LETTERS ON
TIMELY TOPICS

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin. Sir:
1t is most welcome piece OF news
TO hear that the armory Is to be built
right away, for not on,y is this build
ing badly needed for military purposes.
but some such building has long been
needed for many other purposes.
Mr.. Marston Campbell had this want
in view when he planned the struc-
ture. and it was his idea to make il
large enough to be used, NOT only for
military purposes, but for great social
functions. concerts, .etc.
His plan was to have.a building that
would not only be useful. b,Ft orna-
mental as well. and that Il should have
galleries. hardwood floor and a. seating
capacity OF not less than for the ac-
commodation of $500 people.
This plan. it is the consensus of
opinion. should be adhered to. even If
II can not all be undertaken at the
present time.
No one can doubt that such a struc-
ture is needed in Honolulu and will
sooner or later have to be built, and
in this way two birds would be killed
with one stone. Very truly,
GEO. OSBORNE.

BOND GUARANTEE
NOT NECESSARY,
SAYS v. A. WALL

"The bill is before Congress nowfi
but we are paying no regard to it at
ALL said William a.. Wall this after
noon with reference to- the measure
that passed the 1911 Legislature an,
thorizing the Territory to guarantee
the bonds of any railway that would
open up undeyeloped territory-or
something to that effect.
Mr.. Wall was speaking for the Kona
Railroad ann Land Company, of which
he is the first:hamed among the pro-
motors in its franchise. While he
spoke as if the Bond guarantee would
be good thing for the company, he
intimated plainly that it was not nee
essary to the starting of operations
for building the road.
The company has a franchise and
is incorporated under. 1T, and all it
has to do is to go ahead and build :
that is. providing the mterltrises can
be; financed. .ss 80 III
Mr.. Wall was being; questioned by q
Star-Bulletin man regarding state
,ment in the morning paper that j.
Mel augl1lin, al prOmoter of Springfield,
Illinois, was here aiid yesterday Sc
cured an option on a controlling in
terest of the capital stock of the rail
road company just mentioned.
Met Mclaughlin Once. q ST.
81 have only met Mr., Mclaughlin
once, when 7 was sintf9dAced to him, >
said Mr.. Wall, Tbut liad mo conNersa-
ton what ever with him about the
Kona railroad. If he has the controls
ing interest, as perhaps he has, he
must have secured the option from
some of the other stockholders. j
must refer you to Mr.. Mclaughlin
himself on that question, and on his
plans with regard to tie enterprise.
Mr.. Wall said the road would be a
standard-gauge steam railroad, the
same as the Hilo railroad 1t would
not take in the Kona plantation rail-
road, as he was informed some, peo-
pie supposed.
To Be rs Miles Long.
The line will be seventy six miles in
length, traversing the North and
South Kona coast and having mari
time outlet at Kealakekua Bay. Mr..
Mclaughlin is quoted as saying that,
according to estimates of engineers,
the permanent way complete with
rails can be. built at an average cost
of $4,000 mile, against from 100000
to $4,000 a mile that the Hilo rail-
road extension is costing.
1t will develop much agricultural
land, the area of which, within its
t. attic sphere, will befgreatly inereas-
ed with the opening of the Kau irriga-
ton ditch. There is also great deal
of marketable timber along the route.
Mr. Mclaughlin is further quoted as
entertaining hopes of having the pro-
jected line of steamers between San
Francisco and Manila make Kealake-
kua its calling port in these islands if
the road be constructed. He is also
said to have fixed on the first of Janu-
airy next for having locomotives hum
ming on the track, his purpose being
to secure forthwith the requisite capi-
tai for construction in New York.

