In the dispensation of popular JUS

Humphreys and Sillimau with rail-
roading judgeship in favor OF George

biased weighing OF facts that charae
terixes the spirit OF fairness toward all
men. Judge Siilimau Is acting fully
within his rights aud privileges when
he suggests q preference for his sue
eessor. Judge Humphreys. Judge CAL
orsith or any other judge would csr-
tainly be At rauit. II not untrue TO their
trust. II they tailed To take q personal
interest In the character OF the men

territory. Furthermore. the support
Mr.. Gear receives from the members of
the bar is OF Itself sufficient evidence

charge that q iudgeship is being rail-
roaded.'
As one Of the younger attorneys Of

a record that cannot be impeache0,

or his regard for the ethics and Dig

DOG IN THE MANaER POLICY.

The action OF the property owners
az Pearl Harbor Is not only 10 be re-
grstted but deserves the severest con-
demnation by every citizen who wishes
for the welfare OF Honolulu and hopes
to see this city become the great me-
tropolis OF the Pacific that Nature des-
tined her 10 BE-
To raise the price OF land to an eIor-
hitant figure simply because the gov
eminent wants II is un-American. IN
Just and most un-patriotic. Noone wants
any owner OF property al Pearl Harbor
TO make sacrifice OF his property 70:
the benefit OF Uncle Sam. nor does the
United States government want any
thing OF the kind. The government is
always ready and willing to pay reA-
sonable price for any property il wants,
but the government never has and
never viii submit TO e1tortion at the
hands OF private property owners any
more than 1t will submit 10 dishonest
methods on the part OF any Of It's Off
cials. The government will not pay
5000 an acre for land which Ia only
assessed at few cents over IS an acre.
Nor will It pay 1900 an acre for land
OF an Island that Is worth at the most,
as it stands today, about $40 an acre.
As pointed out in the news columns
OF The Republican today, the citizens
of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and
Boston, presented land to the
government for the enlargement
OF the naval stations in those cities. A
number of cities in the interior have
presented land to the government for
the establishment Of military posts.
The owners OF North Island, Coronado
Beach, San Diego, California, the little
sand island between San Diego bay and
the ocean, presented nearly 1000 acres
OF land to the government In consider
mental post there. The citizens Of
Denver, Colorado, presented the gov
ernment beautiful tract OF land Of
over six hundred acres just on the out
skirts of South Denver for the estab-
lishment of a regimental post there,
which is now known as Fort Logan.
The citizens OF Helena, Montana, did
the same thing for the establishment
of resimental post there. The land
near Chicago on which the military
post known as Fort Sheridan is located
was presented to the government for
the sake Of having a military post es-
tablished there. And so We might go
on citing instance after instance OF
this kind.
Is it TO go out over the Union that
the people of Hawaii and Honolulu
are SO wanting in civic pride and SO
selfish that they stand in the way Of
Pearl Harbor being made one OF the
prettiest naval stations in the world?
Is Honolulu to be kept in the back
seat of the march of progress and cut
OF from the benefits of having great
naval station at her door simply oe-
cause q few land owners are deter
mined TO hold up the government?
For shame that such a state of affairs
should be permitted to exist.

affords an additional assurance OF the
fact that made no mistake in endors-

effort to do SO; indeed, l did mention
the matter TO several people, and the
fact that ii is now known that the res
ignation was sent TO Washington ten

was not kept secret. But there is 4
precedent here-eminent authority
for just such secrecy. Didn't President

Song Of the Soldier at Sea.

Blow, winds. and drive our vessel on
Across the shining blue,
4 thousand souls are IN your hands
And trust their hopes To you
Wreck not with tempest as We speed
To distant foreign lands;
We go TO rescue and lift up
Downtrodden, helpless bands.
Keep. ship, our hearts from out the
deep,
The flag keep floating high,
Until within the harbor's calm
Its starry folds shall ny;
seve one and all from useless death
10 do brave deeds and great.
Which not in doing. be it known,
Do We petition fate.
And if, perchance, We should return
Unto our homes again,
Let each one wear upon his breast
The badge OF gallant men,
Who only came because their lives
The altars voted free,
TO keep alive the old disdain
For chains and tyranny.
