THE COLONIES FUTURE

Colonel Rooseyelt's letter to the Progfessiyes
of Hawaii will bring much comfort to the Bull
Moose supporters here. The Colonel displays
characteristic astuteness in supporting two is
sues Of much Importance locally, tariff on
sugar and federal aid for good roads. Nor does
he forget to put in few kind words for George
X. Carter, which should be of use to Mr.. Carter
in his campaign for delegate.
Mr.. Roosevelt is undoubtedly preparing for
the presidential election of 1916 The fall cleo
tions in the states should show whether the Pro
gressives are "going back nationally If Roose-
velt's fight to fuse the Progressiyes, progressive
Republicans and progressive Democrats of New
York and elect the Republican Human governor
is successful, he will be the logical candidate of
the Bull Moose forces for president in 1916
for he will again have demonstrated his quail
ties of leadership and campaigning strength.

ASPIRATIONS DANGEROUS
TO BALK

In the opinion OF many an acute and i'm
partial observer who has visited the Philippines,
the course of the administration there is one OF
shortsghtedness, The orderly processes of gov
eminent set up by the American people, under
which the islands made wonderful progress,
have been upset and the substitution of Filipino
officials will not be permanently successful
Yet there is an active party, in and out of
the Philippines, which is now fighting President
Wilson and the administration because the Fill
pinos are not being given independence more
rapidly and in greater degree.
TO what lengths these politicians would 60
is clearly indicated by the leading article in a
recent issue of The Philippine Republica, "A
Fortnightly Political Journal, 2 whose motto is,
1--WE want the Immediate restoration of the Phil
ippine Republic by whatever means and in what
ever FORM This journal published in Hong
kong and not in Manila urges the following
immediate measures:

A(b) To make ont of the body of constabulary

troll Of FiIipinos Our General Aguinaldo is

may be the result if these hopes and aspirations,

baked and disappointed

MORE REFEREES
IN BANKRUPTCY
FOR TERRITORY

A Fedieal change in the method
heretofore employed in the matter of
the appointment of referees in bank.
ruptcy for the territory. Is to be made
by Judge Sanford B. Dole, according
! to an announcement by him in the fed
eral court this morning. Owing to the
unusual press OF business throughout
the islands two new positions are to
be created and referees appointed to
the counties comprising Kauai and
Niihau. and Maui. Molokai and Lanai.
Hawaii and Oahu counties already
have referees, Judge Dole states that
Alexander Lindsay, Jr., will probably
be appointed tomorrow as referee in
bankruptcy for the county of Oahu, to
fill the position recently left vacant
by the resignation of George S. Cur.
ry, now H. s. commissioner. ...s..
The appointment of referees for the
two remaining counties, says Judge
Dole, is in strict adherence to the
law, although the law is hardly clear
I'm the matter. The law says:
Courts OF bankruptcy shall, within
the territorial limits of which they re,
spectively have Jurisdiction, III ap.
point referees, each for term of two
years, and may, in their discretion,
remove them because their services
are not needed and for otheE-cause,
and l2l designate, and from time to
time change, the limits of the districts
OF referees. so that each county, where
the services of referee are needed
may constitute at least one district.
Collier, on bankruptcy, has the fol-
lowing to say regarding the limits of
districts: :s "@. T.. ~. !
Under the former law, ait least one
register trefereel was appointed in
each congressional district This
seems to have been dropped out when
that law was fused into the revised
statutes. Now, the referee district is
fixed by the judge, but should be so
that each county may constitute at
least one District This seems to !.
mean that referee districts cannot be
larger than single county, a provis.
ion appa; entity ignored in many juris-
dictions. There is a warrant, how.
ever, for the practise, for the Judge
nay conclude that the services of a
referee are not needed in particular
county and combine it with another
county or counties into single re.
reree district.
Judge Dole said today that he will
appoint the additional referees as soon
= competent men may be secured for I
he positions. =

THE CAMPAIGN on MAUI.

Confirmation of the report that Palmer
Woods is going to cut seriously into the Demo
cratic vote on Maui and confirmation also of
Rices strength on Maui is indicated in the fol-
loving editorial from the Maui News;
The announcement this week that Palmer
Woods has entered the race with Link McCand-
less for the Democratic nomination for the dele
otfeship, together with the further statement
that McCandless has declined to withdraw in
favor of the Kohala leader, cannot but be con-
sidered good news to the Republicans, and par
ticularly to the friends of Charlie Rice. Woods
candidacy gives the Democrats something to
think about besides interfering in the Republican
contest 1t is particularly good news here on
Maui. where the local Democratic leaders had
their plans all laid to throw their whole weight
Il the primaries to Kuhios solely with the view
IL pregenting Rice from being elected at the
primaries, and giving McCandless a chance in
the November elections. Woods will cause a
Ills detection in the McCandless ranks and if
Link is to secure the nomination, it will mean
that every vote he can command must be used
n the primaries. There will be none to waste
in splitting the Republicans.

ONE OF THE REASONS.

Every now and then somebody complains that
the newspapers aren't printing enough details
about the European war and that rumors of
battles and other events are often followed by
denials.
Does it ever occur to these critics that every
nation in Europe is doing its utmost to suppress
all news except that which it wishes to go out
to the world? That the censorship is the most
rigid ever imposed? That each power is send
ing out favorable reports and suppressing IN
favorable reports? And that after the news
reaches the United States it is censored again
before it gets to Hawaii?
In spite of all this, the newspaper readers of
the territory have never before been given such
complete news service as they are now getting
on the European war.

cult Judge

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found the formal announcement

The only Office Mr.. Cox ever
