JUDGE HUMPHREYS.

IL Is a we'll known fact that Abram
8. Humphreys did not have the support
of the Advertiser in attaining the posi-
ton of Circuit Judge. His knowledge
and ability as a lawyer were and are
conceded, but regardless of other quail
ifications or disqualifications his dis
cretion and judicial temperament were
doubted. At the same time once APP
pointed, this paper was willing TO give
the gentleman due credit for all there
was In him which time and events
might bring forth
Judge Humphreys has now presided
on the bench for few days. This IS
not ordinarily sufficient to measure a
new magistrates work or capability,
but the large share of public thought
and conversation stimulated by Judge
Humphreys during the past week has
caused some conclusions to be reached.
To his credit be IL said that he Is
prompt and Industrious. but in all
friendliness the Advertiser is bound to
say that the Judge has neither added
TO his own reputation nor 10 the dig
nifty OF the bench by his official con-
duct. The adventures of Attorney
Davis and ex-Editor Marshall have
heretofore afforded the town mild
tonic from time to time and prevented
mildew from gathering on the repor-
torial desks. but Judge Humphreys has
eclipsed these lesser lights by furnish
ing sensations In such numerous and
varied forms as to leave little room for
competition.
Sensationalism is in its proper place
on the melodramatic stage, where ii
can be bought and paid for by those
who want 1t. In the public press 1t car
be avoided by those who do not like
sui ri i.y letting the paper alone
which INDUCES in it. Sensationalism Is
wholly out of place on the bench and is
offensive to the many citizens who are
compelled to come in contact with 1t.
Judge Humphreys ex parte attacks
on the High Sheriff and on DR.. Her.
bert, under cover of a charge to the
grand jury. are unjust to those gentle
men and not calculated to increase
public respect for the bench.
His arbitrary treatment of suitors by
Diminishing their cases entirely because
the attorneys were not on hand at the
drop Of the hat Is not justice but the
height of injustice.
Furnishing sensations, marrying at.
torneys. filming court attendants fol
contempt, and ignoring long establish.
ed rules of procedure. have not hereto
fore been found necessary to the or
derby progress of justice in Hawaii, mol
Is 1t what Judge Humphreys is being
paid for.
With his ability and education Judg,
Humphreys has 1t entirely within hi.
power to carve out what record he will
for himself. but IL the record is to b,
that Of wise and successful magis
trate, 1t must be wrought with patience
dignity and due regard for the rights
and feelings of others.

The Daily Humphreys states that the
Advertiser. while pretending to give
all of the charge of Judge Humphreys
to the Grand Jury. "tabooed' the part
which refers to the Insane Asylum
because 1t reflected on the family
compact" Far be 1t from the Adver-
tiser to omit any part of Judge Hum
phreys' numerous charges They are
too entertaining. In the present case
we published all that the Judge sup
piled us with, as an inspection OF the
Ms, which is preserved at this ONCE,
will show. How the paragraph about
the Asylum came to be omitted Is
matter for Judge Humphreys and not
the Advertiser to explain. Possibly
the Judge wanted his paper to score
beat in it's single news speciality.

BETTER SAFEGUARDS WANTED

The increasing number of idle and
iawless Japanese in these Islands does
not. as yet, menace the peace and or
der OF the group but things are grad
ually tending that way. Since the con-
tract labor law was deprived of its
self-enforcing attribute. more and
more japanese have left the cane fields
and are leading the lives of tramps or
petty criminals in all the towns of the
country. The number that has come to
Honolulu and Hilo is known to be
large. These coolies sleep anywhere
they happen to be and exc out the
slender subsistence which suffices for
them In variety of ways including
blackmail of their prosperous country
men. Pilfering goes on all the time
and as the coolies take courage from
the inability Of the well-to-do to pro-
tect themselves they become bold and
overbearing. In their strikes they do
not hesitate at violence; who shall say
that they will always keep the peace
when they are trying to live without
work on the communities on which
they have forced themselves. They
are known to be the dregs of their
country and In all moral and physical
respects they are the sort OF people to
create q dangerous class. Considering
their numbers they assuredly need to
be watched and in the meantime dis
ciplined so far as the law will permit.
The wisdom Of such a course is clear
enough now but it will be clearer yet
II the planters begin to bring in class
OF Iaborers with whom to permanently
offset or supersede the coolies from the
Orient.
1t seems to the Advertiser that a
place so inhammable in its social or
ganization as Hawaii deserves more
Federal protection than 1t gets. Here
are q few little colonies OF Americans
and other whites surrounded by what?

PLANS DEVELOPING.
Chicago and Alton and Kansas city
Southern Getting Together.

Ii was announced in The Republic last
Saturday that stuart II. Knott, at present
vice president of the Plant system. was
destined to play an important part soon IN
the active management of lines controlled
by the Hartman syndicate on July 10 he
will become vice president Ot the thicaso
and Alton and IL is expected Will be given
general charge at once of all traffic matters
OF the system. In addition TO This his eleC-
ton as president of the Kansas city South
eTn. which becomes effective August l.
will place him in a dual position OF sweep
Ing power and responsibility.
1t was well known that Colonel $. W.
Fordyce's tenure Of Office president OF
the Port Arthur Route was limited, ne
gotiations had been pending OF late with
man prominent in Western railroad circles
to become his successor. These negotiations
were brought to an end by the gentleman
himself, who frankly admitted that his
lection b. Mr. Hartman might antagoniza
other interests ia the syndicate and produce
results not in harmony with those which
have been outlined for the future. He ac-
cordingiy was dropped. and negotiations
opened with Mr.. Knott who has formally
been selected TO succeed Colonel Fordyce.
The general opinion now is that the Kan
sas City Southern will be made part of the
Alton systm. becoming the Southwestern
division. though for q time at least IL will
be operated separately. President 5. ".
FELTON, of the Chicago and Alton will be
the man at the helm in the active manage
ment Of both systems. though he denies
that he will be made chairman of the
board. or that he will go to New York to
assume new position.

Railway officials differ in their reports of
the miscellaneous traffic to the West as
compared with last year. Some say that 1t
is larger, others about the same. and a few
that ii Is less than a year ago. Taking into
consideration the volume of business mov-
ing ROW and n year ago, Ii is fair to as
sumo that 1t Is about equal to last years
record. Most of the Western lines are well
