UP TO HAWAII
S rrtai v Fisher's two-minute t;ilk vestmlav

willt which w rlosnl his puldir hearings in Ha
waii, puts it fairly up to tht Mfple of Hawaii
to work out their own salvation. His attitude
toward Hawaii, and that of the national admin
istration, is summarized in this talk. In those
two minutes he gave so much sound and friendly
udviee, in such compact fonn, that it should he
known to everv citizen of the territory. Said
Mr. Fisher:
I am here, primarily, as the representative of the
president of the United States, coming, it is true, at
the reqnest of both parties to this controversy and
my, functicm is one of a purely advisory nature. All

not to say in advance what you intend to say to the
piesident of the United States, I should have no hes
itation in saying it now. However, I shall conform
to the rule.
There is only one other thing I can say that is,
1 hope the people. of this territory will have cleared

31 r. Fisher has declared the steady interest
of the 'liatioual administration in Hawaii, the
attention that he and his department will pay to
the problems of this territifrv. and at, the same
time he has made it quite clear that lie relies on

As is well known, the recent election was for
governor, congressmen and state officers, and
the Progressives and Kepublican regulars com
bined, overcame a heavv Democratic majority
and .ejected their candidate, William T. Haines,
governor.
Progress ivism now seems to Ik? the real key
note of the Maine situation. A glance at the
Maine papers shows how many of the "regular"
members and organizations are deserting the
Republican banner to liecome openly progress

There is this to be considered still: that the

brought-, about.. 2: lietter understanding betwtiu
the delegate and the governor has been evident
for; sonic days to those who have attended the
public hearings. It was made quite plain yes:
terday by Mr. Ashford, Kuhio's attorney, that
much of the acerbity and bitterness of the dele
gate, and his friends have leen swept away as
the hearings and the island tours progressed.
nounceil that Mr. Ashford's sentiments were his
own, and it is therefore fair to assume that Mr.
Ash ford's statement as the last hearing ended
yesterday is a statement of Kuhio's attitude. It
breathed a spirit of mutual esteem and closer
relationship that augurs much for future politi
cal harmony in Hawaii. Here are two signifi
cant paragraphs:.
I am free-to say that the closer and more intimate
association which these nearly four weeks have
brought about I am quite free to say, or cleared out
of our minds, or at least the minds of some of us,
many of. the cobwebs the mistakes that previously
existed there. I am sure I do not know to what ex
tent the same fact may be true with reference to the
other 6ide of the controversy, but with reference to
us we are proud and perfectly willing to admit that
many things that seemed to us at the time of making
Kpecifications to be serious, have in a large measure
lost their seriousness as a result of the explana
tions that have been given by Governor Frear or oth
ers, and of the examinations and observations that
we have been able to give to the circumstances them
selves as we have proceeded upon our journey, espe
cially around the group of islands.
Even if this incident should be absolutely closed
today and not another word was written concerning
It, I think there has been enough information come
out from the hidden and secret places to so far en
lighten our community as to matters heretofore uu.
known among us, that the result in this community
alone will be a vastly better understandinsr as to
, hat have ltwn our conditions, what is the cause of
' J i
. i h i m a i in rii a i i r-iti -u itii
"What shall be;the relation of capital to labor or
. to the small planter; . what shall be the general Idea
in, regard to homesteading; what shall be the extent
of, discretion, if any, given to the executive; what
shall be. done in regard to the regulation of trans
portation rates and public utilities generally; what
should be done generally In the way of uplift and
progress of this territory along the lines of what we
call progressivism those are the questions that have
become lasger than .the question of who should oc
cupy the governor's- chair." Attorney C. W. Ashford.
That's the broad view to take of it, Mr. Ash
ford, and the way to accomplish the results is to
silence the false friends of any man, governor or
delegate or anyone elfce, who attempts to stir up
again embers of the past.
The Star-Bulletin will publish from time
to time during tlie next few days extracts from
the stenographic reports which this paper has
taken of the testimony at the Fisher hearings.
The testimony bore so directly on Hawaii's
problems and -presented so many views of these
problems from men qualified by experience and
ability to speak, that every word of it is inter
esting. Some of the statements have been too
long to present fully but from first to last the
Stak-Bclletin has covered the hearings fully
and given the public the impartial and un
biased story of the investigation through the
medium of stenographic reports.

