LITTLE INTERVIEWS

CHARLES CHILLINGWORTH - |
shall certainly support the enactment
of a direct primary Law BY the next
Legislature.
A. V. GEAR was not correctly
quoted about the election OF a preSi-
dent in the event of a deadlock. What
said was that the Senate, if the
House failed to elect the president,
would have to elect the vice president,
who would be president to fill the va
cancy. But | did not say that the Sen
ate would so elect Taft
INSPECTOR GIBSON-The trouble
with local politics is the same expe-
rienced in every large city on the
mainland-the average citizen is too
lazy to come out and vote, but prefers
to turn the polls over to the bosses.
and then, when a lot of inefficient
officials are put in power, the same
average citizen sits back and says
that the country is going to the dogs.

THE TRUTH ABOUT MAGDAlENA BAY

Congresses somewhat hasty rush to pass the
Lodge resolution reaffirming the Monroe doc
trine and thus giving unexpected credit to the
sensational story of a deal for tract of land on
AIagdalena Bay by a foreign power, has been
followed by dark hints 'enlanating from the
statesmen at Washington that Japan is not the
power against whose encroathments yelled warn
ings were issued. :s<
When the Lodge resolution was WhOOped
through amid burst of patriotism and full
checked oratory, William Randolph Hearst,
whose bright young reporters had been sent
shopping around Magdalena Bay and writing of
the imminence of japanese invasiOn,-this same
Hearst and other publishers broke into tall head
lines and black print in jubilation of the neat
way in which the enemy had been foiled. The
esenemy" was then no other than Japan
Since that time, it is coming to the surface
that neither the state department nor the admin
istration has entertained any suspicious Of ia
nan. and presumably Senator Lodge has not,
either. Utterances on this subject in the Wash
ington papers and in other papers. with CORE
spondents at the national capital have evi icntly
heen indorsed at the White House. Thus the
ashington Star remarks that there is ''suspl-
on felt in some quarters that the real tagret of
e senate resolution is not Japan, but one of
e great European powers, which has been ad-
,ncing with giant strides to ranking place

4 PLANK FOR WHARF IMPROVEMENT

Maui's request for action on wharf construc-
ton at Kihei and Kahului emphasizes the fact
that the development of territorial wharves has
just begun, and that the next two years should
see far more accomplished than has been accom-
plished in the present twoyear period, =
The board of harbor commissioners, created
BY the legislature of 1911, has done and is doing
sterling work. but there is a tremendous amount

threshed out and settled, and the plan for local
improvements is well under. way, but many
other spots in the territoryss immense seafront7
are need attention. Maui deserves early and
thorough consideration; in Hawaii and Kauai
are towns rapidly growing UP which must be
giyen facilities for inter-island commerce
Upon the legislature of 1913 rests the respon-
sihiiity of providing adequate funds for the har-
bor commissions work for the next two years.
The campaign for Legislative office is now on
Every candidate for the house and the senate
should. and we believe will, recognize the vital
Importance of giving the territory adequate
wharfage for the commerce already doubling al
most overnight and which will triple overnight
with the opening of the Panama canal.
One of the planks in the Republican terri
torial platform should be plank pledging mem.
bers of the legislature to provide funds for the
harbor commissions work. When the legisla-
tors are elected, there ought to be no question
that they will incorporate in the loan appropria-
ton bill an item carrying an amount of money
that will allow the harbor board to go full steam
ahead with its constructive plans

in the surrounding mountains by the
Second Infantry, and the results of
this work have been carefully mapped
and compiled.
The decision of the army defense
board relating to roads is by far the
most important action taken, from the
standpoint of the general public. The
roads will be under military care and
supervision, but they will be open to
the people of the island, subject to
certain restrictions in the way of traf-
kfic, and the money spent by the Unit
ed States government will pay direct
dividends to Hawaii.

When Major-General Arthur Muir

vision and former Chief of Coast Ar.
.tiIlery of the army visited Oahu last

Chauncey Thomas, on the flagship

cruise with him by special permits.

effectiveness. \
1t was then announced that Oahu
was to be girdIed by a chain of de-
fensive Notifications. That mortars,
those bulldogs of modern ordnance,
were to play the most important part
in the general scheme, and that they
would bark defiance ana destruction
at any hostile ships that might at
tempt to cover the landing Of an
armed force on the island. Military
roads were 10 play leading part in
this defensive plan, and it now seems

men available, for, the detail have
fallen in with General Murray's ideas,

WILL ASK NEW BIDS -Ia ..~.
ON ROCKY HILL RESERVOIR

Marston Campbell, superintendent
OF public works, today rejected all
the bids for the contract of construct
ing the Rocky Hill reservoir, and will
:eadvertise the job, opening new bids
for the work September IL. The low
est bid. that of the Lord-Young En-.
cheering Company, was $4,000, or
about $4,000 more than the amount Of
the last reservoir contract previously
given.
1t is understood that the rejected
bids are too high, in the Superintend
ent's opinion. and that the readver-
tisement is made in the hope that
lower figures may be obtained, either
from the recent bidders or from new
concerns.

The same paper points out that this power must

Other illusions, while almost mysterously
yelled, point with more definfteness at Germany
as the probable target Of this resolution. En-
phasis is lent to the situation and to Uncle Sam $

sion as to Germany's active advance in matters
military and her preparations for great navy.
At any rate, the new affirmation of the
Lodge resolution will not be misunderstood by
any power which may be looking toward Mag

THE MAKING OF THE PRESS

Newspapers are what the people make them,
in the opinion of DIR. George E. Vincent presl-
dent of the University of Minnesota. The fact
that Dr. Vincent used to be reporter and for
many years taught course in journalism at the
University of Chicago makes his words of more
value than the ordinary attacks on the press,
with which every newspaperman is familiar
DR.. Vincent has no illusions that the Amer
lean press is infallible. He also knows from
personal experience that the majority of readers
Of anv given paper, providing that paper is
"making good, are being supplied with the kind
ofreading they want. 1t is simple enough; the
manor would not live under contrary circum-
stances.
All of this leads this eminent educator, one
of Americas most brilliant speakers and think
ers, to say:
"The shortcomings of the press are the prod
ucts of our national life for which all of us must
assume our share of responsibility. Whatever
may be the final outcome, it is safe to predict
that for another generation or two the press will
remain privately owned public function I'M
provement will come through many forces.
"The American press reflects the life of all of
us, and it affects the life of all of u.s. We must
all share the common task of raising slowly
courageOusly this life to higher level
of truth, of justice, of good will. We, the peO-
pie, make the press what it is. The press can
help us to make it and all our national institu
tions more nearly what they should be-
