THE COTTRILL HAWAII APPOINTMENT

There is agitation akin to dismay

to name a negro, one w. ]. Lewis, of
Boston, an assistant district attorney.
Likewise, there is perturbation in Ha.
wall over the nomination of a negro

to be collector of internal revenue at
Honolulu. Instructive and traditional
antipathies are asserting themselves
in both cases and in no uncertain way
With all due respect to President
Taft, we think he is making a mistake
in these nominations. His wish to
recognize the colored race is proper
enough, but surely there must be some
way of doing it without offending sen

enclosing one from Col J. w. Jones,
of the Honolulu Lodge of the Order
of Elks, asking him to press button
to open the Elks' Carnival in Honolu-

implied in these nominations. This is
only another reason why they should
not be made If the negroes of the
country insist that somewhere in the
service of the government black men
shall be set over white men, it is only
because of an unworthy ambition to
see representatives of their race in
positions where they are unwelcome
and which they could never attain out
side the political sphere. This is not
a sentiment proper to be encouraged,
for it must be. remembered that the
possibilities of great mischief lie in
stimulating the pride and expanding
the pretensions of the black race, who
in large part are sunk in ignorance
and without the capabilities essential
to the discreet use of the political or
social powers which attach to official
sation.
If indeed the black race must be
recognized" politically, then let it's
representatives be given posts in
which they will not be placed over
white men, posts in which they may
serve without arousing antagonisms
which would best be allowed to lie
dormant. Certainly no good can come
to either race through a kind of mix
up which must inevitably put each in
a position of resentment against the
other.-The Argonaut

SMITH IN MERRITT CAMP
"Old Guard" May Try to Help
Former Assembly Clerk.

Ray g. Smith, former clerk Of the As
sembly. appeared Yesterday in the camp
that Asscmblyman Merritt has established
in the Murray Hin Hotel for the promotion
of his candidacy for Speaker. His appear
ance led to the report that he was candi-
date for clerk in the reorganized Assembly
II is not believed that Smith could win
fight for the place, but il is known that
Merritt would like 10 have him as clerk "
he gets the Speakership, as now seems
likely. The very fact that Smith aspires
10 return as clerk was taken as evidence
that the Merritt forces believe they are too
strong TO be successfully assaied.
While the Progressives have not been able
to unite on a man 10 oppose Merritt for
the Speakership. it is sure that they would
never consent 10 the rehabilitation of Smith
as clerk As matter Of fact. it has been
tactly understood that the clerkship should
20 to New York County.
The "old guard" has partly framed up
scheme TO give the clerkship TO William H.
en- Eyck, leader Of part Of the 32d Assem-
blv District. who can be counted as one Of
their few supporters In the New York
County organization. Samuel S. Koenig,
president of the New York County Com
mlttee. is not deceived by this move. and
il is understood will not permit Ten Evck
to be made clerk Of the Assembly as the
representative of the organization here.
Frank X Bowers, leader of the 30th Dis
trict. is the man who will probably have
the support of the organization for the As
sembly Clerkship.
