EFFICIENCY The SECRET OF
SUCCESS.

This declaration on the part of the
Republican County Committee will, if
made good, do more for the promo
ton of the welfare and stability of the
Republican party than anything that
could be brought forward at the pres
ent time
Efficiency in public Office is the doc
trine that has always been preached
by the ulleti n; efficiency is what
the people want. Satisfy that demand
and the overwhelming majority will
always be contented
And you can usually depend on an
efficient man to be loyal to his party.
Few men are so constituted that they
can be efficient without being loyal.
The exceptions prove the rule.
Efficiency is the first and last word
of success in any line and there is no
reason why it should not be applied
to politics, though all too many feel
that amy old thing goes" in the po-
litiCal game, .r. .t.r. .....

THE FILIPINO IMMIGRATION.

Editor Evening Bulletin:-
In your editorial comment regarding
the latest batch of undesirables from
the Philippines, you say: the plant
ing interests will do well to exercise
particular care in the selection of
FilipinOs-". The morning paper of
this date has the following on the
same subject: why do the agents
Of the Planters Association send such
people here?" Both these comments
apparently convey the inference that
the Planters Association has the last
word in the selection of who shall or
shall not land in Hawaii. This, of
course, cannot be true. The immigra-
ton authorities have the final word
in all such matters; the only question
in which | am at present interested
is: Are the immigration authorities
using all necessary care and diligence
in examining, OBTAINING and, wherever
necessary, returning these people,
when found to be in the class of I'M
desirables, to their own country?
If this latest assortment of alleged
laborers had been landed ut Ellis Is
land what chance would they have of
presently finding themselves walking
up Broadway?
have been told that the chief
cause of the trouble lies in the fact
that these people now on Quarantine
Island are not the Filipinos originally
chosen by the agents of the Planters
Association, but that the party is
made up Of men and women who were
substituted at the last moment, on the
dock in Manila, for those who were
first selected. If this be true, or If
these people are diseased and unfit,
why should there seem to be any pos
sible chance at all of their becoming
Il part of our home population?
Sincerely yours,
KANUCK.

Honolulu, Hawaii, Dec. 2S, 1910,

Our correspondent Is in error as
regards the responsibility of the i'm
migration authorities for the landing
of Filipinos at the port of Honolulu.
United States immigration officers
have Jurisdiction over foreigners and
the Filipinos are not classed as for
eigners If the immigration authori-
ties had the right to stop the Filipino
we believe Commissioner Keefe would
have turned back quite a number OF
the last lot that came to the port dur
ing his stay here,
1t is true, however, that the control
of the Federal government over the
Philippines and Hawaii is so direct
that the Filipino immigration would
stop in very short order If President
Taft should make such IA suggestion
to the Philippine Commission. The
local executive officers could also pro-
tect the Territory from undesirables
by the exercise of ordinary police
power
But Hawaii does not want Interior
ence from the President, the Philip
pine government or other source Of
authority. 1t needs a certain class Of
labor and II wants to secure that
labor in IA manner sufficiently well
sareguarded to give reasonable assur-
ance of the people being of char
acter that will meet the approval OF
all concerned. ....
The most serious item of our cor
respondents letter is that which re-
fers to the people arriving for the
plantations being other than those en-
listed by the planters representatives,
in the Philippines.
If it be true that the planters
agents enlist Il good class Of laborers,
and during the course of ransporta-
ton these people are exchanged for
a liberal mixture Of the "rakins and
scrapln's" the whole community be-
comes Interested and tho situation
calls for something more than talk.
