his case, except that he is not lawyer
and does not profess to be a great orator?
Would he not be free as Mr.. Rayner
from improper influences? He would
have no temptations to play to the gal
leries, in order to increase reputation
for eloquence. nor in the heat of such
debate as that faculty stimulates, say
things so irritating and biting as to
drive away those who might be open to
more quiet and conservative argument.
Now why should Mr.. Rayner be
more useful as colleague to Mr..
German than anyone else-Governor
Smith, for instance, at whom the San
manifestly aims? Mr.. Smith has been
steady in his business and no less
steady in his devotion and work for his
party. He has not ceased his efforts to
promote the Democratic party, when he
was not a candidate, nor gone to "his
tent" when he did not succeed in his
political aspirations. as did Mr. Rayner
when he was candidate for the nomi-
nation for Governor several years ago.
Governor Smith has exhibited none of
that unbridled Remuneration of others
who did not agree with him. which has
been attributed to Mr.. Rayner, who for
instance, is charged with saying in the
BRYAN campaign that "none but lunatics,
idiots" etc.. advocated the silver plat
form of the Democratic party, thus
putting his own wisdom and opinion
most extensively against the majority of
his party, and denouncing several
million of his fellow citizens as ''luna-
tics and idiots" because they disagreed
with him in his views of political
economy. Nor has Governor Smith. at
any time exhibited so much heat and
egotistic demand as it is said Mr..
Rayner did IN the Schley case, to the
detriment of his clients interest with
the Tribunal he was addressing. On
the other hand, Governor Smith is cool
and deliberate in his Judgment and
action. In the Senate what is needed is
calm, determined action-not impulsive
denunciation. In these solid qualities,
this paper, with the highest regard for
the qualities in which Mr.. Rayner ex-
cells. thinks honestly that Governor
Smith is entitled to the superiority. He
is in these respects safer more reliable
than Mr.. Rayner-not liable to be
carried away in the flood tide of
irresistible oratory-and therefore. the
better man for the position they both
covet.
And now to return a moment to the
San editorial. The Sun is fond of boast
ing of its age-and one of the infirmi-
ties of age is the failure of memory.
We did not think our esteemed and
ancient contemporary, however, had so
short memory. How long since its
columns were full of derogatory articles
about that Senator German it now
eulogizes?
If our memory had failed us in the
matter we should have been very
forcibly reminded of the denunciation
of the Senator by the Sun from reading
few weeks ago the extracts from it's
editorials used as campaign material
against the Democratic party by the
Republican campaign committee. Now
the sam tries to bait Senator German
with boneyed epcomiums. What
beautiful illustration of the spider and
the fly.
Will Mr.. German come into the
parlor?
We reckon not.

CHINESE HAD TO
RETURN THE BABY

An amusing and characteristic
incident of oriental type occurred
on Maui, last week. A Japa-
nese woman in Kula deserted her hus-
band and infant child and the hus-
band, not feeling able to cope with
his increased parental duties, sold the
babe for $50 to a neighboring Chinaman
and his wife who had taken a fancy
to the little tot. The deserving wife,
learning that the babe had been dis
posed of, summoned the assistance Of
a number of her countrymen who went
to Makena and found the husband just
as he was on the point of embark
ing for Hawaii. He was compelled to
return to Kula and tell what he had
done with the baby. The party then
accompanied him to the home of the
Chinese where he was compelled to re-
fund the purchase price of the child
who was restored to its rightful moth
err, to the fearful regret of its new
parents.-Maui News.

DAVIS GETS OFF
THE BENCH AT LAST

George Davis sent his resignation as
yesterday afternoon about four o'clock.
Secretary Halves practically stated
that 1t was the resignation of Davis,
but after consultation with Governor
Dole said that the document would not
| be given out without the permission Of
It's writer.
| Davis did not have much choice in
the matter, however, for though the
Governor appoints the district magis-
trates the Supreme Court and Circuit
Judges have the power of removal.
Section Ills of the Civil Laws pro-
vides:
1.-THE District Magistrates shall hold
Office for the term of two years from
date of their respective commissions;
provided, however, that any District
Magistrate may be removed from office
for cause by the Supreme Court or by
the Circuit Judge of the judicial dis
trict in which the Magistrate complain
ed of is situated"
Davis wrote his resignation In the
clerks office at the Police Station and
sent 1t to the Governor by police Of
ficer. Judge Dickey will probably hold
court today.
At the Executive Council meeting
morning Judge Davis verbal
ly rendered his resignation, announcing
that ne intended to leave the country.
The resignation was accepted by the
Governor and there was some discus
sion as to his successor. In the after

News Also Asks Credit.

The Advertiser justly claims credit
for the long, single handed fight which
it has made in behalf of diversified
farming, but evidently the Advertiser
regards the efforts of the Maui News
in this direction as nit. because ever
since the News appeared in February,
1900, it has made one steady, continu-
Gus fight for small and diversified In
dustries. 1t is true though, that the
utterances of the Advertiser, as com
pared with those of News. have been
like thunder of a cannon as contrasted
with the piff of a pop-gun. However
the News has kept steadily popping
away. and instead of feeling Jealous of
the good work accomplished by the
Advertiser in this direction. it lifts
its hat in respectful admiration for
what has been accomplished by It's
big neighbor. Nothing that the Ad-
vertiser has ever done has been OF
more benefit to the Islands than its
advocacy Of small farming, and may
1t continue its good work until our
Islands are filled with thrifty and in
dustrlous small farmers.-Maui News.

DIDN'T SPEND
1T FOOlISHLY

Levi Daniel was arrested by Officer
Joy yesterday on a charge of larceny
in the first degree. A couple of days ago
he entered the home Of Anna Aqua in
Kalihi, while luau was in progress,
and took SIG from a bureau drawer.
No one saw him do 1t, but he seemed
to be spending money rather freely
and he was taken into custody. With
hardly any urging he confessed that
he had taken the money.
Did you spend 1t on a wahine," Joy
asked him.
NO" the prisoner replied II did
not spend it foolishly. I put It all
in clothes and other useful things"
Daniel had fifty dollars on his person
when arrested. 1t was returned to
Mrs. Aqua.
