A CHANCE FOR JI1E SEARCHLIGHT.
What of this Hilo wharf agreement?
If the facts as alleged by responsible men arc true, the
Territory has come close to giving away public rights with
out even the excuse of misinterpretation of a legislative act.
There have been murmurings of discontent, and muttcrings
on the part of the public which foots the bills that some
thing has been going on under the surface in this matter.
Now it should be forced into the open.
The inability of responsible corporations vitally interested
in the wharf to get from the Department of Public Works the
plans for the wharf at once suggests that some of ihe allega
tions may be true. And the cut-and-dricd form in which the
"tentative agreement" as Campbell calls it, finally comes
forth, is not calculated to allay suspicion.
Campbell's hand is shown plainly enough in the gem of lit
erature sent out as an invitation to the public hearing. In
fact, if it is not his hand that shows all through, it would re
quire an expert in palmistry to detect the difference.
The Hilo Railroad Company naturally wants its own rights
safeguarded and its interests protected and assured. The
duty of the harbor board is to stand between the public and
the private interests and sec that impartial treatment is given
both.
This is too important a matter to be settled at once. The
issues involve not only Hilo, bill the commerce of the Tcrri
tory generally. The facts should be put before the public.
Who drew the agreement?
Who is responsible for it?
Let the light be turned on. The hearing next Saturday
morning affords a good chance to work the searchlight on
some dark spots.

in tho second place, It Is ilntnmfnrt

portunities for further kicks fiom an
outinged community.
A signed nitlcle In tho morning
paper by tho owner thereof disclaims
lespnnslbillty for the ilclous attack
on tho IlawallaiiH published a few days
ago In another column.
Tho disclaimer, It happens, comes
some ten days after tho offense Hint
biought It foith. In the meantime,
the sentiment not only among tho lla
wallans, but among clcry detent cle
ment In tho community as well has
been ono of indignation lit tho on
callcd-for assault on tho Hawaiian clt

Tho abject apology mado this morn

that tho particular depnrflnent in
which tho original attack appeared Is
n Bort of a "free Innco" department,
and "docs not represent tho sentiment
of tho management or publishers of

Probably not. Ono would llko to
