Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.-
Sir.-AIl of this fuss about who
shall take the place of Pratt is un'
necessary. The most competent man,
of course; and the only man who can
deliver the goods in a position of that
kind is the man who understands the
work; and the man who has devoted
the best part of his life to postOffice
work is the only man who can really
make good.
Pacheco and Barron are both brainy
men, no doubt, but they are no more
fit for that job than l am or any other
man who is not familiar with the in
side workings of the postoffiCe. II

made it a study Of his life, who has
lad some practical experience in that
line Every business man in this town
knows the value Of special training.
The business manager Of the Star
bulletin would not appoint a barten-
der with no newspaper experience as
an editor of the Star-Bulletin; and
there are some brainy bartender5 to
my knowledge. So why put as head

KILLED LITTLE CHINESE

Manslaughter is the charge flied
against S. Nishimura who this morn
ing was arraigned before District Mag
istrate Monsarrat, it being alleged that
the death of 6-year-old Chang Wah lex
was the result of being run down by
automobile number 1896, IN which Nj
shimura was seated at the wheel.
The verdict presented by the jury
summoned by Coroner Rose yesterday
was to all intents and purposes an
open one in which Nishimura is held
responsible for the fatality, but alleg-
ing no negligence or earelessness.
The Japanese was given until July
% in which to enter a plea. As the
case is one of commitment, only
preliminary hearing can be held be-
fore the district magistrate who in any
event will commit the defendant to the
circuit court for trial. following an
indictment by the grand jury.

BIG in SITE AT
FAIR, EFFINGER
Commissioners Returns En-
Unused Over Prospect of Lo-
Cal Demonstration in 1915

Little Hawaii certainly put one
over when it secured the site on
which it will erect its building for
the Panama-Pacific exposition in San
Francisco in 1885, said John Effinger,
a member of the Hawaii Fair Com
mission, this morning, shortly after
his return from San Francisco where
he took leading part in the ground
breaking ceremonies. Across from
the California building and next to
the food products building, it is go
ing to be in the middle OF the most
widely travelled section of the exposi-
ton grounds.
Mr.. Eff1nger is enthusiastic regard
ing the prospects for the big part
which Hawaii is to play in the exposi-
tion. While the building will be
small, it will be one of the most at
tractive on the grounds, he says, and
the interior arrangements, as outlfn-
ed by Architect G.. w. Dickey, are be-
ing improved upon through his per
sonaI interest from the standpoint of
a sincere friend of the islands. The
contractor, while a young man, is
backed by excellent references from
banks and business houses in San
Francisco and Oakland, says the COM
missioner. Three thousand persons

feet that while We cannot bring to
California the volcano which We al

which smoked and logged and made
a bluff like old Lassan did; while we
cannot bring those sweet rainbows,

Says Roosevelt Sticks to De-
CiSion Not to Run for Gov

Tariff -sIashing Causes Bolt OF
Southern Bourbons to
Bull Moose Ranks

George w. Perkins, chairman of the
executive committee of the Progress
i've national committee, has written
to A. L. C. Atkinson, the Hawaii ma
tional committeeman, a personal let
ter in which the noted Bull Moose
chairman and party financier indi-
Gates that Col. Roosevelt will stick to
his decision not to run for governor
OF New York.
In the same letter, which was writ
ten in New York on July 9, Perkins
declares that sooner or later Bull
Moose ideas and IDEALS will prevail,
He says the Empire State voters are
thoroughly dIsguSted with both the
Republican and Democratic machines
in this state"
The letter says: ~ ~
"A. L. c. Atkinson, ESQ, Honolulu
Hawaii.
my dear Mr.. Atkinson: Colone.
Roosevelt was here at the office all
day yesterday, looking very well, but
with a pretty husky voice. The office
was crowded with people all day long
men of all political faiths from sew
eral parts of the State. There were
a great many Democrats and some
Republicans; of course, a great many
Progressives. They argued with him,
pro and con, most of the day on the
question of his running for governor
of New York, but the upshot of it all
is that the colonel is still of the opin-
ion that he expressed some time ago,
al fkaf IN
run. -
1T was extremely interesting.
though, to hear the Republicans and
Democrats from up the State tell him
how thoroughly disgusted the voters
are with both the Republican and
machines In this State. 1t
all goes to sheW that We were ever
lastingly right when we set out to
establish a party that would at least
try hard to respect the wishes of the
people and be fair and square with |
the voters. The more l see of the
situation the more am convinced |
that we were everlastingly right at |
Chicago; and that sooner or later the !
things We are contending for must
prevail. - |
Il enclose herewith very interest
ing article from this mornings New
York Sun, showing how the difficult
lies of the Democrats are increasing, |
and how strong We are growing in
State like Louisiana.
Sincerely yours,
geo. w. PERKINS"
The newspaper article to which Mr..
Perkins refers tells, of the abandon
nent of the Democratic party by the
Democratic congressional committee
,f the third Louisiana district and the
Bull Moose sentiment in
louisiana. It is explained that the
Democratic tariff policy, hitting Loui-
;iana's sugar, rice and lumber indus
ries, has opened serious rift in the
Democratic party and that indivi.
luals and organizations are flocking
o Bull Moose ranks.
The Suns article also says that
ieorge K Kindel, representative from
Colorado, has abandoned the Demo
ratio party and announced himself as
N independent He has quit, he de-
lares, because Wilson's Mexican poll
y is intolerable and the administra-
ions legislation has been detrimen-
