ONLY PEACE WITH HONOR.

The removal of Governor Dole is urs-
ed on the ground that it would bring
peace" to island politics.
Nothing could be more fallaclous.
Turning out the leader of the good
government and civil service reform
wing of the Republican party in any
State or Territory, 10 make room for
the machine and spoils wing must nee
essarily summon to battle every friend
of honest and economical administra-
ton. If such a thing should happen
here the result would be as disastrous
to party harmony as was a somewhat
similar proceeding a few years ago in
the State of New York.
The fight which Theodore Roosevelt
had over and over again in the State
and city of New York is the fight that
Sanford b. Dole is having here. Mr..
Dole not only deserves the confidence
of the President but his steadfast sup
port.
Mr. Roosevelt never ceased his work
for good government for the sake of
peace with the enemies Of good gov
eminent, and we do not believe he will
expect Mr.. Dole to do so.
So far the President has not been
given a chance to clearly see either
Mr. Dole or island politics. But the
calcium light will soon be turned on.

THE SITUATION.

The anti-Dole paper makes more OF
the Parker affair than the facts war
rant, natural recourse under the CIR
cumstances. In an extended headline.
the Bulletin says: "Col. Samuel Par
ker's nomination as Governor OF Ha-
wall was to go to the United states
Senate today A careful search of the
paper reveals no such data; in fact, the
caption stands alone. Even if there had
been a telegram to support it the story
would not be true, for the President
does not nominate nor the Senate con-
firm any man for a post in which there
is no vacancy The condition precedent
is the withdrawal of the incumbent.
SO far as the public here can get at
the situation at the capital, the enc
mics of Governor Dole have made the
President think that some sort of a
change in the Territorial regime, he
does not quite know what, is necessary
here. Sam Parker has been sounded on
the Governorship and has straightway
spoiled any chances he might have had
by running at the mouth. Meanwhile the
President has his secretary announce
that he has promised the Governorshlp
to no one, but admits that he Is study
ing Hawaii. He does not know, he
says, whether he will retain the pres
ent officials nor whom he Will appoint
if changes are made. Then comes the
most significant part of all-he writes
to George Carter for advice, believing,
as is assuredly the case, that George
Carter will tell him the truth.
All that these facts prove is that the
enemies of Governor Dole have made
more active campaign than his friends;
that, as a result, the President is sus-
piciouS to the extent that he has can
vaSsed names for the governors place;
that he tested Sam Parker's discretion
and found it a negligible quantity; and
that now he seeks enlightenment at the
hands of a man whom he knows to
represent the conservative interests
which, as he assured J. B. Anterior,
w. o. Smith and others a few weeks
ago, will have the first claim to his at
tention in any issue of Hawaiian poll
tics.
Under these circumstances we think
the status quo is reassuring. All we
have ever asked for at Washington is
knowledge of the truth. Time and
again this paper has urged a commits
sion of inquiry, and the anti-Dole press,
fearing the result, has jeered at the
proposal. We have felt that too much
optimism has prevailed among the
business men here as to the meaning
and effect of the anti-Dole fight; but
now that all Hawaii knows what has
been done and the enemy is in the
open, and the need of defence is clear.
we look to see the whole trouble settled
in a way to secure the best results for
Hawaii. 1t is now fair fight; and the
men who urged Mr.. Dole to accept the
Governorship so as to establish and
conserve business confidence and who
induced him to undertake the task in
spite of his wish to retire, now see the
need of defending him against his enc
mics and preserving still longer the
commercial and financial stability
which his original acceptance of exec ,
utive functions implied

