PARTY RESPONSIBILITY.

The suggestion that primary elec- tions be held in the various cities of the state to determine through this method who Of the democrats shond receive the appointments of postmas ter. and other government places, ia rather fareial.
 TO conduct such q special primary election would come about as near covering the situation as 10 fitness and qualification as II South Sea Islander were made Secretary Of State.
 Some particularly effective and ef- ficiant ward heeler with a bundle cf one dollar bills in his pocket would reap a harvest of days work well done, and democracy would be cx- peeted to applaud.
 Of course there is a reason why the ward heeler's effectiveness would prevail in such an instance, and that reason is because the vote would be light to offset it. The solid citizen- ship probably would not vote.
 The democratic party has been put in power There was never time h the history Of this government when the appointive changes were so few. Cur civil service extension has era ated this condition. Good men in nj nor places are protected against change of administration.
 For the heads of departments, the new democratic administration ought to be- able to find good men. and thai without effort If the appointment. are to be considered from those vii, had the strongest lungs before and af ter election, they wont be hard tt pick If the appointments are to 5t made from men qualified through abl ity and integrity they can also p' easily selected

nothing.
A tall, stopped man in a blue pajama-like
suit, a wisp Of gray pigtail hanging below
his battered straw hat, passed slowly down
the road. There was a wooden movement
about his legs. He was not the spry China

HONOLULU CORRESPONDENT !.
SEES MENACE in MORMONISM

Bishop ILLS of the Episcopal Church
sid yesterday to The Times cores
pendent:
Hawaii is credited with many me
naces, Industrial and martial. all the
way from strikes among plantation
laborers to war with Japan; but there
has not occurred in the history Of the
islands a more terrible menace than
this Mormon scourge, which not only
threatens but is actually fostering in
the moral. and political body of the
Territory. The cancer had its begin
ming a long time ago with the distri-
button broadcast Of Mormon literature
but only within few years have there
been jealous elders among the people,
sent here by, the Mother Church in
Utsh. At first they worked secretly
and did not call themselves Mormons;
but within two or three years they
have become so strong in those Temot-
er regions where the white man is in
very small minority that they have
come out not only openly, but aggres-
siyely for Mormonism and polygamy.
From the natives 1t has spread to
the Chinese, Japanese, and even to
some extent among the Russian and
Portuguese plantation laborers, so
that today 1t is positive disease, eat-
ing into the vitals of the non-whlte
races.
Il feel that all militant Christianity,
and. In particular, the churches of the
United States, should take up this
great matter without delay and bring
TO the attention of the National au-
thorities by Letter, through the press,
and by personal work on he part OF
members of Congress this Ubiquitous
state of Affairs,
"A hundred years ago New England
sent her first missionaries to these Is
lands, and the good accomplished by
them and the noble men and women
that followed from that time up to
the present, has been incalculable. The
natives were lifted from a state of the
lowest morality to comparatively
high plane. Churches and schools
were established; marriage was taught
to be a sacred institution, and that
lax morals were contrary to the health
of body as well as soul And now all
this splendid work is to be overturned
and destroyed by these much-wived
elders from Utah,
Prosecution Urged.
Some of them, as have positive
proof, with wives in Utah. have mar
ried one or more native women here.
Will they be prosecuted i'm the cojurtse
You may rest assured they will be-
There will be many brought into the
courts at the same time and properly
dealt with. ON this score I am fully
convinced"

.POPE'S REPORT
SHOWS ACTIVE
YEAR in SCHOOLS

In the annual chool report of Edu-
cSti0nal Superintendent Pope which
was submitted to the governor yester.
day afternoon is the statement thai
the past year has been the mos active
OF any in the history of the Terrific
rial schools.
The report which fills sixty pages
Of typewriter manuscript treats fully
OF the finances, high schools, changes
in the department. reports, Libraries,
and the new vocational school plan.
1t also contains statistics OF number
of teachers employed. and pupils en-.
rolled.
There are attending schools in the
Territory, 20 500 pupils of which 6i57
areenrol'ed in the private schools.
Japanese come first with S,36s, Portu-
guese next with 42l4, Hawaiians
third. and ritish last. There are 45S
American pupils.
Speaks of Epidemics.
In his report, Mr. Pope said, in part:
During the year there have been
several epidemics in various localities.
These have interfered somewhat with
the good attendance of the schools but
there has undoubtedly been less sick
ness affecting the school attendance
this year than during the preceding
year. Throughout the entire year the
attendf nee has been unusually good
and the term reports show a number
of schools with almost perfect attend
ance. This is undoubtedly due more
to the improved system of supervi-
sion thansa anything else.
THE enrolment has steadily in
creased throughout the year as indi-
Gated by the term reports The schools
of almost every district have increas-
ed their enrolment and aside from
number of new schools having been
established, additional room has been
secured in various ways and every
available space allowed 70 fill the
greatest capacity.
Efficiency improved.
Much effort has been put forth by
