NO NEED OF IT.

There need be absolutely no fight between
the Republican county committee, or any Re
publican committee. and the new city officials
over the matter of patronage.
In the first place the county committee lead
ers have no desire to make demands OH the
officials that Republican henchmen be given
jobs. The committee chairman has declared
this time and again.
In the second place, the city officials ought
to and probably do realize that voters of Oahu
IN the last election repudlated the patronage
method of doing city business. Because the
then board of supervisors played too much
patronage politics, there was revolt The
board was voted out summarly A mayor and
board were voted in pledged to certain reforms.
1t is silly to talk of achieving these reforms
with a set of incompetent employes-and en-
ployes whose efficiency is measured by the
patronage standard are certain to be incom-
petent.
Chairman Coombs of the county committee
has taken exactly the right stand in declaring
that the mayor and every other city official
will have free hand in making appointments
and that the activities of the committee Will
extend only to giving to the new officials list
of good Republican workers.
If the other members of the committee do
not back up the chairman in this stand, the
voters at large are going<t to be heard from, the
taxpayers are going to be heard from.
There is no occasion for split between the
committee and the new officials and most of
the talk concerning such split is the talk of
makers r." ~

ON TRIAL

r Self government is on trial in Hawaii. Local
ability to handle local affairs, and handle them
effectively and economically, is under the acid
test
+ The territorial administration is making in
cessant efforts for an economical handling of
nffairs during a critical financial period No
less must the municipal and county govern
ments cut their cloth without waste Certainly
an Improvement must be made over the records
of recent municipal administrations.
Though the national Democratic party is
the party of states rights and ostensibly of
home rule, the tendency in the past two years
has increasingly been to settle Hawaii 5 affairs
at Washington without much consultation To-
cally. Witness the difficulty of getting hear
ing OH the sugar tariff; witness the appoint
ment of mainIanders to federal offices. Re-
Gently the news came that the house had
passed bill seriously limiting appeals from
the territorial supreme court to the supreme
court of the United States-passed the bill
without any copsultation of Hawaii. These
are illustrations-many more could be cited
of the manner in which Hawaii is being admin
istered from Washington.
Porto Rico is making strenuous efforts to
secure more home-rule. Governor Arthur
wager went to Washington to work for it. The
island desires a bicameral insular legislature
instead of the present appointed council Main
land papers have taken up the cause OF the
Porto Ricans Thus we find the Christian
Science Monitor declaring that the lower courts
should be presided over by natives, the legis-.
lature given wider powers, and the island put
in line for the rank of territory and later that
of state,
Porto Rico has no such record of a self
government of generations as has Hawaii; no
such home written body Of laws, recognized for
their breadth of authority; no such history OF
voluntary annexation. If ever a territory's
record argued for broader powers OF self
government, that territory is Hawaii. 49,
Self government must not break down under
the tests that are put upon it more and more
heavily 1t must stand up and move forword.
bis no easy test the new city administration
must undergo. Honolulu's problems of good
streets and good roads; an adequate water
system; police and fire protection; the SUPPORT
of educational and charitable Institutions; the
whole development of the city to meet its COM
mercial future; all these demand wise heads
and firm hands.
The new city administration is not leglslat-
ing and acting for the Republican party, nor
even for Honolulu alone. In very real sense,
its record will have great bearing upon the
matter of self government in Hawaii

would be very real asset in the entertainment
of tourists. The Hawaiian village idea is splen-

The Lion and The Mouse

AS presented by the Ralph Clonin-
ger Co. last Monday night proved to
be big success. As a play it is the
most powerful story ever presented in
this city. Mr.. Cline must have been
inspired when he wrote it, the manner
in which he tells the story Of love and
politics is wonderful and played by
such clever people as the Cloninger
Co., II Is a treat for theatre goers.
Mr.. Cloninger as Jefferson is just
immense. His style Of acting fits him
like a glove in the play, and well
supported by Miss Kendall, as the
Mouse, they give "top notch" per-
Torrance. The climax of the third
act fairly brings the audience to their
feet. Mr.. Roach as the Lion done
the best and strongest piece of work
we have seen him in. The battle of
wits between Ralph and Roach is q
work Of art. The rest Of the Company
ably assisted them and kept the Clon-
niger standard up to the top.
