THE DIVORCE EVIL.

Not So Very Violent.

Children are the best preventive of
divorces according to statistics gath
cred by DR.. Friedrich Prinzipg, Ger
man scientist, who has devoted his life
to the study of the conditions leading
to separations and who has made a
careful examinations the reports
from all countries. The figures show
that in eases of voluntary separation
81 per. cent. of the couples have no
children. ~
The statistics also prove that
large proportion of divorces are OF
persons who married under 20 years OF
age. AS marriage has grown later,
the ratio of divorces steadily decreases.
Divorce rules highest in the sixth or
seventh year after marriage.
The number of divorces in different
countries depends, of course, largely
on creeds and laws, as well as on ma
tional temperament and morals; but.
on the whole, the proportion Of di-
vorces to the sum total of married life
is rema rkably small among the Euro.

In Japan divorce is much more COM

groes largely swell the number. Every
where it seems on the increase a
significant feature in Germany is the
growing number of divorces granted
on the ground of mutual agreement.

CONTEMPT IN MISSOURI.

Inasmuch as there can be no orderly
government without courts, respect for
the courts must be maintained: but
the courts were established to preserve
the law, not to defy it; to declare what
it is and not to make it. There has
never been any necessity in this coun-
try to pass statutes to safeguard the
dignity of the bench, except the Gus
tomary and limited provision regard
ing contempt The public naturally
yields it obedience and submits to its
mandates, While judges can always be
relied on to stand by their preroga-
tives. There is no Dogberry or Justice
Robert Shallow anywhere in the land
who may not, if he is honest and keeps
within his jurisdiction, safely trust in
the people for the protection of his
rights and honor. Public opinion, not
force, is all that is necessary to secure
him all proper respect.
The offense of contempt is defined
by section 1916 of the Revised Statutes
of Missouri. Had the legislature, the
only law-making body for the state, in
tended that contempt proceedings
should have a wider and different scope
from that specified in the statute, it
would have expressed itself in exact
words to that effect. So, to a layman,
the contempt law as now construed is
purely court made law
The law as it now stands is extreme
ly unfortunate in several respects u
applies alike to the supreme court and
| TO justices of the peace. Truth cannot
be pleaded in justification, and there
| is no appeal. A judge may be scandal
| lously drunk on the streets with i'm
| punity. He may be detected riding on
a railroad pass contrary to law. He
.ay turn boodlers and bribers loose
| lie may befoul his record with every
| ind of corruption. and then take the
Jolitical field as an aspirant for office

OF CURRENT INTEREST.
The COURTS Exceptional Tact.

Postmaster General Payne was de-

who had been noted for his kind
heart.
Il attended one day." said Mr..
Payne, "a session of the court at
which this judge presided. The court
crier was a very old man: he had
served with fidelity for many years,
but age was beginning now to tell on
him. He fell asleep while I was in
the court house, and in a little while
he was snoring.
His SHORES, OF course, disturbed the
proceedings of the court. The judge
displayed great tact in interrupting
them without embarrassing the crier.
"'Crier Jones' he said in a loud
voice. 'Crier Jones, some one is

'Silence.' he exclaimed. There
must be no snoring in the court room,

TRUST INVESTMENTS.

The most noteworthy event in the
local financial world during the past
week was the formal approval by the
Probate Court of the bonds of the Pho
neer Mill Company, Ltd, as proper
found the plantation to be in pros
porous condition, with clear assets over
all liabilities amounting to $5,426, 45S.
This is a splendid showing, and Off
cially fixes the status of Pioneer as one
of the solid investments of the Terri
tory. Pioneer is, in name, one of the
oldest plantations in the islands. Since
annexation, however, it has been so
greatly enlarged, improved and
developed, that it is practically
a new plantation. The company
has shown great energy and
ingenuity in the development of the wa
ter supply. A large stream is being
brought from Honokohau, the north
west point of the island, to the fields
Back of Kaanapali series of tunnels
into the mountain have been run, re-
sulting in a flow, at an elevation of
several hundred feet, of several mil
lions of gallons of water a day. This
water is used to generate electricity,
which is conveyed to pumps at low
levels and used to elevate surface well
water for the lower fields. After gener-
ating the electricity, the same water is
itself used for irrigation. These new
sources of water have greatly increased
the capacity of the plantation, while
decreasing the pro rata cost of irriga-
ton.
1t is of The greatest benefit to the
Territory to have safe investments of
this character in which trust funds
may be invested, as the number of To-
cal estates, trust companies and other
investing concerns of a similar charac-
ter, with moneys to loan, is constantly
increasing. With approved bonds at
home, which can be purchased, the
money will stay here; otherwise it is
liable to go abroad

BRITISH IMPERIAL UNION.

