The announcement of Congressman
Thomas j. Scully, of the Third District,
that he is a candidate for d~elegate-at
large to the Democratic National Con-
v%ention, has created some stir because of
his attack upon the proposition that the
State Committee select the four delegates
at-large.
Il am unable to understand this pro-
posal," said Congressman Scully, Gin
view of the provisions of our primary
law, which puts National Convention del
egates-at-large in the same class at the
primary election with the candidates for
district delegates and all offices in the
State, counties, etc. Both the letter and
the spirit of the primary law provides
that any person desiring to become his
party's nominee for any office has the
right without the Intervention of a con-
vention or a caucus to submit his name
to the voters at the primaries provided
for that purpose.

ANOTHER STEAMSHIP LINE TO TOUCH
HERE.

Commenting on steamer line soon totouch
at Honolulu, the Dutch Java hina-Japan Lin,
a financial letter from San Francisco says:
"The foreign trade department of the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce has been act
lively engaged for several months in an en-
deayor to obtain new line of steamships be
tween this port and the Orient via Manila, to
offset the loss of the Pacific Mail boats, the last
of which left San Francisco on her farewell
voyage on September 10. 1t now appears that
the efforts Of the Chamber will be successful,
as it received, on September q, cablegram
from the Java China Japan Lin, very strong
company with head offices in Amsterdam, to
the effect that it was prepared to establish a
service beginning in December. This is very
grateful news to San Francisco, as it looked
for time as if the plan would fail, owing to
the Dutch company's objections to certain
phases Of the Seamen's Bill The proposition,
however, from a tonnage standpoint is so at
tractive that their fears seem to have been
overcome

EFFORTS
REPEAL CLAUSE
OF FREE SUGAR
Judge Wilder Says Prepared
/ eSs Program Will Make Big
i" Revenue Imperative

. That the repeal Of the free sugar
clause in the present tariff bill is a
good prospect is the opinion OF Judge
A: A. Wilder. who returned from
Washington today He says the
movement is strong not merely to sus-
pend the operation of the clause but
TO repeal il entirely. so that in the
future new legislation would be ne
Cessary to carry out the free-trade
pan decided upon by the Democratic
national administration.
He says that the proposal of Sena-
tor Gore of Observation-Disclosures to
he backed by the refining interests
I" place an excise duty on domestic
sugar in order to secure revenue has
attracted some attention, but that it
Goes not appear to have enough fol-
loving to make it formidable.
My private opinion is that the rev.
enue needs of the country are so
great with the program of prepared
ness before it that they'll have to re-
store the old Payne-Aldrich duty" he
comments There's no mistake
about the countrywide sentiment for
preparedness All sides and all par
ties want preparedness, though they
differ as to degree and methods. As
for Bryan and the pacifists; well,
Bryan and his friends would get alb
solutely swamped now if the matter
went to the vote of the country. At any
rate, the military program demands
SO much money that the Democrats
are going to need every bit of reVe-
nue. they can raise"

RAISE FUNDS FOR
MAINTENANCE OF
Central Church

With view TO raising the annual

Is IT COINCIDENCE?

Is it coincidence that the Progressive ma
tional committee should pick for its national
convention precisely the same date and place
as has already been chosen by the Republican
committee!
Hardly. 1t looks very much more like an
other of the master strokes of the master
politician Theodore Roosevelt. What better
opportunity could be devised for joining in the
holy bonds of campaign wedlock the riven
Grand Old Party than that of the week of June
z in Chicago!
Picture the scene The Republican conven-
tion will go into session with dozen ''favorite
sons" and responsibilities each with state
r-two to cast him complimentary vote. The
"big fellows of the east, of the financial
world of the political arena, will give these
fayorite sons the once-over and at a glance toss
most if not all of them into the discard. 1t will
take a real man to beat Woodrow Wilson, and
the party sachems know it. Back to Oblivion
will go most of the gentlemen now, admiringly
press ACCENTED far and wide over the country.
Perhaps two or three will be left They will
divide the vote, and there will be deadlock,
with neither side thinking enough of the others
candidate to throw its strength Perhaps there
will be hurrah- boys boom for Justice>Hughes
and perhaps Justice Hughes will decline to
doff the judicial ermine to put on the frock
coat and plaster-caSt smile of the candidate
Very possibly the matter will not get as far as
offering the crown to a reluctant Caesar
For there in another convention hall not far
away will be group of delegates yearning to
get back into the fold-under proper circum-
stances, of course, those circumstances being
principally that they can take whack at
Barnes, Root and Penrose, get plank or two
into the platform, and declare that Progress
ivism is not dead, though its supporters be few.
And there or thereabouts, unless human ma
ture has changed in sthe intervening FIVE
months, will be Short stocky, active gentle
man with salient fighting jaw and shining
white teeth perfectly capable of answering the
call for male person of hefty proportions to
lead reunited Republcanism to glorious
victory.
Yes, about the time the favorite sons have
been erased from the map and the delegates
settle down to the real work, somebody is going
to discover that the family squabble of 1912
was a mistake all around, that the pugnacious
son who hit his dad and busted out of the door
is ready to come back if Dad.will offer few
concessions next thing the convention
knows, there will be live Roosevelt boom
rampaging up and down the floor.

