A VICIOUS MEASURE.

The House of Representatives has
passed bill requiring the electric light
and telephone companies operating in
Honolulu to put their wires under
ground. The passage of the bill would
: virtually force these companies out of
business, as there Is not sufficient in
come to pay running expenses and meet
the tremendous financial obligations re-
sulting from changing over the present
system of stringing wires
This policy of placing wires under
ground has been adopted in a few of the
large cities of the United States, but
only 1.-the cities of the first-class, ow-
Ing to the enormous expense Incidental
to so doing. 1t is conceded that It
would be most desirable that Honolulu
should be rid of the surface wires and
poles IL 1t can be done within the
bounds of reasonable cost It is shown.
however, that the cost of so doing will
be so great as to be prohibitive It Is
also stated by men who are connected
with some of the great enterprises of
the city that the people here can better
bear the evils of having the wires above
ground than they can the abolition of
thetelephone and electric light systems.
From the general knowledge of the
subject now In possession of the Adj
yertiser 1t is believed that the expense
of putting the telephone and electric
light wires of this city underground. In
view of the large extent of territory
covered. and the small number of sub
scribers and customers respectively In
that territory as compared with the
large cities of the Union, would
virtually abolish both the electric light
and telephone services.
So far as any report or statement
made in the House Is concerned, no In
vestigation Of the subject was made
by any committee or member Of the
House of Representatives. The chances
are that with only four days left Of
the session the Senate will not have
time to consider the bill at all. The
members, before they vote upon 1t,
should obtain some reliable figures as
to the cost of the undertaking, as TO
large cities of the Union. would

but to the community at large.

MR.. RlCHARDS FINAL WORD.

Editor Advertiser: Permit final word
and a brief one. The length of my for
mer communication must have obscured
Its purpose. Can we not afford to let
non-essentials disappear in the face of
this paramount question-''what will be
the status of the liquor question with
no legislation on the subject?" Is it
to be constructive prohibition with no
penalties for violation of law? What's
the odds whether this question Is intro
duced by crank" reformer politician,
or the merely comfortably negative citi-
zen? Let some one come off his con-
sentative perch and 'speak to It," The
Legislature has a few more days. What,
Mr.. Editor, would you suggest in the
emergency? THEODORE RICHARDS.
Constructive prohibition with no
penalties for violating the law" would
seem to be the natural result of the fail
ure of this Legislature to regulate the
liquor traffic. Things would be left
wide open, in fact, though prohibition
would rule In theory.
What the Legislature should do Is a
very broad question. 1t ought to do
something. Perhaps the simplest thing
would be to re-enact the present liquor
law, unsatisfactory as that law is. A
new and better bill would bring on a
wordy wrangle and reach no results in
legislation, leaving the saloon business
in this Territory wide open. Nobody
wants that-at least nobody worth lis
tening to. Hawaii is now at point
where, to our mind, there is simply
choice of evils, Is not the present liq.
uor law better than no law at all?

Very properly, Governor Dole has re-
fused to extend the legislative session,
though an extra session for one specific
purpose, will, of course, have to be
granted. Were there fair assurance
that the lawmakers would use thirty
days more in making up for past errors,
the Governor might fairly give them a
chance, SO as to save the Treasury from
an accommodating deficit; but it seems
certain that they would do more mis-
chief than good. An irresponsible Leg
islature, having squandered fifty out of
sixty days, does not recommend itself
for more time. especially when 1t has,
on its calendar of unfinished business,
scores of bills, the enactment of which
would send the country to the dogs. The
best thing to do is to- wind the regular
session up and align all the business
interests of the country, with their gil
gantic allied interests on the mainland,
in an appeal 10 Congress to so amend
the Organic Act that Hawaii can ac-
quire an intelligent, honest and
capable making body.

PAIN SEES HIS FINISH.

It will be a relief to the community
to know that Free Lunch" Pain has
not only been turned down by the Leg
islature, but that the Supreme Court
has also filed an opinion which will put
an end to his plans for perpetuating his
antediluvian system of transportation
in this city. The decision of the court
puts a final negative upon the claims
of the Tramwa'y Company that it has al
exclusive franchise; that it has the
right to double track, thereby to
shut out other companies, and that it
had the right to use electricity.
This gives the Rapid Transit Com
pany free hand to go ahead and In
stall an up-to-date electric system, I'M
hampered by the obstructive tactics o.
the would-be monopoly.

