THE STAR AND ITS CONTEST.
If is hardly necessary to tell advertisers that this paper, since its
mvutr decided that it must resume its original place in Hawaiian jour
nalism, has more limn doubled in circulation. They know this without
lidng told, for the Star's advertising; hs steadily increased until it has
Compelled a twelve-page paper each day but Saturday and a twenty-four-pngc
paper then these figures of proportion being much exceeded
OIJ special occasions. Old advertisers have increased their space and
former one who had not used the Star for some years have come back.
The reason for this is to be found first in the business returns of Star
advertising; secondly in a phase of public spirit which encourages a
newspaper to stand for the things that arc right and to do so without
counting the cost. ' . .
The management feels that its duty to the advertising public as
well ns to itself, is not to be content with a doubled and a trebling cir
culation, but to take measures to make every English-reading person
in this Territory know and prefer the Star. That knowledge and that
preference is very wide now but it can be wider. Accordingly we are
fMtnriiiT iinnn .-i costlv contest camnaien, headed by a substantial cash
prize. The particulars are given elsewhere in these pages and need not
be repeated here. Good hard gold has not figured before except by
;,i,lir,rtinn in contests of this kind, but in this case it talks and rings
irim in ltlr r"nl11ltlr.
The mere making of money is not the primary object of this wide
spread canvass for subscribers. The chief object is to give the Star
a business which will enable it to make improvements of a sort to fix
it in an unrivalled place in the colonial journalism of America, without
trnii rr Um'nn1 it's nV11 eornorate resources. To have the Star the
largest, the most enterprising, the best-written, the best illustrated and

DUTY OF COLLEGE MEN.
One of the powerfulinstrumentalities that gave Mr. Dole his ap
pointment of Territorial' governor when the color-line cards had been
stacked at Washingtonfor Sam Parker, was a memorial in his favor

and make it clear where the university sentiment stands towards the
governorship.
Along with this petition others signed by the Buckeye Club and
professional and commercial men would help to clinch the matter and

WORK FOR CITIZENS.
I do not care a tinker's cus about those vital things, concerning'
which the statesmen fuss ami crow and Hap their wings. I saw my
little pile of woofl. mid pay up as I go, and all the
IT IE VITAL world's serene and good and 1 am shy of woe. If men
ISSUES would cease to fret so hard oer public ills and crimes,
and tinker round their own back yard, they d have
much better times. It is a narrow, selfish view ot course, that s under
stoodbut folks who're always in a stew don't seem to do much good,
I think that I do just as much to help the world along when 1 mow
weeds and sing a Dutch or Alpine yodhng song, i do as much when.
I produce my little roll ot bills, and pay tnc niiiKinan ior ins juice, me
ilrninnst for his nills. I've often noticed that the nidi who paw the air
and Jiawl, arc slow at (figging up the yen when bill collectors call. I'll drums fil
let the nation go its gait, I'll simply let it slide; I( couldn't keep the ,tlty of til
blamed thing straight, no odds now nam i ineu ; i u iei uie statesmen
blow the foam from lips that never rest, and I'll just tinker round at
home, and do my little best.

Jifion-nartisan courses. When the Tweed ring ended its career of plun-
"fiW nnd its members were disnersed between prisons and exile, the
"result was due to the good men of all parties .joining under the leader-
shin nf .i non-nartisan committee, ine oreaKintr un oi uie t-nitauu
boodle board of aldermen also came of a citizens' movement, as did the
rivic nitrification of Philadelphia, now about to be resumed. Our
readers are oiiite familiar with the non-partisan phases of San Fran
Cisco's political regeneration. Edward Robinson Taylor (Dem.) suc
ceeded Schmitz (Labor) as mayor, not because any party machine was
behind him, but because the decent citizens of all parties wanted him ;
and James Rolph, Jr., (Rep.) is victor over P. H. McCarthy (Labor)
not because of his politics but because the law-abiding elements in the
San Francisco citizenship combined to elect him. The machines in the
two great parties were" comparatively silent.
If Honolulu is to be won from its base politics if economy, re
trenchment and reform are to be the three graces of our civic admin
istration then the duty of good citizens is to dissolve allegiance with the
Republican and Democratic machines and make up their minds to be
ready, when the time comes, to name a business men's ticket and elect
it. They can easily do so, for the machines, without the money they
collect from the business men, can do nothing.
Of course there will be contrary advice from a few who figure,
even conspicuously, in the ranks of the responsible citizenship. Some
of these men, in their corporate capacity, look to a machine-made leg
islature for favors, and will try and keep in with the politicians. Others
have vague ambitions to be governor and "would preserve party har
mony" to that end. Others are naturally timid and like a certain weak
kneed character in history "prefer peaceful, error to tempestuous truth."
But the Star believes there are enough firm-purposed, straight-backed
and politically disinterested citizens here to control the situation; to
elect a city and county ticket which will be the means of ending the
rule here of common incompetence and special graft.

"that would be dear anywhere else in the United States at $8000 a mile?
Its because of the wish to employ unskilled voting labor at 2
per diem, which never gives half a day's honest work for a full day's
pay, thus keeping its temper sweet until the next election.
Meanwhile taxes are so high in Honolulu that .they scare new
comers away and big bonded debts are being added.
Responsible people arc robbed by processes of law to maintain the
