CHANGE METHODS
At BOYS HOME
New Administration al kalihi
Institution Is Being
Planned.

A change, Ia the methods of admin
istration Of the Kalihi Home for Boys
has been decided upon by President
Mott-Smith of the Board of Health.
As result of this decision the stair
of the Kalihi Boys Home will undergo
several changes in personnel. The SER
vices of Miss johnson and Mr.. Ma
hawa, the superintendent, will be ter
minated on July l, at which time the
changes approved by President Mott
Smith and the Board of Health will be-
come operative.
Under the new system Hiss King, an
experienced trained nurse, will be plac-
ed in charge of the home with the
title of superintendent and matron..
Mrs. Hu will continue as an assistant
nurse and there will be one other nurse
whose name has not yet been decided
upon by the health authorities.
About fifty children are cared for at
the home and as the majority of them
are of tender years they require care
full attendance both day and night.
Provide Three Nurses.
President Mott-Smith stated yester-
! day that it was the idea to conduct the

and control of the Board of Health, and

problems that might arise without ask.

health department.
'sThe changes that are to be made
are in no way a reflection upon the
present administration Of the home, =
said President Mott-Smith yesterday.
T'They are simply undertaken along the
lines of progress and we feel that they
win work out to the advantage of the
home. The number of very young chill
dren that are in the care of the home
indicates that an experienced woman
nurse should be placed in charge. Mrs.
/ King will be the matron and superin-
tendent and will have general execu-
| tive control over the institution. She
| will be provided with two assistants
and it is believed that this force will
be sufficient to care for the children. =

CHICAGO JOURNAL
REEVES OLD YARN

The Plate Makers Criterion, trade
journal of Chicago, dresses up an old
Honolulu dream in new dress, as fol
lows:
Mr.. H. j. Griffith, United States
representative citizen of the world,
bon vivant whatever that Isl, bohle-
warbler, and late of San Francisco, and
| married as well, is with US once more
in thas dear old Chicago. ssGriff" blew
in the other day, and announced his
connection with the Binner-Wells Com
pany in the capacity of superintendent
of their engraving department. In
telling about his experience in San
Francisco he says: g / liked the place
all right, you know it's my home, and
would have remained there. but my
wife won It let so you see-there IS
a reason We don't like to come out
with that old gag, 81 told you SO, /"
but when we think Of the arguments
we had with this young man when he
was about to rush where angels fear
to tread, it makes us smile One of
the best stories ever pulled by Grit
fifth is the one he told about his resi-
dence in Hawaii, while packing a gun
for Uncle Sam.
The conversation turned to alcoholic
drinks and their effects, and he chip
ped in like this: Il never forget the
drink we used TO get in Honolulu call
| ed 'swipes.' The natives make it and
use it to a great extent, the process
of manufacture being more or less re-
garded as secret. The government
forbids its consumption, or, to be more
correct, its sale.
A bunch of us boys used to go down
the road piece until we reached the
dwelling of an old kanaka (native)
whom we would approach with the fol
lowing query: Hello, John; can we get
| some swipes?' The old man would
shake his head In a melancholy way
| and say: Don't got him. No sell

of swipes. simultaneously there woult
spring up as from the ground his en-
tire family, which is going some il

hitting this vast area to remain
a desert for the lack Of moisture.
But within the past few years
1t has been made manifest that
it was well for us that this great
domain was left in an arid con-
dition until we became educated
to practical methods of intense
farming, and so today we find
the regions of this arid land be-
ing made the mecca Of all farm
ing countries. Values spring in
to existence, such as has never
arisen from non-irrigated lands.
Within the past ten years the as
sessed values of this valley have
increased more than $40, 900, 600
and the year Of 1908 alone mark
ed an increase of So, 900, 900 over
the previous year. Yet, we are
just beginning to develop this
valley. Even our little town and
adjacent territory, will, within
the next few years, increase the
assessed valuation of 1908 by
several hundred thousand dollars
The 5000 acres adjoining Nab
ton which are being placed un-
der irrigation will support pop
ulation of several thousand peo-
pie and the wealth of our little
city will increase many fold.
In q country where values in
crease so rapidly as this, there
are unfold opportunities and

Governor Hays Plan

Governor Hays plan of having
no state officers elected by the,
people except the governor and
lieutenant governor is worthy of
consideration, though the Com.
moner does not believe that it.
should be adopted. The chief
argument in favor of it is that.
the voters are not well enough
acquainted with the candidates
for nominations for the minor
state officers to be able to judge
of their qualifications, whereas,
if the governor had the power
to select the heads of the various
departments just as the presi-
dent selects his cabinet, more eff
ficient men would be secured.
This would probably be true,
provided the people never made
a mistake in the selection Of a
governor and lieutenant COVER
nor.
But what would be the result
if a man like Mead should hap
pen to be elected governor and
he should select for his assist
ants men like Elk Adjustant Gen
eral Hamilton and Ex-Railroad
Commissioner Mcmillan?
With a strong but selfish and
ambitious man in the guberna-
torial chair there would be grave
danger that he might use the
increased power to build up a
political machine to perpetuate
him in office or advance him to
the United States senate. With
a well meaning, but weak exc
cutive there would even be more
danger than under the present
system, of the selection of dis
honest and incompetent officials.
The governor is now vested
with sufficient power to safe
guard the people against dishon-
esty and grating in the other
departments Of the state admin
istration, and an honest, fearless
and competent executive would
make it his business to do it. If
