A CITY NEED
From the days news:

From the days news:
Mrs Mary Akki. suffering from tuberculosis,
was compelled to spend last night at the police sta
ton on account of there being room for her at
the Leahi Home until today, and from the fact that
the authorities at the Queens Hospital refused to
receive her. under the rules. Police Officer David
Hoa found the wandering aimessly about the
Oahu Railway station last night at o'clock, and
upon being questioned sh said she had arrived
the train from Waianae and without doctors
certificate to her condition"
The way to end such pitiful happenings as
this is to build the municipal hospital long de
manded of Honolulu, or at the least to establish
the emergency ward at the police station recon-
mended some time ago by the civil service com
missioners. Strectwork is needed badly enough
but which is more important, to relieve suffer-
ing and render aid to the injured or to pave
streets?

He speaks as Democrat to his Dempcral q
associates he recognizes the value party and
and party organization in Democratic admins
istfation. At the same time, he makes it plain
that the administration must be based on bust
ness principles, thatit cannot countenance lazi-
ness or incompetency. He says:
Government has become vast business organi-
cation requiring the highest experience character,
capacity and efficiency in those charged with con-
Quoting its details. 81
Any change in the masters OF these details must
proceed In natural order that there may be no
toward disturbance in the organized business of the
government 81 s#sts

lions and correspondingly BY the present s

Governor Pinkham asks that candidates for
office be men who can be given the personal in
dorsements of their friends and acqnaiutances
He will weigh carefully the abilities and attain
ments Of such candidates. and he cheerfully as
sumes the responsibility for the final choice.
Tt cannot be said that he has denied encour
agement to the Democratic party He has called
q conference of party leaders and frankly laid
before them his ideals and his principles in
choosing appointees Has the party men who
can measure up to this standard? And who will
say that it is not fair standard?
No party can be permanently successful
merely on the basis of the number of appoint
ments it secures for it's henchmen. Were that
the basis of success, the Republican party would
rule Congress and reign in the White House to-
day; in Honolulu the Republican party would
not have been dethroned last November. AS the
governor says, 81 desire to urge all Democrats
to bear in mind that the strength of the party is
in what it accomplishes for the good of all the
people"
Democrats, Republicans, Progressives - men
of any party - serve that party best who put
efficiency of service above number of precinct

principal figure.
The call came from the Pryor Ho-

ed Barber, who, with his young bride,
was arraigned before Recorder

1t developed then that nobody was
willing to stand sponsor for the
charge, and the case was about to col
lapse when it developed, through the
evidence of DR.. @. w. Smith. a drug
gist at No IL Carol street, that
there were other features calling for

Mrs Barber had secured a divorce
from Chance and the Recorder
thought an investigation necessary
He had Barber and his wife put

Mrs. Barber explained Smiths ami
mus with the declaration that he had

had threatened TO kill her If she
didn't. Smith. however, said she had
entered his drug store and thrown
