WASHING ITS OWN FACE.

Action toward safeguarding fair play in pri-
mary nominations and elections was taken by
the Republican Territorial Central Committee
last night The amended rules favored by the
committee have been carefully prepared by a
special subcommittee and discussed at num-
Der of meetings. In brief, they make qualitiea-
tons for voting more stringent, but provide
much liberality in carrying out the spirit of rep
resentative primaries. The evil aimed ut Is the
evil Of tricky political work, expressed in stuff
fing the precinct club rolls, in holding sudden
and unannounced meetings to give one faction
chance to use the precinct club for its OWE pur-
poses or in blocking bona fde nominations by
opponents.
Actual testing of the changes will alone p',.ve
their worth The committee, at least has made
a start in the right direction of washing the
party's face. 1t was wise in declining to recon-
mend a primary law This has gone beyond a
party matter, aDd the duty of passing direct
primary act 1eonfronts the whole. people and
must be effected by legislative method. Tam
pering with primary law now would not aid
in putting up to the next Legislature a clean
cut demand for direct primary

the committee as matter to be taken up by the
next Territorial convention and made part of
the platform. The committee agrees with the
spirit which prompted District Attorney r. w.
Breckons to propose campaign-fund publicity as
a needed reform There can be no question that
the whole trend of the political times is away
from the Darkroom methods in party affairs,
and that the neOnle are entitled to know who
puts up the funds that help in electing their
public officials. This must be taken up sooner
or later, and Republican leaders may well bear
it in mind for consideration when the next con-
vention is in session. ~ IL

This is time when disaster is following dis
sension as sure and as sinister a hound on
the trail National unity is threatened by the
ruleor-ruin policy blind to the fact that great
nations are founded on constructive, not de-
structive policies Hawaii has much to do in
the next few years, little time to do it. Kuhios
position and that of others, less openly in the
fight but not less active, does not make for unity
or compromise, even honorable, progressive
agreement Hawaii cannot afford to halt now
and divide into hostile camps, and the Delegate
cannot ask support and expect to get it on such
pronunciamentO.
1t is plain that the Delegates plan is to Sc
cure control of the Republican Territorial con-
vention, and, failing that, to quit the organized
party, call a convention of his own, and take the
field on an anti-Frear platform, built on the
lines of his statement yesterday. He is forcing
the issue, and the issue is to be squarely met
1t can be met by vigorous, unselish, united ac-
ton by the voters of the Territory who are clear
headed enough to realize now that personal an
tagonism must be cast aside, and that Kuhio's
program under present political and Industrial
conditions means pulling down the house with
its people caught beneath the falling walls.

DEMENTED
WOMAN
UNDER GUARD

The mother of five little children,
the youngest a mere infant, Mrs.
Martin, Ekvall, wife of a missionary
who has seen several years of SER
vice in northern China and Thibet, is
returning to the mainland, totally be.
reft of reason, and under strong and
vigilant guard, during the passage
made in the Pacific Mail liner Persia.
According to the story brought to
this port by the officers in the Persia,
Mrs. Ekvall has during the trip de-
veloped suicidal mania, and on sew
feral occasions has attempted to take
her life by jumping overheard.
Throughout the stay OF. the Persia
at Honolulu. the unfortunate Woman
has been kept under lock and key,
and has been strappe to hen berth
in the cabin. ~
The case is one that has awakened
the sympathies of the entire company
of passengers The maladE is one
that has been pronounced as hopeless
by an eminent specialist who is a fell
low passenger in the Persia. The con-
slant fear of harm from Chinese ban
dts is believed to have deprived the
woman of her reason.

WOODROW WILSON.

Woodrow Wilson is Presidential candidate
of whom the Democratic party may be proud,
and in the country at large he should command
aheavy vote. Progressive, high-minded, an able
exponent of Notwithstanding advance, and an
able leader of men actuated by patriotic mo-
tiyes, he combines ideals with considerable prac-
teal experience. How good national cam
paigner Wilson is, remains to be seen. Person
ally, he is held to be rather unapproachable.
There is nothing of the back-slapping, arm
pumping type about the Nassau schoolmaster
Taft and Wilson offer the voters of the coun-
try conspicuous character and strength of judg
ment from which to choose. Hawaii's duty is
plainly with Taft, whose stand on the tariff is
so emphatically the safety of Hawaii's indus
trial welfare that were this Territory to partici-
pate in the final showing the local vote should
be unanimous.
Democracy is to be congratulated on its re-
pudiation of Hearstism as expressed in Clark 5
support; on its open denunciation of Big Bust
ness control The battles of the next few
months will be watched with extreme interest

On Kuhio' sLettIer


Joseph r. Cooke. who was president
of the Taft League. is quoted as say
ing he very much regrets that Delegate
Kalanianaole has decided To drag his
quarrel with Governor Frear into the
fall campaign. His action as proposed
would completely disrupt the Republic
can party. Mr.. Cooke denies Kphio's
charge OF unfairness against eThe
Frear- Cooke party. and cites the Of
fer made to give Kuhio half the Chi
cago delegation. both at the begin
ming OF the convention and toward It's
close. when il was certain the Frear
supporters could do as they wished
Notwithstanding the Delegates dis
.claimer. it is asserted his campaign
would be against the sugar interests.
Kuhio Is represented as forgetful OF
the support he has received from the
business men, without which MeCand-
less would have defeated him. Mr.,
Cooke further points out that Kuhio
is placed in the position of ignoring
his agreement that he would abide by
the investigation of the Governor for
which he had asked in Washington,
and is quoted as saying in conclusion:
"All We can do will be to stand aside
and let Kuhio continue on his course.
To attempt to oppose him would only
be to force the Territory into a race
issne fight. which would be the worst
thing possible for Hawaii and for the
Tweflbeing of all the people here.

SYNOPSIS.

The story opens at Monte Carlo with

lance and something of a gambler, in his
elevator and passes from sight. At the
gaming table O'Rourke notices two men
watching him. One is the Hon. BERTHE

him the French government has directed

CHAPTER XVIII.

It was mid-afternoon of sultry day.
No air stirred. The Panjnab was coal
ing at Port Said.
O'Rourke eyed the vessel with dis.
favor from the shore; then dropped
into a harbor dinghy, ensconced him
self at the tiller-ropes, and caused
himself, with his luggage and his
man-servant. to be conveyed alongside
the steamer.
Near the gangway he was held
back: another boat had forestalled
him, another passenger was shipping
for the East. O'Rourke was interested
idly.
He saw woman, slight, trim fig
ure becomingly attired in white, with
a veil about her head, leave the boat
and mount the gangway steps with a
springy, youthful STEP cheerful and
positive air, certain but indefinable
calm OF self-possession. At the ton
she paused, turned. looked down,

Intangible indications O'Rourke as
