The FORCE or GOOD CITIZENS IN P8uIlCs


District Attorney Whitman of New York says
that "the best possible government of city can
be accomplished only by a union of good citizens
working for that result If the good citizens
are divided and the spoilsmen and place hunt
ers are united, reinforced by the promoters of
vice, and advocates of wide open town, and
the man whose whole ideasof political duty is
LOYALTY tota machine, the victory of the spolsmen
will be assured before the polls are opened. .
Commenting on this the Outlook observes
i What is needed to assure victory for good gov.
eminent is not party nomination with an invita- .
ton to members Of other parties to give their sup
port, nor bipartisan nomination, with division
Of the offices between the parties but nonpartisan
nomination joined In by citizens, not members of
Democratic, Republican. and Progressive parties but
simply as citizens who are willing to leave party f.
issues to be debated in another field and at another
time 1t ought to be possible for such nom
partisan organization aCity Club, some purely
spontaneous and selfappointed committee, to call
resented not the several political organizations but
the Industrial, commercial and educational organize
y tions-and these not formally, but reaHy--and make
ths the basis for joint action, confederate of
political parties, but common of all good citizens
As to machinery the Republican, Democrats, Pro
gressiye and Socialist parties might well lend their
party workers to aid in such a moevment without
party disloyalty or loss of selfrespect.

THE DELEGATE or UNITED
HAWAII,
Honolulu. NAV 22. 1914

f1OuOluiu, MAY 70, l5lf.
Editor Honolulu Starr Bulletin,
Sir: In the letter of Mr.. Fleming
which appeared in your issue of May
22nd, he speaks of the necessity of
the representative of the territory of
Hawaii making good. This point is
one which should be uppermost in
the mind Of every voter in the COM
ing election and the means by which
the delegate can be given the power
TO achieve results should receive care
full consideration.
The national Democratic party has
now been in complete legislative and
executive control for over a year. Dur
ing this period it has wilfully. and in
spite of protest, brought the sugar in.
sdustry of Hawaii to the brink of ruin,
caused hundreds OF men in these isl
ands to be thrown out of employment,
crippled the merchants and brought
privation upon families whose say.
.jngs are invested in local Industries
Not content with this, It has consist
emily srefused office to local Demo
Gratis and has eyen.fSend angered the
autonomy Of the Democratic party of
Hawaii by injecting into 1T discord-
ant elements from the mainland. In
brief the national Democratic party
has slapped the local Democratic par
Ety in the face. Under the circum-
stances the mere instinct of self-pres.
ervation and the right to defend the
Industries by which he earns his liv-
ing should cause every thinking
Democrat to so cast Hs.'baliot as to
Tebuke the power that has brought
undeseryed hardship upon himself and
the territory, ,.-ss r <..-
The representative we send to Wash
ington must be able to achieve re-
suits or he is of no use to the terri
tory. To send Republican of how
ever great ability and, high standing
would be futile: he would be but an
inconspicuous member of the minor
ity, hereditary political foe of the
party in power, and So on principle,
one who must be thwarted in every
effort which he might make, even
though it be for thes obvious public
good of his community. No good for
the territory could result from such, a
selection by the voters.
But there is solution of the diff
Guilty, method Of entirely slipping
around the horns of the dilemma. and
this has been shown in Mr.. Fleming's
letter for those who would read be-
tween the lines. Let the new Progress
sive party of Hawaii at it's coming
primaries nominate a man of proven
ability, of experience in governmental
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1914-05-23

affairs and one who would fight for tha
interests of his constituency This
being done, let our Democratic fellow
citizens forget the sentimental ties Of
party for the larger good of conmun-
fly interests and vote for this man;
let all Republicans who desire rather
the prosperity of the territory than
the glory of having elected party
candidate vote for this man. Send
him to Congress as delegate OF
United Hawaii. free to affiliate with
the advanced element which more
and more is shaping legislation In our
national life. and he will be able 10
achieve results, and the industries Of
Hawaii and the territory at large viii
reap the reward.

Another report tells of an effective fly-killing
campaign, the children being stimulated to the
slaughter by a liberal bounty, On one day near

OF flies Individual catches are mentioned which
range from 10000 to 60,00O flies, but in some
eases large proportion Of them were cattle flies,
causing the bounty to be held up until it was de
eided whether the cattle species was intended to
be included for the reward. 1t was discovered
that the children were acute enough to carry fly
traps to the city dumps and the vicinity of
slaughter houses, where they caught both cattle
flies and house flies in large numbers Each
child that presented an unusually large haul
was asked where the insects were trapped, and
an inspector was then sent to eliminate, as far
as possible, the conditions under which the flies
were breeding
Some of the clippings relate to a campaign to
raise a fund Of $4,000 or $50,O0O to advertise
Salt Lake and Utah throughout the country dur
ing the next twelve months, which will pfecede
the great western movement to the Panama ex-
positions. Ten Of the most active organizations
in the city combined, appointing fifteen men each
as canvassers, to raise the money, and one swlirl
wind day was set on which it was determined
to rake in more than $4,000 A letter from the
chairman Of the joint advertising committee. who
was legretfully absent at the time, is quoted
which contains matter that should be of peculiar
interest to Hawaiian promoters at this moment.
The writer says: 3.
There meyer was such an opportunity offered a
commonwealth and community as is offered at

not only affords this opportunity, but makes the
foundation good7-as the advertising man would say,

turn equal to 100000 spent at any other time

The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-06-07

Birmingham so far as building is con cerned is as lively as in the palmiest days. This despite the fact that the city is not growing over 8 new Tutwiler build- ing being launched, or a new 25-story sky scraper for some of> the banks. So far as unusually large buildings go, the realty people are satisfied to see the Tutwiler, cost $1.500O00, nearing completion and almost ready for the opening June 15.
 The city is apparently sangune that the Roden hotel will be completed, and that an announcement of an authoritative and dependable kind will be made during the course of the next few weeks.
 In real estate circles sales during the past few weeks have been good. This healthy fundamental situation is so good and appeals so strongly to insurance com panies that money is obtainable for any new buildings in Birmingham. and they have been springing up with gratifying rapidity during the past few weeks.
 Taken on the average the year 1914 finds Birmingham in a most attractive posi- tion, so far as new buildings are con cerned. In fact, it was not later than yeSleTudy that Nat IL. Mllier announced that he intende dto construct building on his lot located on Fourth avenue, 15O feet east from the corner of Twentieth street That site is directly connected with the Caldwell lot on the corner of Fourth and Twenty-first street. The building of MT. Miller will be of pressed and plain brick with plate glass and will be modern in all details.
 It is planned at first to construct only a two-story building there which may be in time added to. Miller and Martin are architects for the Miller building. and have been authorized to ask for bids. The new building will be directly across the street from the new foufstory build- ing lately announced by Hood & Wheeler, the furniture dealers. The Hood building will cost about $65.OOO and will take the place of the shack for some time occupied by the Monarch livery company. but sub- sequently used as the store room and shipping department of the Hood & Wheeler company. That building will be
 in every respect modern and fireproof.
