The Opening Fireworks

Don't take the initial skirmlshngs Of the new
mayor and board Of supervisors too seriously!
They are Just out on the track for a two-year run
and after some preliminary dashes, balks and side
steps will probably settle down for the long grind
with less attention to party hourishes.
Not all the partisan moves are on one side, by a
good deal. The outgoing board began the fights by
curtaling the appointve powers Of the incoming
mayor, and the Republican majority the new
board Is understood to be recognizing the standing
committees with view to minimizing the promin-
ence OF the two Democratic brethren
Mayor Ferns message had the right ring, even if
the appointments he sent to the board Immediately
afterward are in most cases unacceptable. If tn"

efficiency first" outlined in his inaugural speech
the next two years should be harmonious.
There must be the spirit Of giveand-take on both
sides Of board, Republican and Democratic. a pO-
Icy Of reprisals against the Democratic minority
is poor policy and it is just poor policy for
the Democratic minority constantly to butt it's head
against the stone wall of the "Sold Five" on the
board.
That the new mayor really expects to displace
efficient office holders with inefficient party pluggers
is doubtful. But he is making the opening moves
in the game for "the organization

LITTLE TALES ABOUT TOWN

LIES little successes are just as
big in Honolulu as any place else.
Superintendent Alex Lyle of the In
ter-Island drydock has habit of per.
forming near-miracles and another
was chalked to his company's credit
last week when he lifted the Japanese
warship Azuma.
The Azuma tips the scales at 1880
tons and is the heaviest ship ever
handled in the local drydock. Incl
dentally she is the first Japanese man
of-war to be treated there and Lyle
says II Japanese commanders are all
like the Azuma's he wants to see
more Of them.
Lyle was not exactly sure that he
could lift the stern of the Azuma to
repair her rudder, but he was not
afraid to try. Others said it couldn I
be done. The ship drew about 26
feet.
To offset. this ammunition and coal

were shifted forward; then the big
boat was backed up to the drydOck
which was lowered to its limit but
still the ship wouldn't clear. Lyle
still had another shot In his locker.
The Azuma's crew Of some 400 men
were assembled aft and then rushed
forward, throwing the bow OF the
vessel into the mud. The stern went
up, the hawser pulled and shortly the
Azuma was sliding into the required
position.
Many other little difficulties were
encountered in handling so big q ship
with apparatus never intended for
such craft but the drydock man met
them all with q smile and conquered
them. The Azuma was tipped to an
angle Of about Is degrees and many
feared she would slide of and down
to the bottom, but not her captain.
He had confidence IN Lyle and was
"tickled to death when. his pride
came out Of the tight pinch o. K.

HINT FROM THE PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE

Public opinion in Hawaii is answering an EN-
phatic "No" to the question, Shall we call off the
Civic Convention in September and the Mid, Pacific
Carnival next February"
President Wilson is on record as avowedly CD
posed to calling off conventions and other gather
ings for community advancement. The Merchants
Association Of New York, finding a widespread be-
lief that patriotism counselled giving up conven
lions wrote to the president and received this reply
from Secretary Tumulty:
"The president asks me to acknowledge the re
ceipt Of your letter of June and to say that he
agrees with you that there is no sufficient reason
for foregoing the holding of conventions and gen
eral commercial meetings by business interests, SC
far as he can see" .... ...~ -s
The president has further Endorsed community
events with a real purpose behind them, since the
war began, through his willingness to speak at such
events He has taken occasion in these speeches tc
outline national policies and aims, clearing up ques
lions in the minds Of the American people.
The character of the Mid.Pacifc Carnival should
be somewhat changed, laying more emphasis OF
patriotic and military features, and with it's pro
ceeds going to the Red Cross OF other benefit fund
These are details which may be worked out later
The Mid Pacific Carnival Company should an
nounce as soon as possible that the Carnival will
not be abandoned for 1918, so that the news will
be spread not only over the territory but over the
mainland. -,

CLENWILD REFINERY
ENDS SEASON

Following the completion of one
Of the longest and most successful
campaigns of recent years. opera
tons at the Glenwild Refinery,
above Berwick, ceased last week,
when the final payments to laborers
and skilled help were made and pre-
parations Immediately begun for the
making of another crop in 1917.
The season was the best but one, in
the history of the business.
The Glenwild Refinery turned
out about ten million pounds of raw
sugar, which was refined by the
owners in the Grammercy Refinery,
where the greater part of the fin
ished product is now held in it's en-
tirety, pending sale.
The total cane ground by this
sugar house was approximately six
ty thousand tons, which included the
cane of Fairview, Glenwild and
Lagonda Plantations, as we'll as the
total crop harvested on Avoca Is
land, near Morgan City. Toward the
end of the campaign the cane show
ed no falling off in sucrose contents
and the average yield was on a par
with average years. The tonnage
per acre on all places was much
above the average, while the total
acreage planted was larger than in
former years.
A large acreage has been provi-
ded for in 1917, and at this time the
seed is in excellent shape.
