have lately aroused great interest In the
subject of highway Improvement. 1t was
this association which, with the coopera-
ton of the Illinois Central railroad, con.
Quoted, with pronounced success, the ex-
pertinent of running train, called the
Good Roads Special" from New Orlean
to Chicago, for the purpose of construct
ing short roads at various places along
the route and thus Illustrating what
might be accomplished in that direction
elsewhere in the United States.
No movement of the sort undertaken
in this country ever created, in so short
time, so strong a sentiment in favor of
better highways. In Louisiana, Missis!-
ippi, Tennessee, Kentucky and Illinois,
particularly, the efforts of the association
were unanimously indorsed, not only by
farmers and merchants, but by bank
presidents, clergymen and municipal
officers. The Importance of the work
and the desirability of increased munich
pal and legislative appropriations for
carrying It on were impressed upon the
citizens, who, virtually with no dissent,
agreed to lend their best energies to the
cause. In Mississippi new contract
road law has been adopted lately, and
the reports from that state indicate that
its citizens are still enthusiastic upon the
subject of highway improvement. In
October, the president of the Mississippi
Good Roads association will call meet
ing of that body's executive committee
for the purpose of drafting a bill to sub
nit to the legislature at its next session.
1t is expected that the proposed measure
will fully set forth the needs of that
state, as seen by the local leaders of the
association.
No reason is apparent why the meeting
at Buffalo should not be as successful as
those which have been held in the South.
While it is true that statesmen, tinanciers
and other citizens of the Empire State
are perfectly aware of the advantages
which would accrue from the possession
of smooth and permanent roads, 1t is
equally certain that there is need of sub
stantial argument and demonstration In
the matter among residents of the rural
districts. Such residents, naturally
enough, vigorously oppose the IMPOSE
ton of additional taxes for Improvements
which. they declare. would benefit rich
people more Immediately than others.
Most farmers overlook the fact that
better highways would enable them to
draw heavier loads than they are oble to
draw now, would entail less wear and
tear upon their wagons, would save
much time in transportation and would
considerably increase the value of their
farm property.
If the orators at the Good Roads Con-
gress in Buffalo, and the experts who
will accompany them and give instruc-
ton and practical illustrations in road
making, succeed in enlisting the sym
patty and support of our friends In the
country, they should feel themselves well
repaid for their efforts. We believe that,
in a large measure, they will succeed.
Facts are facts, and enough Of them have
been established recently by the expert
ments in road making to Justify any
claims which are lisC. Y to be made at the
meeting New Yor N.

and is the grand jury which formed the
basis of one of the charges of the bar
association against him, in that it was
alleged TO he IN effect a grand jury
drawn to be hostile TO Governor Dole,
and for the purpose of bringing discredit
on Governor Dole and his administration.
1t Was alleged TO be composed almost
wholly of eX-royalists, men who had been
opposed to annexat on and to Governor
Dole politically. While this is largely
true it can be said that the jury was
composed of reputable citizens, some of
them of the highest standing in the COM
munity for probity and honor.
In connection with this grand jury
came another series of controversies, as
to the power of the grand jury to compel
the attendance of public officials before
it and to require them to testify. Judge
Humphreys took the ground that the
jUry's subpoena could compel the attend
ance of any person, and that they must
testify unless they took refuge under
their. constitutional right not to be re-
quired to incriminate themselves. Some
of the officials of the Territory res sted
this, among them Secretary of the Ter
ritory Henry E. Cooper. and Attorney
General f. p. Dole. This resistance led
to several contempt proceedings. which
gave rise 10 the assertion that If any of
these officials were committed for con-
tempt, Secretary Cooper, who had at this
tAi--S DGCOine <ACtiuS hOOAQ ILL
mediateiy pardon him, and thus bring
about clash between the executive and
judicial departments. These contempt
proceedings, however, ended without any
such clash. Governor Dole himself, how
ever, made no issue in the matter, but
promptly answered the subpoena, return
ing from his vacation TO do It, and free
y answered all questions pat to him.
1t was out of this grand jury also that
arose the proceedings that precipitated
the action of the bar association against
Judge humphreys Through a mistaken
impression as to the testimony of Walter
G. Smith, editor OF the Pacific CONNER
c!al Advertiser. the morning competitor
OF the Honolulu Republican, and bitter
in its attacks on Judge Humphreys this
grand jury indicted him for perjury.
When he was arraigned before Judge
Humphreys. his attorneys asked IL II

