ible that an applicant of very desirable quail
les could be rejected by the votes of three men
"rSonally opposed to him. So long as the mem

ave the arbitrary power thus given them.
The general plan is exceedingly broad in

light to be very large and representative.
The benefits to be derived from such an Or

L. s. CONFESS has certainly succeeded in lin
ing up strong support for his Hilo street railway
plans When CONFESS tackled the job OF getting
a franchise from the last legislature, there were
smiles and laughter on the part of the knowing
ones of the territory. When the Legislature APP
proved franchise and he went to Washington,
there were more smiles and laughter. When he
came back from Washington with the approval
of Congress, the laughter began to disappear, but
the smiles of doubt and incredulity remained.
Now that he is ready to incorporate, with the
backing of a number of Hi1o's best men, who are
used to handling hard coin of the realm, there
will be more smiles. Truly, the way of the pro-
moter is hard But in the phrase of the day, IIa-
waii has to ''hand it to- CONFESS for carrying
his proposition thus far. Good luck for the rest
of the way
