CARBOHYDRATES
=, LEAVE TOMORROW
Will Try Hard To Get Votes
As Well As Seats In
Convention

The delegation from Hawaii to the
national convention in Chicago will
leave here in the Wilhelmina tomor-
row. 1t will consist of Delegate ]. X.
Kalanianaole and Henry J. Lyman, as
delegates, and A. l.. Castle and W. C.
Achi, as alternates, with Robert w.
BreckOns as national committeeman-ex-
pectant.
The selection Of the national commit
teeman is left to the delegates. Fail.
ing an agreement on their part the ma
tional committee selects the man when
the qualifications of the candidates are
made known to its members. In the
present case there are two schemes on
FOOT to get the position for Breckons.
One is that Lyman and Kuhio will vote
for the latter as national committee
man; then Kuhio will turn over his
proxy to BreckOns to act for him. The
other scheme is to elect Breckons by
the unanimous act of the delegation.
The delegation is going uninstructed
this year and there will be a desperate
eight made for the right to vote when
the convention is reached. Hawaii 3
friends have promised to do their bit
for the recognition of the delegates
from the Territory, and if promises
mean anything there may be a change
made in the rules which will allow Of
the delegation to vote.

are seeking avenues for its Investment.
1t is not out of place to state that it will be the
duty of the press. at some future date, to perform
an autopsy on many corporations into which Ha-
waian coin is now being poured.
Looking back over the last five years, the fail
ures among local enterprises may be counted on
the ten fingers, and the total sums lost do not
loot up over a million and quarter dollars at
most There are probably fifty companies that
lave been capitalized with Hawaiian coin on the
mainland and in foreign countries, during the same
period, from which not one dollar of rro6t has

million dollars.

the greatest social virtue is truth"
Chief Justice johnson pointed to
what the American administration in
the Philippines had done toward esta'
blishing public schools.
"When ! came to the islands fifteen
years ago." he said, "there were 1000
school teachers on the same boat on
their way to establish public schools
through the provinces. When the Uni
ted States took the islands there was
not a single public school, What these
American teachers have accomplished
can be seen by the fact that now you
can make our way through all parts Of
the Philippines and find young men and
women everywhere who can speak
English. There are 100000 persons
who have taken these public school
courses. There are now over 5000 ma
tive teachers in the schools.

Ordinances In Hd,Udiian

WlTH city treasury so bare that obvious
w necessities cannot be had it poor
time for Mayor Lane to advance the suggestion
that the city incur some transatng expenses for
the purpose Of having the city ordinances publish
ed in the Hawaiian language The Territory has
been striving to get away from the cumbersome
and useless dual language system, with a very
large measure of success, and for the city to take
it up nOw, at this late date would be to turn back
the clock in Hawaii
1t is to be doubted if there are FIVE hundred
Hawaiian voters on this island who cannot read
English, and it is practical certainty that not one
out of hundred OF these would ever bother to
read the text of the city ordinances if they were
supplied in the vernacular. The garnet of the
Capitol is filed with Hawaiian versions of house
and senate journals and with the acts OF the legis-
ature in the native tongue, standing evidence to the
fact that ninetynine cents out OF every dollar spent
in translating the legislative records into Hawaiian
and publishing them in that language is sheer
waste. The same proportion of the taxpayers
money would go for nothing in the case of a Ha-
waiian edition of the ordinances.
There might be some justification for issuing
the acts and ordinances in Japanese, which is a
live language used by majority OF the people of
the island and of the Territory, but the cxpcndi-
ture would be unwise, just the same.
Mayor Lane is supposed to be progressive. If
he wants to maintain his reputation for being such
he had best drop the advocacy Of as raw a graft
as Hawaii has to put up with
