The inner G. o. p. circles are now

plank in the platform denosncing it.
The Republicans have not many big
issues to discuss and some of the

SUMMER MADNESS" AND PROvINcIALIsM

Summer madness" the Advertiser calls the free
port idea for Honolulu and closes leading editorial
this morning thus: s,'..
II is nne thing to dream dreams. but it is finer
thing to make dreams come true, If they are within
the range OF probability. characterization OF Ho-
noiulu in order that someone dig up the pot OF
gold at the foot OF the rainbow will have to be ex
planned in great detail with blue prints plans and
specifications before many people will take much
stock in 1t.
Precisely why the free port plan would "de-Amer-
icanize Honolulu the Advertiser fails state. just
as our morning contemporary fails to any speci-
fc objections to the idea.
New Yorks commercial bodies did not consider
the free port move toward characterization
when they named a commission OF experts to go
abroad and study the workings of the system in Euro
pean cities. EE"
Boston and Baltimore did not believe they were
de- Americanizing themselves in investigating the
idea.
Frederick C. Howe, L. S. commissioner of inmi-
grafton did not understand that he deAmericati-
ling himself when he recently advocated the trial
of the plan in six cities of the United States.
There may be valid objections to the plan, but
de Anlericanization is not one of them The very
fact that American cities. seeing the tremendous in
dustfial development grogsooi1ut of the application
of the idea in such ports Hamburg, Copenhagen
and Bremen, have walked up and are beginning to
study the system ought to be valuable tip to Homo
lulu In some respects this city IS admirably located
for the application of the free port idea.
The Star-Bulletin is not prepared to say THAT the
idea should be adopted forthwith and holus-bous.
We have never advocated that. What we do say is
that an adequate investigation of the system and the
possibility of its use in Honolulu. should be made by
adequate investigators.
Where in the name of American enterprise would
our nation have been had its businessmen not dream
ed dreams and made them come true? Are we get
ting so provincial that we turn down idea simply
because it has worked we'll elsewhere?

The voters ol mississippi yesterday
declared themselves unqualiiedly op.
posed to the fish and game law, which
Governor Bilbo has SO vigorously es-
poused
Because Mississippi was so little in
terested in any other contest, the votes
have been slow in coming in, and it
is impossible to state this morning by
what majority the Richardson. .Bilbo
law was defeated. Indications, how
ever, point to defeat of from three
to four to one.
In Hattiesburg, for instance, there
were 5G4 votes against the law and
215 for the law. 1t is generally be.
lieved that in the farming counties
the vote will be still heavier against
the law and as Hattiesburg, voted two
to one against the law, it would not
be unreasonable to suppose that the
differential is twice as great in the
country.
The vote all over Mississippi was
light, the game and fish law being
practically the only contest to call the
electors to the polls.

HARRISON LEADS IN
HAlT|ESDURG BOXES
CONGRESSMAN FROM SIXTH PRE-.
clNcT "MoPs UP" WITH so
i clALIsr OPPONENT.

Congressman B. Pat Harrison led
his ticket in the Forrest county vot'
ing yesterday.
Returns received early today indi-
Gated that the Gulfport lawyer-states-
man had been given a similar vote
throughout the southernmost district
of Mississippi.
Maxwell, his Socialist opponent, re.
ceived fairly good vote, but this
was not negligible.
The Socialists, for some reason, did
but little electioneering in South Mis-
sippi, and many voters went to the
POLLS yesterday, and for the first time
we're aware of a Socialist candidate
for Congress from this district, when
hey were handed ballot.
Harrison polled more votes than did
woodrow Wilson or John Sharp Will
liams.
"Pat" Harrison will go back to
washington on March as practically
the unanimous choice of the Sixth
Congressional district OF Mississippi
rs its representative.
Harrison is in Gulfport today, hay.
ing returned there Monday after tour
ing the Middle West in the interest
of President Wilson.

During the first OF the evening, the

That Hattiesburg appreciated the

the citizens and citizenesses began tc
drop, and by 8 o'clock they were con
fident that their fayorite had lost.
But the hopes of the crowds werf
strong, and their ardor was not damp
ened. They stood in front of The
News office, sat in the soft chairs at
the Elks' Club, or stayed near the
telephones at their homes, and tele
phoned at. regular intervals to This

characterize an election night in other

the tin ballot boxes. OF course it tool
time to unfold these.
There was no disorder on the streets
during the night. Chief Bennett hat

Hughes, also a fine healthy rooster
with the picture of Wilson. The
hen had her head dropped nigh un-

ter was game to the limit-a very

the sick hen found peace from her
ailments in the bon fire while the
proud rooster was left to crow in