FANClEs. VS.. FACTS.

| The Observation-Disclosures correspond
ents of the anti Dole press concur In
statements about the attitude of the
Washington authorities towards Gov
ernor Dole, which are not only contra
| dicted by the tenor of the official cor
Irespondence between Washington and
Honolulu, but which must impress even
the casual reader with their intrinsic
falsity.
The Cooper incident, which Secretary
Hitchcock long ago disposed of by his
statement, per Associated Press, that
the manner of making the government
al record of the proceedings of the Leg
lislature here must be determined by the
| Territorial authorities, has been re-
opened by the instructed correspond
ents, who now say that this same Sec
rotary Hitchcock will demand an ex-
PLANTATION of the Governor" Evidently
| the correspondents, in the poverty of
Hawaiian subjects to lie about, are
working over the stale tips they got
from here at the beginning of the Legis-
lative session.
Another extraordinary piece of hum
bug printed over the convenient initials
of "E. S. L. reads as follows:
One Of the latest of these mean little
questions IS the assumption of Govern or
Dele that his own name Is sufficient sig
nature to state papers. Edward, King CT
England. signs state papers with his
rank as a suffix The Governor of the
grand old Commonwealth of Massa chu-
sets would no: think of signing state
paper without putting the word Govern
or after his name. The Governor of no
State in the Union. in fact. would ever
sign his name that way The ASSUME
ton of Dole that it is proper form legal
~ or in political ethics, is nothing but
case of snobbery.
We have no hesitancy in expressing
the belief that the writer of that para
graph got all his information in Homo
lulu. The Washington officials whom
he pretends to have interviewed but
does not name, are aware, If they have
looked into the matter at all, that Gov
ernor Dole signs all State papers with
his name and title. In communications
to the Legislature he follows the style
set by President Mckinley in commune
cations to Congress, merely signing his
name-a matter of taste and preference
not regulated by law.
Another correspondent obeys orders
in saying that a row is brewing over
the refusal of Governor Dole to set
aside any building for the use of the
Federal Judiciary Department here In
asmuch as a recent decision already
published. acknowledged the sole right
of the Territory to control the buildings
it now officially occupies. and as no
Territory Is under obligations to house
purely Federal officials, the chances of
a ROW" are very remote indeed II a
building was available, which is not
the case, the Territorial Government
would have no call to let the United
States Circuit Judge and the officials
connected with his court occupy 1t,

The attacks made by the Legislative

unfair to him, as all licenses applied Tor
have been passed upon by the Governor

Demise of James Donahue.

Last Saturday, March ., at his home
in Allen, Hillsdale county, Mich, oc-
cured the death of James Donahue,
the father Of Attorney VIM. II. Dona-
hue, of Minneapolis, at the advanced
age of 81 years. He was born in the
parish OF Ayshall, county Carlow, Ire
land, in 1916, and emigrated to the
United States in 1916, first settling in
Lyons, Wayne county, N. Y, where he
married Miss Ellen Corby, who sur
wives him. The deceased located ut
his late home in Michigan in the early
SOS, and by thrift and industry be-
came one OF the wealthiest farmers in
that section of the state. He was the
best off in the township where he re-
sided and was universally respected.
Judge koon, of this city, knew him
well, and acted as his attorney for
many years. Mr.. Donahue was the
last survivor Of the Irishmen who
We're early settlers in Hillsdale county,
all of them dying before him. Besides
his widow. he leaves two sons and one
daughter to mourn his loss, viz: Will
liam, the well known attorney Of this
city; John, who lives ON the farm, and
Mrs. Ellen Burns, who resides close
by. His four brothers, three of them
III Michigan and one in Geneva, N. Y,
preceded him to the grave. His moth
er died on board ship while crossing
the Atlantic in 1876 and her body was
consigned to the deep. His grand
uncle was executed during the Irish
rebellion of 179S, and a priest who was
a relative of his was killed with the
insurgents. He belonged to an old and
patriotic Irish family in Carlow and
was full of "reminiscences of the awful
times that tried mems souls in that
disturbed district of Ireland at the be-
ginning of the last century. In the
closing days of his life he took great
interest in the Anglo-Boer war and
felt happy when British reverses were
reported in the newspapers. The fu-
neral occurred OH Robert Emmet'S an
niversary from the Catholic church

William left here on Saturday evening
to attend the burial of his kind and
indulgent father, whom he esteemed
and loved. The Irish Standard tenders

row.
