(San li inclsco Examiner"
There lenlly Isn't time for tho re
formers to record the wouderful
things that luo been done by the
outgoing reform pTilltq admlulstrn
tlon.
Apparent!) the pollco are center
ing their attention on the formation
of a hollow squat e (a prevent tho bur
gl.us robbing tho station of Its valu
ables. The men sitting up nights to pre
vent Honolulu from enjoying a boom
are blocking tho wheels of piog

si native. That Is not tho correct
turn.
Tho Honolulu man afraid of n
boom must be the Individual encouu
toted by n naval officer who stated
to a San l'rancltcan that ho had been
in tho "Pnrudlso of the Pacific, the
homo of the dead."
This Is tho time when the main
landers should bo kept fully Inform
ed on the development of Hawaii's In
dustries. Tho action of their Repre
sentatives in Congress on tho tariff
will fctnud for many jears to come.
The habit of secrecy has apparent-
ly become so strong in our Territorial
Government building that It Is not
surprising fur tho people to ask what
clso has been done In Washington.
The Organic-Act changes nro pre
sumably moving merrily forward
with nothing to Btay the course of
their progress till tho people of Ha
waii know something more about It
but tho protest of the Democrats.
It Is so much easier to block a meas
ure thau to put It through that this
protest will probably have the desired
effect for the tlmo being.
Mcnuvvhllo what other programs
nre being framed up for tho edifica
tion und Improvement of our citi
zens? Is ever thing finished? Are nil
the plans open to tho public, or may
wo expect that other matters
"good for Hawaii." but on which the
people have not been consulted, will
bo brought out In the near future?
Tho Mullet I n ically doesn't
know. The people really don't know.
Tho one fact Is: that tho polity .of
secrecy Is a failure, always nas bean,
and nlwajs will be. The .ooner It It
abandoned permanently the better for
all concerned,
WHAT WILL FERN DO?
policy of doing his utmost to promote
lumnony and efficient administra

with' tho Hoard of Supervisors by
which the community will bo saved

for a determination of the lights und

What the plans of the Supervisors
may be me u u i I o 1 1 n noes noi
know.
Tho ptoplc nro more Interested In
efficiency of the city stuff to be cre
ated and appointed than they nro In
the piublems of patronage.
Where men luivo douo good work
in their positions under tho County
there Is' no good reason for n change
to be mnila either bj the Major or
tho Supervisors.
If tho Major and tho Supervisors
declilo to "get along" together thoy
will Individually and nevcrally gain
inoro for their respective parties.
Each may hnvc to jleld a little, but
better jleld for progressive peace
than remain stiff-necked In n con
test that Is a pure fight for tho loaves
and fishes of olTlce.
Ill 1904 tho recently deceived Grand
Duko Alexis of ltussln created n Den

Carlo, lie had an extraordinary run
of luck, winning $JO.oi'0 In half an

San rrnnclsco harbor commlsslnneis

to Includo stenmern and sa'Mng vessels

That decision roads something like
this: Thcro may bo error or wrong
in tlie election but If at least thirty
poisons do not havo personal knowl
edge of It thero's nothing to do but
Realize the evil as well as the good.
Amendment of tho Oigunlc Act wis
an opposition weapon that was used
ugalnst Delegate Kuhlo with telling
foito during tho last campaign. That
ought 'to convince tho Governor and
the' dominant party that amending Is
Kctlous business.
MtCnndless' letter must loso all the
forro It might otherwise hnvo when
he snjs that Dolegato Kuhlo does not
it-present the people. That is going
the Secrecy program ono better. In
this Instance tho people did have an
oppoitunlty to choose, und they se
lected Kuhlo.

Mr. Tern Is declared Mayor for the
third ifnd last tlmo so far as tho
Supremo Court Is concerned.
Tho next question Is whether Mr.
Pern will be tho Mnjor of Honolulu
ot the agent of ono or two men who
will in go him to adopt partlznn meth
ods which will retard the business of
tho city nnd causo the first period of
Honolulu's municipal government to
bo a record ot ncrlmonlous talk and
partlzan play for plums
We presume that Mr. Pern's courso
will be outlined In his first remarks
to the City Supervisors or his Inaug
ural address if ho dignifies the occa
sion with a genriral statement ot what
the people may expect from him.
The Major-elect has a somewhat
difficult situation toface. Ho Is now
to the business. His Iloaul of Super
visors is overwhelmingly Republican.
Ihero are the makings ot great discord.
The Major can Insist on Ills right
tc appoint nil tho officers for the po
sitions that may bo created under tho
lilies and regulations of tho Doaul ot
Supervisors. Whereupon tho Super
visors enn create buUi mles and reg
Illations ns they see fit und numo the
officers themselves.
On the other hnnd, tho Mnjor can
follow tho proper spirit of the munic
ipal law and make his appointments
subject to the coiifltnuitlon by the
Supervisor.
Tho Major must set tho paco for
cither fonwirdlug business or cie.itliis