A PLAIN ROAD TO HARMONY

4 = En-
Out of the bitter controversy over the gov
ernorship are emerging certain facts in a
stronger and stronger light that cannot
and must not be forgotten, facts that must be
weighed now
Greatest of all is the fact that Hawaii can
not afford to carry the fight over the governor
ship into the fall campaign
The vital issue in Hawaii is to get clean,
capable men for the senate, the legislature, the
boards of supervisors. In Honolulu municipal
Offices must be filled by men in every sense of
the word
The Star Bulletin has good reason to affirm
that if Delegate Kuhio will eliminate and he
can eliminate-the Frear controversy from the
fall campaign, this vital issue of capable men
for local government can be carried forward to
success. - -
If party leaders, men of responsibility, on
both sides of the controversy, will step from I'M
der the cloud of personal sanimosities, and will
take stand for territorial platform that shall
contain no reference to the controversy and
nothing to keep that controversy alive, then the
basis of harmony, of progress, Of political JUS
tice moral right and territorial welfare is
reached
The delegates services in the past, his rec
ord in the Republican party, his knowledge of
Washington affairs, his strength with the
voters his sincerity, his ability as fighter, en-
title him to consideration from the territory
He is entitled to support if this controversy is
eliminated, in good faith and thoroughly, from
the fall campaign and from the territorial plat
form.
Free the platform from this disastrous fight;
spend the partys strength and energy on nom
mating and electing men of character and
brains; leave the personal issue, the Frear Ku-
io issue, to the investigation that the president
has promised and that Secretary Fisher will
carry out! M
Il. w. Shingles statement today ought to
meet with general approval 1t is open-minded
and fair. The danger to Hawaii cannot be met
by inaction, nor can the prosperity of this ter:
ritory be served by Republicans who are quit
tiers, who are willing to throw up their hands
and let the bro Of party affairs drift into worse
things.
Here is definite basis for harmony: drop
the governorship fight from the campaign, elm
mate any reference to this issue from the plat
form, unite then for men who will give the good
local government that both sides know is the
greatest issue in Hawaii.

CANAL POLITICS THE DANGER

Another landslide has slid into the CulebraI
cut, but that isn't worrying the Panama Canal
engineers They have plenty of time to finish
the canal as promised, even with the landslide
to contend with
What worries the men who are spending mil
lions in preparation for the canal opening in
1913 is that the house committee on appropria-
tions cut the allowance for canal work almost
in half, looping off $16,7SO,0O0. and leaving but
SIS, 100000 The senate is trying to repair this
damage, according to late reports, but the men
ace is in the expressed attitude of the house
It's Democratic house, of course, and the
American people are patient under political
acts that no other civilized country would en-
iure The slash in the canal appropriation was
purely political; the Democrats made a fake
pretense of economizing; they wished to dis
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1912-07-19

credit the Republican administration, and they
did it so blunderingly that were it not for the
seriousness of their blunder it would be laugh
able
The spectacle Of the Democratic house hold
ing back important an improvement as the
Panama canal ought to be the political death
blow for most OF the Democrats who are run
ming the house But it won't. OF course the
senate is repairing the break, and the canal
work will not be hampered as much as the Dem
ocrats would hamper it. This is sample of
the "constructive.statesmans that the bald
eagle orators of Democracy are praising from
every stump they can mount with their. ire
sponsble feet.

CAPITALIzINd THE AIR

Americans are so accustomed to reading of
aviation only as the cause of terrible accidents
that it is rather staggering to learn what strides
toward the utilitarian the art of flying has
reached in other lands.
Count Zeppelin, abandoning the field of
speed-contests for the less picturesque but far
safer field of sober industry, has steadily pro-
crossed with the dirigible balloon until recently
the airship service from Frankfort to Dussel-
dorf has become as well-regulated as any steam
err or train-service 1t is surprising to read in
the Scientific American an account of journey
by one of these dirigibles, and to hear of pas
sengers coming aboard with heavy coats and
satchels, equipped for a long journey, The large
dirigibles are now carrying. wirel less equipment.
The cabins are finished in handsome woods and
we read that the interior much resembles that
of some palatial steamer, while the steady
movement of the vessel, now and then buffeted
by gusts of wind, is more than anything else
reminiscent of voyage at sea.

Catholic Scholarships Founded.-To
encourage higher education among
the English-speaking Catholics OF
Montreal, the st. Patrick's Society, at

three scholarships open for compe.

nine Catholic parishes. The schol-

The Hon. James A. Flaherty, Supreme

will shortly tour the councils of West.

The Winnipeg knights are making
elaborate preparations for the recep'

it is probable they will also celebrate

of the foundation stone of the new
Columbus Hall on Smith Street, which
will shortly be built at an estimated
cost of $4,000.
Hibernian Generosity.-An endoW-

James B. Sheehan was authorized to
name a committee which will meet
soon for the purpose of carrying out
the organizations intentions. The
Duuuesne university is in charge OF
the Fathers of the Holy Ghost Order.
