The Hawaiian spectacle at Waikiki yesterday
was as dignified as it was imposing Once and
forever was swept away any lingering uneasiness
on the part of the Carnival management that the
spectators might not appreciate pageant whose
participants were clothed in the noble simplicity
Of the olden days.
There are several Hawaiian organizations
striving against heavy odds to perpetuate the
tine traditions OF a fastdisappearing people. 1t
s entirely possible that the annual Mid Pacific
Carnivals viii 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
mclc and by word of mouth. The stately GUS
toms Of the ancient regime, the curious manners
and mysterious beliefs may be exemplified so
graphically as to fix and develop permanent in

among the thousands Of others, residents sansfs
visitors, who know little Of what pscreded the

one NAN RULE

Col. GOetl.sas is a believer in one-man rule if
effis.;-sfcy 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
emf staff as can be profitably employed. An or
der clothing Col Goethals 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
pointnents, 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
