Defending Sapho.

"When the devil would his darkest
deed put on he wears the garb OF
angel"
For the last three months the
City of Honolulu has lacked place
Of amusement. After some consid-
erable persuasion a firm of theatric-
al managers from the Pacific Coast
agreed to bring to the City an
aggregation Of actors and actresses,
headed by a lady who lie known in
the English Speaking World as one
of the noblest and grandest of Eng
lish Speaking actresses. The man
ayers OF this aggregation, in their
superior wisdom of what is beauti-
ful in stage lore, saw fit to open
their engagement here in produc.
tion that has won the applause OF
every thinking honest virtuous man
and woman, that have witnessed
the play. A newspaper in this City
headed by man OF uuquestioned
Christian charity (?) has seen fit to
think that Alphonse Daudet 10 i'm.
moral. Let the learned gentleman
who wrote the editorial in that
paper point out, in what The play is
immoral. Is it immoral for woman
to love3 Is it immoral for a woman
like Sapho to love wisely but not
wells Can a nobler picture be
shown than this so-called vile
creatures love for the offspring,
born OF her misfortune7 Is there
a work in the classics, spoken Of in
that same editorial, that teaches
grander and more beautiful lesson
Of the weakness OF human nature
battling against itself, and becom-
ing victorious out OF its very vice,
than is taught in Daudet's Sapho?
Would it be wise for these most vir-
tuous gentlemen that control the
policy OF the paper to take the
broom Of virtue, the mop Of honor
and honesty and do some sweeping
and cleaning where they live, and
know and learn that Sapho was no
more prostitute, than were some
of the classic heroines they sought
to tell us Of, and that when virtuous
men and virtuous women attend
such play, they go there armed in
the armory of their own purity, and
l can say this, that will advise the
gentlemen who wrote the editorial
to learn, "He is only evil who

such works are to be employed for
eight hours on each days work.
Sec 2. That lie eight hours, as
provided in Section 1, shall constitute
a legal days work in the Territory of
Hawaii; and such hours to begin
from 8 o'clock in the morning to 12
O'Clock at noon and from 1 o'clock in
the afternoon to & o'clock in the even
ing.
Sec. 3. This Act shall take effect
from and after the date of it's publ
cation.
A similar bill has already been de-
clared unconstitutional by the highest
court of our country (by that we don't
refer to our local circuit COURT, and
a discussion of the bill would simply
be waste of time and useless.
Here is another bill which might as
well be sent to the waste basket. 1t
refers to the education at public eX-
pense of Hawaiian youths, and we only
quote:
Section 4. The Secretary of the Ter
ritory, with the Board OF Education,
are hereby directed to send the said
youths only to be taught in the follow
ing occupations: First, the legal pro-
fession; second, the meulcal profess
sion; third, surveying and civil engin-
eering; fourth, the art of teaching;
and the youths shall pursue such
course of studies until they shall re-
ceive diplomas from the instructor of
the schools on the mainland or
abroad.
The Hawaiians are now American
citizens, and a Hawaiian boy must
take his chances with any other boy.
The Hawaiians have never been beg
gars, and public charity, as it would
be, they have never called for. Intro
duce a bill to establish university
here and our boys can become lawyers
and doctors and surveyors right here,
and probably with as much ability and
our professionals from the mainland.
But is It not wiser to attend to the
finances of the Territory before we
discuss universities and diplomas?
OF course tax law has been intro
duced by Colonel Dickey, which would
have the same effect on the treasury
as that one introduced few days ago
by colleague of his, relating to the
repeating of taxes on female dogs. We
refer to the effect of the bill as reduc-
ing the revenues of the Territory. The
bill reads:
An Act to Abolish Personal Taxes.
Be it Enacted by the Legislature of
the Territory of Hawaii:
Section 1. The levying, assessment
and collection of personal taxes here
tofore known as poll, road and school
taxes, are hereby abolished.
Sec. q All sections or parts of Sec
tions of laws inconsistent with this
Act are hereby repealed.
Sec 8. This Act shall take effect on
the 1st day of January, a. D. 1902, and
shall not be so construed as to inter
fere in any way with the assessment
and collection of the personal taxes
of A. D. 1901
Let us repeat to our honorable and
honored members that time is short,
that the enacting of laws is a slow
and difficult business, and that Dole
and his crowd will obstruct but not
help the first Hawaiian Legislature in
the Territory. He is all right under
the Organic Act and nothing will suit
him better than to see the Legislature
prorogue after doing NOTHING.

