MOON DAY. is
CELEBRATED
CHINESE, -. . .

The stranger who wandered through
the streets Of Chinatown yesterday
would feel himself out of place, not
knowing the significance of the. rails
ing of the five-Striped flag, the EN-
blem Of the Chinese Republic. 1t
was a holiday for the Chinese COM
munity, for according to the old Chi
nese calendar it was the fifteenth
day of the eighth moon, a day always
observed by the Chinese of all classes.
Like the Roman of the olden days,
the Chinese celebrated this great
moon festival, their most notable day
after "Konohi." The feasts cost even
more than the Thanksgiving or Christ
mas dinners.
Elaborate preparations had been
made to usher in this day. Little All
Chong and little Miss Sui Ian had
saved up their nickels and dimes
months ahead so that they could get
a box of fancy moon cakes, contain
ing almonds, melon seeds, mince meat
or sailed eggs. During the day the
Chinese children in the schools were
thinking of The candies, the chick
ems, ducks and fish that they were to
enjoy at table last night. After a
short serriOn, the Chinese schools
closed mp. for the teachers wanted
lay-Off
TOO much holiday. too much lose
money" said an old-time Chinese mer-
chant last evening after he had tie

CONFIDENCE IS LACKING

3 IlUn0luuS confidence that tn" present trend
of local politics is guarantee Of progressive
government for the city will not be strengthened
by the Democratic nominations made yesterday,
and there is spirit Of strong discomfort among
many good citizens with the situation it
stands today, both parties having put up their
tickets.
Part of this situation is due IT, the business
men themselves, for the Republican convention
found several good candidates unable or unwil-
ing to run, and at the last moment plans were
shifted and weaker men accepted Part of tn"
situation is due to the fact that the choosing of
the whole ticket WAS in the hands of few men,
and tactical mistakes were made in the of
their power. One Of these tactical mistakes was
the brusque way in which a large body of de-
serving Republicans in a certain precinct were
treated by the political dictatorS Of the hour.
The trades and bargains of the Republican
convention were duplicated in the trades and
bargains of the Democratic convention, and it
is probable that many responsible citizens who
read today the ticket that the Democrats put up
will change their minds about contemplated
shift of allegiance from the G. o. p. to BOur
bonism.
Both the Republican and Democratic leaders
ought to recognize and probably do, that the
day is passing in this community when nominal
tons for. office are to be made under the conven
ton system. The two county conventions and
their results ought to make absolutely certain
the passage of a direct primary law by the next
legislature.
Already there is talk that the Republican di-
rect primary pledge is to be forgotten" To
those Republicans who are able to reconcile
their consciences to such a course, the STAR
BULLETIN would say here and now that the peo-
pie of this city are in no mood to forget the
pledge, nor to allow it to be broken again.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-A happening of significance
came under my observation recently,
and, to my mind, goes to show to what
an extent Japan has us down pat"
Last Sunday | had occasion to visit
a Japanese contractor on Liliha street
in regard to some stOnework that
wanted done. l tried to describe the
location of the proposed work, which
is in Kaimuki The Japanese con-
tractor at once produced map of that
section of the city, embracing every
thing from Moiliili to Diamond Head,
and on which | pointed out the loca-
ton of my lot. That was all right, but
the queer part of it was that it was
complete in every detail, of all public
buildings, hotels, forts, reservoirs. etc,
and was all printed in Japanese with
the exception of the names of the
streets, and at the bottom of the map
was the caption MADE IN JAPAN

DEMOCRATIC COMPROMISE NOT PEACE

Although a sop thrown to the anti-Jar-
rett men i'm the county and district conventions
yesterday, the Democrats have no reason to
feel particularly elated over the outcome of the
day A fairly good senatorial ticket, from the
Gratis of a Republican district, was secured at
the cost of alternating strong Democratic fol-
lowing i'm another district
The Fifth district, supporting Noah AIui for
the senate was beaten by the Jarrett cOmbina-
ton, four votes making possible the nomination
of A. J. Writ. The anti.Jarrett element,
though beaten two to one in the county cOnven-
tion, had better than even break yesterday so
far as the Fifth district is concerned, and it is in
the Fifth district that the bulk of the Demo-
cratic vote for this fail is to be found.
The SOP thrown to the ant-Jarrptt men was
the nomination of Gabriel keawohaku from the
Fourth district and Jack kalakiela from the
Fifth district for the House of Representatives.
Neither of these men can, 10y any stretch of the
Imagination, he called desirable candidates.
This sop was not enough for the antl-Jarrett
men, and their bitterness shown plainly
when the senatorial fight in progress and
precinct after precinct of the Fifth cast Il solid
vote for Aluli and pollcrl blanks on the other
) candidates, with the obvious intention Of assur-
ing AluliS nomination without regard to the
other men.
The Fifth district right now is in a state of
political chaos far aS the Democrats are con-
cerncd. More than dozen of the disgruntled
anti-JarIptt men walked out of the convention
yesterday and others stayed only to see that cer-
tain nominations were made. These are not
likely to support the Democratic ticket this fall.
From political standpoint, the SuperviSorial
ticket is not built to secure the Hawaiian vote,
there being an overwhelming "ha"le character
i'm it's makeup, and already some of the Hawaii
ans are complaining that they were ignored.
Whether this feeling grows or subsidies remains
to bc seen
A few leading Democrats, realizing that TN"
general political situation Just now gives them
a chance to elect good many men this fall tried

t" carry through a compromise plan, but it WAS
largely Il failure The ant-Jarrrtt element
wanted more than the Jarrett element would
concctlr, and while the ticket as it stands is IA
kind of compromise. it is not a strong combinl-
ton Of forces. The result is far from fattering
to Democratic success in November

controlled from the Fourth district absolutely.
