A FILIPINO PAPEo.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin
Sir: A bit Of news has appeared iD
the papers that Filipino newspaper
will be- published in Honolulu some
time in the near future, and that the
paper will be edited by Mr. Pablo Man
lapit, president OF the Filipino Labor
ers' Association Of Hawaii; and that
the aim of the paper will be 10 up,
lift the FilipinOs and teach them their
relation to the United States as citi-
zens and harmony with the residents
of Hawaii
Now Of course We don't question the
ability of Mr. Manlapit to edit a paper.
and perhaps what this gentleman does
not know about editing paper will fiji

intelligence which he manifests nov
and then in thunders OF eloquent ora
tory. And as president Of the Filipino
Laborers Association of Hawaii.

he could really edit a paper
But we are rather inquisitive and
ask as to the real aim of the said
paper. To uplift the Filipinos? This
we don't quite comprehend And we
should like to have a little light on
the matter
Once upon a time there was a news

GETTING GOOD MEN INTO OFFICE.

Opponents of the "short ballot form of city
government have put forth an argument that
Is childlike in its naivete. They say that the
form of government doesn't matter much
that the necessary thing is to eject good men
to office. ss .gs as = IT, re-
AS some of the spokesman for this position
are disappointed office seekers, their objections
may perhaps be exlolainable> upon the ground
Of chagrin. Bat. Id addition THE argument
itself shows peculiarly well how little, those
who use it have studied the Short ballot y
system in theory or practise 1t is to make it
easier for the average voter to choose good
men, and to encourage good men to offer them
selves as candidates, that the short ballot sys-
tenn has been applied in American cities.
Thus those who say that the main thing is to
elect good men to office, and who simultaneous
Ii oppose the short ballot system, are trying to
hold two irreconcilable positions. Their logic
is conspicuous by its absence.
The short ballot system aids in getting good
men into city office because it places strong
definite and constructive powers under the
control of the elective officers, and puts pre-
MUM on ability, loyalty, energy and alertness
in the appointive offices.
1t strikes at the foundation of the dscredited
system which puts bad men into office-the
system of exchanging votes for jobs the pat
ronage system.
1t frees the elective offices from the control
of political bosses thus encourages in
dependent minded men to offer themselves as
candidates
1t frees the appointive offices from the con-
troll; of political bosses-and thus encourages
independent minded men to enter the city's
employ with the assurance that if they 'make
good they can stay.
Honolulu has elected many good men to
office, and in private conversation not a few
Of them have again and again complained that
they we're hampered in freedom of action and
In clean cut work by situation largely due
to the present charter.
OF course no system will work by and of
itself. Of course good men are necessary to
get the best results from government, That
is truism so well known that it is trite. Those
who, keep on repeating it add about as much
to the sum total of human knowledge as man
who remarks that it is fine day. The thing
IS self-evident The logical step is to create
government system which aids instead of
hampers getting good men into politics and
into city offices. The "shOrt ballot" system
has done this with notable success elsewhere
That is why it's advocates believe it would help
matters here.

THAT'S 1T.

What is needed most of all in charter revision is
provision whereby the good men" elect will not
be wasted in governmental system that hampers
individuality by difusng responsibility and
thorty that very little be done-The Advertiser.
Our morning contemporary is correct And
the "short ballot" system is the system which
centers instead of diffuSes responsibility.
