Judge Perry has taken strong ground
on the license question. The case will
now go before the supreme court and a
final judgment be put upon it. There
was an effort made last legislature to
give a local option to tax payers in a
district, to say whether a license should
be granted or not. But Honolulu was
by no means ready for local option, did
not want it and would not have it. The
Government wanted all the power In
the hands of the Minister of the Inte-
rioP. The tax payers were afraid about
the Indebtedness of local boundaries,
which was mere clubbing, and they
were afraid that the richer tax payers
might be out voted by the poorer which
was the truth, and so the proposal fell
to the ground. But had that been made
law, the present status of the case
would have been very different to what
it is now.

THE PORTUGUESE

The Voz Publica, a Portuguese paper,
published in Hilo gives some very in
teresting information about the colony.
The bulk of the Portuguese resident on
the Hawaiian Islands came here as con-
tract laborers in the early eighties.
Having worked out their contracts they
have gone into various lines of business,
and some of them have done remark
ably well, while others have remained
laborers, but commanding far higher
wages than what they came out for. 1t
is really interesting to study the Portu-
guese colony, and the more so, as it
shows the development of set CT peo-
pie who came to- the country as con-
tract laborers. Part of the information
is taken from Government statistics
and part from the statement Of the
Portuguese paper mentioned.
There were at the last census 1871
Portuguese They increase at the rate
of about 3 per cent per annum, so that
the Portuguese population at the pres
ent time punber about 10000. But let

Every portion of the United States
marks the day when it became an inte-
grail portion of the Great Republic. The
4th of July marks the birthday of the
nation. The birthday of each particular
territory and state, outside of the orig
inal thirteen is as important locally as
the 4th is nationally. 1t would show a
very poor American spirit in Hawaii, if
the 18th of August, the day that the
stars and stripes fioated finally above
our heads, We're to be allowed to pass
unnoticed The 18th of August is the
day when Hawaii entered upon a high
er plane than she had ever occupied. 1t
will be a day upon which our posterity
will look with pride and which every
anneXationist who has an American
heart, marks, as the Roman did his
most suspicious days, with a milk
white stone.

Deputy Marshal Chillingworth is do
ing good work in breaking up the gangs
of hoodlums about Palama. Perhaps if
the Government would carry out the or
ders of the Legislature and let the peo-
pie have the use of River park, some
other means of reforming these unfor-
tunate youngsters might be adopted
than the club and the prison cell. A
city is to blame for it's own youthful
criminals, and the hoodlum type soon
runs into the criminal. The social work
which is planned for the park by a few
earnest men and women will be of In
calculable benefit. The burden for not
carrying it forward rests upon the Gov
eminent, which prefers to listen to the
advice of dilatory and obstinate off,
cial, rather than lend helping hand to
the hoodlum element of the city. There
will be a day of reckoning sometime.
Consciences cannot sleep forever and
the time must come when those in au-
thorty will recognize that they are fos-
tering future crime, instead of
strengthening the hands of willing
workers, who would only too gladly do
their best to uplift instead of treading
down. The moral responsibility of GER
tain people is very grave.

yincing theory with regard to volcanic
phenomena. There are two main schools,
the molten globe theorists, of which w.
l.. Green was a follower, and the pres
sure theorists, of which Malet was an
exponent. Any man who devotes his
attention to the subject, and upon care

Lyons sun spot theory is one will worth
consideration. OF course the profess
sional jester, has to shake his bells, de-
liver his inane laugh, and cut his feeble
joke. But that may be regarded as a
compliment from folly to wisdom.

We call attention to an article in
this issue of the paper written by
Col. r. B. Davis, bearing upon the
proposed constitutional amendment
Col. Davis is a Populist who, with
the pr, sent lights before him is OPP
posed to the amendment, and will
follow up this article with others
giving his objections more in detail.
In as much as Col. Davis is a very
strong and vigorous writer, his ar
ticle will be looked for with interest.

politics to regulate the suffrage ques.
ton and in as much as it Is not one
of the great principles of the party
upon which every member of the

lists who desire to express thei
views upon the subject. In this wa,

myself within the limit which you
