CHANGE HAWAIIAN GOVERNMENT
Leaders Would Rather be Under Com.
mission Form.

HONOLULU, Dec. "A strong effort
will be made here soon to have Ha-
waits government changed from the
territorial to the military commission
form, according to movement started
today To all outward appearances, it
is safe to say that the demand will
have the unanimous backing of the res
idents Of the islands. That is to say,
everybody who is anybody" in Hawaii
will be back of it. Very few people
in Hawaii, however, are anybody"
The islands are owned and control
led by an exceedingly small clique
Hardly more than half dozen estates
hold title to practically all the land
which is worth holding title to- The
same interests own all the shipping,
jobbing and even retail business of any
great Importance. Through their own
ership of nearly every means of living
on the islands these same interests,
represented by a numerically very
small group, control everyone else who
lives here Whoever objects to their
control is starved out in short order
The big interest have long wanted
such a form of government as prevails
in the Philippines. Their reason for
it is very simple. Lorin Andrews, for
mer United States district attorney
here, expressed it consisely in a recent
interview in San Francisco, cabled
back to Honolulu and published in the
local newspapers.
'The change will be a good thing
for the business interests of the is
lands" said Andrews, because all the
offices will be filled from Washington
and the Objectionable elections will be
dispensed with" The Objectionable |
elections" are what the big interests |
do not like about the territorial form |
of government. The islands must have |
labor and there has been scarcity of
it ever since Oriental immigration was
stopped To offset it, workingmen have
been brought in in large numbers from
southern Europe in recent years. This
population has not yet been
seriously troublesome at the polls but
a second growth of them, native born
and entitled 10 vote, will be reaching
The right age in the near future to be-
come menace to the ruling class.
The native-born Japanese have been
source of worry for some time. Hence

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-They saw the
star last night-those helpless human
derelicts in Madison Square and per-
haps they will be more hopeful. The
| idealists aimed at that result. Though
hope is supposed to beat eternal in the
human breast, the brand of expectancy
around Madison Square has been at
low ebb for many years. The hopeless
and jobless have first claim on the
benches in the old rectangle and their
share of hope has been limited, but
the star may help.
The idealists-a group of charitable
and benevolent New Workers with
more money than their own needs re-
quire, who were careful that their
names are not made public-erected
the star. 1t is a five-pointed emblem,
two feet across, set on a high pole
Scores of electric bulbs that compose
the star shed their pure white rays
over Madison Square, from sunset to
sunrise. The star will shine every
night, except during Christmas week
when the tree of light"-a huge pub

The idealists founded the Madison
Square Christmas tree, too. They put
it up last Christmas, huge Christmas
tree from the Maine woods, and cover
ed it with countless electric bulbs, of |
all colors. Every night. from Christ |
mas eve to New Year, the tree shone |

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Wilson's message delivered
In person before congress needs no en-
larged comment concerning the direct
subject matter contained therein, how
ever, the message stands out as a gem
in thought because of its extreme sim
plicity, yet force and strength of ar
gument.
The president deals with each i'm
portant problem in a practically one
syllable statement making it easy for
the rank and file to receive the full
gist of his thought without delving
further into the intricacies of legisla-
ton.
His brief handling of the Mexican
situation at once brings to the minds of
the public his tolerance of the Huerta
regime with patience that breathes
pity and charitable thought for the
torn ridden republic. The president
has refrained from going into detail on
the conditions existing there but in
lang udS6 lull VI uOpclui COllSlutl dllOH
makes clear the real purpose of the
administration.
He reviews the prosperity of the coun-
try and the honor and obligations due
the world from the United States. He
touches on the banking and currency
problem and the rural credit plans
pointing out the necessity of the nation
in reorganizing the business end of the
farm and hopes to place that division
in the same category with other bust
ness and Industrial lines.
The president has touched on many
OF the domestic problems facing the adj
ministration and his remarks are so
brief as to at once suggest his thoughts
as going far toward educating the peo
pie of the nation of the problems that
must be dealt with by congress.

is not, however, that the game will not

merely that his activities as a profess

five years of teaching and spreading

Vardon has snug fortune, and after
this will mere take part in the game as

DEFENDS HER WRITINGS
Young Miss Pankhurst Criticized for
Her Literary Work.
Was Well Heeled.

| LONDON, Dec. 2.-Prompted by the
recent threats Of suppressing the Suf-
fragette on account of her startling
series of articles on sexual diseases,
Miss Christabell Pankhurst, in the cur
rent issue, prints spirited defense of
her action.
These articles have simply told the
truth about sexual diseases, the extent
to which they ravage the population,
the reason why they exist, the manner
in which they can be prevented, pre-
vention being, as as been carefully
shown, the only real cure" she says.
Where is the indecency in all this?
That the existence Of sexual disease
and the immortality that is it's cause
are indecent, we are the first to admit.
But to tell the truth about such evils
and to fight for their abolition is the
most decent thing that is possible for
human beings to do.
IF, however, the Suffragette be con-
victed of indecency then equally guilty
of this offense are the famous medical
men who have melted us to our plain
speaking. A little while ago forty of
the most prominent doctors in Eng
land, signed memorial appealing to
the public to demand the appointment
of royal commission which should in
vestigate the facts concerning sexual
disease and recommend steps to be
taken to cope with it. In the course
of this memorial the doctors said:
There has always been a conspiracy
of silence as regards veneral diseases |
The time, however, has come when it |
IS a national duty to face the facts and |
10 bring them prominently to the no
ice of the public.
1T is all very well to try to prevent
he indiscriminate dissemination of
acts but the upholders of 'decency'
lave never yet succeeded, in spite Of
III their secrecy and hushing-up, in
preventing the indiscriminate dissem-
nation of sexual disease among the
1Oral and the immoral alike"

Harlem Tommy Murphy.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The friends Of
Harlem Tommy Murphy are anxious
to see what kind of showing he will
make at San Francisco tonight in his
bout with Willie Richie. In view of
Murphy's poor exhibition with Packey
Mcfarland here recently, Richie, on
the form he displayed against Gross,
should win without extending himself.
In that event he would find it worth
while to meet Cross again in longer
battle. 1t is doubtful, however, if
Richie will come east again until after
the first of the New Year, unless man
ager Gibson can arrange match with
him in Madison Square Garden after
the six-day bicycle race which begins
next Saturday midnight.

SAY o'DoNNELL HAD NO RIGHT
TO FINE THE PAINTERS
President James Short of the
Building Trades Dept of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor last night
attacked the excessive fine of $4,000
imposed on the Painters District
Council by Simon O'Donnen and his
executive board of the Building
Trades Council.
The attack made by the interna-
tional president was entirely I'M
looked for and was a severe jolt to
O'Donnel1 and his aids.
1t came after the Building Trades
Council had agreed to seat the paint
ers' delegates upon the payment of
the fine. O'Donnen took no active
part in, the decision leaving that to
his executive board.
The painters will pay the fine I'M
der protest. 80.
I'VE are going to hold d special
meeting tomorrow, SAID l.. Z. L1nde-
loft, secretary of the Painters Dis
trfct Council, "and it is probable we
will pay the fine under protest and
then take the matter up at our inter-
national convention to be held in Sc
attic next month. There is nothing
in the laws of the Building Trades
Council that gives the right to i'm
pose such a fine"
F. B. Hedrick, international presi-
dent of the painters, also protested
against the fine, but O'Donnen seem
determined to go through with it re-
