CIRCUS DOES WELL
AT 0RPHEUM THEATER

The Great American aggregation
of vaudeville talent opened at the
Orpheum last night to very enthu'
siastic audience, which, despite the
bad weather and numerous attrac-
tions, was large. The show, which
lasted two hours and half, consist
ed of twelve numbers, amongst the
most prominent being George Settler
and his clever performing dogs. The
little dog Funny, in his high jump
from a 50-foot ladder down amongst
the audience, was very good. Ben
Beno and his falling chair, on the
high trapeze IS a very clever and
thrilling turn. Daieze, on the triple
horizontal bars, is wonder, per-
forming the most difficult feats with
ease and grace that are marvellous.
Youturkey, the Japanese equilibrist
on the slack wire. and in his Won
derful "slide for life" over the heads
of the audience from the balcony to
the stage, makes brilliant finish.
The Vale Trio is a very versatile
combination which, after entertain
ing the audience for fifteen minutes
with a clever melange of singing,
dancing and music, was recalled five
times.
The wonderful Weldons, who clos
ed the performance, are certainly
pastmasters in the art of bending and
contortion. The young ladies of the
troupe are the cleverest in that line
that have ever visited this city. They
are so supple that it is a pleasure to
watch them tie themselves into knots.
The same performance will be re-
peated tonight and tomorrow night,
with a special matinee tomorrow

DIRECT PRIMARY is
TOPIC OF EVENING
Judge Whitney Discusses Ar
gunnents For and Against
Proposed Policy,

Arguments for and against the di-
rect primary were presented by
Judge W. l.. Whitney last night in
the course of a thorough article read
by him before the civic section of
the Mems League of Central Union
church. The paper went exhaustive,
fly into the subject, both from a
standpoint of general policy and
from that of results in States where
it has been given a fair trial.
Among the advantages Judge
Whitney noted were that the direct
primary brings out large vote, that
it undoubtedly eliminates unfit can
didates, that the number of candi-
dates for any given Office is likely to
be less than under the convention
system at the primary, and that the
candidate and the people were
brought together. In enumerating
possible disadvantages he named the
expense involved in two separate
campaigns, the antagonism engen-
dered in party ranks and the chance
for weak candidate to be nominated
at the primary beaten by the other
party at the polls.
Opportunity for informal discus
sion on the subject was given among
the members. 1t was announced
that at the next meeting, on January
20, w. r. Harrington will deliver
the paper of the evening, his subject
being "a School Policy for Hawaii"

HIRAM JOHNSON and The
DIRECT PRIMARY LAW.

Numerous systems of prevarication
are being invented here as elsewhere
tb defeat Legislation for the direct
primary.
lThe only real question that Republic
can members-elect of the Hawaiian
Legislature have to decide is, whether
they will be honest with the people
or ffagrantly false to their trust
But efforts have been made to bring
other questions to the front and thus
befog the main issue-common hon
esty.
One of the statements made is that
Governor Hiram Johnson has declared
himself against the direct primary
law of California. Just where this as
sertion came from we do not know,
But to secure Governor Johnson's
views there can be no better source
than his inaugural address.
If Hiram Johnson were opposed to
the direct primary law he would do
one OF two things, either condemn 1t
flatfootedy in his inaugural or forget
to mention it.
But Governor Johnson did neither
This is what he said, and the first SEN
tence knocks the wind out of every
claim presented in the name Of john
son, against the direct primary:
California took a long step toward
popular government when the direct
primary law was enacted.
"The first experiment under the di-
rect primary law has been made and,
despite the predictions of the cynical
and the critical, the law has been
success and has come to stay.
1T may, however, be improved in
many respects, and so recent has been
the discussion of the minor imper-
fections of the act that they are ia
lmiliar to us ALL and | think the de-
sire DIS general to remedy those de-
fects. 4.rs

JONES AND GREINER
MAKE A HIT AT BIJOU
> ssEgga xgxxxxxx !

Last nights change of program at
the Bijou served to introduce two real
good up-to-date comedians in Jones
and Greiner. The audience immedi-
ately put the seal of approval on
them, and they may be sure of a sue
cessful season at the Bijou. These
boys are clever, and their jokes are
OF the clean variety. Greiner is the
member with the voice while Jones
is the funny man, and uses his part
ner as a chopping block for his jokes.
Both of them are good. Jones is a
born comedian, and he begins to
raise laughs from the moment that he
comes on to the stage until he leaves
it. He has some rare humor, and his
Jokes have the decided merit of be-
ing new to Honolulu. He can tell
them too, and he has a clever way
of working the audience up and then
when there should be climax, he
introduces an anti-cimax He also
displayed some ability as a dancer.
This naturally was eccentric. These
boys are good, and are a decided ac

