these provisos took the form of want
ing assurance that the action would
he really nOnpartisan and unbiased on
the part of the Federation.
Another striking thing noticeable
IN many Of the answers was that the
generally. but doubted their feasibl-
ity as applied to Hawaii and HonOlu-
In. This was noticeable in express
siOns Of opinion on commission form
of government. one Illuminating com
ment was to the effect that govern.
ment by commission is attaining least
success in municipalities whose prob.
lens are most like HOnolulu's as re-
CARDS races. A limited number IA
vored military government or sys-
TEN like that of the District of Column
bia.
The direct primary brought out q
fairly large majority, but there was
evident vast ignorance concerning
its exact workings aud its probable in
fuence here. Many of the replies
showed this lack Of knowledge
As to Candidates.
The most pronounced split in opin.
ion was on the two last propositions
those of the Federation examining and
, passing Judgment on candidates fol
political Office.
one man, who had evidently thought
over the subject good deal, proposed
this: in voting no to each of the
last two questions | wish to sugges,
that In my Judgment II would be bet
ter to secure statement from the
candidate and his party after nomina'
ton setting forth his fitness for the
Office to which he aspires. These
statements would be the basis of M
election among the members on the
candidates fitness, etc, along the
lines suggested by me to the execu'
tive committee some months ago. This
would bring out the candidates rec
ord over his own name, give him 9
chance to defend himself through al
! appeal to have his record investigated
etc, etc. by the executive committee
| before the election"
Others thought the Federation hat
no right to NEEDLE in such AFFAIRS;
others thought 1t had the right. bu
doubted IL an unbiased report coulC
be secured; others stood for making
public the records of candidates TO
Office but without comment or passinl
of Judgment.
In fact there was lively difference
of opinion, representing every shad'
of belief and disbelief, represented II

Federation taking an active part u
politics provided 1t could be fail
unbiased, impartial participation.

QUESTIONABLE" Shows Much
Difference OF Honest
Opinion.

Members Of the Civic Federation
are well divided on the general ques-
ton OF what the Federation should do
about politics. This result of the re-
cent set of questions submitted to a
mail vote was evident last night when
the Federation held its annual meet
ing, in Cooke hall Y. NJ. c. A. build
ing.
As forecast In the Bulleti n yes
torday In advance of the meeting, ev-
cry question submitted was given a
majority vote OF yes" but In two
cases the vote was well divided
Results.
The results of the questionable, as
tnbulated ana read to the meeting last
as follows:
Are you In favor of eliminating
political parties from our municipal
elections and voting on personal quail
ihCations and local issues only? A.
Yes, l2O; no. 4; in doubt, I; not vot-
ing, /.
Are you in favor of the commits.

that is government by commissioners
elected by the people, such as is in
use In many American cities? A
Yes, 9S; no, 81; in doubt. s; not vot-
ing, 2
3-Are you in favor of the direct
primary? A.-Yes, "a; no, 10; in
doubt. l2: not voting, 10.
I-Do you think the executive COM
mittee of the Federation should en-
anime and publicly pass judgment on
the public records and qualifications
Of candidates for Office? Ayes, SO:

mirtee of the Federation should exam.

dates for office. passing no Judgment
upon their records or qualifications?
Ayes, 20; no. 80; in doubt, 4 not
voting %.
The Federation took no action on
the questionable and its results. The
report was read, together with a num-
her of comments gathered by Mr.
bryan from the replies sent back, and
it was proposed to open the matter tC
discussion. but the meeting had SC
much business that not until after II
o'clock could discussion be had ant
then the members preferred to post

Some forty members were presen
last night. The meeting was yer,
interesting one. and most interesting
were some of the comments on tn
questions that had been submitted.

on the first question, for instance
one man wrote: ILLUMINATION of pO
litical parties means danger to Hn
waiians. Political parties control then

favored 1t as O general proposition

GERMS SPREAD IN SKIN

Eczema, Psoriasis, and other skin
trUubles are caused by myriads of
germs at work in the skin. Unless
these germs are promptly destroyed
they rapidly multiply, gnawing their
way deep into the sensitive tissue.
This is what causes that awful itch,
and what seemed Il mere rash may
grow worse and develop into loath-
some and torturing skin disease with
its years and years of misery.
Don't take any chances! Destroy
the germs at the beginning of the
