GOV. Dole has positive views about
milk adulteration and his paragraph on
that point we commend especially to
our readers. How general such adul-
teration is. few people know. There
cannot be much milk sold from which
more or less cream has not been taken
as the temptation to sell separately at
81 per quart "A substance that would
otherwise go with milk that sells at
l2la cents quart, is very strong.
Many dealers leave a safe legal per-
ceutaGe of cream but the customers
are few who can get more than one

1t was a novelty To him to find milk
that was thoroughly infused with

THE VICE OF "CRApS."

While moral reforms are being dis
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 in its exodus, a word of eXpla-
nation is needed Craps is a dice
game played with two dice or bones"
as the purists call 1t, 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 il at once caught the fancy
of idle Hawaiians and white men.
Now everybody who CANDLES at all in
a small way plays craps and the
vogue of the game is so general that
the police cannot attempt to cope with
1t 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 gambers-youths
who may graduate into poker and be
able to emulate Nick" Weaver or
chilly" Hurt.
1t is surely 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 a great many of them pecuniarily.

NEGROES AND LUNAS.

The letter of John c. Leftwich OF
Montgomery, Alabama, man of color
who visited the Islands some time age
to look into the labor question, con
tains this paragraph:
| was surprised on reading an editorial
In your paper, dated January 10, 1901.
stating that IL 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 / 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 an
Interview with Judge G. b. Robertson
of Maui, himself Southerner and one
intelligently concerned for the future
of the negro race. The facts upon
which Judge Robertson based his con-
illusions were, as we remember them,
as follows:
A certain number of negroes We're
brought to Maui and put in charge of
man who knew nothing of their pecu-
liarities. 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 rock
ing chair; no one asked for a 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 a little money; but
it all went for razors or ornaments.
If the superintendent had been
Southern man, said Judge Robertson,
ne 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 a 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 1t can trust them to take
such action as will best conduce to the
orderly and efficient management OF
their estates.

Carlos Solari was the name of two

nearly $1,000 in the Hibernia Bank. The
other one died and by mistake the 9TH

The living Solar called at the bank for
the money and was told that he was
dead. and the money gone to his heirs.
He will sue the bank If the heirs do
not refund the money.
One hundred and twelve rifles and l.
FOO rounds of ammunition were surren-
dered at Haganey on February 10, most

tant and indicates a great reaction IA
vorable to American interests in the re-
gion of Bulacan, heretofore one Of the
worst In Luzon. This result has been
accomplished exclusively by the long
continued intelligent and persistent eff
forts of the officers of the Third United

Willy Dave Hill let's it be known that
he is not a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for President, but is
too much engrossed' in his law prac-
tice TO care anything about 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 engross-
nents of the law and put in his best
ticks to achieve his life ambition.

FUNERAL BENEFIT NOT PAID
Mrs. Hill Sues the Carpenters Union
Another Case.

The evidence and arguments in the case
of Mary A. Hill against the United Broth
erhood OF Carpenters and Joiners' local
union for 800 were heard yesterday in JUS
tice Shocks court and the case taken un-
der advisement. Complaint is made that
on the death of Mrs. Hills son. George W.
Louden, a member of the union, on Oct.
10 last, the union refused to pay the 800
funeral benefit usually allowed and for
which provision is made in the rules of the
union. The service of the writ was made
upon J.. d. Stoddard, the local president.
and after entering his appearance the plea
was made that the body was not a corpora
ton and could not be sued as such.
Justice Smock also had before him a civil
suit involving an interesting legal propo-
sitiOn. Charles II. Whitsett sued in re-
plevin the Capital carpet-cleaning works.
The question TO be decided was whether
or not. when the defendant had taken goods
for storage. repaired a part of them and
delivered those repaired to the owner, the
balance of the goods could be held under
lien for the storage upon the whole and
for the repair charges. The case is also
under Amusement.
