and Thanksgiving to Almighty God, it
is our duty as loyal American citizens
to join upon that day in thanking God
for His goodness to us in the past and
in beseeching Him to continue and ex-
tend to us His mercies in the future.
While in our early experience with a
Republican form of Government we
should pray for strength and guidance
to wisely, honestly and fearlessy per-
form the duties Of citizenship, and up
hold the privileges already accorded to
this Territory by the United States Of
America.
Our rejoicings on this day of Thanks
giving should be accompanied by a
sense of grave duty that will enable
US to show in the years to come, that
the responsibility which has been given
us shall not have been misplaced.
NOW THEREFORE,, I, George R.
Carter Acting Governor of the Terri
tory of Hawaii, hereby recommend that
all our people do, en- Thursday, the
26th day of November next, render
/ thanks unto Almighty God in their

work and toll and make the day one
of praise and Thanksgiving.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, l have
, hereunto set my hand, and caused the
Seal of the Territory to be affixed.

City of Honolulu, Territory

Demands OF Justice.

The immediate reformation Of the SER
vice by the turning out Of the offenders
is not in itself enough to meet the de-
mands Of justice. The cases against both
those within and those without the post
office department, who by their acts have
brought themselves within the grasp of
the law, will be pushed with the utmost
vigor. Every effort must be made to see
that both the delinquent official and the
outsider who shares his guilt are punished
to the limit Of the law. In pursuance Of
this policy the individuals above enurn-
Grated have been indicted In no case has
the indictment been sought save where
the officials of the government were con-
WINGED Of the mans guilt; and in every
case the government will exhaust every
expedient in its power in the effort to
see that justice is meted out to the Of
tenders. Those in the public service
whose duty it is must ever be vigilant in
the detection of wrongdoing, fearless in
it's exposure, relentless in its prosecution:

Bribery and BIackmalI.

The details OF the corruption are set
forth in full in Mr.. Bristow's report and
need not be recapitulated by me. AS re-
CARDS Messrs. Beavers and Machen the
corruption took the form of bribery and
blackmail in connection with the purchase
Of government supplies. In the office OF
the assistant attorney general for the
postoffice department. under Tyner and
Barrett, far greater wrong was inflicted
upon the public than could be measured
by a pecuniary standard, for in this office
the corruption Of the government officials
took the form Of favoring get-rich-auick
concerns and similar swindling schemes;
IN other words, the criminals, whom it was
the sworn duty Of these government Of
flcials to prosecute, paid them for per-
mission to fleece the public unmolested.
I heartily approve Of the recommended
tion of Messrs Conrad and Bonaparte that
the statute of limitations be extended in
the case Of government servants to q
period Of at least five years; for the
persons who in such positions OF trust
engage in corrupt practices can ordinar-
ily conceal their guilt for longer time
than is covered by the present short
statute of Limitations. This recommend
ton has been laid before the congress in
the report of the attorney general, and
It Is earnestly hoped that it will be acted
upon favorably. Moreover, our experience
shows that outsiders claiming political in
fuence sometimes sell their influence to
candidates for office. or in other words
blackmail these candidates. There should
be legislation which will permit Of sum-
mary dealing with such offenders. ID
However,, the prime need Is not new
LEGISLATION, but the punishment Of those
who offend against existing laws. The
postoffice department Is making certain
changes in the methods of administration.
notably in the method of inspection, by
which the service will be improved and
the chance Of corruption existing without
discovery be mininized; but the only way
to meet the real evil is to punish the Of
lenders by removal in any event, and

public or private, wrongdoing is certain
at times to occur. The way to guard
against it is vigorously to scrutinize the
character of those appointed, carefully to

being done.

THE RIGHT IDEA

Our journalistic neighbor says: The
Standard isn't trying to make the peo-
pie believe it is a big metropolitan
paper. Some papers endeavor to do
this by charging their pages and
filling their columns with three-days-
late telegraph and dead" patent med
icine ads. The Standard may be
smaller than some other papers, but
it gives the local, State and county
news all the time.
We're glad to learn that this policy,
which is identical with our own, gov
erns the Standard. It's the Silver
States idea, exactly. And that it is
approved by the reading public in gen
eral is evidenced by the expressions
of praise showered upon us by our sub
scribers, the occasional reader and the
State press since the paper was chang
ed a week ago from the style main
tanned by its former proprietors.
