lican party that Speaker Cannon will
not be candidate to succeed himself
in that office. He may decide to be
candidate for the House again for the
Danville/ district, although even this
is uncertain but should he do so, and
be again elected he will not again ask
the House to honor him by making
him Speaker.
AS nearly as the facts can be ascer-
tanned at this time, the question of
the Speakership of the Sixty-second
Congress, assuming that the House is
then to be under Republican control,
has been the subject of serious con-
sideration by party leaders of nation
al prominence. There have been
number of informal conferences in
which these leaders have participated,
and the unanimous judgment has been
that Mr. Cannon, saying nothing of
whether he has been right or wrong in
the things he has said and done as
Speaker, has ceased to be a party as
set, and that it will be necessary to
rid the party of him before the next
campaign gets under way.
1t will be understood, of course, that
the Speaker has not been present at
these conferences, and that his judg-
ment at present is not in harmony
with the judgment of the men just re-
ferred to. But the drift of public opin-
ion has been so clearly in one direc-
ton as to leave no room to doubt the
ACCESSIBILITY nay the necessity, of
thorough House reorganization after
the close of the present Congress. AS
a part of this reorganization, there
must be new Speaker. This conclu-
sion has been forced upon some of the
strong friends of the, Speaker and
there is now no doubt but it is gener-
ally accepted by party leaders of all
shades of opinion.
Among the insurgents, Speaker Can
non has long been anathema. This,
however, was not very serious mat
ter, so long as the public was not
aroused. The first important weaken
ing of the Cannon hold on the conf
dence Of the country manifested itself
during the Presidential campaign of
1908. In that campaign it was gener-
ally recognized that he was weight
on the Republican party. President
Roosevelt realized that this was the
case, and spoke of it many times to his
callers. President Taft, it is fair to
assume, felt the same way about it,
although he has been more careful of
/ speech than his predecessor.
Following that campaign, and the
meeting of Congress in special session
last March for tariff revision, the anti
Cannon sentiment of the country rap

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Great inter

nation made by Commander Robert
E. Peary Wednesday night in speech
at the banquet of the New England
Society that the expedition which he
led successfully to the North Pole
might also try for .ne South Pole. He

work if the organization, the person

methods, so perfected, might be di'
rected toward the South Pole, with
the possibility that the Stars and
Stripes might wave at both ends of
the earth's axis"
Asked unequivocally after the ban
quet if he intended to lead such an
expedition, Mr.. Peary said:

ganization of such an expedition to

.Ily crystalized. The outward and
visible sign of that crystalization was
the movement in the House against
him when he became a candidate for
Speaker and later the movement
against the re-adoption of the rules of
order, from which he derived his au-
thority to govern Both of these
movements failed, the latter, however,
only narrowly. Had it not been for
the support of certain Tammahy and
southern Democrats, the old rules
would not have been adopted last
spring, and an upheaval would have
come about in the House that might
have done the party at large great
harm.
There are many fair-minded men
who believe that the Speaker has done
nothing the rules have forbidden, or
which would not have been done by
anotheuoccupying his place But this
view of the case can no longer be ta-

Trouble About
Street Digging
NO BETWEEN sUPERNrEN DENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND
BOARD SUPERVISORS oR1NG OF MUNICIPAL ORDINANCE
BY GAS COMPANY RAISES TIoNs-sUPT CAMPBELL
Is FOR COORDINATION.

There is no fight on, nor even fric-
ton, between the Superintendent OF
Public Works and the Board of Sup
ervisors with regard to the digging OF
streets by corporations and their res
toration to the condition in which they
were found. All of the trouble is
between the Board and the Honolulu
Gas Company, the company having
thus far ignored the municipal or
dinance on the subject.
Superintendent Campbell stated to a
Star reporter that he stood ready to
cooperate with the board as he had
been doing all along, by notifying the
Board of every permit granted and at
the same time including in the permit
a stipulation to the company that the
disturbed street shall be restored to
condition approved by the Board OF
Supervisors. In other words, the Lee
gislature having conferred on the
Board of Supervisors the control as
we'll as maintenance of streets, the
Superintendent delegates the control
given to him by statute, in accord
ance with his duties and powers un-
der the organic act, to the municipal
authorities.
Coordination of the dual jurisdic-
lions is what Mr.. Campbell regards
as the best way to overcome any tech
nical bar to full control of the streets
by the municipality To this end he
states his readiness to deputfze any
proper municipal officer, the engineer
or the road supervisor for instance,
to exercise the supervision that he
and the road supervisor under the
former system had over street restora-
ton by companies whose franchises
allow them to disturb the streets.
AS to the trouble with the Homo
lulu Gas Co., the situation is thus:
The company apparently assumes that
it is not amenable to any of the new
conditions made by the creation OF
municipal government, and that when
the strict letter of the Territorial sta
tute is observed, in it's application
for and receipt from the. Superinten-
dent of Public Works of a permit, il

VOLCANO SCENES.

This is the evening OF the presenta-

this feature there will be motion pic

football game, etc. The entertain
ment promises to be splendid treat.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-01-08

may proceed to dig up the streets
subject only to the provisions of the
statute requiring supervision of the
restoration work by the Superinten-
dent of Public Works. This supervi-
sion, as already stated, is delegated by
the Superintendent to the Board Of
Supervisors with notice to the COM
pany. So far well, but before the in-
timation that a permit has been
granted reaches the Board the COM
pany has finished the work without
any official supervision whatever.
Hence it has become matter OF COM
mon knowledge and criticism that the
work of restoration is scamped to the
damage of the city and the taxpayers.
The so-called digging ordinance re-
quires a corporation, before disturbing
a street or road, to apply to the clerk
of the city and county for permit
and the clerk is required to issue the
permit on the approval of the engineer,
the road supervisor of Honolulu dis
trict or the road overseer of any other
district. This producer alleviates any
need of submitting the matter to the
Board of Supervisors, while making
feasible the inspection of the restora-
tive work from start to finish.
The trouble in this particular regard
would not exist if the company re-
cognized the municipal ordinance.
From this the question arises of whe-
ther the Superintendent of Public
Works has not the power to enforce
recognition of the ordinance, barring
perhaps the matter Of fee for permit
which did not exist under the general
government. At present in his issu-
ance of permits he notifies the COM
pany of the delegating of his author
ity of supervision Of repairs to the
Board of Supervisors. 1t may be
queried whether he has not the right
equally to delegate to the municipal
officers named in the ordinance his au.
thority for issuing the permit.
At all events, Mr.. Campbell assured
the reporter that he stood ready to dc
his part in securing coordination il
the matter.

He roanns about the dusty wharves
And gazes DER the sea,
His blue eyes dim, his body bent
With foc'sle drudgery;
A worn-out, weather-beaten hulk,
He stands upon the quay.
The rain and wind make sport of him
But the warm wind is his friend;
1t mindens him of Rio town
Where pleasures never end,
And of ship-mates who along with him
Followed the Gulf Streams trend
No man may know his history,
His story none can tell
Only his eyes grow strangely keen
At the sound of ships clear bell,
Or as he watches the ohiug'S craft
Lurch to the sleek land-swell
No ship is his, no ship can be
His sailing days are past,
He's just a derelict adrift
Upon life's ocean vast;
