 There is comfort in the knowledge SC often expressed, that DF. Kilmert swamp.Root, the great kidney remedy, fulflls every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in tine back, kidneys, liver, bladdel and every part of the urinary passage, t corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Roor is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis. tressing cases. If you need q medicine you should have the best.

the Governor should realize this fact
when he is about to enter upon the
first legislative period of his admin
istratlon. The common people. II
that be the proper term. must be con.
sldered on every occasion. II they are
not, they will command attention IN a
very short time.
Having been long on the bench,
the Governors habits OF thought have
been to draw his conclusions from
books without other assistance than
the student lamp to furnish the
light. The people had to accept the
conclusion as final. ...
As chief executive the situation is
different. While the Governor does
not have to be told this, many of our
citizens are convinced that old habits
have n strong hold, and create n state
of mind
The Governor is approaching a pc
Rod when he will be in immediate
touch with the representatives of the

the community and will retain 1t as
long as he keeps in touch. He has
lost ground by the Mahuka deal and
has not gained by the methods fol-
lowed in handling the Organic Act

that his programs should first be
placed tentatively before the people,

will not have further instances OF
this character.

THE CRIMINAL AGITATION

1t is very apparent that the dress
ed-up thugs Of the japanese colony
have taken their cue of agitation
from the criminal section of the
American press In this city. They
also look upon that section as a me-
dunn of free advertising and real
friendship, though apparently in OPP
position.
That, however, is not the point at
issue.
Certain residents of this city, en-
joying the liberty and privileges of
the easy-golng American government,
have abused that privilege to the ex-
tent of arousing their ignorant fell
low-citizens and urging them TO
physical attack for reyenging fancied
wrongs.
This cannot be and must not be
tolerated by the law-abiding citizens
OF this city and Territory.
In putting an end to the campaign
o. violence, the citizens should have
the active aid and support OF every
respectable resident of the city, re-
gardless OF race or nationality.
But whether this aid and coopera-
ton from the residents is forthcom-
ing or not II may be accepted as
certainty that the men who are
preaching anarchy and INDUCING in
threats will have to quit or 20 to
jail.
That is the long and short OF 1t.
| The sooner the police authorities
take cognizance of the dangerous elc-
ment, now very much In evidence,
the better.
American citizens will not tolerate
the conditions which the dressed-up
thugs are trying their utmost to Gre
ate.
| Will the departments, whose duty
lit is to guard the community against
criminal classes, wait until blood II
shed before they take steps to sup
press the men and the mediums
through which appeals are made L
the passions of ignorant residents?

to the Board, as did the rest Oh the De.
rartment heads.
At the meeting yesterday afternoon
Deputy County Attorney Milvertor
tried to have the matter of the Clerks
appointments brought M unuer unfln-
ished business, but the Mayor in
formed him that he had not reached
0 decision as yet. 1t now appears that
the Mayor was acting under Section
las OF the Municipal Act, which pro
vides that when any officer, board or
department shall require additional
deputies. clerks or employees, applica'
ton shall be made to the Mayor there.
for and upon such application the
Mayor shall make investigation as ID
the necessity for such additional as.
sistance: and II he find the same nee
essary he may recommend to the Sup
ervisors to authorize the appointment
of such additional deputies, clerks or
employees; and thereupon the Super
visors, by an Affirmative vote Of not
less than five members. may authorize
such officer, board or department to
make such appointment. and provide
for the compensation OF such ap.
pointees."
II now appears that the Clerk has
written letter to the Mayor, under
date of January 10, but this letter was
received after the resolution In regard
to the appointments had been passcu
and can consequently have no bearing
thereon. II appears consequently that
under the section quoted above the
Mayor has full power to decide wheth-
err Kalauokalani shall have any assist
ance beyond his deputy, or to decide
Just how much additional help he re.
