Senator Hoar is in fair way to
once more establish his right to the
title of "the conscience of the Re-

ign conquest, of the suppression of

peoples by force. His cry is distaste-
full to the imperialists and traitor

1t was a sad sight this morning
when Chinese men, women aud chill
dren were taken from the Nuuanu
blocks makai of Hotel street and
sent to the Kalhi detention camp
to remain there while their homes
are being placed in what the Board
of Health calls sanitary condition.
We think il was a very bad policy
on behalf OF the authorities to select
the great Chinese holiday for the
purpose of removing these poor peo-
pie. The women were crying, the
poor little children were bewildered
and scared and the men were angry.
Vice Consul Goo Kim was there and
tried his best to allay the fear of the
women and the anger of the men.
The intention was to march these
people, who all belong to the re-
spectacle shop keeping class to the
railroad depot, but finally they were
permitted to use hacks, paying their
own fare. There hasn't been sin
gle case in the blocks from which
these people were taken and there
are certainly numerous buildings in
Honolulu in worse sanitary condi-
tion than those in those blocks. 1t
seems to US that there is an inclina-
tion on the part of the authorities
to stub it in" on the Chinese. The
Chinese have a great amount OF

patience, but they have also very
good memory as future events may
show. We are not criticizing the
general policy OF the authorities but
we cannot help condemnlng the
utter lack of fact and consideration
for the sufferers displayed in carry
ing out the policy.

1t is easy enough for few men
clothed with brief authority to con-
denim and burn buildings on the
plea of placing the town in sani-
tary condition. The taxpayers how
ever would like to know who are to
pay for the condemned property
and whether the injured people will
be compensated for the loss. 1t is
a problem of far more Importance
and far more difficult to solve than
the question of whether Ballou is to
be appointed Federal Judge and Sc.
