THE BANDS CZ4R AGAIN
Members of tho Government Bund
are in constant dread ot tho Kappel
meister Why Because of his apish
looltlng physlog And further be
cause ho lacks tho first Instinct of be-
lug n gentleman Ho calls them Ice-
los monkeys and they take It
meekly No other class of men would
r stand It and ho wouldnt dare uso such
term to while men for wo believe tho
moment It Is used to white men some
body would go about with a broken
nose or something akin to It Only
Hawallans take to It som6what kindly
overlooking It as being only a joko
But such a joko has gone too far In
our opinion Ho appears a gentleman
to those ho wishes to flccco and to
gain their good opinion of himself but
he Is not to tho man under him being
very selfish and Insulting
T A joint resolution was adopted by
both branches of tho Legislature last
year with regard to docking tho pay of
jnombera of tho Government Band for
Hbsenco from servlco either by sick
ness or otherwise If wo rcmombcr
Tightly thoso who woro sick for twen
ty days and showed a doctors certifi
cate wero not to bo docked but were
to recelvo full pay etc Yet with this
joint resolution In view and only of
recent occurrence with tho full cogni
zance of Capt Berger tho orstwhtlo
and czarlsh bandmaster ho has gono
to work at his old game of shaving off
pay and over which thoro was com
plaint and an investigation held by tho
Houso Military Committee said com
plaints woro borne out to a certain I
extent tho chalrwau of tho commlttco I
ttMaUMtaUMU
being well aware of tho facts ho being
a former bandsman himself
Now lo our caso During tho pnat
month a member was kept homo by
ulckncwj for about a fortnight on pay
day Monday last ho turnod up with
a doctors certificate which Mr Bcr
gcr should have accepted as being suf
ficient prima faclo evidence of Bitch
sickness but ho did not do so and lg
nored It Ho docked his man to tho
tunc of 30 30 wo arc Informed Both
the Auditors and the Attorney Gencr
nls departments were appealed to and
no relief whatever could bo given by
cither Tho party doused was told
that Mr Berger had all tho say and
that all tho power lay with him to do
as ho pleased Tho joint resolution
wn3 pointed out and he was told that
It had no force or effect Such being
tho caso what recourse Is there loft
Wo think an appealto the Governor
should bo made for relief by the party
aggrieved
If wo have been correctly informed
wo would llko to know whether Hcrr
not Slice Berger is over and above a
legislative expression Tho joint res
olution In question was not signed by
tho Governor because there was no
need for It to make It a law It being
only an expression of legislative opin
ion The sooner it Is known that Mr
Berger Isover tho law making bodies
the better for all concerned in tho fu
ture It is hoped that future Legisla
tures may know how to deal with and
to treat this man who has about out
grown his usefulness Such czarlsh
methods of one with a mulish instinct
should not be tolerated In an Americas
community
The Maui Court Term
It Is understood that the Attorney
Generals Department under the guid
ance ot Deputy Attorney Qeneral Pe
ters has changed ythe one to represent
tho Government at the Circuit Court
term In Walluku next week Instead
of N W Alull going as announced on
the courts calendar wo aro Informed
that that other nincompoop from Ka
uai Mr Prossor wo bellovo his name
should bo prosit Is tp do tho grand
on Maul How now whats tho matter
with Peters Is ha ready to petro
out on a lay of holding forth a prosit
tournament Alull is also a kinder
gartner but we think ho can do better
than the substitute Why not send
Fleming up for we bellove Maui will
go cranky over him And If not
theres ouf brother of tho quill up
there the Maul Nows man hes old
and hoary onco a gold
Democrat but now a silver
lined Republican and hotel keeper tho
man who hardly ever had a case In tho
District Court up there Try him aud
wo think holl do very well better
than either Flomlng or Prossor
RrpcbUoaa Boss Rnle
Tho appointment of A W Neoly to
bo chief deputy of tho tax office is
simply another illustration of how the
Republican central committee is lord
ing It over Government officials James
L Holt was appointed on Monday to
bo tax assessor It was tho natural
presumption that ho was competent
to hold tho office and to select tho offi
cers to work under him Tho Repub
lican commlttco held a meeting how
over and said to Mr Holt You must
appoint ono of two m4n to bo your
chief doputy elthor Neoly or Tom
King It Ib getting so that Govern
