participants were clothed in the noble simplicity
Of the olden days.
There are several Hawaiian organizations
striving against heavy odds to perpetuate the
fine traditions of q fast-disappearing people. 1t
is entirely possible that the annual Mid Pacific
carniyals will become a powerful agency to help
them. Each year can be staged one of the many
romantic and impressive stories that have been
handed down from generation to generation by

toms Of the ancient regime, the curious manners
and mysterious beliefs may be exemplified SO

ONE MAN RULE

( Col GOethals is believer in 0ne-man rule if
efficiency is to be secured and the new Panama
canal government carries out his ideas. Accord
ing to newspaper dispatches, Col. Goethals has
been clothed with authority to select the whole
force of employees to operate the Panama canal,
and undoubtedly will retain as many of the pres
emit staff asscan be profitably employed An or
der clothing Col. Hoethals with that power has
been issued by President Wilson at the instance
of Secretary Garrison, who is thereby relieved
from the necessity Of personally making the APP
pointments, though he retains the veto power
wherever he wishes to exercise it.
The executive order is very long, prescribing
in great detail the conditions of employment for
the individuals in general accord with the pres
ent regulations, with such notifications as are
regarded as necessary to meet. the changed con-
Editions resulting from the actual operation of
the canal.
The only exceptions in the right of appoint.
ment are in the cases of the district judge the
district attorney and the clerk of the court,
which appointments are retained in the hands of
the president under the terms of the canal act.
Col Goethals is allowed to fix the salaries
of the various kinds of employees subject to the
legal restrictions that they shall not exceed the
salaries paid for similar services in the CONT
mental United State by more than % per cent.
Even the number of employees is left to the judg-
ment of the governor of the canal, though some
time ago it was said that this had been estimated
at $500.
One-man rule is the idea behind the city man
ager form of government, which is: now being
given thorough try-out at Dayton, Ohio. Ho-
nolulu's costly lessons in municipal government
furnish plenty of argument against the division
of authority and jurisdiction among number of
officials none of whom is particularly respon-
sible to anyone else. Under such conditions it
is not strange that the officials do not feel partic
ularly responsible even to the people who elected
them. ii{.aN
