flicts it has ever known. Not the least
remarkable characteristic of the battle
has been the confusion which has prevailed in the minds of many as to the
issues involved. Time for clear thought
is now granted, and there can be little
doubt that the battle will prove fuller
of good lessons than any fought on this
soil in many a long day. It is well to
recall the steps in the development of
the present situation. After the Legislature had enacted the County Law
a widespread doubt as to its constitutionality began to prevail. Within six
days of the passage of the County Acts
the Executive Committee of the Civic
Federation met and voted to bring a
test case before the Supreme Court so
as to obviate the needless expenditure
of money for election expenses in case
the law should not' stand. Meantime,
throughout the community the conviction grew that the decision would be
against the law. Here occurred the
first mistake made by citizens who had
the good of the community at heart.
Even the Governor, as late as June I,
declared: "I do not think that it (the
County Act) is constitutional." This
feeling gave rise to a carelessness
which paid little attention to the
nomination of Mr. A. M. Brown for
sheriff on the Republican ticket, or to
the undisguised opposition of the nominating convention to the head of the
party in this Territory, Governor Carter. The convention met on May 20.
On June 2 the Supreme Court rendered
a unanimous decision, affirming the
constitutionality of the new law, and
Honolulu suddenly awakened to the awkward and anamolous situation with which
the nominating convention had faced the
Republican party. The first and natural
conviction of everyone was that it was
simply preposterous to maintain at the
head of the Republican county ticket one
who was notoriously opposed to the chief
of the party, and who had openly declared that his candidacy meant public
rebuke to the Governor who had removed
him. Meantime the Civic Federation was called together on June 7 to

No. 7

take the usual non-partisan action of like
organizations throughout the United
States, viz., that of serving as a bureau of
information to all citizens as to the various candidates for their suffrage. In due
from those candidates were endorsed, regardless of party, whose records were
believed to justify honest endorsement, as
worthy of the suffrages of good citizens.
Some names were passed for lack of information sufficient to enable the Federation to form a judgment. Others failed
of endorsement, including both candidates for sheriff. On June 10, the Federation endorsed the independent candidacy of William Henry for sheriff and J.
J. Fern for supervisor.

TAPhet olls
The ten days intervening before election were full of excitement. At one time
it looked as though the Fusion candidate,
Mr. Poepoe, for sheriff, would withdraw
and leave the field to Messrs. Brown and
Henry. This would have meant the
election of the latter. This was adroitly
prevented by the Republican candidate's
plea to voters to cast their ballots for the
Fusion nominee if they could not support himself. This advice encouraged
native electors to think that their man
might win after all, and stopped the Hawaiian stampede to Henry. When it became evident that Mr. Poepoe was thus
becoming a formidable factor, the argument that a vote for Henry might mean
the election of a Hawaiian rather than a
white man was successfully sprung upon
the weak-kneed class, to whom so-called
home rule in this Territory is the chief
of bugaboos.
The Democratic leader,
who had all along sensed the oppositions's rare opportunity of deepening
the split in the Republican party by discrediting the Governor through the election of Rrown, threw all his influence into
the scale and passed the word to stalwarts of his own party to cast their ballots for the regular Republican nominee
for sheriff. Add to this the mountebank
trick of the diligent circulation on election day of the canard that Henry had
withdrawn in favor of Poepoe, and every
fluctuating vote possible was nailed for
the Republican candidate. The election,
which was quiet and orderly, resulted in

were endorsees of this organization.
The Civic Federation

The outcome for this aggressive organization has been a formidable accession
of strength. Having no axe of its own
to grind and only the good of the community to forward, it fought its battle
fairly and upon the high ground of civic
righteousness. It has demonstrated thai
even in Honolulu the appeal to the conscience has tremendous weight. It lias
in one campaign proved that it can wield
the balance of power. 1 lereafter all parties in local elections will vie for its en
dorsement. There can be little question
that tile election of Mr. Brpwn will make
for its wider and more permanent influence. Much success at the outset is not
the liest fortune for an institution of this
nature. There promises to he a lot of
splendid work for it to do as the watchdog of the public interests in the new
regime of County Government. Meantime, the new sheriff, if gifted with wisdom enough to make use of the Federation, will find it a tower of Strength. It
has opposed him frankly on his past official record, not at all as a man. Indeed to some of its Hi'-st active members he is personally unknown. The
Federation stands ready to co-operate
with the new County Sheriff to make his
administration the distinguished success
which it trusts it will become,
What Of The Future?
It must not be overlooked, however
that the new sheriff takes up his duties
seriously handicapped by Irs supnort. It
is reported that he has given private assurances that his administration will be
free from the features which drew upon
him the condemnation of the Governor
Thus he stands committed to a clean conduct of his office. Can he deliver the
goods? A study of the ballots as they

