WILL START WORK.

Now that the House has passed an
item appropriating money to assist in
the dissemination Of knowledge con-
corning Hawaii, and that the Chamber
of Commerce has begun the setting to
the credit of the Tourist committee of
cash from the wharf tax, there prom
ises to be realization Of the hopes of
some of those who have chung hard and
fast to the theory that through adver-
Using our climate and lands will come
prosperity and plenty.
There is in existence committee
which is hard at work on the prelim-
inaries, has now under it's considera-
ton things of value, awaiting only the
touch of gold to bring the projects into
life, and 1t is safe to say that these
men, everyone of whom has had to do
largely with the advance of Hawaii re-
Gently, will not go astray in getting the
best ideas into shape for attracting
people to these shores.
The work is behind hand the season
IN California has been one of uneXam-
pied prosperity, but it is never we'll to
regret, but to press forward. There is
a short season still ahead of our peo-
pie 1t might be wise to attempt at once
to secure a hearing from the tourists
yet in the West and from this start a
work which will reach the travellers of
next year before they have made up
their itineraries.

THE BATTLE WITH VICE.

The value of the police raid as
means Of depressing vice is not meas
ured by its results in court. 1t Is often
difficult to get evidence, especially
against the keepers of disorderly houses
of the new uptown type, and on that
account charges made in court are apt
to fail. Nevertheless II the raids are
persistent and continuous they prove
remedy of themselves in that they
frighten away patrons. The latter
know that, IL they are caught In the
police net, they will be summoned as
witnesses and that their names Will be
likely to see print. The fear thus In
spired is enough to keep them at dis
lance.
The mistress OF the principal city
. Joint knew this when, on opening her
place, she took pains to assure the ten
derloin public that there would be no
, raids by the police. She said she had
.. things fixed" that no annoyance need
be expected from the law or it's officers.
That was the one point which the wom-
an dwelt upon, and she made 1t clear,
without intending to do so, that II the
police did their duty she would have
to close her establishment.
IN, Precisely the same thing is true Of
other disreputable resorts in Honolulu,
. the existence of which has been long
known to the FOUNDERS" of the CITY,
They profess, one and all, to enjoy
police protection. Assuming that they
do not get it, they see such business
advantages in protesting to as to again
make the point that police raids are
what they dread and fear most.
Doubtless many of them feel at ease
over the possible results in court. I'm
der our technical practice where the
guilty are held to be innocent even
after the moral certainty OF their guilt
is plain and where, as in disorderly
house cases, a prosecuting witness must
incriminate himself to get conviction,
the keepers of disreputable places have
little cause for anxiety in court. But
that is not the point with them. 1t is
to keep their patrons free from anxiety
when visiting their places. And to Sc
cure that boon the police must let them
alone. BE to my faults a little blind
is their plea to the guardians of the
law.
Summing up the whole thing, we
have the concrete proposition that the |
police, If they choose, can make or |
ganized vice Improbable. From a con-
versation with the High Sheriff we be- |
lieve that he will act along those lines. |
He now has a wide-awake Attorney |
General behind him who will prosecute |
offenders with earnestness and zeal. |
That of itself is a strong encourage |
ment Public opinion-the only kind OF |
public opinion worth any mans while |
to cultivate-is also with him. But |
most of all is the definite placing of |
responsibility for the continuance of |
the organized trade of vice in this city |
upon the High Sheriffs shoulders. That |
of itself should be enough to inspire
his best efforts.

