JUSTICE BY BSTEE.

Judge Estes decision IN the haheas
corpus case is a trea. TO the loyal AM
erican mind following as 1t does upon
the surfeit Of judicial legislation. ex-
cuses, expedients and warping of JUS
tice to which two Law students Of the
Territorial Supreme Court have treat
ed the citizens Of Hawaii. Judge Es-
tee holds true to the mark set by him
when first assuming ONCE In the Ter
ritory. true to the principle announced
by him as the guide NJ his judicial
acts-"that American law Is common
Justice"
The decision RENDERED today reads
like a magma charta to the loyal peo-
pie Of this Territory who have SO long
witnessed the prostitution Of justice
for no other reason than that faction
al rulers dislike and are determined
not to face the American issue. Judge
Estee admits the "peculiarities" Of the
local situation: a string that has been
harped on till II is worn to FRAGILE
But he does not evade his duty: be
does not set aside the requirements OF
his oath OF Office. Judge Estee meets
the issue manfashion as true Ameri-
cans have met every issue. He centers
his mind on the rendition Of justice
without fear or favor. He recognizes
that the rights Of personal liberty
guaranteed and guarded by the Consti
tuition are the foundation Of our ma
ton virtues. And he proceeds to gran
those rights.
Judge Estee's decision speaks for II
self and the Bulletin commends IL
careful reading to every citizen Of thi
Territory. Aside from its effect upol
the prisoner at the bar. II has deep
err and more cogent lesson to Ameri
cans OF this new possession. The pow
er OF the Constitution is here. not L
be trod under foot and scorned. but Z
rise triumphant and bury the puny op
ponents of its operations in the dus
heap OF insignificant despair.
