IN RE HUMPHREYS.

The news of the decision In the case
of the Hawaiian Bar Association VS..
Judge Humphreys Is not necessarily
fatal to the attempt to remove the
Judge for cause. 1t is apparent to those
who have read his brief in reply to the
charges of the local bar that he had de-
ceived the Attorney General by means
of falsehoods which are both fragrant
and easy to establish as such. If the
Bar Association takes up this matter to
show the Attorney General that he has
been hoodwinked, the eviction of Hum
phreys from the position he has SO often
disgraced may follow.
AS President Roosevelt did not ap-
point Judge Humphreys there can be
no improperly in using the affidavits
In regard to the mans criminal career
before he became Judge, as another
means Of his removal These affidavits
are startling and they add very much
to the revelations hitherto made In the
dispatches. Used in connection with the
indubitable proof that Humphreys de-
fensive brief is nothing but string of
falsehoods. 1t may be easy to convince
the new administration that it cannot
afford to take the responsibility of keep
ing him in a judicial post.
The result. has been foreshadowed I'M
cur special dispatches, though our corr
respondent Cid not suppose that the At i
torney General, who had shown signs of
a fair understanding of some of Hum
phreys' disqualifying acts, would in the|
end. permit himself to be totally de-
ceived. However the conclusion is not!
yet. 1t took twelve years for the good
government party here to get rid oil

and four years to get rid of Julians

While much must be left to the per-
sonal wishes Of the incumbent, the peo-
pie undoubtedly want the President of
the United States to take some of the
individual safeguards which surround
foreign rulers. 1t has been proved for
a third time within thirty-six years
that the President cannot risk himself
unreservedly in the hands of his fell
1ow-citizens. He cannot go among them
without mortal peril Of meeting fanat-
ic, an anarchist or lunatic. Presi-
dent Roosevelt took unnecessary risks
after the death of his predecessor and
tried the nerves of those about him.
He would lose nothing in esteem if he
would accept the dictuIn of events and
avoid, during his term, all misceHa-
neous receptions of the familiar hand
shaking sort. Between him and the
crowd should always be the out
stretched arm of military power.

1t is a far cry to the inauguration Of
President Johnson, but there are many
who will recall the coming into power
Of His Accidency," as Simon Gamer
on aptly called him. It was not reas-
surfing spectacle. Before he took the
oath he tried to steady his nerves with
brandy and water and he reeled
through the ceremony, once more the
fuddled tailor of the Tennessee cross
roads. The administration thus begun
ended in failure and ignominy. Since
then the nation has progressed so far
on the road towards a self-respecting
choice Of leaders that 1t is highly prob
able that no such man as Andrew
Johnson could be nominated or ap-
pointed to any office that might bring
him into succession to the Presidency
Vice Presidential nominees may not be
always great, but they are usually re-

Twenty years ago now the American
public was deeply concerned in the
policy of the new President, General
Arthur Lacking the wisdom of Pres
ident Roosevelt the new Executive
broke from the program of Garfield, let
Blaine retire from the Secretaryship of
State and reversed some of the signifi-
cant policies, with which Garfield and
Blaine had been identified. Nor did he
keep the friendship of his own faction.
Had General Arthur been a more
sagacious man he could have averted
the defeat of 1854; but the responsible
ties of place to which the people could
not have been induced TO elect him,
bore too heavily upon his unaccustomed
shoulders.

In adopting the late President Nc
Kinley's policy as his own, President
Roosevelt shows political foresight as
well as patriotism. SO satisfied was the
nation with Mckinley that 1t would
have liked, as Mr. Depew said, to elect
him to a third term, or failing that,
to get President built on the same
conservative lines. 1t follows that II
President Roosevelt becomes a second
Mckinley, he will inherit the political
strength and following of his predeces-
sor. By that means the nation, instead
of getting eight years of Mckinleyism
may acquire twelve or sixteen.
