GETTING FEDERAL AID FOR HAWAIIAN FARMERS

The Lever agricultural bill of which editO-
house in such form that Hawaii does not get the
benefit of the federal aid for farmers This in
formation was given the Star Bulletin today.
The present status of the bill gives the terri
tory but small hope of taking advantage of the
plan to furnish farming experts for agricultural
communities There is still one chance left how
ever. The bill has not yet passed the senate,
and vigorous fight on behalf of Hawaii might
result in d senate amendment to include the ter
ritOry in the measure. If Hawaii were included,
in direct personal aid to the farmers here The
boon to small farming, to demonstrating, would
be measureless
The Star-Bulletin is informed that the house
would have included Hawaii in the beneficiary
provisions of the bill had concerted effort been
made by representatives and friends of the ter
ritOry. The effort was not made. 1t is need
less now to complain of that. The thing to do,
if Hawaii wishes this highly advantageous fed
eral aid, is to get someone before the senate
request that the bill be made applicable to this
territory. There is little doubt that if this were
successful, the house in conference would agree
to the change
A quick move or none must be made. The
commercial bodies of other communities have
come to the front on behalf of the bill. 1t is
worth some speedy thinking-Over here.

FISHER In WILSON'S CABINET

The Washington Times OF December 81 says
Of Secretary Walter L. Fisher:
nSecretary of the Interior Walter L. Fisher
IS being backed by considerable influences for
retention in the cabinet Of President Wilson.
$50 far as is known, Mr.. Fisher has not been
consulted by those friends who are DESTROYS that
Mr. Wilson should consider his continuance in
the cabinet. Doubts have been expressed, even
BIZ some Of the people who would be pleased to
see him continue, as to whether he would do so.
The secretary has been an exceedingly hard
worker, has devoted himself without stint to ia.
miliarizing himself with the details of the bust
ness at the interior department., and has imposed
highly Independent policy. AS an executive,
he is not unlike Roosevelt, who made it his bust
ness to know everything that was being handled
by his subordinates. He took no unnecessary
chances, but kept in touch everywhere. Mr..
Fisher has done the same SO far as it was pos
sibe for one man to be in touch with all the vast
array of business that the department handles.
aOverwork and close application have not
tended to make his administrative experience
altogether pleasant; but none the less Mr.. Fish
er has had the satisfaction of winning a large
measure of confidence from people who were the
most severe critics of the department under the
Ballinger regime 1t was by his order that the
famous Cunningham claims in Alaska, which
furnished occasion for the old Balinger scandal,
were cancelled"

PULL FOR The PARADE

is simply up to Honolulu to get together and
make good, says Charles +. Chilingworth, di-
rcctorgencral Of the 1913 Floral Parade.
The man who knocks the Floral Parade, who
criticises without helping, ought to be hung
higher than Hannah on the gibbct of public opin-
ion, just rs President elect Wilson has promised
To hang the foes OF good government who try to
block progressive administration.
Director ChillingwGrth gave the Honolulu Ad
club talk yesterday on the Floral Parade plans
that has filled the hard headed businessmen with
considerably more enthusiasm than they are
usually apt to get. The parade plans for the car
niyal this year are of great originality and clever
conceptiOn. The historical pageant representing
the landing of Kamehameha the Great at Wal
Xxi beach will be a wonderful spectacle. The
morning military procession will be tremendous.
Wake up, Honolulu, and give the parade the
right kind of support! There ought to be five
hundred decorated cars in the auto section and
fifty floats in the float section.

pretty catchwords. Wake up!

HE'S GOING TO DO THE FLOGGING

He's going to do the flogging,
If no other can be found
Among his fellow-creatures
To whirl the whip around,
To swing it and to bring it
Down, like lightning flash,
Till the red blood flows in streamlets
Meath the biting of the lash!
Yes, he's going to do the flogging
With lusty might and main,
Till the victims writhing, shrieking,
With the frenzy of the pain,
Till his eyeballs CLEAN with horror,
Till the 'lolling, hanging head
Shows further zest is useless:
To pain, at last, he's dead.
Oh! he's going to do the flogging,
The man of God and right:
His Lordship! whilst the angels
Weep mutely at the sight,
And Christ, aside in pity,
His head doth sadly turn,
And the lash that flogs the sinner
The Saviour's heart doth burn!
God help us when our Ministers
Forget the Saviour's words,
When their hearts vibrate no longer
To PHYS gentle chords,
When they desecrate the Office
That but Holy men should fill,
And call it retribution
When they flog and main and kill!

Of progress or prosperity can justify
them. Christendom will not submit

hope FOR THE DIRECT PRIMARY

The legislature Of 1913 it appears now, will
pass direct primary bill, whether or not Homo
slulu's proposed short-ballot government charter,
providing incidentally for election by direct pri-
mary, is approved.
Two years ago it was pretty generally
known that half of the members of the 1911
legislature were lukeWarm on the direct PRIMARY
and in spite of their party pledge would give
such a measure no activ" support. This attitude
was characteristic of several of the Republican
senator's even after the house had redeemed its
faith by passing the primary bill. The senate
defeated the bill, and Republican senators who
thus failed to carry out the distinct plcd"" in
the party platform took refuge in the assertion
that the bill was not workable measure, and
that they would not stand responsible for enact
ing law which would not stand practical test.
As a matter of fact, this reason was nothing
but a half-excuse The senate made little or nc