the Progressive, Oscar Straus, is probably best

by the Constructing Quartermaster at
Castner; Schofield Barracks, died on
Tuesday, October 1st, at the Post hos
pital at Leilehua, of injuries received
at Wa!hiawa on Saturday last, when
he accidentally fell off a wagon load
ed with household goods, one wheel
passing over his right leg and, groin.
The same evening, suffering intense
pain, he was taken to the Post hos
pital at Leilehua, where his condition
rapidly becoming worse during the
Dight, he was operated upon early
Sunday for internal injuries sustain
ed. Major de Witt performing the op
eration. Rallying after the operation,
which had caused great loss of blood,
he was somewhat better on Monday.
Early ou Tuesday his condition be
came rapidly worse, and he died at
2:25 the same afternoon.
Chaplain Major Pruden kindly took
over the remains, and a beauui'iil ser
vice was held at the ;ost : h.ikl on and is well worth seeing.
Wednesday forenoon at L1.V The
casket, covered with the Stars? tnd
Stripes and flowers, was carried in'
to the church by fellow Masoas. to
the strains of "Nearer, My Gcd. to
Thee," played by the 2d Infantry
band, stationed outside the church.
The usual burial service was read in
a very impressive manner by th
chaplain, a hymn sung, and again the
casket was carried out and placed on
a caisson drawn by six black horses,
and then. led by the band p!nying a
funeral dirge, the procession wended
itssway to the depot, from where the
remains were shipped to Honolulu for
cremation. ?

GEO. F. SMITHIES "Efficiency" Is
my motto. That ought to bring In
votes. The next thing for me, to do
is to get down to business and write
out my political speeches.
F. J. TESTA 1 can only blame the
Hawaiians ; for not sticking together.
Why didn't the Republican and Dem
ocratic Hawaiians nominate Hawai
ians for legislative and county offices.
J. C ANDERSON I sincerely hope
that James BIcknell will give me a
chance to run for county auditor two
years hence., I think he has earned
enough to retire, from the activities ot
life. . - ' . -
J. C. COHEN I may join, the Hui

good a chance as the other candi
dates on the Republican ticket, -. I am

my man. r ; . -

can order John H.; Wise or James H.

CHARLES HUSTACE, JR. It
doesn't make any difference to - me
how many sign a petition asking me
to withdraw, If there is such a . thing
in circulation. I am going to run for
the mayoralty all the same.
D. L. CONKLING I believe Secre
tary Fisher of the Interior is the bestf
official investigator that ever visited
these Islands. He is outspoken. I
believe that his investigation of the
administrative affairs of the Territory
will be the means of bettering the
conditions here generally.
CHAS. K, NOTLEY I think Secre
tary Fisher of the Interior, who has
just concluded his Investigation of the
Kuhio-Frear controversy, will make a
satisfactory report of his work to
President ' .Taft after, his return to
Washington. 1 Secretary Fisher is cer
tainly a wonderful man. '
FINE PICTURES REAL
FEATURE AT EMPIRE
It is surely a matter of taste as to
which is the really "big" feature of
the Empire theater's program of ex
cellent pictures, for a more varied,
and better selection, in equal num
bers, has never been seen on a pic
ture program in this city. The com
edy, "Revolution in a Bachelors'
Club," is one" of the most delightful
comedies it is possible to imagine,
while the opposite to this, "The New
Superintendent," contains more inter
est and "heart throbs" to the minute
than has been seen in any moving
picture here in many a day, and the
showing on the screen (taken from
the actual occurrence) of the burning
of twenty-two mammoth oil wells is,
in itself, well worth the time spent
It is, perhaps, an effort on the part
of the management to increase inter-
i est in their picture house, that a pro
gram of all feature pictures is shown.
The fact remains that the present
program is one of the best, if not the
best, that has' ever been seen here.
The "Confession of Faith" may be
summed up in the query; "What's the
constitution between bull mooses?"
Roosevelt has been getting some
great receptions; through Oklahoma,
where he Is now touring. .
