THE ORGANS VIEW.
From a political point of view
the report (of (loveruor Frear's
promotion) contains Home ele
ments of probability. President
Taft assuredly wants the votes of
the delegation from Hawaii at
Chicago next June. With Governor
Frear In olllce under a reappoint
ment made In detlanco of tho Del
egate to Congress from Hawaii
tho chalices for n Taft delegation
ute not us good as would be thu
cuse Willi (Jovernor Fiear at
Washington and another In his
place In the territorial capital,
whether the change lie as It cer
tainly would be a promotion for
Frear or not. Ills absence would
suvu tho faces of those now op
posed to him and clear the polit
ical atmosphere. Kuhlo could with
good grace go Into the territorial
convention after a reiiomluiitlon
and Hawaii could stay In line us
a backer for a second term for
Taft Advertiser.
This interesting confession coming
is It does ftom Governor Fi ear's ac
cepted organ shows a very clear con
viction on the part of the Governor's
uipporters that to not reappoint the
loveruor would be better politics than
io reappoint him.
Ill other words, It would bo better
'or the American future of these ls
unds and the progressive results In
government if Governor Frear were
o take a position In Washington,
A hero he should be able to do a great
leal of good for Hawaii, and transfer
he duties of the Governorship of the
Territory to one In closer touch with
he people and for piactlcal reasons
letter able to get quick results with
ess trouble.
On this interpretation of the sllua
lon tho II u II e 1 1 n fully ugri.es with
he morning organ.
THE LATEST IN GOVERNORSHIP
MATTER.
Interpret as joti pleaso the rumor
3f Governor Frear being offered 10
tppolntnierit to the Governorship of
this Territory or promotion to soiiiii
ithur position, the rettl question at Is
itio Is whether Hawaii's Interests will

this fear of tho airship being utilized
by smugglers will be realized."
"Whut an unpatriotic wish!"

Papa You havo a lltllo brother

Willie O, I supiKiso It's all right,
but you might havo given me u

'Wr-'-" ' V' ' n t
be belter served with Mr. Frear In tho
Governorship or out of It.
If ninety out of a hundred In this
city and Territory were to speak their
honest conviction and we Include in
this some very well known citizens
who may linvu signed letters In sup
port of the Governor's reappointment
they would say, "lletler In Washing
ton, If tho rumor has any basis of
fact."
Ardent Frear supporters will Im
mediately say that the Hit I let In
takes this view becatiso it does not
like thu Governor. Bay what you
please, the facts cannot be denied.
Governor Frear with all his excel
lent qualities has not succeeded In
gaining the unhesitating confidence
and enthusiastic support of the peo
ple of the Territory. Mighty few men
In the Territory today believe that the
prospective ptra session of tho Leg
islature niul the certain election tuul
regular session coming only n few
mouths hence will be other than a tre
mendous load tu carry and keep level
on account of the bitter opposition
and hnlf-henrtcd support of which
Governor Frear 'R ndinlulstriitlon Muds
Itself thu center and thu recipient.
A great many men feel that the
Governor Is somewhat of a inlsllt In
an executive position, and yet they
think so highly or his abilities that
they will not openly oppose him, more
especially when they can llnd no one
among those they would like to see
i undo Governor who will accept the
otllce.
Delegate Kuhlo's form of opposing
tho Governor has not been such as to
enlist much open support. Hut there
Is no doubt that Delegate Kuhlo can
exercise a powerful Influence on the
locul politics of Hawaii by doing noth
ing more .exciting than to lemalii at
home and take no part 111 the partisan
campaigns. He has been making a
lone light and can do much political
damage III that capacity. What he
will do the 11 u 1 1 c 1 1 n has no Idea.
Conditions are such, however, that
a great blessing would full to Hawaii
If u solution could be reached that
will prevent u clash likely to bo car
