A fractured 1911 column argues over population growth in Honolulu, immigrant issues, and public policy. It cites plans for a Territorial commission, debates on governance, protectionism, and the impact of German residents, while touching on waterworks and local business prospects amid urban expansion.
A letter argues Governor Frear should curb territorial control by abolishing the Public Works Department’s local duties. It urges transferring waterworks, school construction, and building decisions to county offices to save money and reduce duplicative bureaucracy. The piece labels the move a long-advocated reform.
The piece discusses commission government and recall, noting a missing emphasis on a key feature of this system as adopted by mainland municipalities. It references recall and referendums and mentions Supervisors under this framework as a real factor in success or failure.
The text argues against absolute local control and supports recall as a keystone of representative government. It contends that without recall elections, commissioners may abuse power and extract taxes for two years. It challenges Territorial officials to back a system including referendum and recall to ensure honest governance. The piece ends with a political bulletin note.
The president and executive officer of the Territorial Board of Agriculture resigns, Governor Campbell weighing salaried leadership. Campbell Low proposes staffing changes to ensure full-time executive service and continued oversight.
A town committee urges state aid and local improvements. They back plans to attract tourism, erect facilities at little expense, remove nuisance telephone poles, and push renovations before the legislative session. The excursion fundraiser and Portland example are cited as influencing factors.
An Eastern booster touts a Chinese booth at the Kirmess in Honolulu, promising exotic displays. He describes a garden with Chinese wares, tea packs, a dragon motif entrance, and a Chinese wedding procession as attendees tour the fair.
Zelaya states in a letter to his son Alfonsoy from Belgium that he plans to sail for New York within weeks.

He says he misses his homeland and longs to live among his people again.
