CHARTER REVISION.

"A casual glance at the lineup for the coming
city charter convention shows the preponder-
ance of sentiment in the convention is likely to
be against the "short ballot form of govern
ment for Honolulu.
There is a widespread distrlst among the
Hawaiians, as expressed in the speech of an
Hawaiian editor at the AID Club yesterday.
They fear that their franchise rights are to be
curtailed if any of the present elective offices
are to be abolished.
There is almost general apathy among the
.'haoles." Most of them have paid no attention
to charter revision and take no interest now in
theiplans for the convention.
They are ready to criticise the present city
government without going underneath surface
indications to find the causes for inefficiency,
waste, conflict, friction and blockade of
business
Professional politicians, who thrive off cleo
tons, will foster. the sentiment of distrust
among the Hawaians and will take advantage
of the apathy on the part of other voters.
What is needed, if this convention is to
amount to anything, is a live campaign of edu-
cation in every precinct by those who believe in
charter revision sincerely enough to give some
real work to it. If once the electorate of Homo
lulu understands thoroughly why and where
the present charter is defective, and how and
where it can be remeded, new charter will
become an early reality.
An argument that should appeal to tile rank
and file of the voters is that if the structure of
city government is made more efficient, ire
mendous saving in overhead expense can be
secured for the city and corresponding in
rrpase I'm the amount of money available for
permanent improyements-wh means more
work for the laborers of the city.
Some of those who. have hoped and worked
for new city charter are inclined to throw, up
their hands in disgust because the convention
will be made up of so many men openly or more
or less opposed to charter revision. The man
who quits in disgust never gets anywhere or
anything. Let the advocates of charter revision
fight for their ideas all the harder because there
is imminent danger of reactionary majority.

for license renewals The specific grounds of
protest were not required; the attorneys ad
vanced general grounds that the applicants had
made misstatements~ to the commission con
corning ownership of their business that the
law was being violated; that public policy de
manded investigation of certain businesses. In
one case. that of The Macfarane Company,
''frenzied finance was charged against the
company. -
The commissioners got down to business yes
terday and put every applicant on record as
to the ownership or partnership in his business.
Next comes the task of deving into those Ii
censes which are matter OF protest or con-
troversy. .s..... - ..~-. +.
A real public service will be done by the COM
mission if it makes thorough investigation of
these disputed licenses and protested bust
nesses. There is every reason to suppose the
commission intends to do this. 1t has started
its work in a businesslike cleancut way.
1t is only justice for the liquor men as well
as for the public that a thoroughgoing investi-
cation be made. The atmosphere needs clear
ing Ii the saloon men have been operating
under clandestine and illegal ownership, they
should be given exemplary punishment; if they
shave been operating in lawful and above
board manner, they should be freed from all
suspicion. <......s.. ~
The license commission has a really great
opportunity. 1t is expected to measure up to
that opportunity and to do it's duty so vigor
olIsy that when the investigation is over, the
public will feel renewed confidence that the
administration and superintendent of the
liquor licenses of Oahu are in capable hands.

these saloons. We have pretty
straight case.
IF the board is willing, with its
mower to subpoena witnesses, we want
it to call for a report from the brew
cry to throw a light on situation
concerning which there has been a
strong popular suspicion for some
time as to these illegal relations.
That is all the league desires an
investigation" he added
It was learned today that the liquor
license commission has secured the
services of Attorney Clarence H. Oh
son, who will act largely in the ca
pacity of adviser. the encouragement
being absent from the territory.
Doctor Wadman declares the Anti
Saloon League has started the fight
simply from a standpoint of public
welfare, and that it has no other in
terest in the matter.
"If the board for some good reason
cannot see its way clear to call for
such report from the brewery, then
it is highly possible that the league
will appeal to the public he says.
THE league is determined to fight
this thing to the end. The league is
not against these saloon men against
whom it has entered protests. 1t is
merely working for their welfare.

The community looks to the Oahu license
commission to get at the bottom of the protests
made Yesterday against applications for re-
newaIs of liquor licenses.
The opportunity is here and the machinery
of law has been provided for a ventilation OF
the liquor business in Honolulu such as has
never before been given.
For several years past there have been WINS
pered hints and vague rumors that several of
the retail liquor licenses were rather closely
involved with the Honolulu Brewing q Mating
Uompany-too closely, in fact, for the licensees
TO wish much public attention turned on the
matter. Never before has the commission been
able to summon witnesses and put them under
oath, to call for books and demand documents
The last Legislature gave the commissioners
powers they long had desired and now comes
the opportunity to use those powers fearlessly,
energetically and justly.
The atmosphere is charged with rumor. Pro
