Danes and Germana-

The character and temperament of
the population of north Sleswick a.
very quiet and peaceable. As an o.
fetal Prussian record of criminal cases
states. there is in the whole German
empire no single province in which so
few sentences are passed by the Grim
inal judges as in north Sleswick.
There were only half the Prussian aver.
age of theft cases and cases of robbery
with murder and m~urderous assault.
These favorable crime statistics are
due principally to the good bringing up
n intelligence of the middle and
lower classes as well as to the cordial
and harmonious family life of the Dan
ish population. Among the individual

First Methodist Lay FAB
lowed In n Year by Twenty.
The societies met on Sundays, but
never at the hour of church service.
and, when neither Wesley nor n
other clergyman was present, spent
the hour in prayer and religious con
versation or exhortation. From ex-
hortation before the society to formal
preaching before 1t was only a step.
but to Wesley 1t seemed "a very long
step.
While In Bristol he learned, one day
in 1879, that one OF his converts,
Thomas Maxfield. had beer preaching
before the Foundry society. He hur-
ried up to London to stop Il. But his
mother, who since the death OF her
husband had been living in a room OF
the Foundry building, met him with
a protest. John, take care what you
do with reference to that young man.
for he is as surely called to preach as
you are" Admonished by this coun
sci from one whose caution on all
churchly matters he knew e be quite
equal to his own. Wesley reluctantly
consented To- hear MaXfeld preach.
After listening. he exclaimed: ut IL

Bell Ringing In London In 1

Here is an extract from n journal of
the year 1909: On arriving in London
we heard a great ringing Of bells in
almost all the churches going on very
late in the evening. We were informed
that the young people do that for the
sake of exercise and amusement, and
sometimes they pay considerable sums
as a wager who will pull a bell the
longest and ring it in the most ap-
proved fashion. Parishes spend much
money in tremendously sounding bells.

best bells. The old queen is said to
have been pleased very much by this
exercise, considering it as n sign Of the
health of the people. They do not ring
the bells for the dead. When Il person
lies In agony the bells of the parish
he belongs to are touched with the
clappers until he either dies or recov-
ers again. AS soon as this sign ia
given everybody in the street as well
as in the houses falls on his knees Of
fering prayer for the sick person.

A. a. WILDER
S. II. DERBY.

The disadvantages of allowing writs
of error by which cases may be taken
from our Supreme Court to the Supreme
Court of the United States are obvious.
Such legislation would delay litigation
and enormously increase it's cost; it
would be unsuited to our geographical
situation; it would put a dangerous
weapon in the hands of the wealthy
litigant, and it would take away the
statehood which was granted US as
regards judicial matters. The reasons
for such a provision in other territories
do not and cannot apply to territory
with a body of law some 60 years old.
Moreover, the Supreme Court of the
United States would be at great dis
advantage in passing on cases involv-
ing local conditions in Hawaii. A resi-
dent of the mainland is more or less
familiar with conditions in Oklahama,
New Mexico and Arizona, but about
Hawaii his ignorance is proverbial.
!, Almost equally unfortunate is the
provision by which our judges may be
appointed from the mainland. This
legislation, while it might be boon to
the Western Senators, with patronage
to distribute, is an intimation that this
Territory is untitled for self govern
ment. S. II. DERBY.

E. p. DOLE

Honolulu, T. H, Nov. 9th, 1908.
For fifty-five years Hawaiian courts
have administered prompt and mex
pensive justice, with purity and ability
equal to average courts in American
States. To extend general rights of APP
peal to a court six thousand miles away
will make much of our litigation mat
ter of years instead of months, at a
cost of thousands of dollars instead of
hundreds. 1t will benefit lawyers and
perhaps rich corporations; but, to
great extent. it will be a denial Of JUS
tice to people of moderate means.
I think appointment of territorial OFF,
Gals from among citizens of the Terri
tory, as now provided by the Organic
Act, is conducive to good government
in a community like this, whose civili-
zation is more than sixty years old.
E. P DOLE,
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-12-01
c. R. HEMENwAY.

The amendment to the Organic Act
allowing mainland appointees to fill
judicial and executive positions here
will, if it becomes law, mark a back
ward step in the progress of the Terri
tory. It will be. practically a declara-
ton, that local appointments have been
failures and that this community is in
capable of self-government. The cri-
terion by which such offices should he
filled is, of course, the fitness of the
men appointed, irrespective of their
birthplaces or places of residence. BY
opening the way for appointments from
the entire country, however, the liken-
hood of this criterion being recognized
would be much smaller than at present,
and the "spoiIs system with all it's
attendant evils would be put into oper-
alton here.
The allowance of appeals or writs of
error from our Supreme Court to that
of. the United States, as proposed,
would be, in my opinion, great evil,
for the one reason that it would prac-
tically deny justice to the poor man
when involved in litigation with the
rich because Of the great expense nee
essary. c. r. HEMENWAY.

W. W. THAYER

We have enough able men in these
Islands to fill our bench and our exc
cutive offices without sending to the
mainland. Appointees from elsewhere
would come to Hawaii entirely ignorant
of conditions and customs here, and
with many preconceived ideas of the
Islands and their people which it would
be difficult to eradicate. For it is un-
fortunate but true that the average I'M
travelled American thinks of the Islands
only as the abode of semi-civilized alb
origines, and can scarcely believe the
statement that Honolulu was pros
porous town before San Francisco ex-
listed save as mission. Senator Mitch
ellis proposed amendment OF the Or
ganic Act would put Hawaii in prac-
tically the same position as Porto Rico
and the Philippines, and it's result
would be to put the government of the
Islands in the hands of men whose
principal qualification for office would
be their political pull, and who would
know little and care less for Hawaii or
her people.
AS to the amendment permitting ap-
