~ EXPERIMENT BETTER THAN
APATHY.

The discussion of the Act to Mitigate,
held before the House Committee Fri
day afternoon, brought out little that
was new in connection with the social
evil of this country. The old argu-
ments of the moral influence and the
sanitary necessity were brought up
Each is unanswerable in its way, and
yet, when it comes to the point of de-
Gliding what to do about it, the same
collision and consequent deadlock oc-
ours. The moral advocate recognizes
the force of the sanitary arguments,
and vice versa. There the matter stands
and nothing is done.
But this state of affairs should not
exist from year to year, as it has in the
past. To stand still in this age is sim.

time has come when the people of the
country, and particularly Honolulu
have reached the decision that some
thing should be done, though it may be
in the nature of an experiment. Ad-
hitting that prostitution under sort of
semi-license has been a necessary evil,
the country is now faced with a new
condition-an alarming and unusual in
crease. Putting aside all questions of
right or wrong in the past, the Act to
Mitigate has proven Intellectual in keep
ing the evil within bounds. We are
facing a new situation as a result of a
large influex of men and women from
the Orient who are absolutely devoid of
any thought of the moral phase of their
devilish trade. The aboriginal race has
more delicacy in the matter than the
unfortunate japanese women of the
lower classes that are brought to our
shores.
Recognizing the fact that the law
tends to decrease disease, is this coun-
try in a position to harbor-as it is
doing today-a class of men living on
the earnings of unchaste women? We
are facing a new condition which is
troubling the Board of Health and other

Mr.. Dillingham's review of the loan
question is a strong plea for progression
in our financial affairs, as against the
inactivity resulting from letting the
matter wait till more convenient sea
son. The damper placed by business
men upon certain features of Minister
Damons bill should by no means put
an end to the movement for consolidat-
ing the public loan. The plea Of waiting
for annexation is indicative of weak
ness in the conduct of our internal af-
fairs which the country has no need
and ought not to admit. 1t is always
well TO hope for the best, and at the
same time prepare for the worst. This
country of undeveloped resources can
not afford to bank too heavily on aprob-
ability. It must continue a progressive
internal policy from which it will reap
a benefit under any circumstances and
a still greater return in event of annex
alton. With slight change in the terms
on which the loan is to be floated, it is
certainly for the country's best good to
bring about the consolidation of its
debt at the earliest possible day. Give
the fnanciers of every country an OPP
portunity TO invest, and let it go to the
lowest bidder.

The statement of Theo. H Davies re-
garding the political status of Kaiulan
comes as final proof of the wisdom Of
the Government in granting pension
to the young lady who was at one time
looked upon as the guardian of our ma
tional destinies. The only unfortunate
feature is that Mr.. Davies should with
hold his statement till a time when it
is settled beyond question that Kaiulani
will not be elevated to the highest po-
sition in the land, whether she desires
it or not 1t is possible that the Gov
eminent has been cognizant of the facts
now made public, but the people have
not. Adverse criticism has been passed
accordingly. Certain it is that the sup
porters and officials of the Republic
bear Kaiulani no i'll will, and even in
the case of the ex-Queen they would
have been ready to grant the same rec
ognition had it not been for the po-
liticai intrigues of last year. The Re-
public of Hawaii has come to stay until
it is absorbed by the American Republic.
and those who lost their claim upon |
high Official station by virtue of the |
overthrow will be given due recognition |
and respect in so far as they remain |
free from alliances which jeopardize |
the stability of our political system.
1t appears that Mr.. Davies was mis-
taken in his opinions of what was the
most hopeful means of securing peace
for Hawaii; but he followed the die
tates of his conscience, which is in
keeping with good republicanism, and
we shall now expect that Mr.. Davies,
Kaiulani and their followers will fall
into line with the new form of Govern
nent, joining forces to strengthen and
advance the moral, political and indus
rial interests of the Republic of Ha-
vail. Hearty cooperation in the flu
.ure is the only way to wipe away I'M
pleasant features of the past.

