A demurrer and motion to quash
the writ OF certiorari theretofore is-
sued in be case Of w. s. Noblitt
vs.. the Board Of Health, were fled
yesterday by the defendant by It's
attorneys. Neumann & Davis.
The motion to quash the writ is
made on the following grounds:
The action OF the Board OF Health
of the Republic OF Hawaii cannot be-
reversed by this court, the said
Board having ceased to exist.
The act complained OF was done
by a ministerial officer, to wit, thc
Minister Of the Republic OF Hawaii,
and said ministerial officer and the
Republic OF Hawaii have ceased to
exist.
Certiorari will not lie against a
ministerial officer, to wit, ths Min
lister Of the Interior, who did the
alleged act complained OF in the re.
lator's petition, but 10 not joined as
a party.
Want OF Jurisdiction to issue this
writ OF certiorari.
Want of diligence and merits on
the part OF the relator.
The demurrer alleges that the
petition of relator is insufficient n
law and is bad in substance, and the
writ should be dismissed, and re-
views the substance OF the motion
to quash, and states that any reme-
dy that exists is not in the jurisdic-
tion of the present Board OF Health

"3. There is such a striking
similarity in the string of falsehoods
and misrepresentation that make
up the article to string OF the

The Home Rulers now conclude hat
because President Roosevelt has eX-
pressed the view that this Territory
should develop along American lines,
he will be prepared to take the advice
OF the only on-American political body
here. Happily, in his complete under
standing of island politics, President
Roosevelt Is able TO measure these
Home Rulers inch by inch from the
height OF their vicious opposition 10 ev-
erything American 10 the depth of their
ignorance and venality. He knows that
these are the anti-anneya:ion native
monarchists in disguise; he knows that
their leader" offered his ridiculous
sword TO Aguinaldo; he knows that
their Legislature was farca-comeGy.
and that they have no mo.e idea about
the ethics OF government than they
have about those of common sense and
common honesty: he knows that they
make their campaigns among the pool
natives by telling them tina; Home Rule
meant the restoration OF the throne.
And knowing all this. the President
may be trusted TO give their political
memorials against Governor Dbl the

The advocates Of the small farmer in
Hawaii are getting eloquent. one de-
ciamatory organ puts unbounded faith
in his triumph over nature because OF
the success of Americans in drawing
lightning from the clouds and "har-
Messing steam"-didn't an Englishman
do that?-and in discovering the secret
of the aurora borealis. With all due
Difference to these worthless It would be
more to the point to show that the
small farmer has overcome the Japa-
nese beetle, the cut-worm, the chicken
disease, the hog cholera, the taro and
potato blight, the excessive freight
rates between farm and market. the
rust on oranges. the tendency of the
more abundant tropical fruits to spoil
in shipmentthe cheap labor competition
in raising vegetables here and the Call
ifornia competition in raising them on
large scale for export, the irrigation
problem, the excessive heat OF the low
lands and the soggy wet soil of the
mountains. Any such discovery would
help nightly In solving the small farm
er problem. but Just where lightning
ana the aurora boreaiis come in Il Is
not given us to know. Perhaps the
writer thinks that the aurora boreaIIs
is some new kind of turnip.