than the class thus alluded to. It will

Phis to this the entanglements of Irs pre
vious term of office and the array is for

midahle. Can

he meet the issue? These

questions are not asked captiously or with
a view to discouragement. They merely
make clear the situation and their purpose is threefold—first, to arouse the
■logged spirit of "I will" in the County
Sheriff: second, to call to his aid in the
light the active sympathy of all good citizens, and third, to assure him that one
organization, the Civic Federation, will
stand behind him in every good thing he
does. If this statement be put to the test,
it will not be the first time that a seeming
foe has turned out friend in disguise.
The

Party Whip

The casting

of 860 votes for Mr
Henry out of 5,034. the total for sheriff
in the recent election, is a solemn handwriting on the wall to party managers.
It may he possible to coerce a majority
of Republicans in Honohth', as used to
be the case in staid old Philadelphia, to
hiss the shibboleth "straight ticket." hut
there are already 17 per cent, of those
voting at the recent election for whom
the party whip has become a poor lashless castaway. Fortunately the tendency
of such indenendence-loving contingents
js growth. Even the trustful Philadelnia worm has turned and the redemption
of that party-cursed metropolis has

American Union, as voiced by Governor

the County

Republican

Com-

mittee denounced him and proceeded to
read out of the party a number of those
who had been prominent in the movement directed against unworthy candidates. This line of action on the part of
{he managers of the county machine and
(&gt;f the minority of the territorial committee is the best of good fortune for the future of honest government in Hawaii.
The real animus of the Brown movement is slowly being made evident to the
infatuated throng that flocked to the polls
to save the party. The only way to save
a man or a party is to get rid of the evil
within either and not to crown it king.
Honolulans will realize this sooner or
later. Meantime the elements now in the
saddle in the county and anxious to grasp
the reins throughout the Territory are
likely to have their day. Let them raven
their prey, turn all the independent voters
out of the party, and make tin- work of
their own overthrow surer. Meantime it
is going to be no easy task to purify a
party so far out of the grasp of its best
elements.

and some time it is hoped that this forest

of our Territory's capital city. Cannot
the Civic Federation move in this emergency and secure such action by the family owning the trees, as well as by publictoirited citizens, as shall preserve this

This large accession to our working force
is made possible by the generosity of the
mainland churches through the grant in
aid of the American Missionary Association. As is told more fully on another
page, Mr. Thwing was able to save almost half of the expense of going to
China and return to recruit this re-enforcement by securing passports for the
evangelists free of charge. Thus at a
trifling added expense per individual, it
has been possible to secure this new band
of laborers as well as to establish close
connections with the work in China. Mr.
Thwing found that the influence of missionary effort in Hawaii for Chinese was
deeply affecting the life of many homeland communities. His visit has dispelled the opposition of missionaries on the
ground to the coming of well trained
reliable workers to this field. The trip
has paid in every way and has redemonstrated the fact that if our missionary,
endeavor is to tell most widely for good
it must be closely related to the great
work that is being pushed on the Asian
continent.
Every time investigation is
made it is found that tin- claim of I la-'

to the Christianization of Japan and
China is fully borne out. \Ve hope for

Thwing, setting forth the result of his
studies along this line in Southern China.

NEW CHINESE EVANGELISTS.
The work of securing Chinese teachers
and preachers was somewhat difficult and
prolonged. However, after five weeks of
much visiting and consulting with native preachers, and many calls on officials, the work was successfully accomplished. Four good men and one woman
Bible teacher were secured. It was
rather hard to gain the consent of the
missionaries in charge of these workers
to have them go, but after the claims of

seemed too much to pay. So I went to
the O. S. Consul General. He said he
would do his part, but could not help me
with the Chinese. I asked him for a letfter of introduction, so that I could go and
see the viceroy about it, who issues the
passports. But he said he could not do
that, and it was very hard to see a high
official. Well, I wanted to see him anyway, and said I would write my own letter. So I wrote, asking for an interview,
and sent the following letter:
Canton, April sth, 1905.
To His Excellency Tseu,
Viceroy of the Two Kwong.
Your Excellency: I have the honor to
request this interview with your Exceljlency, to confer in regard to the educational work in Hawaii. There are many
of your Excellency's subjects in these
islands, and some thousands of Chinese
children. The Board of the Hawaiian

Superintendent, feels a deep love for
your people. Indeed, "All within the

"All under

they have asked four of your Excellen&gt;cy's subjects, whose names are herewith,

Much to my surprise the Viceroy sent

me back a very polite letter, in a large

red envelope, saying that he would be
waiting to see me on the following day
at 10 a. m. Here was a fine chance.
A VISIT TO THE VICEROY.

