WILL BE
ANDREWS'S DEPUTY

f. C. Peters, who has been practicing
law in Hawaii far the past four years,
is to be the deputy attorney general,
according to information which was
current yesterday There has been no
announcement made of the selection,
and none would be made last evening
by Attorney General Lorrin Andrews,
but from political sources the report is
given credence.
1t is understood that there will be no
further changes for the present at least,
as the remainder of the force is believed
to be ready to continue in office. The
absence Of Assistant Attorney General
Douthitt in Hilo, renders his stay in
office problematical, though friends in
slst that he will not make any change
Andrews will have conference with
him, and he will then be invited to re-
main in his place.
Emil c. Peters, the new Deputy At
torney General. is one of the brightest
Of the younger members of the bar in
Honolulu. He Is a graduate of Stan
ford University, following which he en-
tered the Law Department of the Uni
versity OF California in 1897 He was
admitted to practice in California, after
an examination by the State Supreme
Court in the following year, and before
he had completed his law studies. While
attending school he was engaged in the
service of benson & Schlesinger, a firm
of prominent San Francisco attorneys;
and graduated with honors In May OF
1893 with the degree OF Bachelor Of
Laws. In September OF the same year
he came to Honolulu. and entered the
law Offices OF J. A, Magoon. He re-
manned there for two months at which
time he became a member OF the firm
OF Andrews, Peters and Andrade. When
the Arm was dissolved about six months
ago. Mr., Peters entered into partnership
with Mr.. Magoon.
Mr., Peters since his coming TO the
Territory has been engaged In much
important litigation, lie has given par
tieular attention 10 the criminal side OF
the law practice, and his ability In that
direction was recognized by Mr., An
drews, who, when he was appointed Al

HAWAII THE MOST FERTILE.
Hawaii Is the most fertile Of the ISL
ands, and. being the largest. has the
greatest quantity OF farm lands which
are ready to be opened TO settlers from
the States IL they desire to come. Cab
bage grows the year round and TO an
enormous size: caulinowers can be mar
keted three times year: parsnips.
parsley. artichokes and celery grow to
a fine size and Of the finest quality.
All garden vegetables do we'll and two
to four crops a year Is the rule. Straw
berries are on sale in Honolulu for the
entire year and olives. figs aud all sorts
of fruits grow in profusion.
''ln spite of the fertility of the soil
and the ease with which vegetables and
fruits can be cultivated. nearly all these
things are imported from California
and little of the local produce finds il
way into the cities. The reason for
this is the high freight rates between
the islands themselves, which ii has
been suggested can be remeded with
the aid of the government.
'Dairying and chicken-raising are
other profitable uses to which the home
stead lands could be put by farmers
from the older states. Nearly all the
butter used is imported from the East,
as well as poultry and meats A few
big ranches here are making enormous
profits. There are many pests to con-
tend with in Hawaii, but the farmers
seem to combat them successfully.
LAND LAWS ARE LIBERAL.
THE territorial land laws are ex-
tremely liberal. Homestead leases are
given for 999 years. but application
must first be made in writing. a hoile
must be maintained on the land and a
small percentage cultivated. The land is
divided into first-class agricultural, Sec
ond-class agricultural, wet land, first
class pastoral, second-class pastoral
and pastoral agricultural land. No pay
ment is required excepting a So applica-
ton fee. Lands are leased also with a
r!ght-to-purchase clause at a nominal
figure. The purchaser is given twenty
one years to make the purchase. Then
there are cash free holds and cash sales
lands which can be purchased outright
at a merely nominal figure.
Eggs sell the year around in Homo
lulu from so to 60 cents a dozen; butter
is thought to be cheap at 40 or so cents
pound. Chickens bring from 81 to 81
apiece and beef and pork sell all the
way from Is to 35 cents pound
Celery is rs cents a bunch, cabbage 10
cents a pound potatoes and onions 3
and cents a pound, apples 10 and ID
cents a pound and other fruits in like
proportion. Corn, oats and stock foods
are always high and there is a ready
market for all these things"

