1t would not be easy to improve
on the wording of these citations, in
stating the prevailing legal senti-
ment of the civilized world on this
question.
This position is supported by Wal
hee Plantation VS.. Kalapu g Haw.,
100; Drier VS.. Kuaa ct al. a Haw.,
534J, and In re Clip All Chan e Haw.,
25).
In Drier vs.. Kuaa ct al, the Court
say: (p. $685. "We cannot direct the
defendants labor on this plantation
for he (Drier) has no interest in it,
there is no privity of contract be-
tween these laborers and the owner
of the Koloa Sugar Company, and
therefore the defendants cannot be
compelled to work on this planta-
ton"
The case of Clip All Chan was
tried in Chambers before Mr.. Justice
Hartwell in 1870, and his decision
contains the following language:
(p. Al.
do not regard that contract is
enforceable under this penal statute,
and within its meaning, unless it is
in writing, designating the parties
either by name or in such manner
that they can be ascertained precise
ly at the date of the contract. It is
unnecessary to comment on the wis
dom of statute restricting the en-
forcement by penal servitude of con-
tract for labor, to those which are
made in writing with another, or
with firm; or on considerations
which might arise on a law which
allowed the penal enforcement Of
contracts between parties not named
contract"
The liberty of choosing ones own
employer, is undoubtedly within the
inalienable rights guaranteed to call
men" by Article 1st of the Constitu-
ton. How then can one alien
dispose of such liberty? A contract
waving this right is inconsistent
with this great provision of the Con-
stitution and is therefore illegal and
void. This is what the contract be-
fore US distinctly does.
1 am also of the opinion that the
instrument requires to be stamped.
This requirement is clearly set forth
In the statutes, and no exception is
made. Chapter IS of the Laws Of
1876 requires this and provides that
mo instrument requiring to be
stamped shall r be of any
validity in any Court of this King
dom unless the same shall be prop
erly stamped" (Section 81 and
Chapter 80 of the Laws of 1886 pro
vides that any agent to take acknow
! Judgements of contracts, "who shall
certify to the acknowledgment OF
any contract not fully stamped shall
be liable to a fine" of fifty dollars.
The argument of plaintiffs coun
sci that the Government being the
, employer would have to pay for the
stamps, and therefore the Stamp
Act does not apply to this contract
! is not convincing to my mind. lr
fact, the Government is not the EN-
: ployer nor does the contract pretend
that such is the case. The Govern
ment has no work for these men, nc
! plantations upon which to employ
3 them; it is merely the channe
through which the laborer reaches III
r employer. The contract is inchoate
3 by its terms until it has been supple
mented by the endorsement which
] provides an employer, and he by
, law is liable to the stamp duty.

fuence of electric light on growing
plants and flowers, during the
night. In some instances it is said
to have been very marked. A cor

A TARGET FOR THE TEMPEST,

Does It seem discreet to construct
a wind-motor of wood, such weak,
perishable material, when it is de-
signedly held aloft in the most ex-
posed position and compelled to face
every storm?
It's mission is to be out in all
weather and endure all exposures.
1t should, therefore, be made of the
most enduring and the strongest
materials, and aside from the work.
ing sails, present the least possible
surface to the grasp of the tempest.
Where lightness is so important
and weight so detrimental as in a
windmill, it is an error to add weight
where strength can be more effectu-
ally gained by using stronger mate
rial.
The manufacturers of the Aermotor
make the sails, bands and arms
of the wheels of steel. Other parts
requiring strength are made of the
same material.
The history of one farm machine
is the history of all. The huge four
horse wooden reaper became the
compact two-horse self-rake reaper
of greater efficiency. The unwieldly,
wood frame, four self binding
harvester that broke of its own
weight, has given place to the snug,
trim, ight-steel, two-horse machine.
In each case it is lighter machine
doing more and better work with
less power. The great, clumsy,
wooden hulk of windmill, the
target OF every tempest, suffering
more exposure and used more hours
OF the day than any other farm tool
will as surely make way for the
smaller, more compact and more
efficient steel Aermotor sold by the
Hawaiian Hardware Company.
Like unto the wife who halves
your sorrows and doubles your joys,
a geared Aermotor and its attach
ments will do one half more work
and cost less than one-half the price
of the old style wooden outfit dong
less work. Less than one-half the
space is used and double the room is
left in the barn. The weight is less
than half that of wooden outfits con-
sequently freight charges less than
one. hall.
Like the steamer that sets out on
journey while sail boats wait for
wind and tide, the Aermotor works
while other windmilis stand idle
waiting for wind. An expert me-
chanic is not required to set up this
outfit, anyone can place it in posi-
ton. 1t costs about the price of one
horse and will do the work of four.
Like interest, it works while you
sleep, it neither gets tired or eats
oats.

OPINION OF THE COURT BY JUDD, c. J.
This is submission of matter in
controversy without action accord
ing to the provisions of Section lao
OF tho Civil Code. 1t is in the fol-
lowing words:
The undersigned Mioshi, a jap
anese by birth, and the Hilo Sugar

that they are parties to question in
difference which might be the sub
ject of a civil action. That they
have agreed upon a case containing
the facts upon which said contro-
versy depends which are as follows:
1. That said Hilo Sugar Company
is a Hawaiian corporation doing
business in the District of Hilo,
Island of Hawaii.
2. That said Mioshi is serving the
Hilo Sugar Company under an in
strument in writing signed in japan
by said Mioshi and r. w. Irwin, the
duly authorized agent of the Board
OF Immigration of the Hawaiian
Kingdom, copy of which said con
tract is hereunto annexed and made
a part hereof marked Exhibit GA"
3. That in pursuance of said in
strument said Mioshi proceeded
from japan to Honolulu, and upon
his arrival in the Hawaiian King
dom, was directed by the Board OF
Immigration to work for the Hilo
Sugar Company.

thereof went to work for the Hilc
Sugar Company in the month oil
February, A. D. 1889, and has ever
since continued to work for sale
company under the terms of sale
instrument.
5. That said Mioshi now contends
that he cannot be compelled to serve
said Hilo Sugar Company under
said contract for the following
reasons:
Q) That he is unwilling to worl
for said Hilo Sugar Company, anC
such involuntary servitude is pro
hibited by the Constitution.
