HONOLULU'S CITY GOVERNMENT

Mayor Ferns inaugural address
sounds keynote of harmony, and
as the Mayor will probably have more
than any other to do with creating
harmony or discord during the first
year of Honolulu's existence as an or
ganized municipality, there is every
reason why harmony should prevail.
The executive of the city has only to
stick to his text.
The first few weeks of the city's
history will tell the story. During
that period the men entrusted with
| the responsibility of inaugurating
municipal government will prove to
the satisfaction OF the people whether
they are possessed Of good Judgment,
common-sense. and strict loyalty to
the common good
The people will be quick to note
whether the play OF partizans is for
pure partizanship or the Improvement
Of the service rendered the people
We all know what should be done.
Every citizen who is true patriot
will second every effort of the Mayor
and the Supervisors In reaching q
basis of action from which the detail
of government shall be worked out
with freedom from Official friction
and tn chest possible result for the
Taxpayers. Do.
1t is not for the people to say how
the Mayor and the Supervisors shall
get together" in the conduct of the
government. They will. however,
protest against an era of wrangling
that cannot fail to retard the bust
ness of the city.
True friends Of American govern
ment hope for the greatest success Of
the city government at this time. II
Is their ambition that local self-gov-
eminent shall march steadily forward
in this city, which was a civilized
center when many of the great main
land cities of the West were villages
OF savages surrounded by bowling
wilderness. Their ambition is to see
the City of Honolulu progress. This
II will do II the government OF the
first organized municipality elimi-
