THE SALOON IN POLITICS.

Editor Honolulu Star.Bulletin,
Sir: Do the delegates composing
the convention know that If they Sc.
leet a liquor man to run on the Re
publican ticket for the position of SUI
peryisor they are only counting de
feat to him, and the election of q
gentleman from another party? The
anti-saloon men and other good citi
zens have kept out of politics so far
but they will not go blindly to the
polls on election day and vote for any
liquor man for any office, irrespect,
i've of party.
If Mr.. Bratlett is named by the Re.
publicans for the position of super,
visor, he will not be elected. An or
ganized effort will at once be made
against him, and the Democrats can
count on the election of one man at
least. Those interested In the sale
Of liquor as is Mr.. Bartlett cannot and
should not expect the good people OF
Honolulu who are favorable to the
restriction in the sale Of the article
to sit blindly by and see him elected
to so important position. Such men
"a III SliC W SONCIHs OuE CITY
and make laws for us, no matter what
qualifications otherwise. There is no
objection to the man who drinks, but
the man directly in the business the
man who is interested only in the
quantity he can put out, regardless to
whom cannot be elected even though
nominated. So, gentlemen, do not
court defeat by nominating such p
man.
The Star Bulletin is to be com
mended by all good people Of the
city for the stand it has taken on the
liquor question, and, too, for declin-
ing to sell its columns for advertis-
ing the stuff to family trade" Why
not make it good for babies? It
looks to the subscriber that an at.
tempt is being made to get the sup.
port of the editors in getting hold
on our government.

SUPPORT FOR THE SCHOOLS

The Republican party in Hawaii is emphasiz-
ing stand already taken in declaring for lib
eral and vigorous policy in support of the public
school system of this territory 1t was the Re-
publican party which two years ago made this a
prominent platform issue, and transformed its
words into. deeds.w Republican legislature
made appropriations for school purposes run
ming into the millions and upholding progress,
siye system of education.
Education of the youth of Hawaii should
have first claim upon the revenues of the terri
tory was the ringing announcement of the Re-
publican platform of 1910, and that declaration
holds as good today as it did then 49,. 4
e. w. A. Bowen, delegate to the territorial con-
vention, did a timely thing yesterday in bringing
forward the question of public school support
and placing it before the platform committee,
and the applause which greeted his action proved
that the Republican party of this territory is in
sympathy with progressive public school pol
icy. ss
Great as was the work of the last Legislature,
the experience of the two years since then shows
that the public schools are crowded beyond toll
erance. Sturdy, oncoming youth is clamoringl
at the doors of every school in every island for
the opportunity to share the benefits of educa-
ton under the effective American system. Upon
the citizens of this territory rests now, it has
rested before, the responsibility for making our
schools accessible to every child in Hawaii.
Nopolitical party could have sounder, safer,
more constructive plank than that of liberal sup
port for education, and the Republican party
must rise to a responsibility that is at the same
time wonderful opportunity 4

rapidly increasing list of industries
render 1t imperative that the immi
grafton of desirable laborers, either
citizens or eligible to become citi
zens of 1.-THE United States, be encour
aged in every legitimate way, anc
that proper financial assistance be
given by the Territory to aid such
Immigration. We therefore favor the
continuance for the period of two
years of the present law relative to
assisting immigration, and further
favor the enactment of laws which
shall properly safeguard the expendi
ture OF such funds, to the end thai
no part of the appropriation thall be
needlessly squandered. either in the
payment of unnecessarily high sal
aries or for the importation of immi
grants undesirable from either moral
or physical standpoints, or suffering
from dangerous, infectious or con
tagious diseases; provided, that the
law enacted under this plank shall
not be carried out SO long as the en-
ployers of labor through any of their
agencies, continue to bring to Hawaii
individuals as laborers who are, by
reason of their physical or moral con
dftions, regarded undesirable citizens
of Hawaii. 49,
We favor the passage of quarantine
laws by which the Territory may be
amply protected against the introduc-
ton into the Territory, through immi-
grants from either foreign ports or
ports of the United States, of danger
Gus, contagious or infectious dis
eases. r-.-
WHARvES AND BUILDINGS.
We, realize the paramount necessity
for providing for adequate wharf and
landing facilities and approaches
thereto, to accommodate the rapidly
increasing commerce of the Territory
and particularly in view of the ap-
eproaching completion of the Panama
Canal, we pledge our representatives
in the coming Legislature to make suf-
ficient appropriations for providing
for such improvements as soon as
practicable. %...s -..
We further pledge our representa-
tiYes in the coming Legislature to con-
.tinue liberal appropriations for these
purposes, and to the enactment of leg
islation in connection with such i'm
provements which shall effectually
prevent the granting of any special
privileges whatsoever In the use of
the. yharyes and landings to be con.
strucfed.
GRANTS TO TRANSPORTATION

