familiarize himself with the conditions
here and his efforts have left their I'M

Should the reports of the probability
of the choice of Attorney General Van

and the bar, and who win come here
with more than a little acquaintance
with men and conditions, through his

" DAMAGES" FOR HEATHEN GODS.

EXPANSION now presents the Great
Republic with another intricate moral
question. Hawaii Is theoretically Il
Christian State though the vast major
ity of its inhabitants are pagans who
are contributing greatly to our welfare.
According to Chancellor Kent, the noted
law writer, the principles of Christian
ity are silently incorporated into our
Constitution and laws. These positively
forbid the worship of any other gods"
Heather gods, therefore, are not en-
titled to legal protection. nor can they
have any pecuniary value in Chris
tian State.
But this community is suddenly called
upon to pay damages for the loss of an
assortment of Asiatic idols destroyed
In the late official connagratlou. What
should be the attitude of the COM
munity towards such an extraordinary
claim? 1t is a novel question in our
Jurisprudence. 1t is the law of the land
that nc recovery can be had In the
! courts or elsewhere for injuries suffered
in unlawful practices, or for the loss of
articles used for immoral purposes. a
burglar cannot recover damages for tn,
loss of the skeleton keys which he uses
in house-opening.
! Freedom OF worship which is guaran-
| teed by the Constitution does not per-
NIT the offering oc human sacrifices OF
promiscuous palytheism If the Ten
Commandments are a part Of our COM
mon law. The worshipplng OF idols is
called "heathenism" and that is rite
which Anglo-Saxon civilization regards
with the same hatred that the New
England farmer regards "skunks under
the barn"
We must look. therefore, with sus-
picion on attempts to obtain damages
for the loss of heather gods. for II

Jurisprudence. Governor Dole and the

MACHINES FOR PLANTATIONS.

With the close of the meeting OF the
Planters Association, there Is apparent
a feeling of greater ease of mind than
obtained among the men whose lines
t.uched those of the actual plantation
workers only in the slightest degree.
Every report which was read, and every
paper which told of the progress Of
the experiments looking toward addi-
ton to the value of cane and economy
in men and material, indicated tina
there Is ahead of the industry an era
of prosperity.
This was shown in the remarks of II
p. Baldwin upon the experiments being
made in the search for a perfect cane
leader and the efforts of the planters

self to dictate to him in the perform
ance of his duty. 1t is on par with
its declaration that there shall be nam
ed for appointment no official who has
not the endorsement of the committee,
or the committee of the district in
which the applicant resides. This too,
when II is really known that there are
now in the employment of the govern
ment men OF all shades of political
faith: men who have special fitness for
their duties, and who have been en-
dorsed in some instances by the mem
bcrs of the committee which passed
such a resolution.

of President Roosevelt when the ques-
ton OF machine politics Is CONSIDERED,
SO as to see what may be accomplished
in the endeaVor 10 prejudice NasblnS-
ton against the appointees of the late
President. AS to appointments there Is
a clear path marked out In which the
President has placed his feet. while In
the Civil Service Commission he was
one OF the most strict observers of the
letter and spirit of the law that ad-
vancement must be through merit. II
is safe to say from his record that II
will go hard with the official who gov
ems his appointments by any other
rule.
If there Is one trait which above an

of purpose. Beginning with his earliest