George A Davis, who, ii is said,
hopes to be Attorney-General in case
Parker becomes Governor, is afraid
there will be a campaign of mud
against his chief. Mr.. Davis is ms
taken Mr.. Parker has a long public
and business record here. and it is to be
presumed that, if the President and
Senate should ever consider him for
Governor, this record would be scru-
tinized so as to determine Mr.. Parker's
fitness for carrying on public business
honestly and capably. Should the
record show a clean page all the mud
in the world could not hurt Parker and
none would be thrown. Should it not
show a clean page, no mud would need
to be thrown. So it seems unnecessary
for Mr.. Davis to go into Mysteries or to
buy an umbrella for Mr.. Dole's antag-
onist Let him merely abide the event.
conscious that this will be a campaign
of public policy, not of detraction. ~,

Judge Little did not go on without
light. This journal told him at the time
he was so sure of being pressed Tor
the Governorship that the men he de-
pended on were merely using his name
as a blind. Both the Humphreys pa
per, deceased, and the Gear paper, DIS
eased, paraded his name while their
proprietors were working night ana
day for Sam Parker. Way off in Hlio
Judge Little did not know of this eX-
cept for what he saw in the Advertiser,
and our statements he simply outvoted
with the deniaIs of the other two pa
pers. Now he can see who told MN
the truth Judge Little did not deserve
such undetermined treatment as he got
but the matter of desert in the game
of machine politics generally cuts a
small figure.

= THE KURDERERs' FRIEND.

The question has arisen as to wheth-
er or not after and prior to the Terri
torial Act, there being no provision for
indictments by the grand jury, the in
dictments presented in accordance with
Hawaiian law, were valid; or. whether
indictments by a grand jury were nee
essary. Judges Humphreys and Gear
have held that although there were no
grand jury laws at that time
q grand Jury indictment was
necessary, and that all convic-
tons under indictments present
ed during the two years succeeding an
nexation and convictions had thereun-
der are invalid. This question has been
appealed to the United States court at
Washington by Territorial Attorney
General Dole. and hearing thereon has
been set for April.
Meanwhile, a score or more murder
ers, burglars, robbers and rapists are
seeking freedom through writs of ha-
beas corpus under the authority of the
local judges.
Under these circumstances the gov
eminent has caused indictments to be
brought against them through the
grand jury, which indictments are now
pending before Judge Gear.
If the contention of the Attorney
General is upheld by the Supreme
Court at Washington. then all of the
previous convictions are valid and it
viii be unnecessary to go on with a
retrial of these cases.
1t IS therefore much to be desired
that the trial Of these cases be post
poned until the result at Washington
is known. as owing to the lapse of time

the prosecution are now no longer
available. The calendar before Judge
Gear numbers several hundred cases.

Under these circumstances Attorney
General Dole has attempted to have

instead OF acquiescing in this rea-

This Sir Gilbert Launston was. for

THE LOST CHILD.
Dramatic Incident at IN Ocean
Grove Experience Meeting,


1t had been an experience meeting.
Ten thousand people were assembled
in the great auditorium by the sea.
There had been the handshake, tho
waving of handkerchiefs, the hymn,
the prayer, the word which told the
spiritual history Of many n soul.
The bishop stood upon the platform
In the act Of pronouncing the benedic-
ton. Emotion was Mt it's height. 1t
seemed as If a spiritual wave had
swept over the multitude, wrapping it
in divine caresn.
At that moment little child was
passed up to the platform, and the
bishop took 1t in his arms "Lost
child" were the whispered words. The
baby put its dimpled arms about the
bishops neck and laid it's head upon
his shoulder, it's yellow curls mingling
with his gray hair.
''Lost child" said the bishop in his
deep, sympathetic voice. "Does any one
in the audience know this baby or to
whom it belongs? Will the father or
mother come and claim it?"
There was silence, and the baby nes.
tied closer. and the women who sat
near said, ooh"
Then man was seen making his
way to the altar. 1t was the baby's IA
ther. Instantly the child stretched out
its arms to go to him. Then as he gave
1t up the bishop said:
''There are 10000 lost souls in Ocean
Grove. The Fathers arms are waiting
to receive them. So go to your Fa-
ther's outstretched arms rs has this
little child."-Detroit Free Press