a large portion of the bar, and numer-
Ously by others in the community. He
was appointed a Judge OF the Circuit
Court of the Territory. Previous to this
appointment he had taken active part
in the organization of the republican
party, and organized a corporation to
start a new daily newspaper, the Homo
lulu Republican. In this corporation he
was large, if not the largest stockhoid-
err and with the stock of his mother-in-
law, whose proxy he had. he held and
still holds a controlling interest in the
paper. From it's first issue, which came
from tie press the day the Territorial
Act went into effect. his paper has been
vehement in its attacks on things as they
are, and on Governor Doie's administra-
ton. 1t became the organ OF opposition
and the mouthpiece of antagonism.
Judge Humphreys avowedly directed its
policy until MS appointment as Judge,
and is reputed to have written many OF
its bitterest editorials since. But with
his appointment he resigned official con-
nection with 1t, and has made efforts. he
says, to dispose of his holdings OF stock.
But as the paper has not yet established
itself on a paying basis, such efforts
We're not likely 10 be successful, and they
have not been.
From the beginning of his career on
the bench he has been the central figure
of a series OF sensational incidents
brought about by his orders, rulings, and
demeanor in the trial OF causes. which
have made him perhaps the most talked
about man in the Territory. He fined
and committed lawyers and others right
and left for contempt, his purpose in
many instances being avowedly to re-
form usages which had grown up, but of
which he disapproVed, and in others sim
ply TO enforce decorum and the dignity
of courts. OF the merits of these several
acts 1t would, perhaps, be impossible for
layman to judge. There seems
doubt. though. that in many instances ne
was justified. and doubtless some of the
reforms were des rable. But his manner
in many instances Inundated and antag-
onized members and sections of the bar.
and did not inspire general confidence
either IN his motives or in the wisdom of
the changes and reforms he proposed.
During the campaign preceding the
election of November, 1900. his paper an
tagoniZed elements in the republican par
~. and by his own statement he did not
vote for all the party candidates, When
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1901-12-06

the result Of the election became known,
his paper vehemently attacked the man
agement of the campaign, and was ac-
cused of expressing in effect, satisfac-
ton that the party had been defeated.
With the beginning of the session of the
legislature his paper placed itself in an
tagonfsm to every effort and act of the
republican members of the legislature,
became the acknowledged organ, adviser
and guide Of the Home Rule party in the
Legislature, advised nearly every attack
and effort made by the Home Rule mem
bers against Governor Dole and his adj
ministration, and lost no opportunity to
antagonize and embarrass the adminis-
tration. Nightly conferences of the Home
Rule members were held at the office of
his paper, and frequently the party
movements of the Home Rulers in the
legislature for the day were foreshadow-
ed in the editorials in his paper in the
morning. He was reported to have had
frequent conferences with the Home
Rule legislators, and IS reputed to have
written many of their committee reports.
On the other hand the Home Rulers
gave his paper all the legislative printing
IL had the facilities to do. and 1t was
current belief that the Home Rulers
looked TO him and to his paper for
guidance and advice. In spite of this,
however such was the incapacity of the
legislative majority, few if any of the
measures his paper advocated were pass
ed. the only notable exception being an
act taking from the high sheriff the pow
CT to summon juries, and placing it In
the hands of bailiffs appointed by the
courts 1t has been charged that in re-
turn for this he admitted nearly all the
native members of the Legislature to
practice in the lower courts, drafting for
this purpose a special form of application
not used in other cases. Whether this
was the reason, the fact remains that he
RI lf f1uft hos TDnGy IN nnfi nE
though. as they were admitted TO practice
only in courts equivalent TO police or JUS
tice Of the peace courts it is hard to see
wherein he is to be severely criticised.
Following the statement of Governor
Dole that he believed there had been
bribery in the legislature. a statement
made as one of his reasons for not call
ing an extra session for general legisla-
tive purposes, Judge Humphreys called a
special grand jury to investigate. This
was the first jury summoned under the
new law, of which he was the author,
