HAWAII HERALD
CHANGES HANDS
SENATOR PALMER p. WOODS AND
OWNERS, TAKE POSSESSION.

J. T. Stacker, for ten years owner of
the Hawaii Herald, has recently sold
the paper to Senator Palmer p. Woods
and Col. John r. Baker They have
taken possession and John L. Smith,
the new editor, greets the public with
the following article:
In 'butting' in to the journalistic
field I am entering upon a new phase
of life Having always regarded news
paper work as a snap. I was dumfound-
ed at the cry by the compositors for
fourteen columns of copy when It al
ways seemed ito me that about half a
column of editorials would be all that
am editor would have to provide This
is truly a strenuous life. I shall do the
best l can, however, and if anyone is
dissatisfied l will do better than that
For my place i'm politics ! shall have to
quote Justice Clinton A Galbraith. who
introduced me to speak at a banquet
iu Honolulu, just after my election as
District Attorney for East Hawaii on
the Home Rule ticket. He truthfully
said: smith is a Democrat by birth,
"a Republican by affiiation and a Home
Ruler by promotion This statement
of my political status ought to satisfy
the most fastidious. Those looking for
roasts will be disappointed. I shall
not use the columns of the Herald to
vent personalities. but shall try to
build up, further its reputation for
truth. The editor and manager Of the
Tribune are my warm. personal friends
and former schoolmates, and l sincere
lily hope our friendship will be bright
ened by journalistic rivalry.
JOHN L. SMITH"