but the military policy of Oahu. The Shinpo
was one of the promoters of the proposed Jap
anese aviation exhibition and has been exhibit
ing its pique at intervals since. Not long ago
an American aviator was also refused permis-
sion to fly here but the promoter who was to
handle his flights did not thereupon rail at the
governor And the japanese must understand
that they are in America to obey American
regulations and laws. II. IT,.
The Star Bulletin does not believe the sentI-
ment voiced in the Shinpo editorial yesterday
is that of the japanese community, and we ex-
pect that the Japanese community will co.
operate with the Carnival management in the
same effective and appreciated way as it
has done in previous years. The annual Ian

Whitehouse says that he gave w. j.
Coon his two reports f6r two years
from January l, 1913, to. December 81,
+, when Coon asked him for figures
on which to formulate his report, but
that the reports viii never bear out
the statements made by the grand
jury :za ''=..-::.. T.. -.
Whitehouse denies that overhead
charges ever reach as much as so
cents on the dollar IN March,, 1913,
he says, the city and county spent $751;
$40 on road work, which was divided
as follows: Office expenses, s942;
stables, 1915; quarry, 1914; cleaning
streets, $1646; sprilrling streets, 1851;
repairs to equipment, $1264. Total,
Sf426.
He says that of this amount the
stable costs were charged to street
work, also the same was done with
the quarry charge, for rock from the
quarry went on to the streets. Office
expenses and repairs to equipment
form the only real overhead, he says,
or $1264 This, he says, is a long
way from 80 cents on the dollar. He
himself figures the overhead to be
about so cents on the dollars.

GOOD PREcEDENTs.

In their endeavor to change the city's fiscal
year and thus figure themselves out of fnan-
cial hole, the supervisors have good historical
precedent. A considerable time before such
entities as supervisors or fiscal years had been
thought upon, one Joshua commanded the sun
to stand still, and it is written that the sun
stood still while Joshua and the children of
Israel were shifting the Amorites. Awhile later
old King Canute attempted to sweep back the
tides as lesson to some courtiers who lacked
common sense. OF course while Joshua sue
ceeded, Canute failed, but maybe the super
yisors have found out where Canute made his
suit municipal convenience.

JAPANESE AND THE CARNIVAL.

Probably the opposition to participation in
the 1916 Carnival originally was the attitude
of very few japanese only, though with one
of the newspapers stirring matters up, others
will perhaps be persuaded that the japanese
community has a grievance. But it is an ex-
ceedingly poor way of getting attention for
a supposed grievance by starting what amounts
to boycott of the Carnival The Hawaii
Shinpo, which is agitating the subject, says
that the Japanese do not wish to participate
because of the anti-Japanese acts of Governor
Pinkham. This is not only nonsense, but dan
gerous nonsense. 1t stirs the very sort of preju-
dice that Hawaii tries to rebuke by constant
example. The Shinpo has been rapping the
governor ever since japanese aviator was re-
fused permission to fly here refusal in which
the officials voiced not an individual attitude

OFFICER ARRESTS
FIFTEEN NEGROES
HOUSE FILLED WITH LOCAL
AND VISITING NEGROES WAS
PULLED" WHEN TT BECAME
TOO NOISY.

Fifteen negroes, some of them from
places along the p. & A. road, were
arrested by Officer Chestnut yester-
day afternoon for disorderly conduct.
They were all reported in a house at
the corner of Tarragona and LaRua
streets yesterday afternoon, and were
said to have been very disorderly. The
officer summoned the patrol wagon
and sent the whole crowd 70 the sta
ton. The wagon was so crowded that
the officer, Patrolman Anderson, was
unable to find room inside so he rode
on the steps of the patrol TO the sta
ton.
While all are charged with dis
orderly conduct, the proprietor will
have to defend herself this morning
against an additional charge of keep
ing a dfsorderly place.
