and the Orient.
| Associated with thoughts of Homo
| lulu invariably come those of a land
| of eternal summer, of endless sunny
seas, of a beautiful island clothed in
| tropic verdure, of a harbor crowded
with tall-masted ships and smoking
! steamers, and of an inviting, peaceful
! city with shaded streets and beautiful
| homes surrounded by numerous trees
on well-kept lawns. Every visitor goes
away to tell of the attractiveness of
the city and the island, but there are
/ indeed few who know anything about
| the peculiarities of the city govern
ment.
| There is nothing in the appearance
| of Honolulu to indicate that it differs
| in form of government from other
| cities, and this is probably why the
average visitor does not come in con-
| tact with its popularity. Every mod
ern convenience is noticeable. The
| streets are paved in the most modern
! way. The people own their own water

The Most Curiously
Governed City, Honolulu

system and a part of their own light
ing system. There is a modern street
car system in the city and its suburbs;
but, owing to the lack of an instructive
city government, the public improve
ments in Honolulu are paid for by the
property owners in all parts of the
island as well as by those of the city
proper.
There is an efficient police depart
ment in Honolulu and there are or
dinances to govern the people; but the
police are directed by the Sheriff and
have jurisdiction over all parts of the
island, while the ordinances are made
by the Board of Supervisors and are
effective in all parts of the county.
There is no Chief of Police and there
are no City Councilmen or Aldermen.
In. the present police system there is
one Objectionable feature, and that will
probably be remedied at the next ses-
sion of the Legislature. The Deputy
Sheriff is elected by the people and his
duties conflict with those of the Sheriff,
who has no way of enforcing obedience
from the man under him. This has ne
cessitated the appointment by the
Sheriff, Arthur NJ. Brown, of an assist
ant Sheriff, who at the present time is
Henry Vida. This appointment was not
due to friction between the Sheriff and
Deputy, but to a desire on the part of
the Sheriff of having a man to assist
him over whom he can exercise legal
authority. The present Deputy Sheriff
in Honolulu is J. S. Kalakiela, a pop
ular Hawaiian native who accepts GER
tain specified duties, and thus does not
bother with the Sheriff and his assis-
tant.
If the tourist would visit the Police
Court while in Honolulu he would find
1T one of the most interesting features
Of the city. Really brutal criminals
are not much in evidence there, for the
people are generally of that peaceable
nature for which the Hawaiian natives
are famous. Occasionally, of course,
there are serious crimes committed, but
| the average trial in the Police Court is
of some supplemented person, whose
ignorance, rather than criminal desire,
has caused him to violate the law.
An example of this kind was a Japa-
nese, who was arrested for stealing an
other mans pants. The japanese who
| had lost the garment met fellow
countryman in the street wearing what
| he believed to be his property. He de-
lhdnded possession or the goods on the
spot, and when they were not delivered
| Immediately a fight ensued. and later
the whole thing was explained in the
Police Court.
/ Arrests for stealing clothes from
! family clothes lines are quite common.
I knew of one native woman who had
her neighbor arrested for hitting one

lice Judge in such cases generally man

then advises the contestants in faith

sewing machines, of the kind made to

native women were standing near, anx-
iously watching him. When I asked
him what he was doing he explained to
me that the women lived in the same
house and had somehow got their ma.

Laura and Joe belonged to the poor.
In the slums of big city they lived
with their parents, who were employed
In doing what Is commonly called 'sweat-
shop work All day long two sewing
machines ran in their little dark one
room abode, for Laura and Joe's parents
made boys suits and women's jackets.
1t required one weeks hard work for the
poor couple to earn SO much as $40 be-
tween them. As their rent amounted to
almost half of that sum, you who read
this story will see how little was left
for food and clothing, with nothing for
pleasures and amusements.
Laura kept the room as tidy as the
work of her parents would allow, ana
Joe ran all the errands and sold news
papers evenings and mornings. 1t was
rare thing for the two children to play
or to go several blocks away to rest
little while In pretty but crowded park,
where they might sit on bench and look
at the grass, but might not set foot on
its refreshing coolness
But there came a day when Laura and
Joe were to pay a visit to the country
a place they knew only by description.
They were to be taken, with lot OF
other little Stun Inhabitants on a boat
up the great, beautiful river to Wild
wood country, where they could romp
and play all day. The "Fresh-Air So
ciety" was responsible for this great
pleasure to the little ones.
Very early the start was made, and
Laura and Joe held each others hands
tightly as they stood against the deck
rail and looked down into the water. SO
cool and blue and deep. The other chill
dren laughed and were noisy; but not 80
were Laura and Joe. They were a SOL
emn little pair. with their big dark eyes
and thin. pale faces. One thought-one
wish, rather-was uppermost In their
minds. Their dear mother and father
could not enjoy the outing with them,
but must stay In their hot, dingy room
sewing away at their back and leg
breaking machines And In their loving
little hearts the children wished and
longed that their parents might be with
them.
After two hours of delightful sail on
the water the boat landed right under
great tree-covered cliff, where a water
fall sparkled In the September sun. soon
those in charge of the children led them
up pretty shady path to a spreading
level. where grass and trees abounded
everywhere. A picnic ground was soon
reached and swings and hammocks were
put up. The children entered into the
spirit of the occasion, and fun reigned.
But although they breathed the fresh air,
enjoyed the fragrance OF the WOODS and
wild vines and flowers, Laura and Joe
still felt unhappy on account of their
parents, and, hand in hand. wandered
away from the frolicsome crowd, going
deeper into the surrounding woods.
After they had walked for sometime
perhaps half an hour-little Joe began to
feel weary. II wish l had a drink,
