HAWAII ATMOSPHERE.

Secretary Fisher has established a
high mark in the matter of govern
ment Investigations in his work in
of charges preferred against the gov
ernOr of the islands by the delegate
in Congress. II is tribute to his
thorCughness, his tact and his ability
in handling this delicate question
while in Hawaii that before he had
completed the investigation and start
cd back to Washington the main
charges were withdrawn and the case
was virtually closed SO far as the
necessity of corrective action was
concerned. When Secretary Fisher
reached Honolulu it was evidently ex-
DeCted by those interested in the sit
uation created by the filing of charges
that he would deal with the case in
the perfunCtory manner so common in
such matters, cOntenting himself with
hearing ..,.'t"mentS by the two sides
and then bringing memoranda back
to Washington for prolonged cOnsid-
Grafton. On the contrary the Secre-
tary promptly announced that he
would begin the hearings the next
DAY. and 50 thoroughly did he iEVeSti-
gate this case. so intimately did he
acNuaint himself with all the circum1
stances. so keenIy did he study cN
nomic and political conditions in Ha-
waii. that he was soon convinced that
the whole trouble arose through a
misunderstanding and that what was
needed was frank expression on all
sides rather than drastic procedure.
Acting not as prosecutor but as ad-
he soon eluCidated the
fact that the charges were based upon
. and furthermore he
convinced those making them OF this
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1912-12-21

fact and the more serious Of the &C
cusations were formally withdrawn in
public print, while he had brought the
opposing elements into working re-
.lations. Had this not been ,aecomp-
.lished without doubt the case would
have rolled up into an inextricaDie
.tangle of assertions and denials, with
the inevitable consequence of ulti-
mate official action certain to cause
bitter feeling and to lessen the effici-
ency OF the insular administration
Common sense will usually solve
any problem, and this was the agency
employed by Secretary Fisher in Ha-
waii in the present instance Often
the public investigator takes the at
titude Of a prosecuting attorney or an
Iinquisitor rather than that of an UNI
prejudiced official seeking the truth
without subterfuge or eyesion or con-
fusion. And it is to be hoped that in
the time to come this admirable per-
Torrance at Honolulu, resulting as it
has in complete clearance of the
insular executive and the restoration
of confidence and harmony on the is
lands, will serve as guiding ex-
ample. The time and energy of Of
ficials at the head of government de-
partments cannot be better spent than
in such endeavor as that which Sec
rotary Fisher has just SO successfully
completed Washington Star. ill.,.

ton Of harEor works and railroads
and irrigation plants. "Yet with all
this progress,t our work in the Phillips
pines has. just commenced, contln-
ues the secretary. Half of the chill
dren born 7ifi4SManiIa died in infancy
and LOCO, 010I children are without
scncols. The old system of peonage
is still accepted by the masses who,
unless protected by Americans, would
fall ready victims to the rich and edu-
Gated Philippine minority"
The American policy, he says,
should be continued to completion for
until that time all proposals for in.
dependence are pleas for national re-
creancy on our part, and for the re-
pudiation Of the heavy and difficult
burden which thus ftif we have been
bravely and consistently sustaining.
Even more is it unjust to the great
masses of Filipino people, in whose
behalf the high sounding slogan of
liberty and Independence are shout
ed. After having been for centuries
sunk in ignorance and held in econo-
mic subsection, they are now being
and being welded into national solida-
rity: Along this line, and along this
line alone, lies the true path of liberty
and independence.
The closing chapter Of the report
deals with the Panama canal. of
which it is said that while the official
date of opening is set for January I,
1915, it is the intention to allow YES
sells to utilize it as soon as possible
probably during the latter half of
1918. The secretary states that while
he still believes the United States can
repay tolls to American vessels using
the canal, he is strongly of the opin-
ion that such remission of tolls be not
granted. as they are necessary.
