locally with the issues involved. 1t
is doubtful if ten per centNof the vot-
ers of Hawaii know anything about
the essential principles of Repub,
liCanism or Democracy Most of them
belong to one party or the other
merely for what they or their friends
can get out of it, It is the job that
counts with them.
1t is the party idea that has been
responsible for the debauching of the
electorate, that has made it neces-
sary to spend immense sums of
money at each election money that
is virtually used to bride voters.
Isn't it about time we got away from
this outworn notion?
The Crossroads announced some
time ago that it stood not for parties
but for independence. Our motto IS,
may the best man win"
And the best way to carry this idea
into effect would seem to be the for,
nation of a citizens party, a party
that seeks only to elect to office hon
est, independent fearless and eff
cient men, Roth The Star and the
Advertiser have suggested the for
nation of such a party. If they will
work together and the men who are
sick of political rottenness will Join
in, Hawaii can redeem herself, Just
as San Francisco has done The
suggestion has been made. Who will
take it up?

BituIithiC
The Winner

BY unanimous vote, Arnold only
being absent, the board of supervisors
at noon awarded the Queen street
paving to the Bithulithic Paving and
Concrete Co., Jos. A. Gilman, presi-
dent and manager
Gilman's bid was not the lowest,
John Wilson and the Lord-Young COM
pany both having lower bids for other
forms of paving. Wilson's price for
the concrete was much higher indeed,
but there are only few spots of con-
crete to be renewed in the old road
bed Lord-Young wanted ninety days
to do the work, while Gilman asked
for only two weeks.
The contract is for 230A square
yards and Gilman's bid to lay Warren
bithulithic is $1.S5 a square yard and
So cubic yard for the concrete patch
work on the substructure. 1t is the
section of Queen street between Fort
and Richards which is to be repaired,
the old pavement being of bitumen
down seven or eight years.
In awarding the contract for bithu-
lithic the supervisors took cognizance
of the block of that pavement on Fort
between King and Hotel streets, laid
December last and showing good wear
ing qualities.

that such destructive agents must be
looked for in tropical countries, as
the fly itself is found only in the trop-
les or subtropics.
