The business end of the edition may
be taken as an index of the good will
existing toward this little labor paper

TWO KINDS OF GOVERNMENT

Il have come to the conclusion that
there have been only two kinds of
government in the world so far
namely, thief rule and mob rule

The idea may be Emma Goldman's,
but the words are the words of
Franklin H. Giddings, one OF the
leaders in university sociology and a
professor at Columbia University.
Now, the puzzle-it's double puzzle
is to find Professor Giddingss err

the government at Washington.

policy of the part of the Territory to
do this. But nevertheless. it belonged
to the Territory, and was subject to
the call of the Territory for its return.
Mayor Fern did not agree with Mr.
Aylett. Cox replied that the property
was the Territory's and when the Ter
ritory called for it, it must be returned
The county had no right to hold it.
Mr. Mcclellan said he did not know to
whom the fire engine belonged and
thought the matter should be referred
to a special committee. Fern again re-
marked that the only objection he had
to returning the engine was because the
county would have to buy another one.
Mr.. Logan said that Superintendent
Campbell had given him some good rea-
sons for the return of the engine, but
the Mayor said that perhaps Kauai and
Hawaii and Molokai might want an
engine and the Department of Public
Works might keep on calling for en-
gines and the county would have to
buy new ones. After long-drawn-out
discussion, with hardly any head or tail

when motion was a motion, or when
amended, it was voted to give the en-

ment thereof, and it is likely that the
appropriation deadlock between the
Mayor and the Republican members of
the Board of Supervisors will now be
brought into court, if the auditor re-
fuses to draw the warrants.
When the question of payrolls was
preached, the Mayor stated that he
had taken the matter under considera-
tion, and he desired this statement to
appear on the clerks minutes.
On motion of Cox the date for open
ing tenders was changed from the 10Th
to the 9th of each month.
Mr. Kane then presented the report
of the Committee on Roads, Bridges
and Parks, carrying the various pay
rolls of the road, park and engineer
bureaus. His Honor said the mat, Sr
was up to the Board. He refused 70
entertain a motion, and Logan, with
his usual Zone, two, three formula,
presented the matters to the Board,
which passed, Mcclellan voting no.
Mr.. Cox, on behalf of the committee
on police, said he was, not quite ready,
but would present the payrolls today.
Mr. Logan stated that the special COM
mittee appointed to confer with the
Lincoln anniversary celebration COM
mittee, had had member at the cele-
bration meeting.
AS to the proposition of Mr. BONNIE
to make moving pictures of the Homo
lulu fire department, the special com
mlttee presented report to the effect
that Chief Thurston had been inter
viewed and all arrangements were en-
trusted to the chief, with the recon-
mendatiOn that he have sufficient re-
serve apparatus on hand to respond to
any calls, and that the chief consult
with the board of underwriters before
taking any action.
The Board then spent a dreary third
of an hour quibbling over the request
of the Superintendent of Public Works
for the return by the City and County
.of the old fre-engine known as ''China
No. ), as the Department of Public
Works desired to place the engine in
locality which was unprovided with
fire protection. Chief Thurston, who
was in attendance, explained that
China No. 81 was an extra engine
in his charge, and had been used in
old volunteer days by a Chinese fire
company. 1t it was returned to the
Department of Public Works, then the
county could, in time, provide more
modern engine. The boiler was old and
new one would have to be put in in
about a year.
Mayor Fern remarked that he under
stood the engine was to be sent to
Maui, and he questioned the right of
the Territory to call IN any apparatus
from Oahu county and giving it to
another county. Mr.. Aylett said he was
member of the 1905 Legislature when
the County Act was passed. The coun-
ties started out practically without any
assets. The Department of Public
Works of the Territory loaned the coun-
ties its road building equipment and
turned over what public utilities it had
in all departments, but it was merely
a loan of such equipment. 1t was good