problem.
If we must pander to an evil, let us a
least keep it within bounds, and al
least prevent its being flashed in the
faces of people upon the public thor.
oughfares. If the efficacy of the law as
a sanitary measure must be taken into
account then let those who are reached
by the law be huddled together in some
section of the city, so that the fire.
quenters of the place will be obliged to
face the additional danger OF social
condemnation. The country will merit
more respect by facing the matter
squarely than by getting around it by
law that bears the name of being un-
constitutional and Intellectual.
1t has been remarked that the re-
ligious workers should stamp out the
evil by touching up the moral senti-
ment. But what barrier they have to
face in the administration of a law
upheld by an Anglo-Saxon, Christian
Government, and that must be criti-
cised, if not condemned, from the out
set.
Does the sanitary protection which
the law gives Offset the influence for
loose morals which it must in time ex1
ert upon the rising generation? No ar
gument yet advanced has successfully
proved it, Put and honest law upon the
statute books, not declaration that is |
a shame-faced admission that we do not |
want law under which the courts can |
take a hand in dealing with the moral |
conditions of the lower classes. If there
must be license, then license and seq

worker, and let those who will defyi
moral and statute law take the conse-
uences.

lulu and discover their mistake. The
Hilo resolutions were entirely unneces-
sary and uncalled for. and no one viii
realize IL better than the people who
voted to forward the document to the
Legislature, the Executive and the
press. There are numerous unneces-
sary and exasperating features about
the whole affair, but the Legislature
will gain nothing by duplicating some
of the injudicious features. Virtue is
its own reward, and the virtue in this
instance is so clearly beyond question
that the best thing for the Legislature
to do is to continue to saw wood, keep
quiet, and let facts speak for them
selves. The full force of the Hilo mis-
take will be impressed upon the authors
by such course, while hitting back
with counter resolutions will stir up a

VIRTUE IT'S OWN REWARD.

If the Senate follows out the prece-
dent established by the adoption of the
resolution censuring the action of Hilo
citizens. the only thing to be done with
the Portuguese petition or any similar
public offering is to announce that the
matter is under consideration and will
be acted upon without the assistance of
outside interference. The resolutions
passed by the Senate SAVIOR too much
of meddIing with the right of petition.
The best form of censure the parties
connected with the Hilo Indignation
meeting can receive is for the special
committee sent to Honolulu to go back
and inform their brethren how utterly
groundless their suggestions regarding
proposed legislation have been. We fail
to conceive wherein the Hilo resolu-
tions are an attempt at intimidation.
An erroneous idea seems to have gained
foothold in Hilo, that Hawaii has been
forgotten in the Legislative delibera-
tions, and we know of no better way of

A DAMrER ON PROGRESS.

another example of public cheese
pairing policy was displayed in the
House on Monday, when, following the
| recommendation of the committee, the
members voted to strike out the appro-
priation of $1,000 for a general ap-
praiser in the customs department. The
only excuse given for the action was
that there are enough appraisers in the
country already, and the business of the
customs department can be done with
reasonable thoroughness by the present
force. And, strange to say, the oppo-
sition to this item has centered among
the roads and bridges" members, who
are, or ought TO be, seeking an increas-
ed revenue.
This is simply another instance of
Gripping department in order to carry
out mistaken idea of public economy.
The record of the past year has clearly
shown that the Improvements already
made have not only served to protect
the honest merchants of the country,
but have also increased the revenues
from the customs department suffici-
emily to pay the expenses of the ap-
praiser's Office and leave good margin
to go toward the general expenses of
the Government. The House of Repre-
sentatives now take it upon themselves
to state that this improvement has gone
far enough, practically putting them
selves on record as against a measure
that will create higher degree of eff
ficiency in a department that furnishes
a large proportion of the national in
come.
There is quite as much sense in main
tanning that bride path is just as eff
fective in opening up the country dis
tricts as macadamized road. But,
our public economists will say, expert
ence has shown, and everybody with
common sense knows, that good roads
will bring more money into the country
by enhancing the value of land and in
creasing the revenue from property
tax" Most certainly this is accepted,
and on the other hand experience has
shown, and everybody with common
sense knows, that with more experts
in the appraisers department. smaller
percentage of imports will escape the
import tax, and in consequence the Gov
eminent will be supplied with more
funds for public improvements.
If the members of the House keep on
at the rate they are going, they will
furnish good example of the man who
cut off his nose to spite his face. Be
ginning with slap at the Department
of Public Works, they have now struck
an arm that furnishes fuel to propel
the very schemes for public improve
ments which the people of this country
are universally DESTROYS of setting in
