Jury to the section of Iwilei which has
long since been closed and its stock

injunction was issued, lately became so
notorious that the police raided it. ar
resting inmates whom the District
Court convicted.
Believing as we do in the sincerity
of Judge Gear as a moral reformer we
do not need to suggest that he call the
Grand Jury before him once more and
revise his instructions.
As the present Grand Jury was
drawn by Judge Gears bailiff. we as
sumo that it was by another inadver-
tence that the secretary of the Gear

1t IS not likely that serious attempt

vested interests, milk the treasury,
draw the color line and conduct such
scandalous Legislature as the one they
had last year. they are in for rude
awakening both at Washington and at