The next day early, with the four Chinese preachers, we started out for the

Viceroy's yamen. There were five chairs,
each with three chair-bearers, making
quite a procession. We were met by the
Vicej-oy's secretary, and conducted into
the waiting room. He wished to find out
about the work in Hawaii and what was
being done there. After a little consultation he said: "All right; we will go and
see the Viceroy," and conducted me to
the official reception room.
Here the Viceroy met me at the door,
and we made our Chinese l&gt;ovvs and thep
he put out his hand to shake hands, quite
in Western style. He then asked me tp
sit down at a table, where tea. cakes and
fruit were set out. The Viceroy, who is

much surprised to find that I had visited
the Viceroy and secured the passports

tive military drill at Union Square, when
the banner was won by the Kamehameha
Preparatory Juniors. Their work would
have made the National "Guard step lively to hold their honors. Immediately
after the drill 400 boys assembled in the
Y. M. C. A. auditorium to listen to the
singing of Messrs. Butler and Hillis and
an inspiring talk by Dr. Ostrom.
Several of the clubs have been individually entertained at homes or club rooms
by the managers. Ice cream and cake
were the order of the day. One club
greatly enjoyed a Punch and Judy show.
We would advise just such occasional social gatherings. It forms a strong tie
to bind the hoys and leaders together.
THE FUTURE.

As we look into the future we can see
immense possibilities ahead. The only
way to realize them is to work upon the
capital we already have in hand. We
must—and we can —prove to the people
of these Islands that the Boys' Clubs are

a decided factor in the welfare and the

development of our Island boys. To do
this certain needs must be met.
NEEDS

THE CLUBS,

(i) Organization. Reformation must
begin within. We need a more thorough
organization within the clubs themselves.
More ought to be expected from our few
committees. A more careful enrollment
and the marking of absentees would create prestige. Anything that would develop a greater esprit d'corps would be
highly beneficial. A yell, colors, and perhaps a button, would help. A monthly
sheet, well edited and widely circulated,
would do much to interest and profit the
boys. Our clubs are designed for but one
purpose—to help boys. Therefore, the
more we can enter into a boy's life, the
more boys we can know and know well,
the harder it will be to fill our niche when
we step out.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

Our Central Executive Committee can

well stand for more organization. Strong
to

sub-committees, willing and anxious
work, ought to stand at the head of each
of our departments. Your Superintendent would be a member ex-officio of each
of these committees. At any special
stress he would feel that he had something tangible back of him.
THE PUBLIC.

Then this idea of organization—if this

is the word—must extend to the general
public. We must have a stronger backing by the citizens of Honolulu. To obtain this, we must first show them that
we are filling a vacuum in the boy life of
our streets. We have not yet reached

that place where the city is talking about
the good work being done by our clubs
to help the boys of Honolulu. That we
may reach this place we speak of our second need.
(2) Money. What are we giving the
boy for his moneys worth? Ah, you
say, it does not cost the boy anything. It
does. It costs him his time. With the
boy as well as with the man—Time is
money. We could have twenty-five instead of eleven strong Boys' Clubs in this
city if we had the proper equipment with
which to handle them. We have boys
enough and to spare. But among other
things boys' clubs, like a hundred other
philanthropic enterprises, need more
money. If our Government could better
make both ends meet financially, we
might receive some aid from them. The
maintenance of the Boys' Field would
certainly appeal to them. Last year the
New York Legislature passed a bill to
establish Boys' Clubs in New York City
at public expense. The bill was vetoed
by the mayor, not because he objected to
the clubs, but that he thought they ought
to be under the direction of the school authorities. Our schools and Government
ought, and will, stand hand in hand with
any work that helps the boys to a better
life and a higher manhood.
It is true that we are working largely
with and for neglected boys, but "a boy's
a boy for a' that," and they are equally
expeditious to discern good bait from a
bare hook. The one reason it has been
more difficult to hold the Kawaiahao
clubs than any others, is because they
have no proper games room —no adequate equipment.
A VISION

