ORIGIN OF THE HAWAIIAN FLAG

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir: An article appeared the other
day in one of the papers under the
above caption which brought to my
mind a conversation I ,oN erheard about
the Middle sixties bearing on this sub
ject. During one school vacation |
was assisting my uncle, the late Hon
Godfrey Rhodes, running errands, etc.
He. conducted a wholesale wine bust
ness on Kaahumanu street, nearly OPP
posite Schaefer & Co.'S present loca'
ton. At that time Gen. McCook was
the American minister at Honolulu,
and on one Of his visits 10 my uncle
the latter, in speaking of the early his.
tory of this group. told him that the
original flag was stamped on tapa
cloth first and from this the flag was
made on an English man-ofWar. Ka-
mehameha |, John Adams and the cap.
tain of the English vessel were sup
posed to be the prime movers in bring
ing it into existence. The tapa flag
was returned to the king, and it is
generally supposed was buried with
him in one of the many caves on the
cliffs of Kealakekua bay. Respect
fully, MALCOLM BROWN.

A Warning Against Germanism

There's nothing linguistic and nothing alarmlst
in the conservative editorials Of the Saturday Even
ing Post
Therefore, when you pick up recent issue ana
read two editorials warning the country against
German spies and Teuton agents, you may know
that the warning is deliberate, not exaggerated,
fully justified by facts.
So far as Hawaii is concerned the Grasshof diary
disclosures are all the facts this territory needs as
warning. What is interesting in the conservative
Post editorials is that they hint at shutting up a
lot of German propagandists and plotters now
roaming free-which is precisely the course that
commends itself plain Commonsense to large
, number of Americans, here and elsewhere
The Post says:
From this time on there can be only three classes
in the United States-Americans, proc Germans and
yellow dogs Many people would lump the two
last. but wrongly because in the third group there
are many, who once awakened to a class conscious
ness of their yellow-dogginess, may DE saved. We
refer of course to the who are seeking party
and partisan advantage in this crisis; to the red
tapers and ncompetents who obstructing and
muddling everything they touch; to the grand
ISLANDERS and Iimelighters who nothing but an
opportunity for personal advertisement and aggran
dizement in the national peril and to the profteers,
TO whom all dollars look alike even those that are
Z Dlo0dstalned.
"TEe yeIlo,c dogs arc in the minority. They must
be concerted sent to the pound. The pro Germans
should 6e there notc."
And in adjacent editorial the Post says:
"The menace from enemies at home is steadily
increasing; the scope of their activities is steadily
broadening. When you find dsloyal neigh
Dor whom you can't send to JAIL send him to Coven-
! try, Shun him if he had smallpox Keep out
of his house and keep him out of yours. Let him
be socially interned out off from all speech and traf
&c with decent men and women"
The Post might have added that rigid enforce
ment of the trading with theenemy act will send
lot Of yellow dogs and lot of pro Germans, on
ztheir way to the pound. ..-..
1t took bitter lessons before England learned how
70 handle the skulkng agents of the kaiser. A good

preached prosecution and internment were thought

That members of the congressional party looked
upon the selection of Justice James L. Coke as
happy compromise in the governorship appointment
was published by the Star Bulletin while the Wash
ington delegation was here few weeks ago. Sen
ator King of Ctah is understood to be one of the
men who particularly favored Judge Coke, and the
prediction that his would be presented to the
president as solution of the appointment question
is apparently made good. Sdch choice would give
satisfaction to the Democratic faction which has
worked with ceaseless hostility against the gov,
ernor ever since he went into Office and to the men
who have fought him on personal grounds. Judge
Coke has declined to be considered in any way as
candidate feeling that member of the supreme
bench should be free from political activity of any
sort

With her letter Miss kendig sends
the following poem:
Christmas comes to each OF us,
Far and near
To some it brings fond words of Joy,
To some a tear.
Yes, Christmas comes to each of US,
1t matters not
How humble is our task on earth,
We're not forgot.
Christmas comes in glory still,
Our Savior knew
His sacrifice brought peace on earth
To me and you.
Our help to carry out his plan
Of. peace on earth
Is small enough gift to he
Who gave us birth.
So happy be this Christmas day;
A single tear
Would blight the joys that one could
thrill
Throughout the year.
Re glad that vou are one of those
Who've lived to see
The age when God DEGREES for man
Democracy!
