SANE FOURTH IDEA
TOOK EIGHT YEARS
TODEVEtOP FULLY
Sentiment Against Noise
and Explosives Shows
Steady Growth.

There have been four Official cele-
brations of the Fourth in Washington.
This years is called the third safe and
sane Fourth because 1t was not until
1908 that the institution was regarded as
being permanently established.
The first official celebration was in
1903. 1t was not altogether a success
1t indicated the growth Of the people
wish that the greatest day in their his
tory should be less noisy and dangerous,
but the response to the sentiment was
not general. The Commissioners of the
District, who inaugurated the move
ment, were forced to believe that the
safe and sane Fourth was something
that could not then be had.
Opening District Building.
The idea was set aside for five years.
The Commissioners in 1905 got up an
other official celebration and connected
it with the opening of the District
building. 1t was a great success. They
got the building open with due formal
ity and ceremony, had a celebration OF
Independence Day that delighted the
people of the District, and established
the fact that for celebrative purposes
noise and fire and smoke were prac-
tically things of the past except when
used in an orderly and esthetic man
ner. They proved that the things for
celebration are properly modutated
sounds and artistically arranged colors,
and words of patriotic cheer and hope.
The Commissioners made the safe and
sane Fourth permanent institution IN
the following year. They prohibited the
salF and use of fireworks in the Dis
trict by any person other than duly au-
thorized committees representing public
celebrations.
First "No Damage" Celebration.
A committee, which, changing in per-
scnnel without changing in authority
and purpose, has acted in succeeding
years, was appointed, and 1t successfully
consummated a complete program for
the Fourth in 1909. For the first time
there were no disasters to life and prop
erty resultant from the celebration of
the Fourth.
The 1909 celebration comprised the
same features of the 1910 celebration,
and the same as those planned for
Tuesday. There were band concerts
and the setting off of fireworks by duly
appointed agents and numerous athletic
events. The 1910 celebration was even
better than the preceding one. 1t
again saved life and property, and
again gave pleasure to the people
The Commissioners and the commit
tee believe they have good auguries for
Tuesday, they said today.

Go slow in tying up with any other
community. Hawaii has an individ-
uality that should be preserved. 1t is
good business to preserve it. And there
is no time more appropriate for that
individuality to be made impressive
than during the Panama-Pacifc Ex-
position. Half the people in the
States think of Hawaii as nearer the
Philippines and the Orient than San
Francisco. Do you want to intensity
that error by hitching Hawaii's Elk
position wagon up to the star of the
Philippines? We love the Philippines
but we should be fools indeed 20 go

TALKING OF OUR ROADS.

Superintendent Marston Campbell is represented in the
morning paper as telling the people of this city and county
how to build roads.
Perhaps the Superintendent of Public Works knows more
about than those who have the matter in charge but we
doubt it. So does most every one.
The fact of real Importance is that the official of many
titles has more than enough to do in mndng his own bust
ness without wasting any Of that valuable tme for which
the taxpayers are supplying the funds trying to tell the city
government how to run its affairs.
An official or department that has the record of the Nu
anu DAM the effort to raise the water rates of the city of
Honolulu while one was looking and any similar operations
that worked out increased taxation for the people of the
Territory and Honolulu houSehoders may be excused from
troubling his head about how the roads of this city and coun
ty are handled
There no department of the Territorial government that
is more deserving the undivided attention Of the LegisIa

Public Works preSdes with much talk and freedom of re-
suits.
Certainly that is the last department to which the Legsa

After quoting the letter recently adj
dressed to Secretary Meyer by the
words in the general order:
"A public reprimand is hereby adj
ministered to Commander w. S. Sims,

ness of the offcnse is so clearly set
forth in the above quoted communlca-

dictate to the naval service the lack
