PROVING CHARACTER.

Belief in the possibility Of proving char
actpr in court Is Il current legal fiction
So common has the practice Of proving
character" in the courts become. it now
appears to he n favorite resort for law
yers, ana i'll the practice It appears to
be not as much a desire to get ut the
truth rs il is to confuse and myStify the
juror by conflicting testimony. In doing
this mems friends are called to testify
in their favor; their enemies are called
to testify against them. The one set Of
witnesses see only the good points, and
the others see only the bad points i'll the
character and reputation Of the party in
question. Ii il evident that character
must be- in between what the two sets Of
witnesses say. But who makes that am
alysis. and who determines the result:
Sure it is that the relation Of the witness
to the party whose character is in qnes-
ton Solors-quaities, the testimony.
Again the jurors friends testify for, Or
against, the defendent, and the bias of

Again, the jurors estimate Of the law

toward and against the character or repu-
tation aS the ease may be. Lawyers may
plead, and judges may charge, but these
facts Of human nature remain i'll force,
and with force mimpaired. In some
cases these predellctons are set aside,
let us hope in many cases but there is
another turn in tn" road. II may happen
that Il number Of witrsses--the larger
numbpr--tcStify against an honest repu-
table man. and il less number for the dis
honest and disreputuhlc man, and too

dence of the Bar in his administration
OF justice.
We feel greatly aggrieved to think
that the conspirators have again TO
eject their personal trouble into the
resolutions against Judge Humphreys.
II is bad for the Bar Association. Bru-
tus Thurston. Casca Kinney and Ire.
bononius Hartwell were very properly
and very Justly imprisoned by Judge
Humphreys for contempt of court. One
refused to testify before the Grand
Jury and the other two grossly in
suited Judge Humphreys in an affidavit.
They escaped punishment owing to
the action Of the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, who doesn't know what
to do. and the pardon of man who IL
legally claims to be Acting Governor
Of the Territory.
We have in our attempts to tighten
the burden Of condemnation which is
everywhere heard against the Bar As.
ISOLATION, incidentally alluded to the
charges against Judge Humphreys.
From their perusal and au acquain.
lance with the reasons for their pro-
mitigation. we are convinced that the
Bar Association is guilty OF the con-
tempt Of the people.
The fearless American Judge. A. 8.
Humphreys, is more popular with the
people today than ever before. He Is a
noble man, with record as a Judge
unsullied by one dishonorable act.

Justice; II they are not true their oh.

patriotic motives. In any case their
excuses seem to us Of the fimsiest and
totally unjustifable.

vided he can sustain that onerous but
self imposed title, which we doubt, we
consider his course the most contempti-
BILE of all. Thurston's excuse may be

fuses to perform such a duty. Thurs

The class represented by Cooper and

their own theories and their own

, they find II hard to realize that there
is real law and a real Constitution
in the land at last. to which their ac'
must conform. The law grants few
privileges to the man In authority
which 1t does not grant to the mar
under authority. and those are chiefly
privileges Of following and obeyine
more exactly than others the lawi
which they are appointed to force upon
others. The spirit of American insti,
tutions. which is the life Of the land
looks with little favor upon the official
who would make the robes of his Office
q protection against the requirements
of duty. The Executive officials Of the
Territory Of Hawaii need fear little
danger from delegations Of discontent-
ed agitators to President Mckinley,
but unless they watch well the path
they pursue, they will without hostile
intervention fall into the pit which
they themselves do dig, be the authors
of their own handwriting on the wall.
and the instruments of Its execution.
Let them remember that in political as
in civil life there are more suicides
than assassinations.

in DEFENCE OF THE BAR ASSOCIATION
From the Sunday Volcano.l

This paper Is not an apologist for
Judge Humphreys. His record Is such
that he needs no apologist. But cir
cumstances, unfortunately, over which
we have no control, place us in an en-
barrassing position. Today The Vol
cano appears as the arologist OF the
Bar Association. We shall try to mi.
nimize the questionable acts, to say
the least. of the Bar Association In
asking President Mckinley to remove
Judge Humphreys from an Office which
he has filed with SO much conspicuous
ability. integrity and irlpartiality.
We desire to say, as the advocate OF
the Bar Association, that Judge
Humphreys is not on trial, but the
Association itself. Many Of the men,
bers of the Association have been led
into a trap and are now laundering
like fish in net. to escape imprison-
ment. To the best Of our ability we
shall try to extricate them from their
precarious position, and we ask the
mercy OF the community in their be-
half.
II may seem to many that the Bar
Association in its attempted impeach-
ment of Judge Humphreys impeaches
its own integrity. 1t will be hard for
The Volcano, friendly as It is to the
Bar Association, to deny this glaring
error In arraignment. We have the
assurance OF Brutus Thurston, Cassius
Smith ,Casca Kinney and Trebononius
Hartwell that the Bar Associations ac-
ton was actuated by the most holy
motives-the conservatism Of indi-
vidual liberty and Justice.
II is true that many may say, and
Washington will say. that these con-
spirators, being guilty Of the contempt
of the court which they impeach, were
nctuated by malice. But perish this
thought and let mercy find lodgment In
your minds, for Brutus Thurston and
his co-conspirators say that love ac-
tuates their action. And are they not
honorable men?
It is true that many will say, and
Washington will say, that these con-
spirators, having been guilty Of con-
tempt, should have first purged them
selves of contempt before counting con-
tempt at the throne Of power. But why
can people be so unreasonable, so
cruel so devilish? Does not this COM
munity know that Brutus Thurston,
Cassius Smith, Casca Kinney and Tre-
hononius Hartwell are honorable men,
and being honorable men, would not
commit contempty
Let us, in weighing the evidence in
this phase Of the, case, overlook facts
and take the uncorroborated state
ments of these conspirators. for they
are honorable men. Let us Danish from
consideration the insulting affidavit
filed by these honorable men in the
Smith perjury case, an affidavit that
not only was insulting to the court but
to every American in this Territory, an
affidavit that no self-respectipg attor-
ney would present in any court on the
Mainland. These honorable men say
that no insult was offered, although
they left out good breeding and pro-
fessional etiquette in their pleadings.
Let us be merciful, for the quality Of
mercy is not strained"
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1901-06-03

We know that many will say, and
Washington will declare, that there are
no grounds presented in the Bar As.
ISOLATION resolutions for the removal o!
Judge Humphreys. We think so, too
As there are no grounds in the reso-
!uticns, or outside of them. for that
matter, for the removal of Judge
Humphreys, the Bar Association IL
placed in peculiar position. Let us
however. withhold our censure and be
merciful. Let US not condemn the
greatest and noblest profession. az
George A. Davis declares, In the world
for men are prone to error. "To err Is
human; to forgive. divine"
The resolutions passed by the Bar
Association declare that Judge
Humphreys has continued to publish
and control partisan newspaper, and
has taken and continues to take an ac-
tive part and leadership In bitter poll
teal controversies In this Territory.
Is 1t any wonder that the introducer
OF these resolutions. Mr.. A. G. M. Rob-
ertson, wanted to consider them with
closed doors? So Judge Humphreys
controls and publishes partisan news
paper! We feel sorry for the Bar As
ISOLATION. Brutus Thurston also con
trois and publishes partisan news
paper. But ne Is not on the bench ?
True. But he seeks To place men on
the Dench whom ne can control. Now.
tne very nrst charge against Judge
humphreys looks suspicious, smells
suspicious ana Is suspicious. In 1t we
see the upuIted and cleaning knife
OF newspaper rivalship. We feel great
sorrow Tor the Bar Association.
Now. there isn't an American nudge
in the States who isn't n partisan. He
