BaldWin's Hunch

Senator Baldwin has the game of
the ring leaders doped out to his own
satisfaction. He says:
"Kuhio wants another term as dele
gate. think his explanation of wish
ing to round out a full 20 years as
Hawaii's representative in congress is
probably correct. A short while back
he came out with endorsement of Nc
Carthy for reappointment as governor
and the Honolulu papers commended
him for it. But after this next term he
will be open for the governorship and
lie framing things to be recommended
for this by the territorial committee.
Single sees the delegateship open for
himself. Wise expects to be secre-
tary of the territory at the same time
through the central committees en-
dorsement; while Andrews and Brown
plan, through control Of the commit
tee, to dictate the judicial appoint
ments to be made"
Baldwin says he may have put him
self out of politics for all time by his
actions. If so, he says, he doesn't
care. He intimates rather strongly
hat Kuhio is in for rough shedding in
his campaign this fall. He points out
that if it had not been for the Homo
lulu business element that rallied to
his rescue McCandless would have
defeated him the last time he ran.

work would have fallen upon him.

A TINT She'll Exploded
1t was following this deadlock that
the delegations began turning in
their states for members of the cen
trail committee, that the Maui delega-
ton withdrew for a ucu and every
man declined to accept a place on the
body. San Kalama, George Cooke, and
one or two others at first thought that
Maui must not bolt the convention
and must go through the formalities,
but neither Sam nor Cooke would for
a minute consider taking the job them
selves, and it ended by Kalama's an
nouncing on the floor of the conven-
ton that Maui would submit no names
for the committee. Maui's share on
the central committee is 6 out of the
80 members.
The announcement is said to have
been a bomb-shell in the convention.
1t evidently Jared the Oahu ringsters
into a daze and that was the condi-
ton they were still in when the Maui
delegates left to catch the boat for
home.

The Pilgrim. and eoIshsvism

The tercentenary Of the landing Of
the Pilgrims IL an occasion when
tributes to their virtues may have q
tendency to become fulsome, yet 1t is
significant that the record they made
bears we'll the scrutiny Of the years
and the anniversaries.
While generally conceding their
aptitude for governing themselves re-
ligiously and civilly there have been
critics who found fault with lack Of
foresight in landing where they did
and Encouragement Of their COM
munity affairs for the first few years.
After considerable research Professor
Baker Of Harvard has arrived at the
conclusion that faults In the latter
were due to the failure of the COM
munistic scheme under which they
began. whereby they were to work
for seven years leaving the product
in common to be divided later. The
Pilgrims were human and 80 among
them were found those who tried to
avoid their share Of the work, others
who were jealous and others misin-
formed. in consequence of which COM
munism didn't prove successful. The
Pilgrim Fathers were an excellent
people but not good enough to ensure
a success of communism. Possibly by
the time the world is good enough for
, communism there won't be any need
of it.
He does find. however, many evil
dences of Christian charity among
them; that when Weston sent over q
shipload Of "rapscallions" instead Of
the food he promised they met them
kindly and treated them well and
knew how TO combine kiadness with
frmness. He refers to the contract
signed in the cabin as the amazingly
simple document which became the
foundation Of government by, of and
for the people" with the remark:
that is leadership, is it not?"
. Under this covenant they did pledge
themselves to ''enact. constitute, and
frame such just & equal lawes. ordi-
iiances, acts. constitutions. & Offices,
from time to time. as shall be thought
most meete & convenient for We gen.
eral good of we Colonie, unto which
we promise all due submission and
obedience"
Here is social compact which
recognizes no factions and signifies
.acquiescence in the will of the ma :
iority subject TO stipulated conditions.
There has been evolved from this a
government based on a constitution
