A LESSON PROM PORTO RICO.
Less than a couple of years ago,
during the campaign of 1900, tho
Democratic section of the press was
filled with columns of scare head fctor
les about the stnrvlng Porto Itlcans
and the depression In Porto Ittco, all
of which was attributed to the annexa
tion of the Inland by the United Stntcs
and the application of American laws
The Fornker act continued alt Spanish
laws In force until amended or repeal
ed by the local legislative assembly
Hut a little thing like the truth Is
quickly turned nBtde by Deraociatlc
campaigners,
But the legal s)stem of Porto Itlco
Is fast coming Into closo hnrmony
vlth the general principles of law
prevailing In the United States. And
what Is the result? Mr L S Itowe,
chairman of the law and revision com
mlsBlon of Porto Itlco, sn)s that the
feeling of buo)nncy now prevnlent In
Porto Itlco stands In marked contrast
with the depression of two )enrs ago
This Is due to the adaptation of Amcr
Iran methods and the abandonment of
the Spanish s)stem of government
Mr Howe adds, and this Is a point
worthy of consideration In Hawaii,
"both political patties have come to
the support or the administration nnd
the lenders pledged support to the
Governor In their efforts for tho ad
vancement of the common Interests
of the Island "
Here Is n case where both political
parties have thrown aside their differ
ences for the common weal of their
common Island home If tho Porto
Rlcans can set us this example, how
much easier It should be for the two
factions of one political party to come
together hero for the advancement of
the common Interests of this gioup of
Islands which Is n Territory of the
United States and should be teaching,
not learning from, Porto Hlco
Most Interesting In this connection
Is tho fact that the reeling of buoy
ancy which now prevails throughout
Porto Hlco Is due to the Improvement
of the credit of the municipalities, as
shown In the San Juan lonn There Is
no question of Territorial administra
tion In Porto Hlco It Is purely a ques
tlon of good municipal government,
bated upon a sound American system
of legislation. The floating of this San
Juan loan, we nre told, "will enable the
cities and towns to undertake much
needed Improvements In drainage, wa
ter supply and sanitation' It Is held
by Borne that tho floating of n Tcrrl
torlal loan at this Juncture would
hardly show such an "Improvement In
the credit" of Hawaii as was evinced
In the ense or the San Juan loan Hut
give us the municipalities nnd let the
cities nnd towns have tho local gov
ernment, Tor which they are so anx
ious. In ordei to secure "much needed
Improvements In drnlnnge, water sup
ply and sanitation," and the first lonn
or Hawaii can be replaced, In less than
two )ears, by a new Ishiio or bonds
that would show much Improvement
In our ciedlt nnd effect considerable

Try it. Governor Dole. Give tho
people what the) want
Don't let it be said thntthe Ameilcan
citizens of the first Island tenltory an

ble of local self gov eminent
Don't let It be said that Hawaii can
not flout a loan on nny terms

ture to pass a municipal government

Mi Smith deals with Honolulu s
possibilities and necessities rrom the

tils travels enable) him to draw com
parlsons and offei suggestions appro
ptlate to our local conditions Prac
tical development In keeping with a
well defined plan Is what wo should
aim to secure and It Is along these
lines that l)r Smith writes
There Is really no excuse ror crooked,
narrow or crowded streets In this cny
Honolulu ought to be the cleanest and
the prettiest city or Its slzo In the
United States. It has tho wealth nnd
the material to work with What It
lacks Is enthusiastic civic pride and
the energy to go ahead. With a lew
to securing an exchango of opinion
and voicing the sentiment for city Im
provement The llullctln will publish
articles from various citizens taking
an Interest In a more progressiva de
velopment It Is hoped and believed
that thu public attention thus called
to the capabilities of the town will aid
materially in crystallizing public sen
timent In n manner that will result In
nctlon on broad and well defined lines
of progress.
THE MUNSDY NBW8PAPUR.
When Frank A Munsey. the revolu
tionlzer of magazlno publications,
started Into the newspaper field by tho
purchase of tho Dally Nowb of New
York and the Washington Times, thero
was much speculation among publish
ers and renders as to what ho would
do Munsey's career as a magazlno
publisher proved him to be a man of
ideas. His magazines are by no
means jellow In tho Hcarstonlan
sense, but they Bcrved to upset tho
old fashioned Ideas as thoroughly as
Hearst has in the newspaper field
Hence It was that the question n-oso
whether Munsey, ns n newspaper own
er would start In to out-Hearst Hearst,
strike n happy medium, or blaze an
entirely new pathway ror making a
newspaper popular and a force In the
great centers of tho country. In both
Washington nnd New York tho iiowb
paper field Is well supplied and com
petition of the fiercest kind faced the
new candidate for honors. Ho is
conducting the papers as a business
proposition, spending mone) ho has
earned by his own effort, nnd nuking

