A rather curious incident occurred
in Hilo when the present new year
year was about to dawn upon that
Crescent City," while we were there,
wherein the police of the town arrest
ed certain young men for playing at
cards to while away the time of night
within the Hilo Hotel. 1t was harm
less and an innocent 25-cent-ante
game, so we were informed at the
time, among the young bachelors.
While the arrest was being made an
other more glaring gambling was go
ing on upstairs of the Volcano Sta
bles, where pool selling was being
held openly and publicly on the race
events OF the following day at which
we were present but did not take part
We say curious" because the police
overlooked very glaring and more
public gambling that was going on
openly to one of harmless and inno-
cent nature. One was affecting many
and the other only few; the many
affected being more of public char
acter and the other of only private
nature, The open one was taunt to
the public to do likewise, but the 9TH
er was quiet and out of the way, and
looked like spite work, and it was
said that complaint was duly made.
We feel sure that there must have
been some personal feeling, quite Of.
fensive, in the matter. And further
more, be it remembered, one main
cause of the non-arrest of the pool
gamblers may have been because the
Sheriff is a stockholder in the con-
ccrn, and therefore was an interested
party to all intents and purposes,
which made the function above board
and free from arrest.

DoLE's LOAN BILL.

Mr.. Charles H. Dickey, Representa-
tive for the Third District, bemoans
in the Bulletin of March 23d the fall
ure of the passage of the loan bill in
the last Legislature, and he claims
that the blame for this falls on Ed
mund Norrie and Robert Boyd, who,
he says, induced the members Of the
Legislature to leave the legislative
hall and kept them away all the even
ing of the last day of the session.
The cause for this action he attributes
to the desire on the part of the alleged
kidnappers to forcing the Governor to
call an extra session, which, however,
was not done, to the great satisfaction
of Mr.. Dickey and to the detriment Of
the Territory

that soclability is the only order for
the church to do and that 1t was solely
instituted for that purpose, within
which social preferment. distinction
and notoriety may be gained ire
spective of Christian virtues, which
we deem quite irrelevant to Scriptural
teachings. To be socially inclined
seems to be the sole order of the day
among sects and denominations other
than those catholically inclined, which
we deem reprehensible and quite out
of place as tenet Of Christianity.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-03-31

to call muchly needed extra session.
Will the honorable gentleman from
Maui explain why Mr.. Dole waited
with his loan bill until the last min
ute of the extra session? 1t should
have been the first measure intro
duced after the Legislature convened,
and not come in as an after consider
alton. No rational Legislature could
be expected to vote a large sum of
money for q government in which it
had no confidence, and for the use OF
Governor who Is not in touch with
the people at large, or enjoys the con-
fidence Of the moneyed interests here,
or of the administration at Washing
ton, which now even desires his pres
ence to give him chance to explain
why he cannot run this one-horse Ter
ritory In a harmonious manner with
the voters. Dole's explanation will OF
course De Jndt IL was BTleVOuS mis-.
take to have granted a franchise to
the people of the Territory, and he
will shake his whiskers in a doleful
manner, and tell the President that
Hawaii is not yet prepared for self
government, or it's people capable of
exercising a free franchise. And the
interesting part is that Dole, Dickey
& Co. really believe that the govern
ment of the Territory should by the
Organic Act have been arranged on
the plan of an oligarchy composed of
the moneyed and missionary classes
only. That such policy would be
entirely un-American, cuts no ice with
Dole & Co. They never we're and
never will be Americans In the true
sense of that comprehensive word.

AS far, as the candidacy of August
Dreier. is concerned, there is now no
withdrawal, and even If it is held later
that. Mr. Dreier is ineligible, one
thing we. feel sure will be shown on
the coming election day is the unpopu-
larity of Dole, which will be solely
due to his stolid stubbornnes, egged
on by the arbitrary and dictatorial
policy of the Republican party.

Mr. Dickey and his political friends
are always seeing ghosts when they
are In the Legislature, and are attrib-
uting to their opponents all kinds OF
diabolical methods and measures. 1t
Is true that the loan bill of the Dole
government, introduced in the elev-
enth hour of the session, was lost
through the failure of getting quo
rum. but this move on the part of the
Legislature was quite proper, and In
fact the only manner in which the
representatives OF the people were
able to voice effectually the want OF
confidence which the voters then, as
we'll as now, repose In Dole G. Co.'s
administration. Mr.. Dole could hard
ly expect Legislature which had no
confidence in him or his administra-
tion to enable him to continue his
maladministration of public affairs. If
he had possessed the right sense OF
his duties as a citizen he would at
once have resigned, hoping that sue
cessor to the governorship would be
appointed who had the good will and
confidence of the voters and their rep
resentatives. Mr.. Dole does not be-
long to the "resigning" class, how,
ever, as long as there are salary and
power connected with the job. He
sets the will of the people and its
representatives at naught, and now
he whines because public business is
at standstill, and throws the blame
for the empty treasury upon the Leg
islature, which expressed plainly the
want of confidence the people feels In
his administration.

