M .cnnrf-clMt matter THURSDAY MAY 23, 1912 We musk do our human work honestly and irreproachably, regardless of whether nc hope to become angels or trhethcr nc believe u'c had once been molluscs. Rusl(in. National Committeeman I lolstein and Col. Sam Parker are not only on tlie Taft band wagon, but way up on the front seat. Tliey are demon strating the sincerity of Hawaii's pos.tion, that it makes no -difference whether the other fellow is getting delegates or not, Hav-vii is for Taft. That's all. The affidavit of Supervising Principal Raymond published in the Bul letin of Wednesday, effectively exposes part of the political game of Prin cipal Copeland in the Department of Public Instruction. The threats of Copeland are a gratuitous insult to any teacher who has no other purpose than the honorable one of doing his djty as an educator. If Copeland's position is abetted and upheld by Commissioner Aiken, it amounts to a dis graceful combination besmirching the g:od name which the public school ad ministration of this Territory has hithsrto held. Copeland should leave the service of the department. And if Aiken is of the same kind and operates under the same school of tactics, he slnuld have the good sense to get out also. The public schools of Hawaii should be absolutely divorced from the politics that Copeland's game represents. DIRECT PRIMARY AND THE PEOPLE. Not the slightest doubt exists as to the sentiment of the people on the direct primary. In the platforms of three campaigns, the Republican party has declared or the direct primary. These platforms have been supported by three popular victories for the Republican party. And for three sessions of the Legislature a minority of Republicans in the Senate have violated, their parly pl-'dge, t their solemn promise to the people, by assisting 1n the defeat of the direct primary law. The Towse bill which the Governar, vetqed.at the la( 'session, of the Leg islature was not a direct prjmary measure. It was merely the old-fashioned strm of legalizing the party methods of choosing delegates to conventions. Surdy this would have been an improcment over the present scheme, where crocked tactics and money-purchased and money-ruled primaries are a com mon practise indulged' in by the "bes citizens." If it had become a law, liowcvcr, it might have longer delayed ihs eventual direct primary victory. TV direct primary record of the Territory of Hawaii is today a record of till- political perfidy of a minority'of Republicans. Net the slightest doubt exists as to the sentiment of the people of Hawaii on th" direct primary. THE PRESIDENTIAL CANVASS., w 1 ' ' The intense interest this has for Hawaii at this time l(es in the possibility, almost vthe probability, of the election now; pf,a Pem ocratic President, made possible through the seemingly irreparable split in the Republican party. Advertiser. The first answer to this is "Rats." The presumption of President Taft's defeat for the nomination, on which the foregoing paragraph was written, and the assumption that the Republican party is irretrievably split, are expressions of timidity and a lack of knowl edge of what Republicanism is and means to the American people. Our contemporary evidently does not realize that President Taft's re sponse to the Ohio result starting immediately for New Jersey is merely carrying out the old American ideal voiced by John Paul Jones, who, when asked if he had surrendered, replied,"'! have just Begun to fight." &, True, the Taft campaign has not gone according to schedule but there is a 'long road ahead before his opponent is to be conceded the victory in the nominating convention. There's no doubt that Roosevelt is a wonder, but there are lots of Republicans in that class and it is still a first class scrap. And as to the fate of the Republican parly, "the seemingly irreparable split." Never beforehas the country seen an. .ex-President $o bitterly on the trail of a President, but when it, corncs,4tD .bitter quarrels, we, must remember that this is'by'no means the first. Even so great a leader as Abraham Lincoln was doubtful of renomination, and himself penned a note expressing his be lief that he would not be reelected. Many Americans remember what a devouring of previous utterances there was when William McKinley was nominated 'on a gold platform; also the apparent certainty of victory for Bryan had the election taken place a few weeks after his nomination. We Americans fight and fight hard in our political contests. But his tory shows that the calm secorJdlhoV8ht of the citizen, before he goes to the polls is what finally tells the story,, and we have never yet gone seriously wrong. ' The real issue today is the Individual as against the Corporation. The difference in the Republican party uutnere'ly .'whether Taft is as ' aggressive in behalf of the Individual as Mr. Roosevelt. The man who wins the nom ination will secure the Republican vote, and carry on the fight for the Indi- j 'victual as against the Corporation,. . 1 1 The mainland American voter does not carry his principles as he would his coat,.diang?diU?,iuit,.theiOccaMpn,.Jike SQ-many alleged or self-declared . good citizens of Hawaii. " . .t tr I'ndcr the heading of "Hawaii and I Her Leprosy Again," the Medical Sen-' Unci for Mny publishes tho following editorial I tThe Kvcnliig Telegram (Portland, ' Ore.) of April 19, In a special ills-j patch fiom Vancouver, n. 0., tolls how' 1 Canada Is being urged to keep a con-t slant lookout for tho importation of leprosy from linn all. I Mr 11 O. Donghcr, who lias Just re-' (timed from Honolulu, and who Is ere-' atlng great rxrltement among tho. quarantine officers of Victoria nnd Vancouver, declares that Hawaii Is a menace by reason of her leprosy. He states that one out of every sixty-four, persons in Hawaii Is afflicted vllh the dread disease, and quotes Dr. Carl lla mus, chief quarantine o (II cor of the port of Honolulu, as follows "The spread of leprosy in Ilnwnll Is due to nxlty In the segregation laws." Mr,. Dntighcr further declares that Dr. 1 tu rn im had brought the matter before he Commercial Club of Honolulu but' nothing was done owing to polities!, u-ondltlons existing In tho country. So' lax are the laws that lepers are per- mlttcd to leave the receiving station1 and walk the turrets of Honolulu, vis-) it the theaters, and mix with crowds, without restraint. A short time ago the Sentinel pub lished a series of articles on "Hawaii and Her Leprosy," by Doctor J. Chris O'Day. of Portland. In theso articles Dr. O'Day's plea was that Hawaii dl vorce the leprosy question from Iter polities The articles were written j vlth n clear understanding of the sit ' nation, ns Dr O'Day hns practiced medicine In Honolulu, but they were not received kindly by the Honolulu ress.

Speaking of the breakwater work, ho says thai If his company had the contract for the entire job, id take the breakwater to completion, he would guarantee' to finish tho task within 2Vj tears from date. As it Is, tho half of tho contract that his company now hns In hand, although two years are allowed for its fulfillment, will be fin ished six months ahead of time. Thero aro only 217.000 tons of mn terlal to be handled In tho preseut cou- tract, whereas, as a matter of exam-;1 pie of what can be done when the proper paraphernalia is Hupplled, In an eight months' season on an eastern Job last year tho company handled 800,000 tons of material, at tho rate of 100,000 tons a month. On Lake Krle last oar 3G3.000 tons of material were placed In one job. I Apparently tho Ureakwnter Com pany has made up Its mind that when the half of the breakwater upon which It Is now engaged Is done, It will make u strenuous effort to take the comple tion of tho big work, for It Is so ar ranged that nono of the company!) material or apparatus Is on Govern ment land and It cannot be told to move.
