The appointment of E. G. Hitch
cock as Circuit Judge was predicted
in our paper several weeks ago. The
appointment will be met with salts
by all residents of the big island.
There were many applicants for the
important Office. Only two could
be considered for a moment Mr..
Wilder and Mr.. Hitchcock were the
only possible candidates. The Gov
ernment followed the ordinary rules
OF promotion and Mr.. Hitchcock,
who holds the seniority as lawyer
and an official wss appointed.
The appointment OF Mr.. L. a. An
drews to be Sheriff OF Hawaii was
astonishing. Hawaii has plainly
said that the men to fill public posi-
tions on the island should be select
ed from among the kamesinas Of
the place. We congratulate Maui
on getting rid of MIR. Andrews, who
is extremely unpopular on that ISL
and, but who has made very good
thing, financially, as chief OF the
police, Of the road board, and as an
all-round autocrat. We sympathize
with our friends oa Hawaii who now
have to put up with w, O. Smiths
favorite pet.
The fine "Italan hand" Of Henry
Baldwin is very plain indeed. He
has no use for Andrews, and his
transfer to Hawaii will suit the king
of Maui The nephew OF Baldwin
temporarily holding tho SherilIs
Office OF Kauai will now administer
public business in his uncle's king
dom. Mr.. Baldwin, the Sheriff, is
an excellent young man. He is as
much fitted for the Office 10 which
Mr.. w. o. Smith has called him as
are the Wailuku baseball team 10

The lawyers Of Maui, however, will

The most influential citizsns Of
Kauai want Coney as Sheriff. Can
Mr.. W. o. Smiths regime afford to
insult and offend every island in the
groupi Coney will be acceptable
to the people, and we have no doubt
will prove himself competent and
honest official if appointed. Many
friends can eb gained for our wise
rulers by listening to public senti-
ment, and many enemies can be
created by closing the official ears
to the will OF the people.

The Christian Endcavor rally held in
CALVARY Baptist Church last evening was
well attended, despite the very hot
weather The services were opened with
the singing of a number of Christian En-
dcaycr hymns. An address of welcome was
made by T. H. H. Messenger OF the Calvary
Baptist Society.
Al excellent address was made by the
Rev. W. L. S. Murray, d. D., who gave a
graphic account of the recent Christian En-
deayor convention in Washington. He con-
cluded by telling of the different cups of
the Christian Endeayor Society. He EMU
merated them as look up. lift up, get up,
pay up and shut up.
The Rev. Thomas ]. Mason of the Re-
formed Episcopal Church of the Redeemer,
was the next speaker. He said that it would
be impossible TO properly describe the re-
cent convention held in Washington. He
urged the society to do greater work and to
push it forward wherever possible.
The Rev. Thomas A. McCurdy, d. D., of
Central Presbyterian Church, was the third
speaker. He spoke of Loyalty" and held
the attention of his audience for thirty
minutes. He urged the members of the
society to be loyal to their work.
