An "apple pie bed" is one in which
the sheets are so folded that a person
cannot get his legs down, the foot end
of the sheet being brought up to the
head end OF the bed. This head to
foot arrangement being implied, the
expression may have sprung from a
corruption of cap-a-pied, or cap-a-pie,
as it Is frequently written.

No Newspaper Trusts.

Mr.. Alfred Harmsworth, editor of
the London Mail, in his recent object
lesson to American newspaper editors
maintained that the great newspapers
of the country would soon swallow up
the smaller ones; that the greater
among the great would swallow up
the less, and so on, until there would
remain only two or three gigantic
journals. We did not believe that
Mr.. Harmsworth was right, and said
so at the time. Thought is illimitable,
speech is unlimited, and newspapers
are merely printed speech. So long
as certain men have ideas that other
men want to read or hear, there will
always be free speech and free
press. To think that two or three, or
even twenty or thirty newspapers
could rule a nation of seventy-five
millions of people is preposterous.
Men with fiery tongues and fiery pens
will arise in every city and every
land where they are needed, and if
they have ideas that are worth hear
inc they will always be heard. Men
of brains are not phenomena, but they
are not too numerous. The race runs
to quantity, but not to quality And
lesser men are always eager to hear
the thoughts of men more gifted or
even more fluent than are they.

NOT he MIsSIoNARIE

In several mainland papers the
missionaries" are being blamed for
the attempt of a certain coterie in
Hawaii to unseat Delegate Wilcox. In
this instance, for a wonder, the mis-
sionaries are not guilty. They repu-
dated the policy of the would-be ward
heelers who fortunately have ruined
the Republican party here, and it lis
not fair that they should De submitted
to the castigation of strong Re-
publican paper, like the Argonaut,
which said: Tine movement de-
signed to prevent Delegate Will
cox from sitting in Congress is
in the recent election"
"The movement to prevent Delegate
Wilcox from sitting in Congress is
most unwise. If Wilcox was loyal
Hawaiian when his country was Ha-
waiian that is every reason why he
should be a loyal American now that
Hawaiians have elected him a dele
gate to the American Congress. If
he is unseated the Hawaiians will be-
lieve, and with reason, that they are
going to be denied representation in
the national Legislature of the great
republic which has annexed them.
This movement is a small anu jealous
ami spiteful attempt on the part of the
so-called missionary element in Ha-
waii to revenge themselves on Wilcox
because he defeated their candidate
in the recent election.

BILE comforts. The Bungalow is good
enough for it's business, which needs
no daylight. But that is surely not the
kind which our Senate is doing. The
Progress Hall would be an ideal place
for the Senate, and .nere are possible
committee rooms, meeting rooms,
lounging rooms and refreshment
rooms could easily be secured. We
hope the Senators will not be per
suaded by Governor Dole to have
their necks broken.

truths has come to pass since Mr.
Harmsworths object-lesson. William
j. Bryan, the defeated candidate FOR
the presidency, has started a weekly
paper called the Commoner. 1t Is
published in the small city of Lincoln,
Neb. 1t has no dispatches. 1t has no
special correspondents. 1t has no
longest leased wire in the wrld." 1t
has no Associated Press franchise
Yet it begins with circulation of 5O,-
600 copies, and the second week sees
it with 10000. Now we are not OF
those who admire Mr.. Bryan, but we
admit freely that he, if not leader OF
men, is NAH who has many follow
ers. Who can deny the influence that
will be exerted by this one man in his
weekly paper published in little
Nebraska city? And is there any
newspaper or newspaper trust that
could begin with $4,000 copies? Is
there any newspaper in San Francisco
that is as influential as w. j. Bryan's
Commoner? Is the Examiner, the
Chronicle or the Call? Is there any
daily newspaper in New York that
will be more powerful with the Dem
ocracy than Mr.. Bryan's Commoner?
| Is it the World, or the Journal? Both
of them tried to. defeat him for the
nomination and both of them failed
We cannot see that Mr.. Harmsworth' s
theories of newspapers aggregating
into trusts are to be feared SO long
as such popular politicians as Mr.
Bryan can start newspapers,-The
| Argonaut. ...

Legislators Listen to Lepers.

