Barton, chairman Of the board of

The Negro in the north needs indus
trial training as much as or even more
than the Negro in the south. In the
north he must compete with the white
man, and unless he can do as well or
even better he cannot get remunerative
employment. In the cities large ma
jority Of the Negroes are hopelessly
submerged. Little can be done to in
crease the efficiency of the older gen.

be made at once to rescue the boys

which surround their parents.
The first step to this end Is to sup

Educated Young Men on tho Farm.

The colored population Of Alabama
has increased by upward Of $4,000
within the past ten years. according to
the latest report There are 1920
more farms owned by the race in the
state, and the total farm acreage is
said to be 100000. The valuation of
farm property is estimated at $10.OOO.-
900. This remarkable increase is due
in large measure to the more recent
improved methods Of intensive farming
used by the hundreds of educated
young men who have gone out from
che various industrial schools and are
devoting their time to agricultural pur
suita.

The fact that more than cough men
are available should not deter others
from bringing their candidates for
ward, provided II is done In good
faith. The great trouble OF the past
has been that candidates and policies
have not been discussed until just be-
fore the conventions, and then the
outsiders who have just walked up
find that states and deals and prom
ises have already been made and can
not be broken without seriously en-
dangering the whole fabric of the Or
ganization.
Ii should be remembered that the
years 1913 and 1914, during which the

making Il change in the Office of chief
executive and really wants man who
is American, who is efficient, who is
close to the people. and whose APP
pointment will eliminate rather than
add to the difficulties of the local sit
uation.
The remark has been made to the
Blu letin that no man could serve
more than one term as Governor of
this Territory without having raft
of enemies and at the end OF the per-
iOd numbering as many or more OPP
ponents than Governor Frear. We are
by no means prepared to declare this
To be not true. And II may be the
best argument possible that the Gov
! ernOr of the Territory of Hawaii
should be "one termer." Many be-
lieve the one-term principle should be
extended to all important offices, be-
cause Of the human tendency towards
a sort of feeling of private ownership
ia public office.
The Bulletin believes Governor
Frear's present supporters will do
well to keep cool in contemplating
the situation and in referring to those
who do not agree with them.
; Let us assume for once that we are
all striving to work together for the
betterment of the Territory of Ha-
wall. that we are not battling for the
supremacy or defeat of a particular
faction.
II the Advertiser were accepted as
II representative of the Governors in
most thoughts and desires. its utter
ances would place him in the attitude
of being overwhelmed with desire
to dominate and domineer. Surely no
such policy is wanted by any we'll
wisher for the Territory of Hawaii.
And the time has not yet arrived
when all the citizens of Hawaii fear
to express their honest convictions on
public matters or when dealing with
public men.
The position of such men is prac-
tlcally this:
Should Governor Frear be indicted
and jailed for crimes and misdemean-
ors against the United States Govern
ment?
No.
Is he the man to get the best re-
suits for the Territory of Hawaii in
the next two or four years?
No.
Are there other men thoroughly
American who could pacify and I'M
prove the situation?
t Yes.

the question at issue in the matter Of

The duty that falls to the lot of the

Again we are forced TO take issue
with the Advertiser regarding the
character OF the opposition TO the re-

The attitude of Ex-Governor Carter

the best possible evidence that the OPP