It is one thing to shut your eyes and
see what we ought to have, and quite
another thing to realize that dream.
visions and
Just now we are seeing ought
to be
dreaming dreams. There
two buildings in this city largely similar.
One we would call the Young Men's
Christian Association and one the Boys'
Club. In each of them we would have a
dormitory—several sleeping rooms for
homeless boys and unmarried young men.
This part of the Y. M. C. A. would be
self-supporting.
In each building we would have a neat
and tasty lunch room, where sandwiches
and light drinks could be served; a well-

equipped and roomy gymnasium; a games
room, with a billiard and pool table; a
library and reading room; an employment bureau ; a swimming pool; a bowling allley; a tennis court, and rooms fitted up for night classes. It is a significant fact that St. Elizabeth's has about
sixty Chinese young men every night in
English classes. Now if we had the required financial help we could remodel
the present Y. If, C. A. hall and in?ke
it into a Boys' Club, and then buiid .1
new Y. M. C. A. hall that would incorporate the above mentioned features and
that would be a pride and a blessing second to none in these needy Islands. That
there are young men in our city in need
of just such a Christian home environment is evidenced by the fact that one of
our lodges—and there are many—has 300
young men members and is steadily increasing. But our third need is more
vital and more difficult to realize than
either the need of organization or for
more money. It is the need of
and
(3) Men—consecrated men
women too, who see in every boy —regardless of clothes and skin—a great
heart, a noble-minded and public-spirited
citizen.

If we had such men as the Bishop of
Exeter describes at our backs the noble
work in which we are engaged would
never lack for laborers. We must appeal
to men's unselfishness. We want volunteer workers who will give at least one
night a week to boy life. Every possible
talent can be used in this work, whether

it be musical, recitative, athletic or that
of golden silence. Every club needs the
strong hand of a man to guide it, and
the quiet, cheerful influence of a woman
to mould it. The need is for men of
conviction—men who will not only inculcate purity of life and honesty of purpose
among the boys, but men who will leave
the stamp of a deeper desire to know Him
who is the Father of All.
It will never do to watch too eagerly
for results when working with boys. One
never knows just where to find the boy.

and the moral development of the boys
who are to be our future voters. Let the
boys be your fad. Talk boys! Believe
boys! work for boys! •
We regret that we have not been able
to have better gathered the loose threads
in the Boys' work; but as you know, we
have been handicapped by having a too
wide and scattered field of service.
We can not bring this annual report
to a close without a deep tribute of gnzitude to President Richards and Treasurer Castle for their untiring interest,
cheerful co-operation and faithful devotion in saving the boys of Honolulu.

CENTRAL UNION CHURCH.

was the parade of the Bible school chil-

dren of the city, when nearly two thousand boys and girls marched in line.
Some of our mainland cities have an annual Bible school parade. The singing,
the transparencies, the banners and the
speaking make a strong outward witness
to the power of the old gospel.
The annual Kamehameha Day picnic
on June 12th, brought together some
1200 boys and girls and grown-ups on
the Punahou campus.
The day was
spent in playing games of every description, from baseball to running three-legged races.
Fortunately there were no
serious accidents.
On Friday evening, June 23d, the
teachers of the Bible school met with
Miss Yarrow, at her home on Kinau
street, for a social hour and for the discussion of topics vital to the welfare of
the school. Mr. Merrill of Mills Institute
presented the subject of the Normal class,
and Mrs. Carlton introduced the topic
of Vacation Plans in Bible School Work.
One of the crying needs in Christian work
in our city is the organization and maintenance of a strong Normal class that
will prepare teachers for both the home
and the Mission schools of the city. All
our schools are continually needing
teachers, and the excuse in many cases
is, "We do not feel competent to take a
class." It is to be desired that the good
work begun in this line may be continued
during the coming year.
It is hoped that during the summer
months the schools of the city may be
kept up to a high degree of efficiency.
Perhaps three-fourths of our scholars remain in the city during the hot weather,
and since the devil does not take any appreciable vacation, during July and August our schools ought to be made more
attractive than ever to hold the boys and
girls.
A number of our faithful teachers have
gone away, some for the summer months
and some permanently. Their places
must be filled by others. Truly the fields
are white unto the harvest. Are all the
laborers at work?
The Training Class for the Young has
been discontinued for the summer. These
meetings have been very helpful and
some of the boys and girls are better able
now to give a reason for the hope that
is within them than they were before the
class was formed.