Mr.. Chamberlain's lifework is to in
vent a. bond of unity between England
and her colonies. The need Of it was
foreseen long ago when Cecil Rhodes
premier of Cape Colony, wrote 10 Sir
John A. Macdonald, premier of Canada,
saying: Can we invent some tie with
our mother country that will prevent
separation? 1t must be a practical one,
for future generations will not be born
in England" Neither of these great
men devised a workable plan of union
and when Mr.. Chamberlain took up the
task in the colonial conference he found
that the home ruling British posses
sions would not consent to be bound by
that complete political solidarity, in
volving seats in Parliament for the
British uitlanders, would not be &C
cepted by the minority constituting the
present voters of the United Kingdom.
So the British Empire remains con-
federacy waiting for the supreme test
of war which would either consolidate
Or disunite it. AS to the probabilities
growing out of state of war between
Great Britain and some power or DOW
ers of equal or superior strength, OBJ
servers differ. Loyalists and optimists
point to the enrolment of Canadians
and Australians for the Boer war as
a sign of what might be expected
should England ever stand at bay; but
colder patriots affirm that a war on
wide enough scale to actually menace
not only Great Britain but her colo
MES would, if the crisis were grave, i'm
pei the latter to secession and an in
dependent status. This course would
be taken, if at all, to save the colo
mics, in case England were beaten,
from becoming part of an enemy's
spoiIs of war. Should the colonies, on
the other hand, throw their whole
strength, for better or for worse, on
England's side, compact, powerful
and worldwide union might be ex-
pected to follow the success of the joint |
undertakings of the field. The instinct |
Of self-preseryation would suggest it.
But argument will not bring soli-
darity about any more than it did be- !
tween the thirteen American colonies |
a common peril is the precedent state.

How the President is Guarded.

1t is noticeable that during the presi-
dents stay at Sycamore Hill it is more
difficult to reach him than it was when
he was in the White House. A secret
service man is stationed about 100 feet
from the house, and he stops visitors to
inquire if they have engagements with
Mr.. Roosevelt. If they have he COM
pares their names with those on a list
which has been given him, and if there
is no disagreement the strangers are
allowed to pass; otherwise they are
referred to the secretary's office down
town. Under no circumstances are
cards taken in unless an appointment
has been made.

Photographed by Lightning.

A boy who was killed in the Bronx
recently by lightning had the likeness
of a fern imprinted on his body by the
shock. A similar incident is reported
from Europe. During a shooting COM
petition at Pont, in the Canton Vaud,
the other day, the grandstand was
struck by lightning, and twenty-five
persons received shocks, from which,
however, they sustained but little
physical injury. One most singular
effect, however, remained. Every per-
son who had felt the electric shock
had, photographically stamped, upon
the back, the face or the arms, the
reflection of the pine trees behind the
firing line.

BECKLEY AND THE HOME RULERS.

Speaker Beckley impresses this paper
means well for Hawaii and all its
people, white and brown. That he
went off on a tangent against the
whites in the matter of the Immigra-
ton Commissioner need not stand
against him in view of his quick recov-
cry of common sense and his reversal
of the anti-haole course. Taking his
legislative record as whole it is the
best made by any Hawaiian since the
Territory began. Many good meas
ures and few if any doubtful ones owe
their success in the Legislature to Mr..
Beckley's work and counsel.
a man of this character has no bust
ness in the Home Rule party He be-
longs with the best men of his race
in the Republican party. The Home
Rulers are like the congregation of
malcontents and soreheads that gath
cred. as the Bible says, in the cave
of Adullam. Whenever man be-
comes so questionable that neither the
Republican nor the Democratic party
of Hawaii will harbor him he joins the
Home Rule party. If he is an ex-em-
bezzler his welcome there is all the
more enthusiastic, as Of one who
knows the way to green pastures ana
hidden hordes. Given sidetracked
man or one who is ignorant or preJu-
diced and full of simple credulity,
weak or a bad man and he takes to
the Home Rule party as naturally as
a pig to the wallowing in the mire
In such a company a Wilcox, Motley,
a Boyd, a Bill White, Kumalae and
a Kalauokalani may thrive as blind
leaders of the blind; but it is no more
a place for a man like Beckley than 1t
is for Delegate Kuhio, or Mark Robin
son or Henry Smith or Kepoikai or any
other real leader of the native people.
