For the briefest space the two women
measured glances. Lady Diana saw a

gave her, in the estimation of any one
seeing her for the first time, a certain
aspect of power.
A moment later she was walking
toward them.
The artist was not pleased at this in

face was that tragic mask she had
noted when they saw one another for
the first time. not SO many minutes

The artist interposed himself be-

though he feared harm to the younger
of the two.

while Lady Diana. with perfect and
cold breeding. ignored situation that

The intruder again swept Lady Di-

in her tones "Well. it's lucky found

spin together Francois wants to tell
you something about the car-the brake

Lady Diana was not pleased with her
scrutiny of the other woman. She was
too young to have esteemed the other
fast. but there was a certain some
thing about the tall and dark intruder
that repealed this young Englishwo-
man. So she continued. though the
other talked at her. to seclude herself
in her British reserve
The situation appeared to the artist
to need relieving very much. So to
create diversion he walked toward
the road where the car and chauffeur
were waiting.
"We'll take it down to the village

teered.

4 GOOD LAW

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir:-Among the few proposed good
laws, and the overgrown bunch Of
nonsensical. tax-eating rubbish that
some Of the legislators would foist on
an unsuspecting public as laws. is the
proposed law regulating the antomo-
bile in all its phases while in the
hands Of chauffeur. It is the best
piece OF work so far launched by the
Legislators outside of house and senate
bills No. /.
II the new auto law is adopted and
applied solely to the corner Of Hotel
and Fort streets Il will be worth
while. because It does seem as II auto
lists take an insane delight In crowd
ing their machines between the curb
on Hotel street by Blom's store and 4
Rapid Transit car while the latter II
taking on passengers at that point.
The ehauffeurs seem to think that the
foot passengers have no right In the
matter whatever. and the policeman on
that beat pays about as much atten-
ton to the state OF things as the rest
of the force would expect him to.

Senator Judd introduces Adj
ministration Measure Which
Provides New Method

Senator Judd introduced in the SEN
ate yesterday bill providing for cleo
tons on the preferential theory. This
plan, he believes, may be more eff
fectiye than direct primary law. His
chief objection to the primary law, as
given in the senate, was that it would
oblige the candidates to expend con-
siderably more than under the pres
ent system, and that voters would be
forced to vote straight party ticket
Both of these objections, he says, he
has removed in the preferential bill,
which, it is understood, is an admin
istration measure. 1t is given here

to the Democratic candidates, is unfortunate,
and to many it is intolerable To speak plainly,
none of the candidates whose claims have been
Iplaced before President Wilson has general
following, a general backing, in the territory
The Democratic party is hopelessly divided in a
bitter fractional dispute, and already the scram
Bile for the office has developed an unsayory set
Iof charges that are bound to leave their taint
even though disproyed. With the adherents of
three Democratic factions urging each for its
man an immediate appointment, the territory in
general shrinks from the possibilities should
President Wilson change governors at this time
Nothing more on this point need be said; the
situation is such that it is generally recognized
Such are some Of the reasons why change of
governors at this time is to be respectfully OPP
posed. In favor of longer consideration of an
appointment by President Wilson there are
equally strong arguments. Should no change be
made until September !, the president will have
several months in which to familiarize himself
with Hawaii's conditions and Hawaiis needs. 1t
is not impossible that Mr.. Wilson and Secretary
Lane might find it advisable to send a commits
sioner to Hawaii to look into the situation. None
of the present candidates could, we affirm, object
to such course, and it would commend itself
citizens. AT any rate, while Governor Frear is
clearing up the slate for successor ON or about
September /, the governorship situation, speak
ing now of candidates, would be clearing itself
up 1t is a rather hopeless situation nov, the
one ray of hope being that no summary action
will be taken
The Star Bulletin does not argue for the APP
pointment of a Republican governor by Demo
cratic administration. Governor Frear's per-
sonal wishes, as we said above, were made public
months ago. And we believe that his record in
office entities his wishes to entire consideration
There has never been period in his administra-
ton when he was so generally popular as he is
today. There has never been period when the
people of Hawaii were so confident in entrust-
ing to him the management of the territorial af-
fairs, or so reluctant to see those affairs taken
out of his hands before completed, and turned
over to another. During this session of the leg
islature the governor has done some tremendous
ly popular things, popular because they we're
done to safeguard the rights of the people
The governor does not want another four
year appointment; that he has already said and
he has not changed his mind He desires, as he
stated two years ago, to complete his work, and
he believes that time will be September 1, 1913.
The Star Bulletin believes that Hawaii's peo-
pie, Hawaii's leading men and women, Hawaii's
business interests, well serve their territory
by urging upon Mr.. Wilson to make no change
in the executive office until September 1, 1913 J;
and, if any appointment is made sooner, that
such appointment shall not become effective UNI
til that time.

THE GOYERNORSHIP--AN ANSWER

Two years ago, at the expiration of the four
year term of office to which he was appointed
by the president, Governor Frear expressed his
desire to serve two years more in the executive
chair. He said that he had work in mind to do
which could be done in that time, and that. if
reappointed, he should wish to resign about Sep.
tenber /, 1913.
The governors commission expired on Deem
Der Is, 1911. There came up the objections made
BY Kuhio and others to his reappointment. In
the year past, the secretary of the interior came
here, made a thorough investigation and recon-
mended the governor for reappointment He
was reappointed by President Taft, and his com
mission, together with many hundred others, was
held up in the senate because of the change in
national administration. But Governor Frear
was none the less indicated OF the charges
against him.
Yesterday the Star Bulletin, discussing the
goyernorship situation and the reluctance of the
territory to indorse at this time any of the Dem
ocratic candidates now aspiring to the office,
asked the question: aWhat then?'
The dnsirer to that question Is that Haraii
should urge upon President Wilson the retention
III office of Gorernor Fredr until September /
Of This gear.
The reasons for such action are obvious; they
are logical, they are powerful
In the first place, this is no time to change
governors The adjournment of the 1913 legisIa-
ture. in a few days will leave mass of unfin-
ished business to be finished by the executive
then in the chair tremendous amount Of de
tail work must be attended to, and no appointee
coming to the office lacking minute grasp of the
past can handle this work.
Moreover, the fiscal year ends June 30; the
governors annual report must be written in the
next two months; the whole intricate task of
Winding up the years work must be attacked and
concluded in two short months No man, APP
pointed to the governorship now or in the next
few weeks, can properly accomplish this task
1t would be useless for a new governor to write a
report on the administration Of year concern
ing which he knows practically nothing No
man, coming new to the office, can sit down and
make recommendations on the detail of terri
torial business that will carry any weight here
or in Washington.
The first of September, 1913, is the logical
time for a change in governors to be made; al
change can be made then with the least clashing
Of policies and methods; with the greatest eff
cheney The new governor can enter the office
with the territory swept fairly clean of accumu-
lated business; with a new financial budget :;
with clean slate. Governor Frear himself, it
may be stated, thoroughly agrees with this view.
In the second place, change of governors
now would bring no assurance to the territory
that q new man had been named in whom the
territory could place its confidence of ability,
comprehensive grasp and keen desire for the