1t was after midnight when weary
Senators and Representatives of our
local Parliament returned to port
after an official visit to the Leper
Settlement at Molokai. Many mem.
bers of the party wished that they
had needed the warning rules OF
the Independent in regard to visit
ing Molokai, especially the first one
which said "ion't CO."
They have all returned however
safe ard sound after having per-
formed an unpleasant, but patriotic
duty. The poor people at the
Settlement greeted their visitors
with warmth and confding en-
thusiasm, which has never been felt
since 1886 in the days of Gibson.
The usual visits were made TO the
two grand, institutions, the Bishop
and the Baldwin Homes, where i'm
provements are daily being made.
A meeting was held at the Bere-
tania hall, where the Lepers were
called upon to enter any complaints
against existing conditions, and
where the Legislators listened to
them with great patience and kind
ness. Witnesses We're called, and
the numerous affairs OF the inmates
were thoroughly aired by intelligent
sufferers, like Tom Nathaniel, Am,
brose Hutchison and others.
Loud applause greeted the words
of Representative Emmelath who
said: a..
"We hope to give you self govern.
ment by July l, and you can then
do as you wish for yourselves. You
will be able to eradicate the present
causes Of complaint, as you will
have full charge. The land will be-
long to all alike and you can do
with it as you please"
r. M. Kaaoao, the chairman OF
the committee addressing the Legis
lators made charge which shocked
the men listening to him. He said
to them:
"Many ara sent here by the Board
of Health who are not lepers, or at
least they are cured soon after ar
rival and are not permitted to de-
part. The following are the names
OF some | know who are not in the
least unclean: A. Kaanaana, j. Il.

and Mosni."
A careful Investigation was made

and the buildings, and an exhaus-

Judge-Editor Humphreys has adopt
ed method which, if tolerated, would
do away with the main principle of
jury trials. A case was tried in his
court last week. Twelve good men
and true were sworn in as jurors, af-
ter having satisfied the prosecuting
officer for the Territory, the represen-
tative of the defendant and the judge
editor that they were competent to sit
on the case. Two jurors, after listen
ing carefully and patiently to the evil
dence presented in the case, to able
arguments by the attorneys and to
one of the judges peculiar Charges
to the jury" firmly believed that the
defendant was not guilty. The jury
was locked up for nineteen hours, but
no information in regard to law points
by the judge nor any arguments in the
jury room could change the honest
opinion of the two jurors, who held
that defendant was not guilty. The
Judge, in discharging the hung" jury,
took upon himself the right to, in o
scathing manner, reprove the two dis
senting Jurors, to have their names
stricken from the jury list and the
fees due them lor the term confiscat-
ed We fear that the judge-editor is
no longer mentally sound and that
his hallucination in regard to his
greatness, power and self-importance
is taking such form that his friends
should step in and see that lne miss
ing ward at the asylum, his constant
source of complaint, is erected at
once. Does the judge-editor really
mean that he has the right to punish
two duly sworn jurors with fine be-
cause they decline to adopt his views
or the opinion of their brother jurors
What earthly good is the jury system
if the jurors must give their verdict
| according to the presumptous opinion
of a judge who simply sits on the
bench to obey the dictum of the jurors
and not to dictate to intelligent and
honest men as to what their opinion
should be. Let us be charitable and
admit that this trifling bit of an Ari-
zona judge-editor is overworked, ach-
ing for a rest, which he is entitled to-
when the energetic Judge Gear re-
turns, and in the meantime does not
know what he is doing. If he would
only confine himself to write doggerel
about the High Sheriff, the asylum OF
any other old thing, there would be
no kick coming; but the people of this
Territory don't propose to have juries
terrorized by man who is off his
base and yet on the bench.

TOPICS OF TEE DAY.

1t must be amusing for those who
know anything about Hawaiian affairs
to watch the Gear-WilcoX fight and
that of their respective bosses"
Sewall and Haywood. Until Gear was
hired by few shareholders to go to
Washington to "unseat" Bob, those
two politicians were rather on friend
ly terms. The two great statesmen,
Sewall and Haywood, were hardly on
speaking terms because-well, that is
another story.

We approve of the bill providing
for the repeal of the law making vac
cination compulsory, if it is amended
so as to conform to the law now in
force in Great Britain. In that coun-
try, where vaccination for smallpox
originated, the compulsory law has
simply been modified to read that all
children shall be vaccinated before at
tending a public school, except in
such cases where a parent shall go
before judge and there swear he or
she is conscientiously opposed to vac
cination. If the judge is satisfied that
the parents are in earnest a certificate
is issued eXempting the child from
vaccination, and no fee is attached to
the process. There are many people
in Hawaii who believe that leprosy
was spread here through vaccination,
and a parent ought certainly to have
the full control over the person of his
child in matters of such nature.
