JURY REFORM.

Mr.. Ballou, in beginning an argument
in court Saturday, made the remark
that Hawaii is probably the only place
in the United States where a jury is
not chosen by lot. To that extent the
charge of being un-American applies to
this country, though singularly enough
| the abuse of the jury system has been
wrought by the politicians whose
"Americanism" is their stock in trade.
It has remained for them to make juries
| of one politics, one pre-ordained motive
and of one mind as to political and
other revenges.
| Naturally the prestige of the courts,
already lowered by the presence of a
| fugitive criminal on the bench, is rap
idly becoming thing of the past. We
anticipate the reply that, in the past,
juries were not selected by lot, and the
| circumstance is one that the Adver-
| tiser has never approved. But it re
| calls no instance where the power of
choosing juries, as exercised by the High
Sheriff or by the Marshal of the Re
public of the Provisional Government
or of the Kingdom, was deliberately
misused. There were times in the rev.
dictionary era when the refusal of
Royalists to accept citizenship debarred
them from jury duty, but that was
their own fault; now all hands have
chance but the "cloSe corporation
idea in juries is at its fragrant worst.
Naturally the whole thing reflects upon
the local administration of justice, and
in a way that never happened toward
the administration of justice formerly;
and as result we have un-American
Ijuries who cannot be trusted to DELHI
crate, with any impartiality, upon
questions that arouse their class or po
Ilitical prejudices. But for the Supreme
ICourt-which few carpet-baggers
wanted to "reorganize" so they could
control it-Hawaiian justice would now
be by-word and a jest.
Should there be an extra session of
the Legislature we hope that siren
uous effort will be made, if the nature
of the session will permit to pass a
law establishing a Board of Jury Com
missioners, to be appointed by the
Governor and confirmed by the Senate.
Such a board, which should be compos-
ed of Home Rulers, a Republican and
Democrat, should be directed by the
statute to draw juries by lot. While the
results might not always be perfect, they
would be vastly better than those OBJ
tainable by sending a native boy about
town with a list of people to summon
or by leaving the selection of a jury to
any one Territorial officer Fair play
and American custom suggest and de-
fend the choice by lot

assga FOURTH OFssJULY.

little ginger is necessary to start
| the patriotic impulses of Honolulans
this year to prepare for a proper OBJ
servance of Fourth of July. The cele-
brations of the nations natal day in
past years were of the kind to make
Uncle Sam look pleased and smile a
broad smile, but the prospects of get
ting up a clebra ton this year seem
poor.
The meeting called for last Thursday
night was attended by about a dozen
gentlemen, who have been prominent
in past celebrations, and an adjourn
ment was taken until Saturday evening
The results in the way of attendance
were not much better, and those who
are endeavoring to arouse the business
community are having hard time of it.
George w. Smith, who was chairman
of the Fourth of July committee last
year, issued the call for the meeting for
this year, although he will not again
serve as chairman. The matter is be-
ing worked up by George B. Mcclellan
and few other energetic young Am
orleans, and the call was issued by Mr..
Smith In accordance with their wishes
They have endeavored to enlist the ser
vices of the Young Mems Research
Club to act as a body to bring about a
fine Fourth of July celebration, but al
though the members are heartily in
favor of the object, they do not
wish to take the initiative as club.
There Is a. fine opportunity for the
members of the Sons of the American
Revolution to call upon the patriotic
citizens to make the coming Fourth of
July as full of noise, speeches, oratory,
cannon firing and fire crackers as in
former years. The good old-fashioned
Fourth of July Is being urged all over
the United States, and with little diff
Guilty the same condition should easily
obtain here. The parade in which the
floats of business houses usually
take part, headed by the band the ma
tional guard, civic and semi military
societies, schools and a choice few of
the finest speakers in Honolulu could
make up program for the day, while
a display Of fireworks in the Capitol
grounds, or from the summit of Punch
bowl would be a fitting finale for the
evening.
meeting has been called for tonight
to meet in the drill shed in one of the
company rooms, and Mr.. Mcclellan and |
Mr.. Smith urge citizens to respond to |
the invitation, as there are less than |
two weeks in which to lay plans.

