HOITEK Editor Manager Hawaii's Delegate Contrary to the judgment, wish es, advice a 11 d anticipations of some of his best friends at Hono lulu, and of each of the islands -men with u o other objects in view than h i s own good and the promotion of Hawaii's wel fare at home and at Washing ton - Delegate Jonah Kalaniaua ole has personally announced him self as -j candidate for re - election to Congress. He intimates that he will run as a Republican, but ad vances no platform and mates no promises, save to say that if elect ed for the seventh time "my best endeavors shall be exerted in your behalf." A very general and generous s.-ntinient (entirely favorable.) is aroused by any appeal that Prince Kuhio may make to tne people of these islands. A feeling of extra ordinary m mpathy ,the outgiou Ih, lurhips, of the unique position he holds in the community as the last ol" the Hawaiian aliis - exists; and there is a universal desire to favor him and, if you will, yield to his peculiar, or natural, as the ease may be, vanicies. Thus, probably few, especially among the native Hawaiians and old - timers of the white citizenship, would denv his ai),)COl 1"r .,-.. ; withoi ' . ..nigs ot sincere, and pardonable, regret. Hut the crude business phase of the prop( silion ha:; of late become so prominent and ital that senti ment, however deep - rooted, gen uine and justified by circumstan ces, pales into insigni fie nice before it. This sentiment is a fine thing at home; it must and should be given fullest swing within its 1 ightf ul province, lint in Washing ton unusual ability, diplomacy and constant vigilance and activity are the qualities that hecome the real factors that make for usefulness and success; and official represen tation there is shorn bare ot senti ment of every class and character. Conditions at Washington change in rapid, kaleidoscopic or der. A man in ollicial life must be "on the job" and alert every min ute of the time. Tlie friends of one session in Congress, and in com mittees, are in the political scrap- neap 1 n e next year, ami 11 e w 1 friendships must be formed and new wires rapidly and intelligently laid for each recurring session. Conditions change; thought chang es; plans of manipulation a n d maneuvering 101 legislative advan r , - , 1 tages are seldom the same two ears in succession During the first years of Kuliio's work in Washington he displayed a satisfactory measure of activity, fair diplomacy and considerable ability. It may be stated in this j connection that he was fortunate, 1 at that period, in having a large number of colleagues in Congress I who had visited Hawaii and to 1 nance which will keep estray ani that additional extent felt a per-finals from the public highways sou d interest in legislation affect- should indicate to the county ail ing the welfare of the Territory . j thorities that there- is a very strong Moreover, tile administration itself I public sentiment on this matter, was particularly friendly to the j The suggestion by one member Islands, while public sentiment that "politics" was at the bottom seemed to be on the side of consid- ei ai ti eatinent of the new, baby 'Territory, (juite a good deal was but if true there is good promise accomplished for Hawaii then, and that it may become a boomerang.

We and a;.; . ui to Washington as tha would like to hear from the other ofiii ial icprei-eutative of this Ter- side on this matte! , if theie be a:-.y I j., i y. Other side I Mole than two years ago fiicnds ti I !io IX le(;.ite nbscned (with j deep regret, it 111 a v he trulv said) j that his old time zeal and activi ty had materially lessened. It dc- veloped that he was in an uncer jtain state of health, due, it was felt bv his friends, in a large mea sure, to t he rigors of the climate at I Washington. However, the elect- 01s of the Islands gratified his de sire to be returned to Washington for another term. The results are a matter o f recent history and common notoriety. What is to be said of the future if Kuhio is again sent to Congress? Will he be able to ' brace up" and give to Hawaii the service which is of so much importance, and which is becoming more difficult and piobiematical as the responsi bilities of our great cotiiitrv multi ply in various parts of the world? Matters have gone from bad to worse. There is no gainsaying that proposition. The most ardent admirer and staunchest friend of Delegate Kuhio must admit it. Is tliere a hope that a change may occur? Can Kuhio "come back?" It might be possible, but we doubt it. Surveying the situation from every view - point, it seems to us that he has "taken the count" and that his day of usefulness in Washington is done. Delegate Kuhio states hiniselt that his health improves upon his : eUirn to Hawaii Then, tor his own sake, also, let him stop at home. Here in Hawaii he will receive the full measure of that respect and aloha which belongs to him, and will have every opportunity of serving his people and his country in a worlhv manner, and in a larger de