LEGISLATIVE LICENSE,

License in speech on the floor Of the
Legislature has become such a feature
that 1t Is seemly when a thoughtful
| member Of the House takes occasion,
as did Mr.. Chillingworth yesterday, to
call attention to the great wrong which
is done unoffending men, by the abuse
of the legislative privilege. And not
strangely 1t was the same member who
has been guilty of the practice before
who offended. '.''
Grocer kumalae, anxious as always
to win any fight in which he embarks,
and up in arms against the insertion
OF the word Responsible" as qualify
ing adjective in connection with bidders
for government contracts, told how he
had heard that one head of department
had declared that he would give con-
tracts where he would, despite legisla-
tive restriction. Called to account he
shielded himself behind the privilege
which is his; took the statement of the
Fourth district member, that he per-
sonally challenged the truth of the
statement. smrkingly leaving every
head of department under his imputa-
ton OF dishonesty, in his effort to keep
the word responsible" out of the bill.
And he was successful.
In all honesty it would appear to be
time for the calling off Of such kind of
vote-getting speeches. Has a member
no Just cause, none where argument
righteous and plainforward will pre-
vail? Must the men who serve the gov
eminent and people, at the very least
as judiciously as has Kumalae, be SUBJ
jected to such imputations and yet pre-
vented from hearing a specific charge
or meeting SANDER? Mr.. Chilling
worth took up the gauntlet as becomes
a fair man, flung his defiance and from
the weak attempt to evade satisfied
every one present that there was no
proof at the hand of the accusing men,
Der. 1t was not only a personal VIC
tory for Chillingworth. but left Kuma-
lac without some of the friends who
had been his heretofore.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1903-05-15
THE VOUCHERS.

The proposal OF some OF the legisla-
cannot come from honest men. II
means, IL anything, that the vouchers
would, IL published, involve members
In trouble with the law. One of the
suddenly prosperous Statesmen is
quoted as saying that, to publish the
vouchers, would blacken the native
character" Very likely; but to burn
them on that pretext would blacken II
still more, for then there would be no
limit to the suspicion Of rascality in
the public mind.
That the danger of destroying the
vouchers is real may be judged from
precedent as well as current threats.
Inquiry at the office of the Secretary
of the Territory shows that the vouch-
ers of expenditure of the Home Rule
legislature are missing; and 1t Is learn
ed from Home Rulers themselves that
the tell-tale archives were burned.
The Advertiser hopes that some
honest Representative will offer reso-
luton to publish the vouchers. That
would have the excellent result Of
showing. by the vote, who wants them
burned. and who are not afraid to have
them published.
The grand jury might properly take
hand in the affair by sending for
persons and papers. Conceding that
legislators. unless accused Of felony,
could not be forced during the session
through fear Of arrest. to obey a grand
jury subpoena, 1t is still worth while
to put them on record as refusing to
further the interests of justice. Moth
ing should be left undone to direct pub
lie attention to the culprits, whoever
they may be. If Hawaii is. going to
have honesty in office, official rogues
must be branded SO that people will
remember them.

COMMISSIONER SARGENT.
1.-THE oHicial and Commercial Record. i


! The visit of the Commissioner of I'M
migration to Honolulu is timely and
valuable.
1t enables him to see for himself the
labor conuilions and necessities from
his own standpoint, and to hear at first
hand the opinions of all classes here
concerning the subject. He has met
the planters, the merchants the me-
chanics and the laborers, has heard
what they have to say, and had an
opportunity to check their statements
by his own observations.
Mr. Sargent talks freely and frank
ly. He has clear cut views, and ex-
presses them without hesitation.
One of the things that has impressed
him is that while the eastern portion
of the United States is being swamped
with immigrants-nearly 100, 900 arrived
in March last-the west coast is receiv-
ing but few, while Hawaii is receiving
practically none. The arrivals are but
few and the departures about offset
them. AS many japanese depart as
arrive. No Chinese are coming, while
many are going, and their diminishing
numbers are not offset by the sprink-
ling of Koreans who are coming. Prac-
tically no other nationalities are avail
able as immigrants to Hawaii, the ex-
pense of passage from Europe being
practically prohibitory.
An illustration of Mr.. Sargent's prac-
tical nature is the fact that he took
off his coat, donned overalls, went into
cane field and stripped cane so that
he might know for himself what the
work was like. He is probably the first
federal official who ever turned planta-
ton laborer. 1t is understood that when
Mr.. Sargent caught his second wind
and got the perspiration out of his
cane field, he remarked that stripping
cane was no job for a white man. In
fact it is understood that Mr.. Sargent
Is convinced that the labor necessities
of the Territory require the admission
OF Chinese laborers, under such ar
rangements as will confine them to
agricultural labor and secure their de-
portation when they no longer engage
therein. care being taken that admis-
sion to Hawaii does not confer the right
to proceed to the mainland.
The people of Hawaii welcome Mr..
Sargent and wish that more federal
officials would visit them. knowledge
of our conditions is helpful to us. We
suffer more from ignorance than from
anything else. Seeing is knowing. We
are glad to know that Mr.. Sargent in
tends to return to Hawaii again in
December next.