During the month of June sixty-five
persons were received into the membership of the Church.
A very impressive communion service
was held Sunday evening, June 4, when
twenty-three persons joined, composed
of the graduating class of Kamehameha
schools. Seven boys and sixteen girls.
We are proud of the Kamehameha young
people.
The regular communion was held Sunday morning, June 18, when forty-two
persons were received —five by letter and
thirty-seven on confession of faith.
We regret that Mrs. Mary Knight Hyde
severs her connection with the Church.
She requests a letter to the Church in
Ware, Mass., where she intends to reside.
Mrs. Hyde is a most efficient worker,
and it was mainly by her untiring efforts
that the Woman's Board of Missions has
become so great a factor in our city.
The Pastor intends remaining in the
city during the summer, taking his va- WAILUKU SOCIAL SETTLEMENT.
cation in October, as business calls him
A few weeks ago a very enjoyable afaway at that time.
Perhaps one of the most unique gath- ternoon was spent at the Workers' Home,
erings in the recent Ostrom meetings connected with the Alexander House, the

11

occasion being an afternoon tea for the
Chinese women. Twenty-one women
and sixteen children were gladly welcomed.
Last Monday evening (May 29) seventeen Chinese young men were also welcomed for social enjoyment.
Meetings have been held at different
Chinese homes for the women. Mr. Ah
Ling and Mr. Chung Leong have kindly
assisted.
A warm welcome was given
us, and an urgent request that we come
again.
The usual afternoon and evening class
work at the Alexander House has been
recently varied by several social events.
On one evening about eighty children
found ways of spending their nickels and
dimes at a children's sale. Upon another
occasion an audience of over a hundred
listened to a programme arranged by the
I lima Club, and were served light refreshments; our new coffee urn, the gift
of Miss Mary Alexander, being used for
the first time.
The young girls' S. S. class of the native church was entertained at the Settlement Residence on the afternoon of
May 15, and the men of the Japanese
evening school the following week. It is
with great pleasure that a class of the
Koreans has been welcomed for evening
English work. The results of the first
six lessons indicate quick and eager pupils.
Gifts have been received from the
Holden, Massachusetts, C. E. Society, of
which the Settlement worker is an exmember, and from Mrs. H. A. Gay, who
was with us last year.
Many families have received calls during the past weeks. A record of people
coming to the
more or less regularly
Alexander Home, kept from May 22 to
June 16, shows an enrollment of 189 different people, chiefly under eighteen years
of age. The total attendance, excluding
the social occasions above mentioned, is
669, the average for the afternoons being
thirteen, that for evenings eighteen.
Although the vacation proper began
with that of the Government schools, by
the choice of the worker, the Alexander
House will be opened evenings for two
additional weeks, and perhaps occasionally, during her absence from town, by
the kindness of Mrs. Way, who has given
assistance to the Settlement work while
a temporary member of the family. The
mothers of the Hawaiian children have
been invited for afternoon tea June 21,
and several Japanese women for the following evening, when our good-byes must
be said to Mrs. Tanaka. The ladies of
the settlement will be at home to all their
friends the afternoon of Monday, June

ly helped, but those who gave up
their time, night after night, to do personal work or sing in the choir, or to help
by their constant prayerful presence,
gained a deeper conception of our Father's power to answer prayer and to
draw all to Him than the others could
realize. They tried to help others and
found, in turn, abundant help for themselves.
In a certain evangelical church in Honolulu there are, in round numbers, one
hundred members. At one meeting there
were forty-five of the one hundred there,
and at no time were there fewer than nineteen members present at any one meeting.
With forty-five ]&gt;er cent, of the entire church membership present at one
evangelical meeting, and all of these enrolled in C. E, work, can we marvel at
the deeper consecration of the young people, of the full, heart-to-heart prayer
meetings, and of the swelling of the Endeavor ranks?
In the other churches, too, the newspirit of consecration has been noticed.
The prayer meetings have been larger
and more fervent, and more young people have participated in them than heretofore. Many in the churches have taken
a firm stand for the Master, and those
already Christians have felt a fresh spirit

Average daily attendance for the past
nine and a half months in the Kindergarten was 46, some month's attendance being as high as 57, and an enrollment of
80 children.
During the year five mothers' meetings were held, including closing exercises at Christmas and June.
On the sixteenth day of June all the
children sat down to tables spread in
white to enjoy their cake and lemonade.
It was a pretty sight. But as there will
be some changes in the Kindergarten
next year on account of promotions and
the going away of a number of children,
the (lay had its sad side as well.
It has been the aim of the Kindergartener to visit every child's home at least
once a month. Many months the visits
have been more frccpient in special cases.

THE EZERA CASE.
At its spring meeting the Association of the Island of Oahu appointed
Revs. E. S. Timoteo, H. Manase, W.
N. Lono, O. H. Gulick and D. Scudder
to investigate the case of Rev. J. M.
Ezera, who had left his church at Ewa,
and was reported to be teaching a form
of spiritism and leading astray members of several churches. Subsequent to
the meeting of the Territorial Association the Oahu Association met and listened to the report of the committee,
which reported facts both elicited by
testimony and known to all through
the public press, together with the refusal of Mr. Ezera to meet the committee before October, and his admission of his arrest and of his being under bonds. The Association unanimously voted that he be deposed from
the ministry.
