Baby Wanted the Candy

There is an intelligent baby on the
West Side of town whose father is q
newspaper man, and who has several
uncles in the same business. The child
is petted and mas been somewhat spoil
ed by one of it's uncles, who boards in
the house with the child's parents. The
uncle keeps a locked desk in his room.
One key of it he carries with min and
the other he leaves in the house. Re
Gently he bought some candy and gave
his little favOrite a part of it, and
placed the remainder in the desk. The
child was busy eating candy, but, true
to It's newspaper blood, it saw where
she candy was placed. After the uncle
had left the house the possible future
journalist, knowing where the dupli-
cate key was kept, obtained it and
tried his hand at burglary. His tiny
fingers were too frail to turn the lock
and he had to give it up. He shrewd-
ly destroyed all clues TO his deed by
hiding the key in a place where it was
not found for several days. Finally hs

the bill which was passed by the local
Senate yesterday was copied. 1t is NOT
surprising to see Senator Russell and
Judge Humphreys fighting the law re-
lating to capital punishment. The fam
lily album of the ex-Russian- Siberian
doctor used to be adorned with his
photograph minus his head, to keep
the third department of ST. Petersburg
from tracing him, and really, it must be
horrible to be beheaded even by photo
graph. The local bill which passed
yesterday should be killed by vote or
veto. Hawaii is not yet ready. with
her mixed population, to take away the
terror of swift, sure and certain pun
ishment which should always stare our
half-civilized imported population in
the face when the principal command
of the law of Moses is violated We
have reason to hope that the House
will kill the Senate bill and give the
country at large chance to express its
opinion in regard to such a radical
measure as that of abolishing capital
punishment.

REAL ESTATE PRICES.

AiNsIt a year ago the Advertiser ven
tured to say that the price of real es-
tate in Honolulu had gone much too
high and that the inevitable result
would be to diminish sales and check
the growth of the city. Though Homo
Zulu is far from being q metropolis. lots
can be bought in the suburbs of San
Francisco, close to Golden Gate park,
for less money than similar properties
can be had in the suburbs of this
town. Such a condition we then re-
garded as abnormal and we are glad
to see that financiers like Mr.. Lloyd
of the German Savings and Loan As
ISOLATION agree with US. A leader
of the Shriners, man of general bust
ness experience, says the same thing.
We have had and are still having a
real estate boom. 1t differs from the
late Southern California boom only in
that il makes no use of brass bands
and but little use of loud-voiced auc-
tioneers. Its genesis was in the pleth-
ora of money here which enabled rich
men to buy at any price, careless of the
consequences so long as they got what
they wanted and in the sanguine ex-
pectation of the public that Honolulu
would become a great city. Perhaps
the latter assumption is true; but 1t
is also true that, in proportion as the
price of land increases, the attractions
of given city to homeseekers de-
crease. 1t is a bad thing for an eK-
pectant town when a man of moderate
means cannot buy a homestead; and
when real estate offers a greater Ger
tainty of being lower than higher in
price in the long run. The experience
of California goes to show that. when
real estate prices reach a point which
sober judgment knows to be unwar-
ranted the population becomes station
airy or begins to recede. Are we ap-
preaching that status in Honolulu?

