Governor Frcar returns todny to nncw his olllcial iclatlons with fel lowiultlzcns whose Mist cillery Is: "What have ou done, and why?" The Governor may, on the other linnd, give tho Yankee answer, "W,hnt have jou done to mo, and why?'' In other words, events transnlrlugl Hluco the Governor left this city for I Washington hnvo Indicated that tho : Governor and tho peoplo nio very.Nuuanu Valley $25.00 much out of touch. And It should not be. Tho first instance was tho work- lug out of tlio Mnhuka-slto cx-j chango. Tho second was the coast-1 wise shipping law mix-up. Tho third was the'dlscovery by tho peoplo of these Islands that a hill had been ln 'tioduccd and argued before cominit leo to amend tho Organic law of tho Territory, and this before they even Vnavr the text of tho measure, or had received an Intimation of what It might be. Governor Frcnr may hold tho opln lot) that the people of this city are not clear-minded, nor far-sighted, nnd really don't know what is good for themselves, Ho may feel that they made, a great mistake In tho lo cation of tho Federal building. He m.iy lie posltivo that tho business men made n monkey of him and ln juiod themselves by turning tnll and Hwitthliig their course on tho coast wise shipping bin. Ho limy be satis fied that lu hud talked of the amend ment of the Organic Act for many months uml such a small detail ns tlio text of tho hill by which this should be brought uhout should not Interest tho people oi worry them. If this bo tho case. It merely shows that tho Governor's error Is contain ed in his falluio to appreciate that American government Is government lly nnd For tho peoplo as well as Of the peoplo.

If that bo the proper term, must lie con sidered on eor occasion. It the) ait not, they will command nUentlou In a viry short time. Having been Inns on tho bench, the Oinernnr's habits of (nought have been to draw his mncluslons from books without other assistance than tho Hudcjit lamp to furnish the light. The people had to accept the conclusion ns final. As thief executive the situation Is different. While the Governor does not have to bo told this, ninny of our citizens are conduced that old hnblts l.nve a strong hold, and create n Bt.it' of mind. Tho Governor Is npptoachlng n pe- rlod when he will ba In Immediate touch with the representatives of the people. He has the moral support of the community and will retain It ns long ns he keeps In touch. Ilu has lost ground by the Maliukn deal and has not gained by the methods fol lowed In handling the Orgaiilc Act amendments. This lost prcstlgo can bo rcgnlned I' tho Goiornor will accept the fact that his programs should first be placed tentatively before tho people, and the detail filled in with regard for public sentiment developed. Tho method of la lug out a plan In secret and then springing It on tho public In tho hopo that tho support ers of the administration yvIII stand by because an end might Justify tho means, will wind up in falluio. It Is to be hoped that tho tuttiro will not hnvo further Instances of this character. Let us remember that American government is ropresentatlvo govern ment. Tho peoplo govern.

THB CRIMINAL AGITATION It Is very apparent that the dross- cd-iip thugs of the Japanese colony hnvo tnken their cue of agitation fiom the criminal section of tho Amerlcnn press In this city. They a ho look upon that section as n me dium o'f free advertising and real filendshlp, though apparently In op position. That, however, Is not the point at Issue. Certain residents of this city, en Jcylng tho liberty mid privileges of tho easy-going American government. hnvo abused that privilege to the ex tent of arousing their ignorant fellow-citizens mid urging them In ph)slcnl attack for revenging fancied wrongs. This cannot be nnd must not bo tolerated by the law-abiding citizens of this city nnd Territory. In putting an cud to tho cnmpnlgn o! violence, tho citizens should have tlio active aid and support of every respectable resident of tho city, re gardless of race or nationality. Hut whether this aid nnd coopera tion from the residents Is forthcom ing or not It may be accepted ns a certainty that tho men who aro preaching anarchy nnd Indulging In threats will have to null or so to Jail. That Is tho long and short' of It. Tho sooner the pollco nuthorltlcs take cognizance of tho dangerous clo nic nt, now very much In evidence, tlio better. American citizens will not tolerate tho conditions which tho dresscd-up thugs nro trying their utmost to crc ute. Will tho departments, whoso duty It is to guard tho community ngalnst criminal classes, wait until blood is shed hofoio tbay tako steps to sup press tho men and the mediums through which appeals ore made to tho passions of Ignorant residents?