local, without, however, slighting tno
general news or the world to such n
marked degree as Hie "jcllows." of

there Is no tendent) to pander to tho

BOSS KIIEPIIBRD-AN EXAMPLE.
Tho city of Washington, D C. which
practical!) means tho District of Col'
umbln Is preparing to turn out In force
to give n rousing welcome to ox Gover
nor Alexander it. shepherd.
This man Shephcid was thirty iears
ago heralded In tho most malldouB
words that "good government" forces
could pen ob "Boss Shepherd " And
thereby hangs nn Interesting tnlo re
plete with lessons nnd worthy of con
templntlon by honest citizens who bo-
lirve their wny is the only way.
Mr Shepherd was Governor of tho
District or Columbia when that Bectlon
jf our country was under n Territorial
form of government Shepherd was a
man or nctlon. He did thlnas. tie
believed the capital city or the nation
should bo ns near Ideal In tho laying
jut or streets, parks and public grounds

capital should be second to none In the
world. hen Shepherd assumed ofilco

what should be done. They did noth.

progressing, building up the city and
making It beautiful No sooner did ho
begin actual, rorceful work, than ho
became tho object of the most malic
ious attack any public officer has
ever been subjected to. As one paper
puts It, he was subjected to a "storm
or petty protests, reverberating bill
Ingsgate nnd a chorus or utilitarian
voices." Hut Shepherd forKeel ahead
He worked with what he had He met
the utilitarian cr) by a renewnl or en
ergy and n more steadfast determina
tion to enrry out his broad intnaed
designs Ho was charged with being
corrupt and or epitomizing nil the evil
roices to be round In American covern-
ment. He was written up nnd down
the country as a "Hoss " But Shep
herd still forged ahead.
Ho was charged with saddling tax-
pa) ers and the Federal Government
with unnecessary burdens or taxation
Still Shepherd ringed ahead.
A movement waB made In Congress
to remove tho capital to a western
city Shepherd rought tho proposition
nnd conqueied He secured tho friend
ship of President Grant, which nt that
time was supposed to reflect no credit
on Grant He Interested Northern
capitalists in District bonds. Ho se
cured nppioprlatlons from Congress to
tho extent or about J25.OUO.000 for
beautlf)lng the city and snent the
greater part or his own private fortune
ror the same purpose and for fighting
his enemies.
All these things were nt the time
cited as evidence of "Boss" Shepherd's
corrupt methods nnd "Hosb" Shep
herds corrupt government. Tho
Btorm raised about Shepherd's head
resulted In a Congressional Investlira.
tlon, a change to the present form of
government and "Boss" Shepherd wnB
practically run out of town, out of tho
country Indeed, for ho went to tho
.Mexican mines to retrieve his fallen
fortune.
But tho work Shepherd started went
on. The beautiful avenues, parks and
public giounds he planned remained.
The tiees with which lie lined tho
streets of tho city did not stop grow
Ing. Time worKed out tho problem and
slowly but surely the people camo to
appreciate their own short slchtcd
ncss and tho wisdom nnd foresight of
Shepherd Somo )ears ago this much
maligned man who had been ruined
financially, visited Washington, and
tho leading citizens of tho town seem
ed unable to find words with which
to express theli profound eratltmln
for what he had done. Ho Ib to pay
mo city nnotlier visit and the citizens
aie planning to oxtend to him such a
welcome ns is due the man who "lifted
Washington City out of tho mud. '
What has this to do with Hawaii
and the city of Honolulu?
It merely shows that t.,e men who
shout "corruption" tho loudest, tho
men who deramo others who would
forge ahead In. spite of difficulties are
often times the most short sighted and
are Indeed tho enemies of that "good
government" which seekB an energetic
present and a prosperous and peaceful
tuture,
Honolulu and the Territory aro to
day lolling In tho doldrums of nrartl
caj retrogression for no other reason
than that those officials who can act
and those whose province and duty It
la to move forward refuse to do to.
"Good government" never was and
never will bo accomplished by such
means. Hawaii would be fortunate to
day If It had a "Boss" Shepherd at the
head of affairs. Its people would be
better contented. Its local entcrm-lses
and Its business interests better serv
ed and the citizens of the future
would look back with more satisfac
tion Upon tile work of the founders nf
tho Territory.
Hawaii needs progressive force.