transportation constitutes an import
ant factor in the development of the
resources of the Territory, yet the
granting of special rights or priyl-
leges relating to public lands to cor
porations or individuals engaged
therein under the guise of encourage
.ment is to be condemned. We there
fore favor the enactment of laws
which shall prevent the disposition OF
any part of the public lands or of any
interest therein to such corporations
unless full value IS paid the Territory
therefor, and then only afSer equal OPP
portunity is afforded to citizens of the
Territory for the acquisition of such
Il. ELECTIONS.
Believing that the voters of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii should be permitted
to express their choice for officers
free from coercion or intimidation of
any nature, and that such protection
should cover not only elections but
primary meetings and nominating con-
ventions. We favor the enactment of
laws by which severe penalties shall
be imposed for the employment of CO.
ercion or intimidation of any nature
whatsoever which may interfere in
any degree with untrammeled action
by an 5elector at any election, or at
any primary or nominating conven-
ton preliminary to election.
We believe in the doctrine that full
publicity should be given to all con-
corning contributions to political COM
mittees in charge of or connected with
campaigns, and pledge our represent
atives in the Legislature to the enact
ment of laws by which this shall be
done ....
The Republican party renews its
pledge for the enactment of the direct
primary law. The contention that the
people of Hawaii are adverse to such
law is not in accord with the progress
siye policies of the Republican party.
The voters throughout the Territory
should be given the fullest opportunity
of partaking in the nominations of the
candidates for offices.
Believing that the continued dis
reimbursement of women is a relic of
antiquity that belongs to other days,
and that women never have maintain
ed and never will maintain their NOR
al, natural or legal rights save by the
possession of political rights, we favor
the enactment of laws granting equal
suffrage to them.

Territory itself should be permitted tn

GOOD MOTION PICTURES
CHANGE LIBERTY BILL

Two thoroughly interesting motion
pictures were the features of last
nights change OF bill at the Liberty
Theater, one of these, entitled "A
Pueblo Legend, 2 being the best Indian
subject ever shown at this theater,
while another very clear and inter
esting war picture purported to be
a true incident during the famous
battle of Antietam, contained some
exciting and realistic fighting" OF
the new vaudeville act, the Howard
Sisters, the less said the better, as
their turn was not up to the usual
Liberty Theater standard, and, ex.
cepting some rich wardrobes, the girls
have nothing to commend them.
Mile Mercereaux and the Kelso
Brothers continue to please with the
same act they presented last week.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

The platform presented to the Republican
territorial convention this afternoon by the con
yentiOns platform committee is on the whole a
progressive document 1t has something to say
and that something is said in no uncertain
terms
The land and water plank is a compromise,
and no man can say now whether Legislation
such as is suggested will work Quite the fullest
expectations of those who advocate the meas
ures, but we believe a sincere effort has been
made toward the conservation of public lands
and water, even though that effort is inextri-
cably mixed with territorial politics Secretary
Fishers hearings have shown Enthusiastically that
there is wide divergence of opinion among men
deyotedly working for the progress of home
Stealing in this territory, and the plank as
adopted must still submit to the ordeal by fire
Of actual practice after suitable legislation But
il is a seeking toward the light, at any rate.
There is much of real progressiYeness in this
document. The needs of education, of territor-
ial harbor and wharf improvements, of SANTA
ton, of fisheries, are recognized. The direct
primary is again advocated, and steps are taken
to safeguard the purity and independence of the
ballot, while suffrage for the women of the ter
ritory is a distinct advance along the line Of
country-wide political progress Impartial SUI
peryision Of public service corporations by a.
suitable commission is a measure as desirable
for the corporations as for the people, and other
emphasis is placed on cooperation and harmony
between capital and labor As to the liquor
plank the STAR, BULLETIN believes that further
restrictions against the sale of adulterated in
toxicants are necessary which experience has
certainly proved. but is possible that the liquor
license commissions may provide these under the
present law. !.
As a document for the Republican party to 60,
into the campaign with, the platform is an ad-
niirable one 1T is essentially "a platform that
guarantees the kind Of legislation that the aver
age citizen, the homeowner and homebuilder of
this territory, can indorse, and by the adoption

great step forward toward another victory this

tenance OF homestead roads, we favor
the enactment of laws making it man
dat6ry for the officers charged with
the administration of the law to con-
struct and maintain proper roads con.
Meeting such lands with other public
highways, the cost thereof 70 be paid
out of the proceeds of the sales of
snch lands. The diversion of funds
arising from the disposal of such
lands for other purposes should not
be permitted, nor should any discre-
ton whatsoever as to their use be
given
We further believe that, under
proper regulations for security, pro-
vision should be made by which pub
lie funds may be loaned homestead
ers prior to patent for the purpose
of improving lands settled ON.
For the purpose of further develop
ing the resources of the Territory.
we favor the enactment of laws by
which the Territorial government may
impound and distribute for the pur-
poses Of irrigation the waters belong,
ing to the Territory, we pledge our
Delegate in Congress to work to Sc
cure Congressional legislation per
hitting the Legislature of the Terri
tory OF Hawaii to enact laws similar
TO the acts. of Congress under which
irrigation works to be used in the rec
lamation Of arid lands are construct
ed by the government
Realizing that the Legislature OF
the Territory is limited in power in
dealing with land laws! we pledge
our representatives in the Legislature
to the adoption of a memorial to the
Congress of the United States for the
enactment of proper laws by which
these results may be accomplished,
and further pledge thereto the hearty
support of our Delegate in Congress.
We believe that no corporation or
individual should be permitted to
lease from the Territory of Hawaii at
any, enc time a greater amount of pas
toral land than is sufficient to consti-
tute ranch or farm which may be
operated at a reasonable profit. In
this way men of moderate means may
be encouraged to engage in industries
for which such pastoral lands are
adapted, and the control of vast areas
of public lands, and the consequent
monopoly OF the products of such
lands by one corporation or indiyid-
nal may be prevented.