gree, perhaps, than h e has ev er been able to do at Washington. So general and deeo - rooted U:- the opinion become in I lit sTatuls that a change at - .,uli,Bton i s not onhy ,,ut llecessury iiiat it is now very doubtful that Kuhio could be elected again even if nominated. Oahu turned him down in the last election and would probably go to greater lengths this year; while the saving majorities of the outside islands would, almost without doubt, be greatly reduced. Thus, as a result of the appeal ance of Kuhio in the field as the party's nominee, stu dents of the situation agree that there would be grave danger of the delegate-ship being lost to the Republicans altogether. It is, therefore, a serious prob lem which confronts the Republi can purtv of the Islands - one I ivllirll lllllt i llunrllpfl alnnn hnci- ness lines and in a business - like way. What is to be done? The ail ment is recognized - what is the cure? What is Hawaii to do to save herself at Washington? How is the Republican partv of Hawaii to hold the seat in Congress which has been its own for so many years? j There h a s appeared in the I field as a competitor in the Repub lican primaries for the nomination a son ?of Kauai - Hon. Chas. A. . Rice; a m a n of masked ability, standing, vigir and possessed of the numerous other qualities so essen tial tosu:eessat Washington. The way out of the difficulty is thus made clear. Tin: I'Assach by the Chamber f Commerce, by unanimous vote. of a resolution calling upon the Hoard of Supervisors for an ordi of failures of such a measure ii the past mav or not be correct not be YV'K A:isk to repeat that Kauai has no place in iis political nee. uni ties or j)lans for the so-called Pro gressive Party. We are quite willing over here to take our chances with the two recognized national parlies, and are too busy to listen to either cranks or politi cal soreheads with personal axes to grind. Mr. Progressive Carter has sent out cards to the school teach ers of the Territory, asking their support of his campaign. Just watch our Kauai school ma' ams climb into the Progressive band ,vagou! D-e-e-lighted? Nit! "The democratic organization is going to oppose the appointment of mainlanders to office in Ha waii," is an interesting announce ment made by the Honolulu news papers. Is this the same "Demo cratic Organization" that endors ed Mr. "Soapbox" Harron for the office of postmaster? The writer of that famous an onymous letter to Governor Pink ham might just as well have sign ed his name to it, and it would hav- looked and been much better He is wrong in several of his con tentions, and could be easily set right were his identity known. When the official announce ment of a candidate for public of fice has to take the form of apolo gies for short -com ings covering a period of fourteen years, is it not high time tor intelligent voters to iook around for a man who has something more to offer than apologies? TEIMH-- HAVE NEW SERIES At a meeting of the Lihue Ten nis Club held last Wednesday evening it was decided to begin a series of games with outside clubs of Kauai, the date of the be ginning oi the series to be arranged by the executive committee and the Kilaueas to be the first club played. The games will be men's singles, ind if all the clubs of the island take a hand the tournament will last several weeks. The attendance at the meeting was quile large and much interest was manifested in the discussion.

Rice sailed Sa turday afternoon for Honolulu to confer with friends regarding the launching ot his campaign for nom ination as, a candidate for dele gate to Congress. He may return tomorrow but that will depend largely upon the amount of work he has found it necessary to do at the capital in the matter. Senator Rice is, in general, oppos ed to the practice of paid runners for campaign purposes; and inas much a s considerable objection was raised in the last campaign to the system, it mav be that all part ies will agree to eliminate it this year. It is not the intention of the Senator to open a headquarters at Honolulu for the present, but he will do so later on, when his plan ot campaign is more definitely shaped out. FOR MISS HASTIE One of the nicest affairs of the week was the shower given by Mrs. Morse, of the Kleele High lands, in honor of Miss Mable Haslie, who is soon to lie a bride. The invited guests assembled on the broad lanais, which w ere daintily decorated with banana leaves and ferns, and spent the afternoon in sewing. Later, all were called to the d'liing room where a clothes line hung and from it many, mysterious pack ages. Mis Hasiie w n s jskrl to gather in the "wash" which proved to be dainty bits of linen and cut-glass. After the "wash" was gathered in, refreshments of salad, sandwiches, tea, cake an 1 sherbeat were s-rved. Among those who enjoyed Mrs. Morse's hospitality were: Mrs. Brown, Misses Mengler, Miss Marv Iirvant, Mrs Roendahl, Mrs. Deas, Mrs. Silva, Mrs. Pillar, Miss de Lackner, Miss Blue, Miss Ei-a Hastie, Miss Janet Hast'e, Miss Oiace lag.
