NEGROES AND LUNAS.

The letter of John c. Leftwich OF
Montgomery, Alabama, a man Of color
who visited the Islands some time age
to look into the labor question, con-
tains this paragraph:
l was surprised on reading an editorial
In your paper, dated January Is, 1901
stating that 1t would be well to import
Southern white men to act as lunas over
my people. If this Is the intention of the
sugar planters, then I am ready to throw
my whole influence against the move
ment, and will do everything to keep
any more colored people from going. The
colored people have had enough eXpe-
rience in the South of poor white bosses
without going thousands of miles to be
put under the very same condition.
Mr.. Leftwich is mistaken about the
origin of the proposal, which was ar
interview with Judge G. B. Robertson
iof Maui, himself Southerner and one
lintelligently concerned for the future
lof the negro race. The facts upon
which Judge Robertson based his ooh
illusions were, as we remember them
ais follows:
A certain number of negroes were
brought to Maui and put in charge of a
man who knew nothing of their pecu-
lliarities. They were very poor and
needed beds, blankets and food at once
The superintendent sent them to the
plantation store, telling them to buy
what they needed. The first man asked
for a razor and the second for a rock
ing chair; no one asked for blanket
but cigars, looking glasses, hair oil and
red neckties were in demand. As soon
as the superintendent saw how things
were going he stopped the sale and
tried the men with little money; but
it ali went for raZors or ornaments.
If the superintendent had been a
Southern man, said Judge Robertson
he would have lined the negroes up,
dealt out what he knew they would
require and taken no back talk In
that way things would have gone along
smoothly; as it was, the dissatisfaction
OF the negroes was as evident as that
OF their employers.
1t is proper to say that in publish
Ing the opinions of Judge Robertson
who Is not planter, the Advertiser
did not assume to represent the plan
tation interests. 1t did not and does
not know what the planters will do for
lunas; but it can trust them to take
such action as will best conduce to the
orderly and efficient management of
their estates.

THE VICE OF CRAPS. "

While moral reforms are being sdis-
cussed, let US not forget the humble
but pernicious vice of craps" To
those who are not familiar with the
genesis of craps" but who ought to
assist ia its exodus, a word of expla-
nation is needed. Craps is dice
game played with two dice or "bones,
as the purists call it, and consists in
trying to win through combinations of
spots, money being staked in any
amount on the result. The game was
brought here by negroes on the trans
ports and it at once caught the fancy
of idle Hawaiians and white men.
Now everybody who CANDLES at all in
small way plays craps and the
vogue of the game is so general that
the police cannot attempt to cope with
it and have time left for other duties.
People who, like morning newspaper
men, travel the streets after midnight,
often see gangs of boys, many of whom
have come there on bicycles, playing
Craps" under the electric lights. The
game goes on, often all night, in scores
of suburban shacks and cottages. The
waterfront teens with it. On the score
of Craps" husbands have complained
of wives and wives of husbands, at the
conjugal tribunal of Judge Wilcox. The
younger generation is going crap
mad. In other words, we are rearing
an expert race of gamblers-youths
who may graduate into poker and be
able to emulate Mick" Weaver OF
BILLY" Hurt.
| It is surely a thing worth attending
to, as crap" gambling is a vice which
the very young can easily pick up and
which is the ruin of them morally and
of great many Of them pecuniarily

THE COOPER CASE.

Secretary Cooper, as we understand
his position, does not intend to substi-
tute his own notes of the proceedings
of the LEGISLATURE for the journals OF
the Senate and House. He will accept
those records and send them to Wash
ington: and at the same time he will
be able, by taking his own notes, to
answer any further questions about the
Legislative procedure the President
may ask, and to certify to the sub
stantial accuracy of the journals, pro-
viding accuracy has been attained
Surely the Legislature cannot expect
| him to certify to the journals as faith
| full transcripts of the proceedings If he
| has been given no chance to attend and
observe the legislative sessions.
| The attempt to exclude Mr.. Cooper
| is sure to make a bad impression al
the national capital. Congress and the
President will naturally conclude that
the Beckley resolution arose from
desire to keep them in ignorance OF
the exact doings of the lawmakers
The idea that the forty-fve stalWar'
LEGISLATORS were afraid that Mr.. Coon
er might coerce them would merely
impress the risibles of Washington and
add to the grounds of suspicion there'
1t is highly desirable from the Ha-
waiian point Of view to deal with Con-
gress fairly; to throw doors and win
dows wide open and say: Send
whatever representative you may and
he shall be welcomed and given every
chance to know what is being done.
We are honest men and have nothing
to conceal" Such declaration would
do more for the permanence OF the
Hawaiian suffrage than almost any
other. It would be as far-seeing and
sagacious as the Eeckley proposal is
short-sighted and irrational-the act OF
men fit to move in the atmosphere OF
craftsmanship.

Touching yesterdays cartoon in the
Advertiser, this paper is glad of the
opportunity to say that it did not re-
fer to Miss Murcutt and Miss Acker-
man, as some may have supposed. Had
it been the object of our artist to ca
ricature them, their faces would have
been used as models; but the reader
will see that the type of woman pic
torially described is the same as that
used in the Francis Murphy cartoon,
which had no reference to the two Ia
dies whose presence here has been q
marked encouragement to moral en-
deavor.

Willy Dave Hill lets it be known that
he Is not candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for President, but Is
too much engrossed'' in his law prac-
tice to care anything about a little
thing like the Chief Magistracy. No
one knows better than Dave that the
average political racer who starts In
three years ahead of time, usually gets
out of the running before he sights the
goal. Some time in the summer of
1908 we shall expect the ambitious New
Yorker to forget all about the engrossJ
ments of the law and put in his best
ticks to achieve his life ambition.

Mrs. Nation is a boon to the humor-

There will be quite general sympathy
with the movement to give Charley
Peterson a berth as Diamond Head
reporter in the employ of the Mer-
chants Exchange. At present report
ing Is badly done, as must be the case
with a new hand at the lighthouse and
as was probably the case with Peterson
himself when he began his novitiate
But long experience has given "Dia-
mond Head Charley" a knaSk which
makes his services invaluable to the
business community, and If the Gov
eminent will not employ him again,
the merchants ought to do so.

1t is fortunate, in view of the col
lapse of Delegate Wilcoxs influence at
Washington, that Mr.. Haywood is
there to give Hawaii prompt and In
telligent representation. He is in de-
mand by chairmen of Congressional
committees and by chiefs of depart
ments whenever they need facts about
Hawaii, and his readiness with needed
data stamps him as a very useful man.
Had he enjoyed the privilege of the
floor of the House the embarrassment
caused by the Wilcox blunder over the
coinage redemption bill might have
been avoided. AS 1t is, Mr.. Haywood
may yet be the means of relieving it.

There is a fine chance for any ma
tive leader in this Legislature to put
himself in line for some high admin
istratfve office, when a vacancy occurs,
by fighting hard and sincerely for
economy, retrenchment and reform.
Nothing would please President Nc
Kinley better than to find native Ha-
waiians who are capable of serving the
Territory with wisdom and integrity.
Such men, raised to conspicuous posts,
would illustrate the virtues of expan-
sion and thus get the favor and conf
dence of the National Executive. Any
Hawaiian who manages to beat the
plumber bills would achieve a political
future much to be envied.
