stood that we of this territory have long ago
made up our minds to grin and bear it. The
mainland press finds some humorous elements
in the ruling, one paper pointing out that the
political managers have overlooked good thing
when they failed to seat delegates from the Ia
nal Zone, and another suggesting that the island
of Guam make demand for admission AT the
next national conventions.
Hawaii is just now arguing for diserimina-
ton in this matter Of admission of delegates,
at least our newly-hatched Progressives here are
sending representative to Chicago TO plead
that this territory be allowed To sit in the Ted
dy game. Their argument is that Hawaii is the
only territory in line for statehood. Whether
this will make Senator Dixon change his mind
or not is still to be seen. At any rate, Hawaii,
as usual, is demanding attention and getting it.

CONGRATULATIONS due SWEDEN

World-sport has been splendidly fostere,l by
the Olympic games that have just closed in Swe-
den The United States can afford to coneratu-
late the victor, Sweden, in the fullest sense of
hearty appreciation.
Reports from Stockholm are TO the effect that
the Swedes made a wonderful record for Them
selves in the preparation for and the carrying
out of the classic contests. They had every IA
cility for remarkable athletic performances, in
this respect excelling both France and Greece
in the past. Furthermore the spirit shown by
the people of Sweden was impartial and en-
couraging to all entries. The rules of sport
were strictly observed, but not arbitrarily adj
mnistered. For instance, when it appeared
that three American swimmers, among them
Honolulu's champion, Duke Kahanamoku, had
failed to swim in the 1OO-meter semi-fnals
through misunderstanding, the officials asked
the winners of the semi-final that it be SWIM
again in the interests of sport, and this was
done.
The United States swept all before it in the
contests in which the Stars and Stripes had en-
tries America really won the Olympic games,
although Sweden gets most points by the con-
testing of events,in which America did not en-
ter.
Sweden is comparatively young in internaf
tional athletics and it is great performance to
lead the nations of the world Cur athletes and
their performances are natural source of pride
to every American, and Sweden is to be eongrat-
ulated both for its fine conduct of the games
and for its men who surpassed all expectations
as individual performers.

Honolulu, T. H., July %, 1912.
Editor Star-Bulletin, Sir:
In reference to the several s6gges-
tons in your paper referring to Duke:
The idea of getting him a house is a
good one, but | would also like to sug-
gest this: The death rate at Waikiki
is altogether too high for such an i'm
portant watering place. Most any of
equal Importance has a Iife-saver.
Now what is the matter with creating
this position for Duke? He would be
an attraction, as he could give exhibit
lions of surfing and be on hand at all
times when people are in the water.
Besides he will soon again have to de-
fend his title and he in this manner
could keep on training and make a liv-
ing at the same time. They claim he
advertises the islands by his feats at
Stockholm. If so, presume the Pro-
motion Committee could pay part of
his salary and the parties that control
the beach and the city the balance.
Yours truly,
GEORGE C. YEO.

public service corporation refuses to
comply with the provisions in their
charter, besides taking the matter in
to the courts.
''Why does not the Board let the
Superintendent of Public Works take
up the paving proposition with the
Transit Company, and insist on the
fright of the Territory being observed
to the letter." inquired Low at the
gathering of city fathers last evening
Thesboard was without legal advice
last night, through the absence OF
Deputy Attorney Fred Milyerton, or
any representative from the city and
county attorneys department. They
therefore went ahead as best they
could and adopted two resolutions in
which the local street railway COM
pany was informed that'they would not
be enjoined in laying lava block pave
ment one foot on either side and be-
tween their tracks along that portion
OF Queen street that is now being paw,
ed with bitulithic, at the instance of
the city and county
Counter Proposition.
AS counter proposition to that Of
fered by Manager sBallentyne of the
Rapid Transit, the board finally
adopted a resolution to the effect that
as far as the King street stretch of
unpaved section was concerned that
they would insist upon strip of btu
lithic between the double track. That
portion of the right-of-way as lies be-
tween the rails is to be covered with
lava block as we'll as one foot on
either side of the outer edge of the
track.
Supervisor Murray fathered the res
olution, which insisted that the street
railway company use bitulithic over
a portion of the eighteen foot area
along King street from Nuuanu street
to the river.
1t is pointed out that while the COM
pany stood ready to lay a pavement
of ohia blocks, that to complete the
work with this material would require
a much longer time than if the lava
was employed. IA
Judging from the attitude taken by
several members on the board today,
there is a possibility that the munich
pal fathers may abandon any further
attempt to get together with the pub
lie service corporation in the matter
of paving.

