tai strain the guilty man admits his
wrong-doing.
From time immemorial to now, under
reform and ring rule, in every city OF
the United States there have been used
all these methods to secure evidence
which will convict. There have been
men who rallied against the methods
employed, good men, too, but never has
there been from the bench, until here,
a threat that the men who thus secured
society against the operations of Grim
mails would be made to suffer for their
activity.
The constitution was based upon the
protection of society from offenders
not framed to safeguard the criminal
against the evidence which he gives of
his misdeeds. The men who framed
that great instrument were of the
stripe who would themselves go to
lengths to help convict the guilty, and
not lightly would they have permitted
to pass them any provision which could
be construed to punish the detector OF
ill-doers. Even if the seeming letter of
the fundamental law of the land might
be construed as is done by the local
Solomon" the fact remains that in
every civilized community the law
breaker is considered the outlaw, and
every mans hand is against him. The
pickpocket caught in the street is held
by the men of the crowd and Nd one
proceeds against his captors for ''un-
warranted seizure" they being civil
ians. Even if they search his pockets
there is no cry of unlawful activity,
society recognizes the necessity for
quick and secret work, applauds the
ready man who secures evidence before
the thief can dispose of it, and it seems
to be a stretching, almost to the break
ing point of the endurance of a COM
munity, to see the men who guard
against law breakers. dragooned from
the bench. under cover of the hard
worked constitution OF the United
States

HOME RULE INCONSISTENCY.

1t il n remarkable fact that mar
representing a distinctively Home Rule
movement as Delegate wilcox is pre-
sumed to be doing, should frame a pol
icysfor Hawaii in Congress which ut
terIy contravenes the Home Rule prin-
ciple.
Home Rule, if it means anything
here, stands for the control of the do
mestic affairs of Hawaii by the citizens
of the Territory. Yet Mr.. Wilcox is
forever Introducing bills that touch our
most intimate concerns and which pre-
suppose federal and not local control of
island administration. Instead of wait
ing for the Legislature to pass and the
Governor to sign city and county
bill, he tries to get one from Congress.
He consults nobody here; instead, he
accepts suggestions from strangers
which would, if enacted into law, prove
imperative under our special condi-
lions. Ali the people who want home
rule can know when laws are proposed
for their government, comes in the dis
patches announcing their introduction
by the Home Rule Delegate or in the
text. arriving by mail, of the measures
themselves.
The school bill Is another instance |
wherein Wilcox has violated the Home |
Rule spirit, If not the letter of his own |
pledges. The people of Hawaii have not |
asked for changes in the school laws,
and If they ever want any they are
competent to get them from the Legis-
lature. while that body, in turn,
Is competent to make such
changes. But these facts count
for nothing with the Home Rule dele
gate. Asking no advice here and hav-
ing no special knowledge of our school
system himself, he borrows an Illinois
law, gives ii an Hawaiian title and
preamble and puts 1t into the Congress
sional hopper That it contains clauses
providing for the purchase of fuel for
In a land of perpetual
summer is only one of the absurdities
which. in the name of Home Rule, Mr..
Wilcox proposes to foiSt upon Hawaii
by dint OF the Federal authority.
Another instance is afforded by thel
leper bill. The care Of the lepers is a
Territorial matter. yet Wilcox wants to
turn 1t over to the United States. Civ
IN an enacting power the delegate
would soon reduce Hawaii from the
position of Territory of the United
States to that of an appanage of Con-
sress. like the District of Columbia;
and do 1t IN the intervals Of making
pledges of fealty to the Home Rule par

PLAYING FOR APPLAUSE.

From time immemorial there has
been in almost every community one
official. who by constant, though not
always consistent, harping upon one
subject or phase OF conditions, has
made himself the low comedian in the
drama of government. This end has
almost, II not quite, been reached by
the Second Judge of the First Circuit,
who awakes from his judicial slumbers
occasionally to launch philippics
against a bugaboo which has haunted
his uneasy maps, the violation of a con-
stitutional provision.
Personal liberty seems the hobby of
Judge Gear, and he has ridden so far
and fast that the idea has taken pos
session of his brain that the detection
of criminals must be absolutely open
and above board, so that there can be
no suspicion of scheming attached to
the methods of those who will safe
guard the public peace. Before any at
tempt is made to fasten crime upon a
suspect then il would be proper to
serve notice upon him, and permit him
TO protect himself by destroying evil
dence and preparing his alibi.
The latest outbreak of the somnolent
turist Is an attack upon the men, who,
stolen goods, searched their quarters,
and. 1t seems, found the articles, which
resulted in a verdict of guilty when a
jury heard the evidence From the
critical remarks of the Judge he seems
unaware that the common practice of
those who would punish crime Is the
immediate searching for evidence OF
thefts IN the apartments OF the accus-
ed Ihus In the case of the burglary
VI the store the men who were on the
spot without waiting for the arrival Of

warrant went after the men suspect

NO" comes the judiciary and tells
these volunteer detectives that they
were violating to the last degree tho
constitution OF the United States in
mus hnding a criminal: that they
should have waited and followed tho
req tape course. Also that in the flu
tare there must be no evidence secured
unlaWfully." It will be with great re-
Joicing that they have not jurists az

to a window through which the SUM-
light streamed. On the floor were pans
for the insects to breed in, and they
were kept in excellent health and spir-
it's by diet of fresh bananas.
When the roaming anopheles, as this
fever mosquito is called, started out to
crafty his esthetic taste for food he
found grand variety of color schemes.
Seventeen boxes stood one on top of the
other and open to the light, and within
each box was a lining of some solid
hue upon a rough surface. 1t is stated
that the order of the boxes was chang
ed each day of the experiment to equal
lie the exposure and that the count for
seventeen days summed up as follows:
One hundred and eight mosquitoes
were found in the navy blue box, so in
the dark red box, 81 in reddish brown
box, SO in the scarlet box, 40 in the
black box. There was at this point a
sharp drop to 81 in a slate gray box
and "a in an olive green box. Violet,
leaf green and full blue boxes had re-
spectively IS, II and IA. Pearly gray
had 9, pale green 4, light blue 8, ochre
and white each, orange 2. and pale
yellow about the color of khaki none at
all.
These results correspond quite closely
with experiments and observations
elsewhere.
In India it has been found that the
anopheles prefers black coats to white
ones. In Madagascar it has been no.
ticed that he takes to a black soil in
preference to a red one, and that he
viii hardly touch yellow dog when a
black one is near by. The conclusion
of the whole matter is that we may
regulate our mosquitoes by our choice
of colors. and that the yellow dog is a
favorite OF Providence, immune in his
natural garb. independent of changing
fashions. and so blessed above those
who make mock of him.

MOSQUITOES AND COLOR.

The Chicago Record Herald has this
to say on a subject of standing inter
est locally:
Experiments that have been made by
Italian. British and American scien-
lists have proved beyond a doubt that
the mosquito is transmitter of fever
germs. and both in this country and in
Great Britain attention has been called
to the prediction of the insect for
certain colors. The subject Is one OF
practical as well as Of curious interest.
and the results OF the Investigations
that have gone into the color question
may be indicated by the report of a
very thorough test at Cambridge. Eng
land, which appears in the London
Times.
The place selected for the observa-
lions was a Photographic studio. There
the mosquitoes were confined within a
