THE TRANSPORT SERVICE.
trhe onicial and Commercial Recors

(The Ohhcial and Commercial Record.)
The effort which is being made to in
duce the War Department to send the
| transports to Manila via Honolulu. in
stead of via Japan. is one which deserves
the earnest thought and effort of all Ho-
noluiu business men.
There are strong reasons why the trans
ports should come here, from the purely
army standpoint.
can be had as cheaply and as plentifuIly
N Hawaii as ia Japan. even though for
the immediate present they may not be.
It may occur at any time. as in the case
Of the Spanish war, that Japanese ports
would be closed TO American warahips.
II Honolulu is assured that the trans
ports are to come this way 1t will place
itself in condition to meet all demands.
and. in case OF necessity, the national
vessels win have fully equipped station
from which to draw supplies.
The money spent here by the transports
and their passengers would go a long way
toward building up the place and increas-
ing its efficiency against the day of need.
Again, Honolulu is an American city
and any incidental benefit that grows out
of the furnishing of supplies to United
States ships should properly go to Ameri-
cans instead Of helping to build up for
eign port.
The Honolulu custom house is paying
into the United States Treasury over $780,
Oco month in gold coin. which entails a
pretty severe strain on this small COM
munity. and every available resource
which will tend to bring coin back into
tho Territory is of vital benefit to it.
1t surely is not unreasonable that the
Americans of Hawaii should ask this of
their own government.
The Record verify believes that If the
subject is intelligently and persistently
presented to the powers that be at Wash
ington. favorable results will be achieved.
All success and support to those who
have the matter in charge.

DOESN'T CLEAR GEAR.

The Bulletin makes a very ingenious
attempt TO prove the economy Of Judge
Gear nv a manipulation of the figures
given in the report OF Chief Justice
Frear. The second judges organ fig-
. ures out that he spent but an average
of s3.77s.s4 per term as against $S'141-SO
at the November term. cOoily Ignoring
the fact that Gear spent that amount
alone. while the smaller sum was divid-
ed between both Judge De Bolt and
Judge Robinson. In other words the
second Judge spent more than double
either OF the other Judges. each of
whom had a Jury. There was at the
same time a grand jury for that one
term. while Gears grand jury expense
item Is distributed over three terms.
The figures as regards the extraor-
binary amount of business transacted
by Gear are equally as elusive. The
Bulletin finds that he held court for
only thirty days more than that of the
other Two judges combined. and that
he decided four cases a day during that
UETlOQ- As a IndAlCt VI Ao$L AAC tf-%-'
assisted by Judge Little during
fourteen days Of that period, and the
law cases were distributed over the en-
tire six months.
There is no explanation of the specific
charges of wastefulness made against
Gear in employing unnecessary stenog-
raphers and baHiffs. and maintaining
jury as an audience at an enormous ex-
pense daily. This paragraph in the re-
port of Chief Justice Frear is quite
naturally omitted by the Bulletin:
Notwithstanding that the Supreme
Court and a number of the Circuit
Judges observed unusual economy, and
others were urged to do so. it remains
that large amounts of the appropriation
were recklessly wasted.
For example. in one instance, during
two trials of a particular case, the jury
having disagreed at the first trial, the
entire body OF about forty jurors were
summoned to court at an expense of
about eighty dollars nearly every day
of the trials. although only the twelve
jurors engaged in the case were need
ed except on the days on which the
juries were drawn.
I'm this way over 500 was wasted
on that one case. Considerable avoid
able waste occurred at the same time
in connection with the grand jury. !
stenographers also have been engaged
And expenses have been
incurred which ought not TO be-fncurred
under any circumstances"

SAVE THE CHILDREN.

Disease plays its worst havoc
among the young. The great
majority of the human race die
in childhood and youth. Parents
do not watch the ills of their
children. Age and maturity are
blind and selfish. 1t is the chill
dren that need care and protec-
ton. Many years ago, a medi-
cine adapted to the complaints
of the little ones, a medicine at
once efficient and safe, was not
to be had. Science had not dis
covered it, just as it had not
discovered how to prevent fevers
after surgical operations, or to
destroy the germs of infectious
complaints. Now, we have in