If he does ns he Is told, he will

A Judge In ono of our Western
Stales, vcrj properly refusing to
punish u vv (ilium for taking money
from her husband's pocket, told tiio
husband a fev things that nro worth
remembering by nil mauled men ot
Hint kind.
"It Is joii ' ho snld, "who mo to
blame. Trut jour wlfo honutlj,
alo her what money sho needs, nnd
has n right to expect, and tho Banc-
tltj of join pockclbook will be re
spected. Tl ero nre too many moti
like jou. Iliey think thej nro tho
custodians nf the fainllj propertj,
and, unless their wives beg or weep,
monej Is diiMd out to them In quar
ters and flfi-cent pieces, or not nt
nil. Never mine Into my courtroom
Willi such a silly complaint ngiln."
We regiet to say that this sort of
nn udmonltiiiti will prove useless to
tho mnjorltv of married men. Puffed
up wllh foo Irh vnnltj becnuso they
btlotit, to what, thej call the "stron
ger sex," tin J think there Is somo
mnglc within them which enables
them to make n few dollars every
week In salurj or In their business.
They surround this matter with
lolcmu Becrtrj', Insisting upon know
Ing nil the dttnlls ot tho household
management nnd complaining loftily
a bout them thej icfuso to talk at
their work ur their business with
their wives, nnd feed their vanity by
forcing tho really superior member
of the house hold to go on her knees
for the moiic sho must have to keep
herself and lier children from starv
ing. Ah n mnttir of fact, women nro far
superior to men in mnunglng. tho
complicated business of running n
household. Mijl Instead of going to
cotitt to mft-cuard his pocketbook, so
thut he may spend Its contents plaj
lug poker or being n good fellow, tho
average man would be much better
off if he turned all his money over to
his wife.
A wife If she Is nlso n mother-
may be trtstcd to mvo money, a
thing that tun bo Bald of few men.
In her Is tho mother Instinct,
which bids her to cnio for her chit
drew, nnd irovlde for their future.
Anj vvonan who has been married
to a man for tho space of u J ear has
taken his measure. And if ho Is tho
sort ot n man who parcels out n lit
tle household money now and then,
letting go of It (is If It had been am
putated fiom his heart, she knows
thut It is upon hei. und not upon
him, that the children must depend
for their education and their stmt In
tho world.
Among inen spcndthilfU nie com
mon, among women they nre rare.
Almost nny woman wnge-eainer will
havo savings at the cud of the jcir
It she needs. 'AsV nny ictelvlug tel
lei in n savings bulk who are tho
most froqueut visitors.
Glwi a woman lesponslbillty nnd
the will provo-woithy of it. Give It
to u man, oven though it id tho se
rious rcsponslhllltj of piovidlng for
a wife and children, it nunc often
than not slips fiom him like water
fi om a duck's back
It Is true that many potted, spoil-
cd childless wives will in.iko mono)'
disappear faster than most men can
cam It. Hut lu comparison with tho
mnnj overworked, thoughtful, troub
led mothers, such women nro rldlcu
loti8lj few.
It Is a grave mistake to think that
women know nothing of tho valuo of
money, or that thoy know nothing ot
business. The man who talks over
his business with his wife, not only
does his duty, foi sho Is as much con
cerned In It as ho Is. but he Is likely
to get profitable advice nnd sugges
tions. A human being who can master
tho arts of cooker)-, housekeeping,

bies anil hulf-grown chlldien, the
Inundeilng of washable garments,

supeivlslon of "help" (If sho is

THE following is a letter from E. R.

manufacturers of the Famous

active interest in the Chalmers-Detroit
CO.:

Von Hainm-Young Co., Honolulu, Hawaiian Is.
Genlcmeu:
Our sales department has just called my attention to
your letter of the 20th, also to item appearing in the Pacif
jc Commercial Advertiser of Honolulu under date ofFr
day, November 20th last, in which I was indeed surprised
to sec the statement that the Chalmers-Detroit $1500.00
car was made by the Dcroit Thomas factory. This statement
was evidently made thiough nn error on the 'part of tho
person making it, who probably supposed that the E. R.
Thomas Detroit Co. was still in existence. This, however,
is not the fact, as my active interest in the E. R. Thomas
Detroit Co. ceased nearly a year ago, at which time tho
Company was dissolved and lias not been in existence since.
The Chalmers-Detroit Co. was organized to take over the
business of the E. B. Thomas Detroit Co., and although I
still have a financial interest in the Chalmers-Detroit Co.,
I have no active inteiest therein and have not had since Its
formation, my entire time and attention being given to the
active management of the E. R. Thomas Motor Co., of this
city.
My reason for writing you is that I wish to prevent
any confusion on your part or that of your customers as to
the relationship existing between this Company and the
Chalmers-Detroit Co. As stated above, they jtre entirely sep;
arateand distinctconccrn8,operatingalongcntirclydif
ferent lines.
Trusting this may be sufficient to disabuse your mind
of any doubts remaining in this matter, I am,
Youis very truly,
i E. H. THOMAS MOTOR COMPANY.
