The A. B. C. OF THE PRIMARY.

The Legislature of 1911 played the role of
faintheart in one important particular 1t
failed TO pass direct primary law.
The Legislature of 1913, it is to be hoped,
will be composed of men with intelligence
such law, and in such form that it will be
workable in Hawaii.
The direct primary principle is the right
principle 1t now remains for brains and in
dustry to draft measure that will fit local con-
ditibns will be easily understood and easily OPP,
Grated with the minimum of red tape and the
maximum Of independent choice for the voter.
Within few days the Republican precinct
clubs Of the Territory will begin organization
The Republican party in Hawaii is committed
to the direct primary if past utterances count
for anything but wind and yote-catching And
the Republican precinct clubs should begin
working now to get q primary law that will fl
Hawaii.
There are in this community men who have
devoted months of study to this progressive po-
litical method. The Star.B Bulletin suggests that
the precinct clubs begin systematic campaign
of education, and that these men, such as Chief
Justice A. g. NJ. Robertson and Judge w L
Whitney, be asked to explain the direct primary
principle and its possibilities here, The pri-
mary is fathomless mystery to nine out of ten
voters; mere name. 1t means nothing tan
gible. Plainly, with a Territorial convention
and a Legislature coming it is time that the
voters know what kind of law to seek. The
Wisconsin law, the "Berkeley PLAN, the Ore
gon law, the noted Geran law of New Jersey,
drawn up largely by Governor Woodrow Will
son,--al should be made available for voters
and the merits of each dissected and analysed
Those in Hawaii who are deeply interested
in the passage of such law here may be relied
upon to listen to an invitation from precinct
clubs to explain the workings of the measure
and sort of informal lyceum may we'll be es
tablished to pave the way for legislative action
Then if the Legislature refuses to pass the law
the voters of this Territory will know where anc
how and why it cringed from carrying out thu
primary plank in the Territorial platform

THE AQUARIUM

Editor Star-Bulletin, Sir:
| was one of a large number of pas
sengers who arrived in Honolulu. early
the other morning and wished to go to
the Aquarium to spend few hours.
in company with several others, about
ten in all, / went out on your very
good street-car line to the Aquarium
and arriving there about 9so'clock was
told that the building would not be OPP
ened until 10 o'clock.
Much disappointment was express
ed, and as we did not then have time
to wait, many did not get to see what
lis said to be wonderful sight Not
having to continue in the steamer,
could visit the Aquarium again, but
most of the others could not.
Is it not possible that the Aquarium
could be opened at, say, $3.50 o'clock
when the big steamers come in? Most
of the steamers stay here but few
hours, and the tourist has no chance
to make more than one trip If that
fails, he does not see the wonderful
fishes.
Yours truly,

FINANCING PUBLIC GOOD.

Honolulu is today working on problem that
MANY cities of the United States have faced and
some of them solved. That problem is the prob
lem of the multiplying civic, commercial, phil
anthropic and promotion organizations.
The movement here to bring under one head
and one efficient management as many as pos
sible of the commercial and quasi-public organi
cations is progressing slowly and carefully In
formation is being sought on what other cities
are doing
There comes to hand now report as to how
one city is solving the question of funding the
various public and commercial enterprises to
meet the demands from insistent and worthy
sources. The city is Seattle, where within the
mast year there has arisen strong movement
for amalgamation of the leading commercial
bodies to prevent duplication of work and vast
ing of funds
The trustees of the new Chamber of Com
,,,arce of Seattle have adopted what is known as
,ba s.budget system, now in vogue among the
la-oor commercial bodies of the United States.

INTER.IsLAND SERVICE.

Editor Star-B Bulletin, Sir:
Seeing the name OF one of Maui's
prominent businessmen among the list
of passengers of the Clandine last
Wednesday evening, an idea occurred
to me which ! believe proper 70 stg-
gest, viz.
The Mauna Kea now makes two
runs to HiIo-tfie Wednesday run
takes in all the way ports-Maui In
Guided; but the second, the Saturday
run, which is virtually an excursion
trip, leaves out Maui and goes direct
to IIilo Now the suggestion is: let
the business people get together and
make proper inducements to the III.
s. N Co. and have the Mauna Kea
touch Lahaina on the way up and
land passengers and mail only, on the
excursion trip, returning the same
way BY this arrangement the bust
ness people will have opportunity of
leaving Honolulu on Friday night
per Claudine and returning per
Mikahala on Saturday night. or leave
Saturday night per Mauna Kea and
return Monday night. The Maui bus
inessmen could come down per Mauna
Kea Saturday morning and return per.
same boat the same afternoon.
The, convenience would not only be-
to the business community but to the
general public as we'll.
Respectfully submitted.

Honolulu can well afford to support clean
horse-racing Clean horseracing is synony-
nous with absence of betting 1t is the evil of
betting and tile resultant crooked riding and
framing that killed racing in New York and
California and crippled it elsewhere And on
the mainland the sporting men are beginning to
prove that race-meets can be success without
open-ring betting.

Der The major portion of the fund is to 60 e
advertising and exploiting the city, wori
which corresponds to that done here by the Pro
motion Committee and the understandable
Pacific Club. Every other activity in which the
chamber is interested through its bureaus, will
receive sum based on its needs and the avail
able funds.
1t is needless to repeat here the arguments
in favor of welding together Honolulu's many
scattered organizations, all of which are devoted
to work for the public good in one form or an,
other. Those arguments were made when the
amalgamation movement was first launched
here 1t is recognized that Honolulu must Sc
cure closer cooperation among these various
bodies, and the central organization, with the
detailed work carried on by bureaus, has been
suggested.
The budget system is only one of many fac
tors that will aid in perfecting a smooth-run-
ming general organization and in avoiding the
waste of money. For the budget plan, it is
claimed, in statement on the general scheme
that it will safeguard businessmen from being
mulcted by persistent beggars pnder the guise
of charity or promotion. To qnote:
1t is believed that this method of meet
ing the needs of this community will re-
ceive the approval of public-spirited bust
nessinen and citizens who have heretofore
been subjected to continual solicitation for
one purpose or another, but who will, I'M
der this plan, be afforded the opportunity
to make one subscription to cover the COM
munity purposes for given period
80 ho Tooo hot fhou
will be relieved from solicitation for contri
buttons for any other purpose and that the
funds so produced will be apportioned and
distributed under the direction of the trlls-
tees of the chamber IN such manner as to
accomplish the greatest possible results
with the funds so obtained
The fund will be raised not from the few
prominent businessmen and concerns who
have for years stood the brunt of pleas for
financial aid in community work, but will
be urged upon Individuals who have not
heretofore taken an active interest in this
work, but who's benefit directly or indi.
rectly as the result of the accomplishments
of one or another of the chambers bureaus
signifcantsof the practical part of the
recent get together movement in Seattle,
which resu4tcf.in the addition Of many new
and younger members to the chamber, the
accomplishments of that organization with
in the last four months at a very moderate
expense have been striking.
The spirit of cooperation and optimism
has been. developed in the city and kindly
feeling toward Seattle has been fostered in
surrounding communities.

MARKETS

Boston-It was officially announced
this morning that the Hancock shaft
had entered a good lode which the Of
fcials felt certain was the Pewabic
lode. Good buying orders advanced
the stock to 81 but the price later de-
clined in sympathy with the rest OF
the list The whole market had a
sagging tendency and every stock
showed a loss for the day. Politics
are stin an important factor in the