GOING INTO ACTION


No more significant movement in politics has
ever developed in Hawaii than that forecast by
a meeting Of prominent Republican business
men held this morning
1t may be construed as an attack on Delegate
Kuhio, but such is not the ease. There is moth
ing behind this meeting but determination on
the part of local businessmen to end political
situation both in and out of the territory that
is fast growing intolerable
Hawaii cannot afford longer to give harbor
to personal fight that has grown into an as
sault on the prosperity of the territory.
Hawaii cannot afford to invest countless
thousands of dollars in local government that
fails to give adequate return for the money in
vested
This is the thing in a nutshell. 1t is the out
side and the inside view.
The action of the meeting this morning in
naming a committee to canvass the situation
and report back on a definite method for oppos-
ing the party controversy whose only result is
to weary the voter, is action to the point.
The instruction of the committee to report
back on a definite method for securing efficient
men for legislative and county Offices, is instruc-
ton to the point
The Star Bulletin believes that there is yet a
possibility of averting a disastrous fight which
would mean two Republican leaders opposing
each other in the fall campaign. But political
war or political peace, Hawaii has got to get
down to a business basis in its government, and
the way to do it is not the way of the lazy man
or the disguised man or the Indifferent man. 1t
is the way of the man who goes into politics as
he would 90 into his business cleanly, consci-
entiously, and with the high resolve to put be-
hind his purpose the same tenacious energy he
puts behind his business 1t is sgoing into ac
ticn'' as men go who win battles

TIPS ON TERRITORIES

Hawaiian citizens will be interested in learn
ing that a recent judicial decision in the Dis
trict of Columbia is interpreted generally as
placing Panama in the same category as this
territory.
The Des Moines Register editorially informs
its readers that Judge Stafford of the bench
of fbe District of Columbia has decided that
Panama is territory of the United States, on
the same footing as Porto Rico, the District of
Columbia itself, the Philippines, Hawaii and
Alaska.
Judge Stafford's decision was handed down
in a case involving application for extradition
of +. X Pison, formerly assistant postmaster
at Cristobal Pilson tried to escape returning
to the Zone by pleading that there was no treaty
with Panama providing for extraditon.
In ruling on the contention of Mr.. Prisons
counsel that the formal order of Congress as to
the lawmaking power in the Zone expired in
1905. Justice Stafford said that while this was
true. Congress- by appropriations and other
recognition, had ratified the present form of
government as effectively as if it had done so in
words He declared that the Canal Zone is a
ssferritory'' in the same sense as the island of
Porto Rico, and asserted that between districts
like the Zone and the District of Columbia, over
which the government has exclusive jurisdic-
fion. it would be improper for a United States
eourt to hold that the right of extradition did
not exist.
Hawaii's status is SO frequently misunder-

this fall, the man put UP by the re-
sponsible business elements and in

the race two years hence
Consideration counseled.
W. o. Smith counseIed full consider
atom before any action was taken,
stating that although Kuhio's attitude
is harmful to Hawaii's interests, he
has been hard party worker and done
much in Congress in the past
The committee of five later increas-
ed to seven, was then authorized by
vote of the meeting, and asked to take
up Immediately the canvass of the
deavor to talk things over with Dele
gate Kuhio and If he will recede from
his position there seems yet posi-
bility of compromise. However, the
business men do not propose to let
the Delegates controversy become a
platform issue this fall if it can be
avoided. =
The committee is to report back as
early as possible on some definite plan
that the. business interests and the
voters in general may follow which
will not mean disastrous attack on
local industry and which will bring
forward men for Office 1t was brought
out forcibly that the good men can
not afford to sit back and let politics
drift, and that even more important
than the delegateship is the duty of
getting efficient men for the legisla-
ture and the city and county positions.
