LET the VOTER KNOW

Republican leaders announce that they Viii
carry out not only the letter but the spirit OF the
direct primary law.
II they are sincere and there is every eyi-
dence that they are sincere their immediate
duty is to work eAt some systematic plan of ed
ucating the electorate in the meaning and oper.
alton of this. new spoiitical formula.
The ignorance on the details of the newslas,
is widespread. Scarcely one voter in thousand
has even faint conception of the radical
changes this law. will work; scarcely one in a
hundred has grasped the full purport Of the
measure passed by the last legislature
Republicans all over the territory are asking
themselves and each other, "HOw can we keep
the party spirit alive? How can we keep from
sliding back? How can we, as political party,
progress during the period from now to the next
campaign? y
There is plenty Of definite work for the party
to do The first thing is to grapple with the prob
lens of the new primary law and Inform the peo-
pie generally of it. The spirit of the new law
is the spirit of responsibility upon each individ-
ual voter Until the individual feels his respon-
sbility, his power to make or mar candidates.,
until he can feel the pressure of his own hand
on the reins of government, the law will be far
from effective.
The quickest way to rouse the individual to a
knowledge of his res possibilities is to let him
know his freedom of choice and action under the
new law. That is the task to which the Repub-
'lican party Organizations in territory and coun-
ties may we'll address themselves immediately.

A Mother and Son Banquet, similar
to that held last year when fathers
and sons got to gether for a social
evening, is being planned by the
secretaries of the boys department
of the Young Mems Christian Assoc
Iation. So great was the success of
the banquet last year that the moth.

believe that they should be allowed
the same privileges as were extended
their husbands. The date of the ban,

THE BELATED. GAMBLING RAIDS

The raiding of gambling games by the sheriff
yesterday is open admission of what the press
Of Honolulu has been charging for months, u
that littleOr no energetic attempt has been made
on the part of the police to close up the many
games running in the city.
Sheriff Jarrett's belated move is to his credit,
but Il would have been much more to his credit
had he acted earlier, and without the spur OF a
growing public opinion. When businessmen all
over the city, when relatives and friends of
vonths wasting their own and their employers
money over the tables when the casual obser-
YER and the ordinary man hears that gambling
Is flourishing then indeed has the police force
been lax. That the conditions here should have
prown SO bad is significant OF the lack of super
vision. the lack of energy, in the conduct Of the
police department.
The Star Bulletin has a letter, signed "a Pro
fessional Gambler which, after charging that
4 big gambling joint is running in Chinatown,
says in part:

detailed along Pennsylvania avenue to
look after the awnings
''The safe and sane celebration he
added, has changed conditions. 1t is
no longer necessary to have the details

the department have their day on and
the horses do not have to be kept on
the go in the hot sun.
