LEGISLATIVE cARELESSNEsS,

In these days when legislative short
comings furnish leading topics of the
hour, there is at least some satisfaction
in finding that there are others. Gov
ernor PannypaCker of the great State
of Pennsylvania became so wrought up
over the Carelessness of the Legislature
in framing bills sent before him for
signature that he gave formal notice
of his refusal to sign all bills which
were not dramatically written and
lucid in composition and construction.
Referring to this incident in Penn
sylvania legislation the Minneapolis
journal calls attention to a muss the
Minnesota legislature made of a game
and fish commission law recently
passed. 1t says: "In this case the leg
islature has adopted a very important
general law that contains conflicting
paragraphs as TO who the game and
fish commissioners shall be. In one
place this botched law recognizes the
old commissioners as still in Office. and
in another directs the governor i'm
mediately to appoint new commission
ers. There is absolutely no excuse for
such a blunder. A tired out newspaper
man with fifteen minutes in which to
prepare half a column of copy would
never make such an error as that II
our Legislators are too busy to ascer-
tain whether their laws mean anything
or not, they ought to engage the ser.
vices of a clear-headed grammarian and
logician whose duty it would be to see
that the laws say what they try to say
and to eliminate Inconsistencies.
A great deal has been said of Ha-
waits legislative Carelessness, which
is heralded by some as an evidence
Of Hawaii's legislative incompetence.
There has been enough errors to war
rant general endorsement of the Jour
nails views on what legislatures should
do in framing their laws. 1t Is also
true that our Legislature has not in its
most excited or hasty moments pro-
dpced such an exhibition of slovenly
work as the Journal charges up against
the Minnesota solons. Hawaii, with
all its failings, can give few lessons
to its elder brethren who have reached
the advanced elevation of citizenship
which entities them to Statehood. The
conclusion to be drawn Is that this
Territory, with some of the States,
needs to take greater care in framing
its laws. also that this Territory is not
always as bad as it is painted when
compared with dignifed, experienced
States.

Torrens law. The credit for drafting
this law and adapting it to local condi-
lions is due Mr.. Weaver and c. II. Mer-
riam of the Registrars office. Others
assisted but the careful, painstaking
labor necessary to put the law in shape
for the statute books was performed by
these gentlemen and It is just to con-
clude that they are best able to carry
out its provisions. particularly when
inaugurating a system with which very
few in this Territory are acquainted.
The Bulletin believes the law to be a
good one and there is every reason
why it should be administered by Off
cials who come to their task equipped
with some degree of experience and a
large measure of careful study.

Commissioner Sargent has come and
gone. He has impressed citizens OF
Honolulu as being a vigorous plain
spoken man who knows his business
and does not waste time talking about
it. Probably the most impressive re-
mark made by Mr.. Sargent was his per-
sonal expression Of appreciation for the
many courtesies extended him and an
equally positive statement that he
wished It distinctly understood that
the kindly attentions would in no way
influence his conclusions on the situa-
tion in this Territory. He has not been
free with his announcement OF conclu-
sions but 1t is safe to say that Com
missioner Sargent has no intention of
using a knife that will rip through the
back of the Territory from Hawaii to

Third Avenue Line vii! Not Be oper.

Work of Paving.
It has been decided that the cars OF
the Marshalltown Light, Power & Rail
way Company will not he operated for
a time, probably next week. when the
preliminary work of the paving is be-
ing carried on. The Barber people
have insisted that the street car COM
pany consent to the placing of six inch
es of concrete under the ties of the en-
tire line where the asphalt is to be laid.
The street car company considered that
loose stone or cinders would answer the
purpose and cost less. The Barber peo-
pie took the matter before the council
Thursday, and 1t was decided that con-
crete be used. The city wants the best
job of paving possible, and the Barber
company is also DESTROYS of obtaining
the best results. 1t claims it can not
do satisfactory paving On streets hav-
ing car lines II concrete is not placed
under the ties. Representatives of the
company cite Third street. where the
rails have already begun to settle. 1t
is thought 1t will be about eight days
before the cars can run after the work
is begun, which will probably be some
time next week.

GRAND JURY HARD AT WORK.
May Make Partial Report This Week
-lnvestiaatina Conditions.

Investigating Conditions.
The grand jury for the March term Of
the district court is working harder
than usual, and it may be possible that
a partial report will be made late this
afternoon or tomorrow. Not only the
cases that have been bound over are
being considered, but new work. In the
shape of Investigations concerning
houses of Ill repute and gambling re-
sorts is being taken up. The grand
jury is not conducting Investigations
piece meal, but is going into it thor
oughly, with the idea of acting if 1t is
possible to obtain proper information
leading to indictments.
The grand jury Is finding 1t hard to
obtain certain information that is de-
sirable, no matter how hard it tries.
1t is estimated that forty witnesses
have been examined on conditions said
to exist in the city. These witnesses
come not from any one class. but from
all. Merchants and other business men,
bankers. doctors, lawyers. ministers OF
the gospel, peace officers, newspaper
men, and, in fact, men In all lines of
business are being asked what they
know, and as yet the grand jury has
found out but little that it can bank on
as positive information. 1t is an easy
matter, the jury finds. for people to
think they know. but when they are
pinned down to absolute facts. and are
compelled to swear to them, it is an
other proposition.
The grand jury is anxious to probe
the situation to the bottom. 1t is in
earnest, and anyone who has informa-
ton. whether subpoenaed or not, may
have an opportunity to tell what he
knows. A subpoena will be issued for
anyone, including those who have made
statements that Marsllalltown is the
worst hell hole" in the state, if he can
give the positive information wanted.