LAW MAKING.

A perfect avalanche of bills is fall
Legislature. Every man elected con-
,siders it his duty to "do something"
but so far every member seems to
have lost sight of the main object of
the Legislature; we mean that of rails
ing the necessary revenues with which
to pay the expenses in connection with
running the government.
Our legislators are, of course, all
wise and earnest men, but we have
seen men, even of that stamp, making
horrible political blunders.
Now, it seems to us that the Legisla-
ture has lost sight of the appropria-
tion bill, which ought to have been one
of the first measures introduced. We
know, of course, that the idea was to
delay that important bill so as to force
the Governor to extend the term of
the session by thirty days, which the
following clause in the Organic Act
gives him the power to do. in Section
43, which reads: THAT each session
of the Legislature shall continue not
longer than sixty days, excluding Sun
that the Governor may extend such
session for not more than thirty
days"
That is surely plain enough, and
every member can obtain a calendar,
with the aid of whicn he can find out
how many working days are left for
the Legislature The wheels of the
Dole government will run as smoothly
as ever, even if no appropriation bill
is passed, because lection 81 of the
Organic Act plainly says that "all leg
islative and other appropriations made
prior to the date when this Act shall
take effect shall be available to the
government of the Territory of Ha-
wall"
We see no use in, at this date, criti-
cising the merits or demerits of the
provisions of the Organic Act. We are
obliged to act according to that Act
or go out to Diamond Head and make
a revolution, and Bob" being absent,
we are hardly prepared for that. The
Legislature ought to get down to prac.
deal with the tax bills while the other
house attacks the appropriation bill.
Then change around and something
may be gained definitely before Dole
gets his chance to ring down the cur
tain and keep the old boat a-sailing
over the same old pond of the family
compact.
An enormous lot of work Is before
the Legislature. The draft of the char
ter for the city and county of Homo
lulu" has just been sent to us from
the Republican charter committee. 1t
is printed pamphlet of ITO pages, and
the reading of IL in two languages
would occupy two weeks at least We
had to hire a warehouse to hold the
bulky charters of the Independents,
will, in some form or other be read in
the two houses. Be practical, gentle
men, and figure closely how much time
there is at your disposal, and do not
waste time on trif1ing measures, which
may be excellent at another time, but
which hardly ought to have considera-
tion now.
Why devote time to bill like this:
An Act to Provide That Eight Hours
Shall Constitute a Legal Days
Work, Either Mechanical or In
Dustrial
Be 1t Enacted by the Legislature of
the Territory of Hawaii:
Section l. On all works, either me-

will be opened on the east
side Of the property adjoin-
ing the Kamehameha Girls
School; said road will extend
to the sea.
Crossroads will be opened
between blocks. Every lot
will have a frontage On a
road. The elevation varies
from forty feet high to ten
feet high above sea level.
No swamps, around the
premises. No freshet will
enter the property.
There is an offer to buy a
part of the property by a
great manufacturing COM
pany. The chances are the
offer may be accepted. There
is every reason to believe that
the prices Of lots will increase
in a short time. The owner
OF the property will give all
chances to purchasers to
make money on their invest
ments.
The ground is superior to

The premises are situated
within one mile and a hslf of

The Government water
pipes are laid slong the upper
portion of the properly.
The prices are the cheapest
of any tract within two miles
