unanimity with which the tentative
harmony program proposed by the
Blu letin is accepted and favor
ably commented upon. There are
some things so obviously good that
even the criminal classes cannot find
a point on which to hang an objec-
ton.
II is a matter in this campaign as
II has been in all other campaigns OF
getting the people to take an active
part In campaign work. There are
so many good men who find that they
have mot the time" or the disposl-
ton to get into the work Of politics
and affairs of government, that they
furnish the basis from which the
blatherskite and bludgeon wielders of
ill-repute carry on their campaign Of
misrepresentation against party
workers
1t Is not always possible to APP
proach a political problem in the
natural logical way. Therefore II It
Is deemed best to name the fruit he

What every citizen and every lead
er should bear in mind, however, is
that success cannot be gained by q
namby-pamby, stay-at-home, back-of-
fice-parlor game.
Every man must do his utmost
early in the year to line up and size
up the forces in his own precinct. It
is the individual work that counts,
coupled with a practical exhibition
Of fair play in shaping up the organ
ization and the party ticket.
This is a fact a great many very

while whites of foreign parentage in
creased 36.2 per cent.--almost twice
as fast.
IF we can imagine immigration
to have been cut OFF in 1912, we can
figure this nation In 1908 as one of
possibly 100000 souls. The first
Brooklyn bridge is just begun; New
York City is town of less than l.
100000 people on Manhattan Island.
Brooklyn has annexed Williamsburg,
but there are big grain fields be-

with immigration stopped in
1912, we might have had no Civil
War. The South would be in control
in Washington, and, II the South
wished 1t, slavery would still exist.
We should be slowly becoming, in
deed, a negro nation. The colored
population would be nearly one-quar-
ter of the whole, where at the begin
ming of the Republic 1t was only one
sixth. II is now, thanks to our citi-
zens OF foreign birth, parentage and
grand-parentage, only II. 6per cent.
of the nation.
New York and New England
would have suffered most in this re-
spect. In 1900 the excess of births
over deaths among native whites in
these seven States was only 3.S per
1000. The excess among colored
people in the country was 17.s per
1000. For native whites the excess
for the country was slightly greater,
but with natives of foreign parent
age and grand-parentage excluded it
would have been far less.
The compelling cause OF Ameri-
can developments for two generations
has been foreign misgovernment driv-
ing white men hither. That some

IMMIGRATION AND DEVELOPMENT.

The acts Of violence done by re-
cent immigrants to the mainland
have caused the immigration" prob
lem to again come to the fore and
with II variety of proposals for
checking the influx OF undesirables.
Every plan to reduce the number
and improve the quality of people
coming to the country raises the old,
old problem Of how the good may be
separated from the evil, and the labor
market still supplied for carrying on
the developing industries.
What would we have done with
out them" is a query that has caus-
ed the New York World to present
some interesting figures regarding
the work and growth for which the
immigrant is in large measure re-
sponsible.
From the beginning of the Re.
public 26,o00,00O immigrants have
come hither; 25,000.0O0 since 1872"
says the World. Even before the
discovery of gold, from 1S45 to 1S49,
immigration was as rapid in proper
tion as 1t has ever been since; and in
1S5l-54 81 immigrants came for ev-
cry 1000 Of the population, while in
1sO4-07, in rush that may never
again be equaled, only 81 came for
every 1000.
There were In the country in
1900 100000 foreign-born and

IMPROVEMENTS AND BONDS.
Especial to the Bulletin

Especial to the Blu letin)
Wailuku, Maui. April 1S.-The Maui
Board of Supervisors will meet this
morning to open bids for new road
contracts for East Makawao. There
are about seven different contracts
and about as many different bidders
for each. Among the bidders will be
a. A. Wilson, ]. II. Wilson, j. A.
AheOng and various huis. Two of the
public works proposed will be affect
ed by the decision of the Supreme
Court in re Maui County bond issue
of $4,000, which is hanging fire be-
fore that tribunal. If the court should
decide that the act was faulty, the
proposed improvements would have
to be done without a bond issue by
the county. And If the court decides
in favor Of the act, the bankers would
still refuse to loan money to the coun.
ty because the law calls for 5.l5 and
the money lenders really want 500
bonds and no less. As far as Maui
County is concerned $40 Is more
preferable or even less time, for that
would induce the County Fathers,
whoever they may be next year, to
lay aside larger sinking fund for the
redemption of the bonds, and the in.
terest thus saved could be utilized for
more public improvements, instead of
being added to profits of corporations.