At that tlmu I was Congressmau-nt-lnrgc from Washington." Hawaii tho Western Outpost. "I have nhvajs felt that the Federal government should look upon Huwnll as tho western outpost of thu United States. I have advocated the abandon ment of the Philippine as being out side of our sphere nnd likely to involvo us In trouble with thu Orient. I be- llevo that tho money that would thus bo saved should bo expended In mak ing Hawaii into a military and naval stronghold; widely would ho to America what GtbrAltur Is to llrltaln. "I expressed myself strongly on this matter when I wns u candidate for Governor of tho Stnte of Illinois, I had occasion to take Issue with my pnrty In regard to tho navy. I believe that we should maintain us largo a navy its necessary and as small n standing army as practicable. ''I huve'urged tho fortification of Ha waii. Should we got. into any dlnlcul- tlni In the Orient, Hawaii would be the 1 first placo to bu seized by the Orient als, Tno reason why this would' bu tho case aro clear to my mind, Tho first reason Is that It would pro vent IL-iwnll being used as n base for the American Army and Navy in its operations, Tho other would bo that such n selzuro would force troops to be sent hero to defend these Islands, thus dividing tho fleets, which would render tho cupturo of the Philippines an eaBy matter. This would nlso lay tho Pacific Coast open to hostile at tack. Urges Powerful Defenses. llnwall therefore should bo so pro tected and fortified by a land force which would prevent nny hostile guns and ships passing thoso forts without being destroyed. "Tho sugar output of Hawaii is a matter that should bo given tho grav est consideration. Hates of transpor tation are a matter of the most vital Importance, "This sugar Bhould find other mar kets than tho Pacific Coast, It should be sent East nail given a general mar ket against tlio Cuban product. "There are two things which would, I bcllove, accomplish this. "An Income tax could bo levied by tho government upon (hose of largo means. A portion of this could bo tak en to build lines of steamers, plying between the mainland and the Islands, thus giving cheap transportntlon from I ho Islands to the mainland. Municipal 8teamers. "Then Congress should glvo Hawaii tho authority to build municipal steam boat and railway llncB through tho Is lauds for Inter-Island commerce, the Hawaiian people Issuing bonds to ralso money for tho purpose. "These two things would, to my mind, result In giving to Hawaii the supremacy to which It Is entitled.

At the meeting yesterday afternoon Deputy County Attorney .Mllvcrlou tried tu havo tho matter of the Clcrk'it appointments brought up tumor iinfln IxIiimI business, but tho Mnyor In formed him that bo had not reached 0 decision ns yet. It now appears that tho Mayor was acting under Section 115 of tho Municipal Act, which nro vldes that "When nny officer, hoard or department shall requite nditlllonai deputies, clerks or employees, nppllcn tlon shall bo made to tho Mayor thcr for, and upon such application tho Mayor shall make investigation nS: t) the necessity for such additional us slstnucc; and If he find the same nee cssnry ho may recommend to the Sup ervlsom to authorize the appointment of such nddltlonul deputies, clerks or employees; nnd thereupon the Super lsors, by nn affirmative vote of not loss than five members, tuny authorize Mich officer, hoard or department to make such nppolntmnnt. and provide lor tho compensation of such ap pointees." It now appears that tho Clerk ha written n letter to the Major, under date of January 13, but this letter wa-t received after the resolution In regard to tlio appointments had been panne,. and can consequently havo no benrlng thereon. It appears conequently that under tho section quoted nbovo lh Mnyor has full power to decide wheth er Kulniiokalanl shall havo any assist anco beyond his deputy, or to decide just how much additional help ho re quires, That tho Mnyor quite evidently up predates this point U shown by a let tor which he sent ti) the City nnd nntv Clerk today, the text of which is as follows: "Thu Maor has under consideration your request for additional clerks nnd employee. In order that ho may no thoroughly Informed ns to the need lor these additional clerks nod em ployees will you kindly furnish him in c.etnll tho services required and per rormed by each or the employees you mention, and such information regard; lug the work of your office ob will en 1 net properly In tho mat ter."
