ONE new PLANK
INPLATFORM Of
THE bull MOOSE
Aid to Small Farmers Urged
Some Minor Changes From
the Tentative Draft

The final draft of the Progressive
party platform was completed yester-
day and announced today The plat
form is little different from that pub
lished several weeks ago in the Star
Bulletin, the tentative draft then sent
cut having been little changed by the
precinct clubs to which it was sub
mitted
The only noticeable change of I'M
pOrtance in the final draft is the adj
dition of plank Endorsing the plan
Of an agricultural credits system to
be put into effect by the territorial
government in connection with devel-
opment of small farming. The plank
is as follows: ..... -.
"22. We believe that the revenue
from the lease of government lands
should be used to create a special
fund for the purpose of making loans
to individual owners and lessees of
agricultural lands"
The other changes are additions or
amendments to planks already out
lined, and are published below, the
changes being shown in blackface
type:
-. We believe that the next legis-
lature should call convention to re-
wise the charter of incorporation of
the city and county of Honolulu, and
should extend the same privilege to
the other counties.
10. We believe in the strict en-
forcement of the present liquor law,
and that the power of the commission
ers should be extended to permit
them to summon witnesses to testify
under oath, false swearing before the
commission to constitute perjury"
10. We believe that efficiency and
character should be the true tests of
public service, regardless Of race. and
that all employees of the government
should receive appointment, promo
ton or dismissal in accordance with
well-dcfned rules of Civil Service"

The GOVERNORS APPOINTMENTS

The test of Governor PinkhMn's policy in the
matter of appointments to territorial offices is
the test of results
The governor was appointed as a Democrat,
by a Democratic president. He will be looked
TO by Washington to interpret into the affairs
of territorial government the policies, the aims,
the ideals of President Wilson and the Demo.
cratic administration in national government
No one with any knowledge of the problems the
governor is facing can expect that the chief
executive of the territory will do otherwise than
ia surround himself with men who will not only
carry out the governors administrative ideals,
but carry them out with full sympathy, sincere
cooperation and the spirit of an eager and en-.
thusiastic determination to make the admins
tration a success
1t is obvious that the governors natural Iogi-
cal and indisputable course is to make up his
.cabinet'' of men who combine ability with this
Characteristic of sincere cooperation with their
chief .
Such being the ease, the wisdom of the GOV
errors appointments is not so much in the kind

NEWSPAPER CONFIDENCE..MUST IT Be BROKEN?

The federal grand jury ;tnl the federal court
OF Hawaii have devoted considerable attention
this week to an effort to compel the city editor
. OF the Star Bulletin, Mr.. Will Wayne, to Iii
yulge the source of Il rrImor concerning grand
jury action. The nrwspap rman declined Il"
do so, and was prepared t" accept the c"nSe-
quences of what would probably he held con
tempt of court. The situation did not progress
so far, however. as the individual whose chance
remark brought the rum0r 10 the newspaper,
mans ears voluntarily agreed 10 tell the grand
iury the circumstances under which the ru-
NOR passed along.
In respectfully anil firmly declining to d.
yulge the source of his information until he
could do so without breaking confidence Mr.
Nayne has had and continues to have the entire
support of this paper, just as he has the support
OF eyety selfrpspecting newspaper and newSpa-
permah.
Federal Judge Clemens holds that commu-
nication to IA newspaper is not privileged
Communication" under such circumstances as
those in the present case. We have. no quarrel
with the judges legal presidents or his state
ments of the case. But we maintain that Il
newspaperman must uphold his right to the si-
cred preservation of a confidence when he is
convinced that it thYarts no Justice conflicts
with no greater right
The usefulness of newspaper ms an organ of
public information and public opinion is built
on its ability to keep confidence It's sources of
Information must often be kept secret If the
Newspaper errs if it's news is Incorrect, lbelous,
Misleading, the paper must stand the conse-
qutnces and is ready to stand them. Sufficient
remedies are provided in law for those who have
bona fide grievances against newspaper be
cause of any publication.
If newspaper must commit breaches of con
iidence, il will lose its usefulness in week
Avenues of information will be closed News
to which the public is entitled, news involving
the safety, often, of government. of, life and
property, cannot be secured. The newspaper
man must be able in many cases to tell his in
fOrmant that the source of information will be
held i'm confidence.
Preservation of confidence is the moral Spirit
of any newspaper that aims to serve the public
good. We are aware that several court leci-
sions are against this view We are aware also
that time after time newspaperman has main
tanned his right and taken the consequences.
not seldom going to jail because he refused to
break confidence under pressure by grand jury
or court.
So far as the Star-Bulletin is concerned this
paper has no use for reporter or an editor who
will break confidence. When his Judgment and
his conscience alike tell him that his attitude is
not in conflict with the essential Justice in the
case, he upholds necessary tenet in newspaper
practice by keeping the faith
On these grounds we may fairly differ with
Judge Clemens and his memorandum opinion

In presenting his record in con-
gress to the people of Idaho Senator
Brady says:
THE members of the Idaho dele
CATION in congress have at all times
worked in harmony and for the best
interests of the people OF Idaho. or
course it is acknowledged by all that
Senator Borah is the dean of the
delegation and has led the way in
matters of national and international
character Senator Brady has coop
Grated with Senator Borah in every
way and has worked in entire har-
mony with him, but as a business
man he has given more especial at
tention 10 the business interests OF
the state and TO the needs and wants
of the homesteader, the Idaho bust
ness man, and the farmer, but he
claims no more credit along these
lines than should be given to Con-
gresham French and Congressman
Smith for the splendid labors they
have performed. He does not seek
reelection by tearing down the char
acter or discrediting the accomplish
ments of others.
The people of Idaho undoubtedly
will hesitate at the primaries TO sac
rifce the splendid position which
the state has obtained in the upper
house of congress in Senator Brady 5
remarkable advancement to high
places on good committees, says the
American Falls Press.
Senator James H. Brady was elect

Being an ardent supporter OF the
wilson administration places Mr.
Hawley In the position OF being one
of the most influential citizens OF the
state. and should his election follow,
which now seems quite probable. II
would place him In position In the
senate to accomplish more for Idaho
than we could possibly expect from
any other member. and as such We
can safely assure the people OF this
tract that the same interest will be
taken In their welfare by Senator
Hawley" as was manifested during
his two terms as governor or tn,