THE FOURTH.
TStanhope AIail.1

And now comes the season when
towns great and small prepare to cele-
brate the anniversary Of our nations
birth by filling the day with delirium
of noise, silly contests, excessive eating
and drinking, gambling games and gem
eral debauchery.
Why does it not occur to some NUM-
cipality to for once observe Independ-
ence Day in a manner befitting a free
and enlightened people-of making
the day u time for recalling the lofty
patriotism and pure national ideals
which filled the hearts Of the founders
Of this government?
Surely the liberty loving private cit
izen is entitled to one Fourth of July
which shall be something more than 4
day of profit for the peanut vender. the
fortune wheel fakir. and all others of
that brood which for so many years
has considered this anniversary as Il
day set apart for particular benefit.
Is it possible to have a clean, patri-
otto Independence Day celebration?

nish Senator Hanna's opportunity.
TO this Senator Foraker, slated for
permanent chairman of the convention,
dissents emphatically. He considers the
assumption that Roosevelt would blum
der gratuitous in the light of his "splen-
did administrations That the ACTION OF
the republicans of the state should be
controlled by groveling considerations
of patronage in matters Of great impor-
lance the senator dismisses as unjust
to the party and unworthy of its con-
sideration, and while admitting the
popularity and deserts Of both Hanna
and Fairbanks very sensibly concludes
il "a misapprehension to suppose that
they could be preferred as presidential
candidates to President Roosevelt in
1904"
Still in the face of Foraker and Gros-
venor the Hanna forces may conclude
to fight the endorsement. Mr.. Hanna
will be 10th to take down his lightning
rod. but nevertheless It should come
down for the good of TIE party and its
success in 1904. With all MIR. Hanna
great services his nomination would be
calamitous. Mr. Roosevelt is the avail
able candidate for 1904 and his nominal
ton for president will be insisted upon
by the people. Senator Hanna must
wait-always.

THE INCREASE IN YOUNG CRIMINALS

4 The ST Paul Globe attributes the IN

bays:

The one thing certain is the fact that

Globes excuse for the increase in the
number of youthful offenders will not
be widely accepted. TIE young men
are in Jail because they yielded TO an
impulse toward crime rather than

in purple and fine linen rather than
earn an honest living m overalls and

the dry goods counters at 50 per week
to the more lucrative il more laborious

CALAMITY HAS ITS USES.

Horrors like the Kishinev massacre
have their uses. They bring out the
charity and better feeling inherent in
al humanity and remind us that ''one
touch of nature makes the whole world
kin" The widespread feeling for the
victims of Russian race prejudice has
been unconfined. Even the Chinese of
New York have responded to the uni
versal call upon human sympathy and
benefit performance for the kishinev
sufferers at the Chinese theater re-
suited in $3.50 in box office receipts be-
ing turned over to the Jewish relief
committee. To those best acquainted
with the ssolid and selfish Indifference
OF the Chinese to suffering and want
even among their own People the Offer
ing of the Cinnamon OF New York to a
public charity will be accepted as a
proof of progress. Added to the fact
that these same Cinnamon raised 500
at the time Of the Jacksonville disaster
lit will support the hope that the Chi
nese in America are susceptible to
American influences and are in a way
to accept American civilization.
It is true that Chinese customs, ideas
and even religion are slowly giving way
10 the higher types among the Mongol
population of the United States. The
American spirit of progress is conta-
gious and the Chinese have caught Its
infection. The custom once universal
of shipping the bones of their dead to
China is dying out gradually. The New
York Cinnamon have bought a cemc-
terry contiguous to that city for maj
resting place and one OF the bylaws of
the association signitica ntly provides
that no heather rite or ceremony shall
be allowed at any time at the burial or
on the grave of a deceased One Chi
nese church in San Francisco has inau-
gurated choir OF mixed voices and
male and female worshiners mingle as
in the ordinary church Altogether the
American Chinese have lost much of
oriental blgotry and exelusiveness and
are assimilating the methods, customs
and thought of a higher civilization.
The Kishinev episode is one OF the most
significant in this. connection.