ment officials aro not in anywise their
own masters In anything They aro
merely tools ot tho committee In the
meanwhile the community suffers by
having Its paid servants bow tho sup
pliant kneo to tho committee with the
regularity of a Hindoo worshipper
OPIGS OF THE MY
Sono of the hard working employes
of the Government had to accept I O
Us yesterday In lieu ot a part of their
salaries At tho Bsyno tlmo tho Na
tional Guard drew down n largo sum
for beer and the cost of periodical
high jinks isnt that carrying a fool
proposition entirely too far It may
bo good for Hockings brewery but It
hits the business community a little
too hard for comfort And of that wo
aro positive
Now that the financial caso is to
como up In the courts Governor Car
ter and Secretary Atkinson take a no
tion that their presence Is urgent on
the Island of Kauai In other words
they arc deliberately dodging tho Is
sue Thoy are afraid to stay here and
defend tho law as It might bring them
Into conflict with certain business In
terests and they do not wish to ap
pear as opposing tho plans now map-
i ped out Hence they skip
Wo spoke a llttlo too soon In regard
to that dinner to Secretary Shaws son
and tho pay for tho same It wo had
laid mum the dinner and champagne
would have been paid for out of tho
appropriation for State dinners which
of course would have been a false di
version ot public fundB Secretary At
kinson tool a tip from our premature
alarm howbver and tho thing is now
off Tho fine looking officials who en
tertained yOung Mr Shaw on what
they supposed to be our government
money wllKnow have to dig In their
jeans for tho amount
In refusing tho privilege of landing a
Japanese ciiulo at Guam tho United
States has done tho correct thing
This Is no tlmo for granting special
privileges to cither of the warring par
ties in tho prlent no matter how pop
ular sympathies may run It Is piob
abaly true that tho United States and
Great Britain aro heartily in sym-
lathy with Japan but that is no com
plete reason for placing a weapon in
tho hands of a frlond for deadly uso
ngalnst another friond A cable to
Guam wluld mean the flooding of tho
world with proJapancse war news
and that Is what Japan wants
In most of tho States rich cities
with threo to six times tho voting pop
ulation of Honolulu support from ono
to three military companies Thoy
aro supported by tho members of tho
companies themselves tho Govern
ment supplying only tho uniforms
gunSj ammunition and money for en
campments In Honolulu with less
than 5000 voters all told soven full
companies of militia aro kept up and
tho public are called upon to maintain
tho oxpenso of a full roglmontal es
tablishment And there is about as
much uaq for a National Guard in theso
Islands as thcro Is for a brigade of po
llco in Westminster Abbey
Tho kindergarten of Attorney Gener
al Androws has received another ro
crult to bo paid for by tho public
Tho now man Is a bag of wind from
Kauai familiarly known as M F Pros
ser Young Prossor camo hero clovon

S1STANT ATTORNEY GENERAL
In big lcttcis
Tho stevedores union has struck
against McCabo Hamilton Ronnie
a stevedoring firm and in doing so has
dono tho correct thing As wo under
stand the matter the stevedoring Arm
has persistently employed Japanese to
work nlongsldo of or In place of notlvo
and white laborers Tho stevedores
as citizens and voters have lepeatcdly
demanded asd contended for a living
show That consideration thoy hnvo
not had and patience has ceased to bo
a virtue They lwvo been forced to
declare themselves to be men amongst
men and nof coolies to work with
coolies to demand tho right ot com
petition on equal grounds In the line
of business they follow They Bhould
have and probably have tho sympa
thy and support of the community at
large
As wo understand the thing and
we think wo havo a pretty clear con
ception of it there was no hostility
manifested nor intended In tho action
of tho Democratic central commlttco
In refusing to endorse the Homo Rulo
proposition of asking Congress for a
county net While recognizing the fact
that the controlling element of tho Re
publican party Is opposed to decentral
ized government and that two of tho
Supreme Court judges arc under the
thumb of that element what may be
reasonably calculated as a majority of
this community Is In favor of local con
trol of locnl affairs That principle
we have been given to understand
guided the Democratic central commit
tee in its action nnd if that bo true
the Democratic central committee was
exactly on the head of tho right nail
