An Excellent Start

Although Prof. Vaughan Mac
Caughey has not yet formally taken
charge of the department of public
instruction as its new superintendent,
he has evidently been working hard
to get in touch with the situation and
il is evident that he proposes to
make some sweeping and much need
ed changes.
Professor MacCaughey has already
given indications that he intends to
be on friendly terms with the teach
ers and that he will make it his bust
ness to work for the best interests of
both teachers and pupils, which
means for the best interests of Ha-
wall.
The new superintendent has declar-
ed himself as opposed to the con
tract system of engaging teachers.
This has been a sore spot in the de-
partment since it was i~naugurated,
and its abolition will be hailed with
joy by the teachers and by others
who see in the contract system poten-
tialities of Observation-Disclosures.

The Riaht OF Criticism

So much irritation is being display
ed by the local Japanese press on ac-
count of proposed legislation that
would effect the Oriental population
of the Islands, and because of news
paper comment on such legislation
and on events in the Orient. that it
seems well to remind our Japanese
friends that criticism does not neces-
sarily indicate hostility.
+ + & T. + =
Americans are used 10 criticism,
and though individuals may resent it
when they are the targets, they do
not often complain that it is calculat-
ed to jar the comfy of nations or
complicate international relations.
There is, however. a tendency on
he part of our Japanese friends to
feel that criticism directed at them
or their institutions is racial dis
c~rimination;" that they are criticised
because they are Japanese. That is
a notion they would do well, for the
sake of their own happiness, to get
rid of.

There is no tendency on the part
OF either press or public in Hawaii to

people of other countries. There
never will be any such tendency if the
Japanese refrain from looking upon
themselves as a special people, en-
titled to special consideration and ex-
empt from the same criticism to
which everybody else is subjected.
So long as they reside in Hawaii,
Hawaii is, or should be their home,
the United States their country, the

take their part in the life of the COM

idents of Hawaii to whom the inter-
ests of Hawaii come first, and they
will have no occasion to feel that

ness.
The relations existing among the
various nationalities in Hawaii have
always been particularly friendly.
They will remain SO if everybody
keeps in his mind the fact that we
are all residents OF the same country,
that our interests should all be iden-
teal and that it is only full and free
discussion that points the way to
right conclusion.-Advertiser.

Cheap Politics

Refusal of the senate yesterday TO
confirm Alexander Hume Ford as Z
member of the promotion committee
was about as cheap 4 piece of petty
politics as that body has yet been
guilty of.
1t requires no great pe~rspicacity 10
fix responsibility for the action. Ford
has in the past antdgcn,zed CO. tain
influential Republican p >liticians and
they have been laying for him. Now
they think they have got hin.
But they can't get Alex lnder Hume
Ford, for the simple reason that he is
a bigger man than they are. He is a
bigger man because he is a man with
IN idea-one idea, if you please, but
yet an idea, and a big one. He is a
bigger man because he is sincere.
Nobody has ever questioned that,
which is more than can be said for
some who are unable to conceive Of
any man working without hope Of
personal reward or prefermen..
1t is just as we'll for Mr.. Ford that
he be not a member of the promotion
committee. He can do better work
when he is not hampered by the red
tape of an organization. But il shows
small appreciation of the disinterest-
ed work done by Mr., Ford, small cap
acity to grasp a big idea, to refuse him
the slight official recognition connect.
ed with his being a member of the
promotion committee. Ford is bigger
than the senators who voted against
him, because he is sincere, because he
has no axe to grind and because he
does not bow down and worship a
political calf.-Advertiser.

doomed are the Anoka, China, Wa
