TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The Grand Jury which recently
was summoned in Hilo for the
regular court term must have been
composed of a very funny set of
men with pronounced virtuous
streak in their upper structure.
Read the following "charge" by
these truly moral men. who OF
course never, never violated Sec. 89,
Chap. 13, Laws of 1897:
"We have gladly needed the in
structions OF the Court regarding
violations of Section SO, OF Chapter
13, Laws of 1897, and we call upon
the Sheriff and his assistants, to
ferret out and prosecute all persons
guilty of adultery.
"Lawbreakers of this class have
been allowed to sin with impunity
so long that they have become Ito
repeat the language OF the Court)
"a naughty and impious element
who faunt their iniquity in shame.
less confidence in the face of the
community.
"We urge all good citizens to give
their hearty moral support and aid
to the Sheriff in bringing to justice
these arrogant offenders whose con-
taminating immortality is a constant
menace to the public welfare and
business prosperity Of Hilo by driv-
ing away or keeping out citizens
who do not wish their children to
grow up in modern Sodom."
The good people OF Hilo are be-
hind the times or the Grand Jury
wouldn't have wasted its thunder.
The law referred to is obsolete and
should be repealed at once, and if
time permits the Legislature will
repeal that and many other statutes
which are out of date. Adultery
should never be considered crimin-
al offense. 1t is simply matter for
a civil suit az other breach Of con-
tract cases and the criminal courts
should not be called on to furnish
evidence in divorce cases. 1t is to
be hoped that none Of the "arro-
CANT" sinners sat on the Grand
Jury which was somewhat mixed
between swipe selling. sewerage and
morality. 1t was hardly necessary
for the Grand Jury to admit that
the jurors had no experience in the
work of a Grand Jury. Their re-
port demonstrated that fact clearly
enough.

The Court room of the Circuit

shows the taste OF the Judge and
his disregard for expenditures Of

curtained, the chairs are comforta-

The small boys who hang on to
the rear platform Of the tramcars,
jumping on and off the steps while
stealing a ride are a common
nuisance to people driving along
the roads. The boys will jump off
in front of horses which the driver
is called upon to suddenly pull up,
then the imps will jump back to the
car to repeat the feat few minutes
later. The drivers of the oars have
not eyes in the back OF their heads
and it is impossible for them to
chase the boys away. The patrol
men ought to be instructed to make
an example OF the first boy they see
hanging on to car by arresting
him and bringing him before Judge
Wilcox for fatherly lecture. They
not alone jeopardize their own lives
for limbs but they may yet be the
cause of some accident to others
through their needless pranks.

LITTLE GIRL
S Lo we'd to the Point of In san ii
By a Bachelor.

Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. 16.-A petition
was filed today in the County court
asking that commission be appoint
ed to inquire into the mental condi-
tion Of Archie Turner, of Willamsville.
Joseph d. HUBER will filed the petit
tion. According to Hubers story,
Turner who is 35 years old, is in love
with Hubers thirteen-yearo daugh-
ter. The mans attentions to the girl
have been very annoying to Mr.. and
Mrs. Huber, who board at the Will
Evansville hotel, where Turner boards.
Recently Mrs. Huber spoke to Turner
and told him she wished he would
cease his devotion to her little daugh-
ter. Turner was deeply affected and
stood in one place in the kitchen all
that night, and since, it is said has
acted very strangely. He appears per-
fectly rational regarding everything
not connected with his attachment for
the girl

"DEAR JUDGE;
Please Give My Man EIzie a
Divorce.

Wapakoneta, o., Dec. 17,-Elzle
Myers, a young man of this county,
has brought suit for divorce from
Anna Myers, his wife, who is living
at Delphos. The allegations of the
petition are sensational, but as the at
torneys for the plaintiff withdrew
the papers from the Clerks Office i'm
mediately after they were filed the
details are not known. Mrs. Anna
Myers, probably having heard that
proceedings would be brought, wrote
a letter to Probate Judge Walters ask
ing him to let her know whether her
husband had applied for divorce, and
If so to grant it to him, as she would
never live with him again, but to be
sure and let her know if he had
granted 1t. The Judge could not com.
ply with the request.

THE BAREFOOT HABIT.

From the New York Evening Fost'
 Several years have elapsed since ths practice of allowing children to go bare foot first started among the well-to-do classes In England. A considerable inn pulse was given to it by the announce ment in the press that little Dorothy Drew, MT. Gladstone's favorite grand child, was allowed to run about most or the time without either shoes or stock ings. Since then the fad seems to have snread in remarkable fashion. and Judg- ing from the latest reports. it bids fair to assume the proportions of a craze. AL ready 1t is the subject of correspondence in the newspapers and has provoked the solemn hilarity of Punch. Originally It was only in the privacy of their homes or gardens that the little daughters of lux ury frolicked with naked feet, but now it is no uncommon experience, even in the London streets, to see dainty toilets of silk and satin ending somewhat incon-

Prohibition in Mississippi.

Maine and Kansas make more noise over their efforts to abolish dram drinking, but neither has accomplished as much in that direction as Missis- sippi has, and Mississippi is not re- garded as a prohibition State. And vet it is. and there is no nonsense about her prohibition. It is real, whereas in Kansas and Maine it Is not.
 Under the terms of the Mississippi constitution any county can have pro hibition whenever it wants it. A spe cial election can be called at any time One defeat simply paves the way fol another campaign, and between the women and the churches 69 out of the 75 counties have gone dry" Thers are but 6 wet" counties in the State Three of these are on the coast, and are in fact suburbs of New Orleans The other three are Madison, with canton as it's county seat; Monroe with Aberdeen, and Warren. the county of Vicksburg. Madison and Monroe are the scenes of active cam paigns, and local option elections are to be held in them soon. It Is believed they will go dry" This will leave wet only Vicksburg's county and three coast counties. The coast coun ties are not identified with the rest of the State. Long stretches of tim Der isolate them, and they are more suburban than otherwise. Vicksburg and these coast counties will soon, nc doubt, be the only counties in the State where the thirsty wayfarer can get glass of beer. and even these may go dry" if the women and the churches insist upon it.
