Tourists have been got by hard work

attractions as Honolulu. Long usage
has accustomed them to being sought

few adventurous spirits do that. The

SUCCESS TO JUSTICE.

The epidemic of crime which has
startled this community during the past
year is largely due to the judicial
policy, now happily terminated. of let
ting thieves, highwaymen and even
murderers off on slight technicalities
A study of police returns will show that
crime began to increase as soon as it
was understood that it had friends at
court The enemies of society took
heart when the trial judge rose to the
toast of Success to Crime" and when
he said from the bench, as he let thief
go. that he himself would have stolen
money at the same age. It is not an
injustice to affirm that fifty per cent
of local crime since then has been COM
mitted under the impression that 1t
would not hurt much to be caught.
& But things are now on turn for the
better Judge De Bolt, an honest man,
has signalized the beginning of his
work by giving the criminal short
shrift. Yesterday he sent a burglar up
for twelve years. Other rogues have
received sentences which bore a like re-
lation TO the gravity of their offences.
It is now becoming understood that
crime is not going to be lightly regard
ed by the Circuit Court nor turned in
. e, befuddled jest at a dinner table.
When proven to the satisfaction of a
jury it will be dealt with to the salts
faction of justice. Already crime is les
SEEMING both in kind and degree, and
while it will never, under any circum-
stances. wholly disappear. it viii be
normal as long as the courts do their
duty.
The experience which this community
has had with unworthy judges since an
nexation has taught it lesson of self
defence which it will certainly apply
when one or two judicial commissions
expire and there comes a chance to get
new men. When the earlier appoint
ments were made the people paid little
attention to them. They had been long
accustomed to honest and competent
judges here and did not conceive of
the judicial iniquity with which they
were soon affronted. Lack of foresight
on their part has been sadly punished
since. But events have made it possible
to get two good men out of three on
the bench of the First Circuit Court;
and unless we make mistake in gaug-
ing public sentiment the successor of
any delinquent Judge viii not be him
self. The Success to Crime judiciary
must go.

1t is a matter of regret to Hawaii
that Senator Morgan should persist in
his opposition to the Panama canal.
Any isthmian canal that will facilitate
commerce between the two oceans is
better than no canal at all, and if a
fight is to come on between the friends
of Panama and Nicaragua it will be
many a long year before a ditch will
be dug. Most people here who have
given the matter thought, prefer the
Nicaraguan to the Panama route, but
everybody agrees that a Panama canal
would answer all the commercial uses
which have so strongly recommended
the Nicaragua project in the past.
What the United States wants and
needs is a short cut TO the Pacific and
it is not the most useful patriotism to
stand in the way even if the choice of
the one route over the other was not
free from attendant scandals.

MATTERS OF DETAIL.

There can be no contest between peo-
pie who want small farmers TO come
to Hawaii singly, in groups or any
other way, so long as they come. and
those who agree with Governor Dole N
the colony idea, providing means are
taken that will bring results. If colo
MES will come, well and good. That
means more producers added to the
white population and they will be well
coined But the Advertiser has feared
that if the Territory waited until farm
communities began moving en- masse,
it would be a long time in peopling its
vacant acres.
The West has been settled up in the
individual way: Land was surveyed
and then advertised to be opened at
given time upon such and such terms
When the time came to pre-empt there
were plenty of people there to take
ouarter-sections The Advertiser holds
that the same methods would be ef1-
cacious here. 1t is by no means en-
amored of the Island land system as
it stands. There is too much room IN
It for hunnbug. Dummy homesteaders
come in to get land for graziers and
Settlement Associations are formed by
men who do not attempt to comply
with the spirit of the law and who are
merely acquiring land for speculation.
Where there is one genuine Settlement
like that at wahiawa there are five
which are not genuine. What this pa
Der wants to see on the upland soil is
the farmer who viii work it. There are
plenty of farmers who want to come%I

Much of this land should, however, be
