In the several pronged discus
sion as to who was guilty of
breach of faith in connection
with the Legislature and its
work, we gather therefrom the
belief that both Gov. Hooper
and Senator Luke Lea were sin.
cere, open and above board in
their course Of action. Gov.
Hooper had promised the people
law enforcement in the cities II
possible and no man, men or
combination has been able to
swerve him from that intention.
After it is all over and either
the forces Of Righteousness or
evil win in the General As
sembly, it will be plain to all
that the Governor kept the faith
and fought a good fight. Sena.
tor Lea helped pass the laws in
1909 that we are striving now to
maintain; he worked hard to
prevent repeal of those laws in
1911 and now he has pursued
the best plan he could see to
prevent their repeal by legisla.
ture, which, on a poll, would
rather see them repealed than
preserved. Senator Lea was viii
ling to take what seemed to him
the lesser of the two evils, hop.
ing for a more dependably moral
legislature in 1915. We are es-
pecially glad to say these words
Of faith in our Governor and
Senator.

HARBOR COMMISSIONERS DECIDE ON
final PAYMENT kUH|O wharf

Final action was taken on a matter
of long standing this morning when
the members of the board~of harbor
commissioners, meeting in special ses-
sion at 1890 o'clock, voted to pay to
the Hawaiian Dredging Company $15,-
1856 as the final payment for work
done. on the KuhiO wharf. and not to
include the $1100 which the dredging
company alleges is due to it for extra
work in completing a fill. A lengthy
motion to this effect was made by
Commissioner 7. NJ. Church, and the
matter is now settled as far as the
board is concerned.
According to the issue of the meet
ing, it appears that the Hawaiian
Dredging Company, when working on
its contract on the Kuhio wharf, did
some extra work which amounted to
$1l00, and which, it says, was to have
been paid by the territory. The board,

Gordon of North China Says
Oriental Race Makes Fine

Recognized in military circles
throughout the Far East as the
Chinese Gordon" of North China,
Col A. A. s. Barnes, for the past Is
years identified with the British gov
ernment In its occupation and coloni-
Zation OF portions of central and
northern China, is now returning to
England as a passenger in the Pacific
Mail liner Nile that today called at
Honolulu enroute to San Francisco.
Colonel Barnes, whose command of
the famous Weheiwai regiment was
marked by series of stirring engage
ments, and whose service rendered in
the Boxer trouble have gone down
into history as one of the notable
events in the Orient, is attached to
the crack Wiltshire regiment, sta
toned in Great Britain. He has been
ordered home to assume charge of
that organization. 1t was with much
reluctance that the officer left his as

his departure from Shanghai, Colonel
Barnes was rendered a rousing ova-

municipal organizations in adding to
the gaiety Of the occasion. A large
following of people from military and
civil walks of life accompanied the
popular commander on the 16-mile
journey down the Wangpoa from
Shanghai to Woosung, where the Nile
lay at anchor.
In the opinion of Colonel Barnes
the Chinese possess all the qualifica-
tions for making good soldiers This
has been readily demonstrated in re-
cent engagements in which they have
participated during the late rebellion.
1t has been pointed out thai the great
need today in China is for men quail
fed to serve as leaders in the forma-
ton and guidance OF military organi-
cations.
Colonel Barnes has had much expe-
rience in the handling. of-young Chi
nese. They figured conspicuously in
the several regiments sent to the
front in the rebellion. Equipped with
modern arms, and drilled according to
modern manual, the organizations, he
maintains, would be prepared to offer
a strong resistance.
Colonel Barnes is accompanied by
Mrs. Barnes, who is a social favorite
in diplomatic and military circles at
feking and Shanghai. Colonel Barnes
through his extensive acquaintance in
the East speaks the Chinese dialects