TRAINING THE YOUTH.

DR.. David Starr Jordans reasons why
every young man should go to a univer-
sity IL he can; the argument of Charles
N. Schwab, head of the billion dollar
steel trust in favor of beginning, at, ar
early age, the work one intends to dc
IN life; and the practical talk of the late
G. p. Huntington from the text ..Too
Much Education"-all these things
taken together, may well leave an in
During youth in state of dire per-
plexity. Shall he go to college and per-
haps run the risk of growing his intel
1ectua1 rife until it's structure has been
weakened. or shall he stay away from
college to regret the loss of liberal
training? Shall he apprentice himself
to a great machine shop and perhaps
lose social caste and the chance. of Gull
ture; or shall he hold back from the
opening which might lead up to the
heights where stand Carnegie and
Schwab? Many a young man might
ponder long over these questions with
out reaching decision which would
satisfy himself and his friends.
The simplest way out it seems to US,
is to take judgment of the boy and act
accordingly. If he is a studious, inves-
tigating sort of boy, an omnivorous
reader, with a tendency towards
science, law, literature, mathematics,
art or religion, send him to a univer-
sity If possible. He will need that sort
of training. College training, If not too
long deferred, will help in a business
career. If the boy is handler with tools
than anything else, let him get a high
school and manual school education
and then set him at work. If his taste
is for Seafaring life, give him a good
common school education and put him
aboard ship. If for agriculture give
him an agricultural course and then
put him on a farm. In either case he
will begin his life work young, and that
is as important now as it was when the
youthful Nelson was billeted as
MILDLY, when Horace Greeley was ap-
prenticed at the case, when A. T.
Stewart was bred to dry goods. and
when Grant and Lee and Sheridan and
Jackson were indicted into the business
of soldering at the average age of sew
enteen. West Point and Annapolis are
ideal schools in that they educate
young man in the rudiments of his pro-
fession and trade before he reaches an
age when he dislikes to begin on The
bottom round of any ladder It is diff
ferent with civil universities. Thou
sands of young men, educated at uni
versities. youths who might have made
good machinists, have found themselves
in a social position at %. the average
age of graduation, which they would
not sacrifice to put on a greasy Jumper
and go to work with the dinner pail.
So they became half-rate professionals
Far better for them, if, when ready for
college, they had enlisted under one of
the great captains of industry.
Size up the boy, see what he can do
best, and educate him accordingly. In
some cases he will go to college: in
others he will learn a trade; in others
he will go into stores and offices. One
machine can't turn out successful men
of every pattern; and the universities
score about as many failures as do the
shops, g.. 80

Those who expect the Marquis Ito to
throw away the rank and honors which
have been granted him by the Emperor,
do not give proper credit to the rever-
ent patriotism with which Japanese
public men regard the head of the

Marquis would be called disrespect to
the Emperor, and this Is an offence

According to a man who writes us
from Buffalo, the hula dancers are sin
ned against as we'll as SHINING. The
king of the Midway fills the atmosphere
with lies about them and their country,
and few of them are wroth. Never
theless, we notice that all of these peo-
pie cling to their engagement, despite
the ownership here and there among
them of bank accounts None are dis
pleased enough to come home. The saw
ing feature of the Midway show seems
to be the cyclorama of Kilauea, which.
at Chicago and San Francisco, where
nothing of the hula sort was allowed
to be shown with it, greatly stimulated
the curiosity of tourists.

Hawaii will have its first touch of
hard times if something is not done to
pass a loan bill. Money is growing
tighter all the while. The trouble
about an extra session is, however,
that the Home Rulers may use 1t up in
trying to pass county bills and other
tax-eating measures, and leave the
treasury worse off than before. If it
were possible to get pledge in writing
from them to pass a loan bill and moth
ing else, and adjourn in two weeks, the
experiment of another session might
well be tried.
