COXORATULATIOXS, OOVERXOR
In Charles J. McCarthy, Hawaii has had a
cajiablc, fair, level headed governor. ' In Wal
lace R. Farringtoii she will have a worthy
BiiccesNor to him. Many people in many parts
of the Territory, speaking of Governor McCar
thy have said, "He has been our best governor."
And we believe that Governor Farrington will
have as many and as staunch supporters when
his time of service is up.
Governor Farrington is a progressive man.
It lias often been Haid that he is not a "party
man." Perhaps not! The best of parties
make mistakes at times. And it is not a sign
of a big man to be absolutely unable to see mis
takes in one's own party. Nor is it the sign
of a sincere man to refrain entirely from point
ing out those mistakes to a party when they
are made.
The Republican Central Committee did not
support Mr. Farrington in his campaign, if it
may be called that, for the governorship. But
the leaders of the Committee are now willing
to back him, to kokua in every way. Governor
Farrington is still on the mainland aud has not
had an opportunity to answer the Committee,
but we know that he will work with them for
the best interests of Hawaii.
Whatever our party, whatever our previous
preference for the governorship, we are now
squarely behind our new governor. We be
lieve that under his guidance the Territory of
Hawaii is going to have an efficient, business
administration.
EUEROEXCY TARIFF BILL
XOW EFFECTIVE
Friday is a lucky day for Hawaii. On Fri
day, May 27th, President Harding signed the
Enu rgency Tariff bill which goes into effect at
ouct? and continues for six months. It is ex
pected that by the end of this time a perman
ent tariff bill can be brought before Congress
for action.
The part of the Emergency Tariff that ben
efits Hawaii is section 2;?, relating to sugars,
etc. This section reads, "Sugars, tank
bottoms,' syrups of cane juice, melada, concen
trated melada, concrete ami concentrated mo
lasses testing by the polariscope not above 75
degrees, one and sixteen one-hundredths of one
cent per pound, and for every additional degree
shown by the polariscopic test, four one-hundredths
of one cent per pound additional, and
fractious of a degree in proportion: molasses
testing not above 4'J degrees, 24 centum ad
valorem ; testing above 40 degrees and not
above r(! degrees, 3y2 cents per gallon ; testing
above SO degrees, 7 cents per gallon ; sugar
drninings and sugar sweepings shall be subject
to duty as molasses or sugar, as the case may
be according to the polariscopic test.
KEEP YOUR EYEU OPEN
We want to warn Kauai people not to grow
into the belief that because we are not at war
dangerous propaganda has ceased. For some
time several correspondents in Washington
have been sending out a lot of stuff destined to
poison the public mind, just as they did before
we we went to war. They're trying iu a veiled
way to create sympathy for Germany, believing
American sentiment can be made to say; "They
are asking too much of Germany." They are
trying to work up a feeliug, too, against Eng
land by having the papers declare: "Ireland is
not getting a square deal." Most editors are
throwing this stuff in the waste basket, but
there is danger of some of them overlooking it.
So be on your guard, and take everything you
read along this line with n grain of salt. The
correspondents are paid to work up sympathy
for a foreign nation. Take no stock in it.
Remember that you're an American, and a good
American keeps his hands off of the affairs of
another nation.
The Convention of the 'League of Women
Voters, that has been in session in Cleveland,
Ohio, was held for the purpose of formulating
a programme to compel the legislatures of the
several states to recognize the rights of women
and their babes. They demand a restriction
of profiteering and an investigation of the con
ditions under which women work, especially in
the factories. The women are out for fair
play and the justice that should be accorded
them under the intent of the law which gave
them the right of suffrage.

Chain-Like in Uniformity
Are Miller Tires and Men
SEVEJNTY per cent of all the American tires are made in
A&ron, Ohio. Here motorists know more than the average
about tire materials and methods.
Here the Miller regiment of .champion tire builders first became famous.
Ana bere Miller tires outsell at retail every
other make.
Mark why this weight of favor is for
Miller. Tires among those qualified to judge.
First because of Miller uniform mileage.
Because these tires 99 in 100 outrun
standard guarantees.

Tires 99 Per Cent Excellent
So Miller Tires are known as Uniform
Tires. Miller achieved uniform mileage by
training crack squads to build uniformly.
These men average 96 per cent efficient.
The tires they build are 99 per cent excellent
That means that less than one per cent
ever need adjustment.
Miller Uniform Tires are Ctared-to-tho-Road.
Look at their sharp rubber cogs that pre
vent the wheels from slipping when you
start.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Editor, Garden Island.
Dear Sir:
In the issue of the Garden Island
of May 31 there appear two Items re
garding my connection with the De
partment of Public Instruction. One
states that I asked to be transferred
to another Islend for the next school
year, the other that the Department of
Public Instruction announces that I
shall be transferred to a position in
the Territorial Nofmal School.
TheBe items are both misleading,
and in order to keep history straight
I desire to state through the Garden
Island that I did not ask to be trans
ferred to another island and that I
have not yet accepted any position for
the next school year.
Thanking you for this space, I re
main. Very truly yours,
Wm. McCluskey,
Principal, Kauai High School.