church in Honolulu. He was clear
thinker, patriotic at all times, thor

rather than attempt reformations by

"Of course the Constitution of the
United States requires that Unitet
States Senators shall be elected by
State Legislatures. Notwithstanding
the popular demand expressed now
for quarter of a century that United
States Senators should be elected by
direct vote of the people, we have beer
unable to amend the Federal Consti.
tuition; but the people in more than
half the States are striving to effect
the same result by indirection
"The result that our people, in COM
mon with those of most of the States
are seeking is to have the people
themselves elect United States Sen
ators | do not think it is extravagant
to say that nine electors out of ten
in California desire the electorate di-
rectly to choose United States SEN
ators, and if they possessed the pow
er they would remove the selection
wholly from the Legislature.
THE present primary law in it's
partisan features does not attain the
desired result. And the present law
in its provisions relating to United
States Senators is at variance with
the wishes of an overwhelming ma
jority of our people.
Il suggest to you, therefore, that the
present law be amended so that there
be Statewide advisory vote upon
United States Senator; and the logical
result of desire to elect United
States Senators by direct vote of the
people is that that election shall be of
any person who may be candidate,
no matter what party he bay be af-
filiated with.
For that reason, | favor the Ore
gon plan, as it is termed, whereby
the candidate for this office, as for
any other office, may be voted for, and
by which the candidate receiving the
no matter what party ne may be al
mately selected.
IF in your wisdom you believe we
should not go to the full extent ex-
pressed in my views, then, in any
event, the primary law should make
the vote for the United States SEN
ator Statewide and the vote of the
whole State, irrespective of districts,
controlling"
Hawaii in adopting the direct prim-
airy system should of course correct
the obvious shortcomings of laws that
have been tested in various States.
Enemies of the direct primary law
are usually enemies of popular gov
eminent, and it is we'll to bear in mind
that the corruptionists and the ma
nipulators of politics for private in
terests are the leading opponents of
the direct primary.

ARIZONA INDIANS
 vERSED IN THE LAW
They Know Their Rights as We'll as
 Their Privileges.

The recent preliminary examination at Mesa of a lot of Indians implicated in a conspiracy to forge, or as they admitted, in an educational movement to aid the merchants of Mesa and other towns of the valley to cut their com mercial eye teeth, brought out that they were also familiar with their rights under the law.
 While they had told the officers all that was really necessary for them to know and had even furnished a writ ten statement setting forth their &C., complishments, the justice of the peace at Mesa directed one of them to take the stand. Without waiting for the ad- vice of counsel he declined saying that he could not be compelled to say any thing that would tend to incriminate himself and that anything that he might utter would certainly have such a tendency
 Again the justice ordered him to take the stand and when he again refused. the magistrate threatened to commit him for contempt Thereupon Judge Goodwin who appeared for the defense said that it was immaterial whether the Indian testified or not as the defense would rely wholly on the question of Jurisdiction He suggested though that he could not see that any purpose would be served fin committing the In- dian for contempt inasmuch as he would be in jail anyhow until the be- : ginning of the October term.
 The Indians are enjoying themselves. , It is cooler in the jail just now than on the outside and they are looking for ward to their release in time for the territorial fair for they say they are aware that the beneficient federal gov ernment withheld from the territory the right to try them for the crime of forgery. They say that the only unfor- tunate thing about this whole affair is that the publicity of it will tend to destroy the confidence Of their white brethren in the commercial honesty of Indians and will make it more diff cult for them to get checks cashed.

H Busby of Kansas City, and Paul, Mary and Leslie Greenhaw
 MT Greenhaw was born in Uni iDn county, Arkansas. in 1S4s, and came to this valley when lad of 20, August IS. 1868, with the family of C H Gray, Mrs. Gray, who is still well known resident of Phoenix, be-
 ing his cousin. The arrival of the party here was practically at the beginning of the permanent settle ment and was sometime previous to the plating of the tOwnsite of Phoe- nix. when the few pioneers were grouped around the little patches of cleared ground a few miles east of the present site of the City of Phoe- nix
 MT Greenhaw has practically spent his entire manhood in this valley. as his excursions from it were short and infrequent and his energies were devoted almost solely to agricultural pursuits. He was one of the most successful farmers of the early days when the battle with the desert was strenuous and intending one and those who titled the soil had to de- pend solely on their own endeavors and the good luck that the seasons or the varying markets brought them.
 Though he has always taken an interest in public affairs as a citi- zen and a property owner in the county, MT. Greenhaw has never con- cerned himself greatly in political matters save to lend his influence to his friends and party favOrites, and so far as is recalled he has never held a political office. Never theless he has been regarded as one Of the representative men of the cOun- ty in the days of his activity and one whose friendship and advice in local affairs was often sought and always highly regarded. Until he ceased active work in recent years, by reason of i'll health. he was one of the best known men in the val ley and was highly esteemed by all Though passing down the sunset side of life. he was not yet of advanced age. and there are manv to mourn the shortening of his useful career
