THE STATUTORY PRESIDENTS.

TN EVERY Act of Congress creating Territory,
the duties OF the Secretary of the Territory have
Il been defined with clearness, especially with ref
erence to the preservation of the laws and the
transmission of copies to the seat of government.
Let quote:
Section l. Act of July IS. 1887. the Northwest
Territory: 1T shall be his 1.-THE Secretarysl duty
TO keep the acts and laws passed by the
Legislature and the public records of the district.
and the proceedings OF the Governor in his execu-
tive department and transmit authentic copies of
such acts and proceedings every six months to the
Secretary OF Congress"
In Title % provisions common to all the Terri
tories" Sec 1874 (R S. L. So: The Secretary
shall record and preserve the laws and proceedings
OF the legislative assembly, and all the acts and
proceedings OF the Governor in the executive depart
ment: he shall transmit one copy of the laws and
journals of the Legislative assembly, within thirty
days after the end of each session thereof to the
President" etc.
Sec GO. Act OF April S0th 1900 organizing the
Territory Of Hawaii: He (the Secretary shall re-
cord and preserve all the laws and proceedings of
the Legislature. and all the acts and proceedings
OF the Governor and promulgate proclamations of
the Governor, He shall. within thirty days after
the end each session OF the legislature transmit
to the President ct al one copy each of the laws
and journals of such session and shall
perform such other duties prescribed in this
Act may be required Of him by the Legislature
Of HawaiiT
It viii be seen that the duties of the Secretary
laid down in the Hawaiian Act in no wise difer
from the duties imposed in the Act common to all
the Territories" These duties plain and simple
and easily understood There need be frills
added because Hawaii is the Territory concerned
The Secretary may wait until after the Legis-
latnre adiourns. store away the minute books or
journals and forward the copies of the proceedings
and laws when printed. and there you are

RESULTS or a o,spENsARY LAW.

THAT the dispensary Law has oeen a success in
i for eight years is assured By the reports of the
directors of the dispensaries of that State OPP
position has gradually died out until there is no
question now of the Law having behind it the moral
sentiment of the State 4 recent letter from II. H
Cruun State Dispensary Commissioner. contains the
following information: The law has now been in
force eight years and the longer it is in force the
better results We get No is allowed TO sell
spirituous or malt liquors this State except the
authorized State agents. Arrests for crimes that
were formrly ascribed to whisky and ntoxicants
have been reduced ninety per cent In fact some of
our towns have no marshal policeman. sue
cessfully the dispensary law worked in reducing
drunkenness and attendant crimes
reference to the report of the State Board of
Directors of Dispensary shows that for the fiscal
year 1900 the profits to the schools counties and
towns from the sale of liquors at the ds2ensaries
amounted to s566seS That il would be much easier
to enforce many of the provisions of dispensary
law in Hawaii than it was in South Carolina is evil
dent from the fact that all liquors shipped to this
Territory must come by water. This would greatly
reduce the@strict watch necessary in south Carolina.
in the early days of the dispensary law to prevent
the unlawful introduction of liquors into the State
That it would greatly lessen drunkenness here there
is no doubt, and above all it would take the saloon
out of politics in Hawaii before it had an opportunity
to become important factor.

A CHALLENGE.

nERSISTENCY becomes assininity with Governor
~ Dole and Secretary Cooper in their continued
harping the alleged duty of the latter to make
for himself record of the proceedings of the
Legislature to forward to the officials in Washing
ton There have been Territories and Territorial
in the United States since July 49, 1887
when the Northwest Territory organized out of
the country lying west of Pennsylvania and to the
north of the Ohio river This act was passed by the
Confederate Congress, and consequently antedates
the present Constitution of the United States
All of the subsequent enabling acts for Territories
were modelled upon the plan of the Northwest Ter
rtory Yet strange TO say. for the first time in the
history of the United States, construction is
scought to be placed upon the simple duties of the
Secretary of the Territory. 1t is reserved for the
quid nunces of Hawaii to teach Uncle Sans officers
that for hundred and fourteen years they have
been ignoring the rights and duties of the Secretary
There happenings of late in Hawaii that will
broad smiles of ridicule in Washington and the
ridiculous pretensions of the Secretary will not be
the least cause.
If the Governor and Secretary are right in their
contention they be sustained by legal precedent
They have reiterated bald assertions long enough.
Now for the proofs Let Governor Dole request of
the local Attorney General opinion to the Sec
retary's rights and duties in the matter. Then let
Mr.. E. P. Dole find. if he can single precedent
in support of the contention that Secretary the
Territory is "the Presidents representative" in the
local Legislature and is therefore entitled to
on the floor: let him find one single precedent for
the assertion that the proceedings that to be
forwarded by him to Washington to be gotten
up or composed by him. Let him show single pre-
cedent where Territorial Secretary sat the floor
of Territorial Legislature and made report of the
proceedings separate and distinct from the official
records kept by the clerks of either house
Show up shut up. Bald assertions no
longer legal tender
If it be found that there is no precedent for the
silly claim made by the Secretary let him honestly
and squarely admit that he was mistaken or. if he
never believed in his claim. that he simply try

established rules IN regard to the
conducting of Court when Judge
Humphreys yesterday assigned Mr.

and Ar. Kinney TO give his services

The power to assign members of the
Bar for the defense of criminals who
have no attorneys is an established
fact all over the civilized world. but
il has always been the custom for
the court to select attorneys appoint

ers who have an enormous business

given up criminal practice. Mr.
Inurston appeared in Court this
morning and asked Judge Hum

virtually a year ago had given up

THREE CIRCUIT JUDGES ARE NEEDED.

TT GOES without saying that three circuit judges
\ are needed for the Island of Oahu. comprising
Il the First Circuit In addition 10 the natural in
crease Of litigation and probate business the
absence OF one judge for many months has crowded
the docket TO such extent that even with two
judges many months must elapse before the courts
catch up. Cases begun under existing conditions
cannot be disposed of for an indefinite time and il
is wrong TO keep the people out OF their legal rights
indetermnately. AS Judge Frear points out in his
report. the Organic Act does not limit the number
of circuit judges bur leaves that matter for the Leg
islature 10 determine II the additional judgeship
be created the President win h il by appointment
As TO the appropriation for salary this could be pro
vided for at the extra session OF Congress- and If
there be no extra session. there is enough money in
the fund 20 pay all the salaries until Congress meets
again In December next SO that there is every rea-
son why the additional iudgeship should be created.
and no valid objection against Hawaii Is the only
Territory in the Union that may increase the num-
her OF its judges The strong probability is that
the salaries OF these judges will soon be raised to
four thousand dollars per year. Senator Clark OF
Wyoming introduced bill for this purpose. and him
self reported II back fayorably from The Judiciary
Committee to the Senate without amendment. Il
