Know Why
Must Stop Dallying

The citizens of this Island at the
present moment are very much in
terested in the fate of the appro-
priation passed by the Legislature
for a wharf at Hanalei,
For a number of Sessions an APP
preparation, or bill, has been under
consideration for the purpose of
erecting a wharf at this famous
beach, but not withstanding the
reputation of our Kauai Legis-
lators and their ability to do
things" until the last Session
they were certainly done. out OF
landing the means to provide for
its construction.
Within the last two years the
necessity for this wharf has be-
come even more apparent and
urgent. All former objections to
it's construction having been met,
it was hoped that by providing for
it's erection out of the general ap-
preparation bill, next winter would
find Hanalei with its long over
due wharf.
Recently the reports that have
come from the Capitol by word of
mouth, and newspapers, in refer
ence to many public questions, are
of such a nature as to cause us
Garden Islanders to drop our hoes
long enough to listen for not only
the buzz of the Mediterranean fly,
but with ears to the ground to get
a line on whittier the course OF
Empire is tending.
We are told that our high Off
cials are contemplating an attempt
to thwart the will of the people as
expressed by their representative:
in Legislature assembled.
Being simple rural people, We
are inclined to doubt the existence
of any grounds to warrant ever
the intimation of such goings on
at time in this political age whei
the primary law, the initiative, re
ferendum and recall are meanacinl
the downfall of anyone or any
thing which is not of the people
by the people and for the people.
Just when we expected to hea
of plans and contemplated actio
favorable to the construction i
the near future of the Hanale
wharf, we are informed by tn
papers that the Hon. Marsto
Campbell, the Superintendent c
Public Works, has gone for
much needed vacation" to hi
old home in Oakland where he
going to loaf and fish off tn
long wharf" and that the Cover
nor had asked him to hold up tn
Hanalei wharf while he wa
holding down the Oakland whal
with the fishing pole he manipr
lated so adroitly during the la'
session of our Legislature.
He told the Frisco papers tn;
he was the right hand man c
the Governor" but failed to mel
ton the modesty which prevente
him from letting the left han
know what was the right hand di
at times.
The other day, having bee
iolted from the consideration I
affairs of State to make a close IL
spection of our fruit for the pr
sence of the dreaded fly from Il
regions of Monte Carlo, we WEI

All of which leads us to remal
that if the Acts of the Legislatu
can be held up, held back or he
down by the Governor of the TIE
ritory, our delegate to WashinatC
or the Superintendent of Publ
Works, we can appreciate the fee