AS TO CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

The Senate yesterday passed at third
reading a bill which aboiishes capital
punishment in this Territory. The Re-
publican members voted no, but the
Hawaiians were determined to carry d
measure, the Importance Of which they
hardly understood. That their mentor
from Arizona is opposed to capital pun
ishment and has many reasons to favor
and promote such a bill is natural, but
we hardly expected that the Hawaiians
would follow him, knowing the existing
conditions in this little Territory with
it's mixed population as they do. A
few countries in Europe and some
states in our country have abandoned
capital punishment from religious, con-
scientious and honorable motives. Our
Senate here, in spite of the earnest re-
monstrance of men like Senators Bald
win, Cecil Brown, George Carter and
! Clarence Crabbe, passed the bill simply
because 1t was introduced by a political
Inonentity like John Brown of Hilo, who
probably had the bill handed to him
by the small eoterie of pettifoggers
that are trying to carry this Terri
ritory to its political ruin. They can
not succeed in their hopes to bring 4.
to financial ruin because the mis-
sienaries' do not scare easily even II
an Arizona kicker appears on the scene.
The bill passed, and Is of course OF
great Importance to the people living
here, and we think that IL more con-
sheraton had been given to the bill
the Hawaiians, good-natured as they
are, would have thought twice before
they said Aye" TO the passage Of one
of such a sweeping nature. If the Ha-
waiians Will reason with US for q mo-
ment we think that they can under
stand why we favor the retention of
the existing laws providing for capital
punishment for murder.
A large part Of our population is
composed of Asiatics who think very
little of human life, and to whom I'm

they are dead. But few Hawaiians
have ever been swung over the grea;

ing over the official records We find
that during the past twenty years only
seven HaWaiians have suffered the
death penalty. Nearly all the countries
In Europe have REINFORCED the law au-
thorizing capital punishment; Switzer-
1 land held out, but since the brutal
lcoWardly murder of the unoffending old
Empress of Austria by a fanatic bill

TO DESTROY THE FISH.

If the bill INTRODUCED into the Senate
by Senator j. Brown of Hilo, relating
to the Hawaiian fisheries, is passed, the
industry in these waters will suffer a
blow which years of careful labor and
diligence on the part of the local and
Federal authorities can hardly repair
Senator Brown desires to have the
law against the use of explosives in
the fishing preserves repealed and to
give all free license to kill, mutilate
and destroy fish of every size, from the
spawn to the largest species of the
finny tribe.
The section he refers to is 1862 and
reads as follows:
mo person shall use giant powder or
any other explosive in taking fish
within or upon any harbors, streams.
REEFS OR WATERS within the juris-
diction of this Republic"
Senator Brown seeks to have the
words reefs and waters repealed.
This done, only the harbors of Oahu
and the few streams running into the
sea can be secured from the destruc-
tive japanese.
AS most of the fishing is done within
the reefs or waters of the Islands,
1t can easily be seen what damage
might be done to the food supplies of the
population. The persons who will be
most hurt by the destruction of fish are
the native Hawaiians. Allow the Jap
anese fisherman to explode his cart
ridges of giant powder within the reefs
and the stomachs of the Hawaiians
will, within very short time, grow
hungry.
There is a fine opportunity for the
local society for the preservation of the
fish industry to get in its work and, if
possible, induce the Legislature to re
ject the Brown bill.
The United States Fish Commission
is about to send It's representatives to
the Islands to survey their coasts and
investigate the fish which inhabit the
waters and there is no doubt but that
the Federal authorities would have
something to say regarding this undi-
gested measure.

Senator White, as we understand.
will do the grand trick of the legfsla-
tive circus this morning. His party
will amend rule II to read that a ma
jority simply of the Senate can throw
out members annoying the majority.
Mr.. White will OF course win the day
and the minority represented by Sen
ators Baldwin, Cecil Brown. Clarence
Crabbe, John d. Paris and Achi will
stand a show to be invited to leave.
They are, in the mind of Senator White,
all disorderly persons, and although at
least Baldwin and Crabbe have done
all in their power TO smooth things
over they may be declared "disorderly''
also and expelled at the will of the
White Kalauokalani Senate. An even
ing paper which has always represent
ed the runaway faction-we refer to the
Independent-said in an issue lately
that 5000 voters would make a demon
stration against Governor Dole. Sen
ator Whites demonstration, If he has
his way, will be far more to the point.
His course may result in the expulsion
of the best men of Hawaii and In the
ultimate disfranchisement of the poor
devils who now believe that Robert w.
Wilcox rules the United States and that
Judge So-and-So has yet got sack. "

end was in sight, commencing with the
