ADVANTAGE OF COUNTIES.

Moreover, the counties have the
advantage of being able to expend
their funds as they deem best, while
the Territorial executive is bound by
specific appropriations for different
objects. a saving in expense could
be effected IL some of these appropri-
ations could be combined into lump
sums giving the heads Of departments
wider discretion so that they might
use the money to the best advantage,
the aggregate being limited as eff
fectually as at present. "-Governor
Frear's Message.
or course the counties are able to
! eXpend their money as they see fit.
| That Is the great value OF the local
government-which has legislative
authority Immediately available, is
elastic and promptly meets the de-
mands OF the people.
But why should the executive Of
fcers of the Territory be given the au.
, thority properly held by the Terrific

These few sentences from the mes
suge open up vistas of the good old
days" when executive officers switch
, ed appropriation balances around to
suit themselves, whistled at legisla-
. tive authority, and did what they,
the officers, pleased.
We congratulate the Governor on
o fact that this is the only place in
Ills message where the old habits OF
old administrations. going back even
O the days of the monarchy, stick
out so that they are evident to the
naked eye.
Practically interpreted, this sug-
gCstion means larger incidental
funds, and ability of the executive
departments to go ahead according
: to their own sweet will regardless OF
the obvious intent, II not the exact
direction, of the Legislature.
Why is II that when men get into
the executive building of the Terri

AGITATORS NOW
ATTACK TSUCHIYA
Japanese YiCe-Consul Is
Target For Shafts
Of Bitterness

The Higher-Wage agitators are
now after Secretary Tsuchiya of the
japanese Consulate, who recently
made visit to the Island of Hawaii.
They are sore at him because of the
interview published in this paper to
the effect that he thought the con-
ditions on the plantations were peace
full.
Now. the Nippu Jill, the organ OF
the agitators, is after Secretary Tsu-
chiya. That paper yesterday pub
lished an article purporting to be
correspondence from its agent on Ha-
wall, who tried to discredit the Sec
rotary and tried hard to agitato la
borers against him. On its first
page. in large type, the article COW
ers two columns. The rough trans
lation follows:
"TlMID AND INCOMPETENT SEC
RETARY TSUCHIYA.
Secretary Tsuchiya, who came to
Hawaii few weeks ago to see the
condition in different plantations on
the Island of Hawaii, showed incom-
petence in his racial duty and unkind
ness toward his countrymen while
here.
while he was staying in Hilo, one
Kagawa of Kaumana, representing
sixty other japanese planters, wait
ed on him and lodged complaints
against the plantation regarding the
written agreement which they con-
sidered incomplete, and about unsat-
isfactory condition of their houses,
and some other petty complaints"
The correspondent or the Jill ac-
cuses Secretary Tsuchiya OF appar-
ent indifference and incompetence.
He is said to have told the represent
tGtiye in Hilo that as agitation Is
now going on, It would be far better
to settle the matter after the pres
ent agitation has subsidized.
Tsuchiyas advice to be peaceful
is now construed by the correspond
ent of the agitation organ as evidence
OF his incompetence and unkindness
The correspondent asks the High
Wage Association to take up the mat.
ter and censure him for his conduct
He says: "The secretary tried tc
cover up the things and did not visit
any camp in the vicinity of Amaulu
and Kaumana. ""With what word car
Secretary Tsuchiya reply to the
charge of Incompetence and timid
lity?" Our countrymen are all in
dignant at the unkindIy attitude o
the officials of the Consulate, ant
| they want to appeal to their country
. men who stand for Righteousness
Consul Uyeno, II he wishes to remed,
, the fruit of the shortcomings of hi
secretary, ought to visit the islanC
himself and attend to these things.
In the article number of INJECT
ives are thrown at Secretary Tsuchi
va which are characteristic of thu
paper of the agitators.