August Drelrer's American natural
ization has no bearing whatever on
his candidacy, he being already a Ha-
vaiian subject by allegiance to Lii
uokalani, Queen, and as such, by an.
nexation became an American like the
rest of the unwilling Hawaiians.

But we must return to the Honor
able Dickey, who is quoted as saying
to the Bulletin interviewer In regard
to the failure of the loan bill to be-
come law, that: "This could have
been done but for the action Of Editor
Edmund Norrie and Robert Boyd.
They alone are responsible, because
they prevented the passage of the
loan bill by inducing members to leave
the chamber and by keeping them
away all the evening of the last day
of the session. We waited till past

"The Church is not political in
stitution. nor is 1t social club The
above quotation is from Bishop Willis
Easter sermon, the last delivered by
him as Bishop of Honolulu, and which
Is published in full elsewhere In this
issue. We think the remarks quite
proper and pertinent to the issues at
stake within the church, and coming
as II did at this time, on the eve Of
his retiring from this See, is quite
opportune and very much to the point,
and should receive great weight from
all right-thinking and fair-minded per-
sons of every creed and nation. There
has been too much of politics in our
church, as well as in that of other de-
nominations, which we very much
deprecate as being most Objectionable
and reprehensible in character. Glass
distinction was the first thing that
brought about dissatisfaction and dis
affection in those within the church,
followed closely by those of social
standing in order to be distinctly SO.
Then ultimately politics crept in, and
because Bishop Willis stood up for the
right of the weak, the Hawaiians, for
whom the church was sent here, he
was downed and considered no good.
Other than this, many seem to think
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1902-03-31

And still the Advertiser is most un-
relenting and venomous towards the
retiring Bishop of Honolulu, who, true
to his word. will officially retire to-
morrow. But say, who has checked
the churchs development since "over
twenty-five years ago?" Ask your own
people and friends. But to say that
"with the new dispensation a union
of forces under Bishop of Christian
character and motives" Is most des-
picable and reprehensible, showing
the nature of the beast in the compo-
sition of our contemporary.
If they had as much Christian
character as Bishop Willis little toe,
they would then show a better spirit,
that of contrition, which would be
more to the point of Christian teach
ings, thereby showing that Christian
charity of harboring no ill-will against
one who has done more than any other
man, itself included, in this commu-
nifty, for the cause that he had sol
emnly pledged himself to do for his
Lord and Master. Truth is much
harder to tell than otherwise is the
case with the makeup of the prize
fighter in the others sanctum.

Why Mr.. Dickey is glad because no
extra session was called and thereby
the administration crippled through
the poor policy of Dole, we fail to see.
1t was indeed very poor policy on
the part of the Dole-Dickey coterie,
as we predict will be proven during
the next Legislature, If Mr.. Dole
chair. Mr.. Dickey may blame two in
dividuals for the existing embarrass.
ing public conditions; the absurdity
of the accusation is so glaring that Il
could only emanate from the source it
does. If Mr.. Dickey, who is, or ought
to be by this time, practical poll
tician, was in favor of the passage of
the loan bill, he should have induced
Mr. Dole to call an extra session OF
the Legislature, notified that body of
his resignation as Governor, and be-
yond doubt the Territorial govern.
ment, If in accord with the people,
would have had all the money needed
for the administration of public af
fairs. The Dole faction cannot con
troll affairs in this Territory with the
great majority of the voters antago-
nistic to the Governor with his de-
fiant attitude towards the people of
this Territory, II he yet appears as
Governor before the next Legislature
he will find that not single measure
emanating from his administration
will be passed by the Legislature,
even If Champion Dickey is sent by
his admiring Maui constituents. We
hope Dickey will be there, because
he always brings with him breeze
of goodnatured and harmless persi
fage. Should Mr.. Dole still be Cover
nor then, he will need a champion
and although Mr.. Dickey will feel very
lonely, he will always be highly ac
ceptable to his colleagues, even If his
task of fighting the Dole cause will
prove utterly hopeless and the cham
pions efforts in vain.
