DOLE AND CARTER.

The choice of Governor Dole as
United States Judge for the Ha'
waiian District once more stamps.
with Executive approval, his official
record here and his high services to
the cause of American1sm in these
Islands. No appointment could be
more fitting. Governor Dole is learn
ed in the law, he has had judicial
experience, he has shown himself TO
be a pure and able administrator, he
is American enough to have risked
his property and life to bring Hawaii
into the Union. Even a seat on the
Federal bench cannot add to his repu-
tation; but the judiciary itself can
gain something, as it did from the late
Judge Estee, by enlisting such a man
in it's service.
The retirement of Mr.. Dole from the
Governorship will be followed by the
appointment of George r. Carter. Mr..
Carter is such a man as President
the age Roosevelt was when the latter
was nominated for Governor of New
York and like the President he has
had a long foreground in college and
in active good citizenship. He is an
honest and capable man of reform
tendencies, of unremitting and even
strenuous energy, and he has sound
business training. AS Territorial Sec
rotary and as the temporary business
agent of Hawaii in the mainland
bond market, Mr.. Garter has acted
with wisdom, energy and success. The
Governorship comes to him naturally
in recognition of his deserts.
The turn of events emphasizes the
desire of the President to have Ha-
waiian concerns-even Federal con-
Germs in Hawaii-managed by the con-
servative and responsible elements in
our own citizenship. Notice is given
that this is not field for political
adventures to exploit; and that past
service in redeeming Hawaii from mis-
rule and making it American, will not
be deemed a bar to high Federal pre-
ferment.

music played by an orchestra of Chi
nese. The playing struck a respon-
sive chord, for the audience applauded
the Oriental musicians until they re-
appeared. This was followed by the
singing of "Sin Far" by the Misses
Ten Sue Kau, Kwai Fai,, Lum Kun
the accompaniment of a Chinese flute,
and led by one of the consulate at
taches. The singing was not un-
pleasant to the ear. Owing to a
heavy cold, Mrs. Turner was unable
to sing. Japan's music was rendered
on the koto as solo followed by songs
given by Mrs. Hata, Mrs. Kishimoto,
Mrs. Susumoyo and Mrs. So, assisted
by Miss Castle.
Miss Alice Campbell was in excellent
voice, and as a French peasant girl,
gave an exquisite rendition of Der
ceuse de Jocelyn," receiving unstinted
applause for her artistic presentation.
Equally pretty in effect and charming
of voice was Miss Hartnagle as Ger
many. She sang Schubert's "Gretch-
en- am Spinnrade." Songs of Hawaii
mel were charmingly given by Misses
Rosina Shaw, Elizabeth Kahana, La
hapa Kaleimakalii and Helen Kaiwi-
aea. The program was concluded by
an exhibition of Javanese reed instru-
ments, newly introduced to Honolulu,
which was one of the artistic triumphs
Of the evening. Misses Alice Hede-
mann. Juliet Atherton, Messrs. Erling
Hedemann, Paul Schmidt, in the anee:
costumes Of the Javanese, evolved mu-
sic from the quaint akloen instruments
which called for prolonged applause.
Miss Byington, Miss Castle and Miss
Walker were the accompanies during
the evening.
The proceeds will be devoted to the
Free Kindergartens.

Major j. w. Pratt has made one of
the squarest and fairest tax assessors
and collectors the Islands ever had.
While other counties of the Territory
must draw upon men without special
training in this work it is the privilege
of Oahu county to elect one who knows
the business in all it's details. Mr..
Pratt's opponent would have to learn
the very rudiments of collection and
assessment; while Mr.. Pratt would
simply have to go on from the vantage
ground of long experience. Why take

RAWLINs vs.. cAYpLEss.

The Home -:ulers urge that Cay
pless should be elected as District At
torney instead of the Republican NOM
inee, william Rawlins, because the
latter is too young and inexperienced.
AS to- age, Mr.. Rawlins is over g.
He Is older than William Pitt was
when he became England's greatest
prime minister, and older than Napo-
leon when he first became of world
renown.
Brains, t..dustry, education and in
tegrity count for more than years.
Mr.. Rawlins' record is one that any
man can be proud Of He graduated
from Oahu College and Immediately
entered the Yale College Law Depart
ment in 1898, passing all of the entrance
examinations with the highest marks
receiving special mention for his work
in English literature.
He took the full three years law
course, graduating with high honors in
June, 1901, and was admitted to the
Supreme Court of the State of Con-
necticut. He thereafter returned to
Honolulu where he entered the law
office of Holmes & Starley After
nine months he opened law Office OF
his own; and has since built up sue
cessful and constantly increasing
practice.
His ability was speedily recognized
by Judge Estee, who appointed him
with the U. S. Court, in June, 1902
which Office he still holds.
He has twice been appointed special
Deputy Attorney General to prosecute
at the Maui and Hawaii circuits
where She was SO successful that all
the government cases were won by
him on Hawaii, and on Maui he OBJ
,.,ained twenty convictions out of twen-
gy-three cases tried.
Mr., Rawlins is an active, energetic
Republican, who is doing his full
share to carry the straight ticket
through to victory. He was nomina'
ted after a careful canvass and al
active campaign extending over sew
eral weeks, and he is entitled to tn,
hearty support of the full Republican
vote.
The Republican Supervisors will con
troll the Board of Supervisors. Their,
will be many law questions arising in
mar the party in power. They viii
necessarily depend upon the Distric
Attorney for legal advice. 1t will b
in the highest degree unfair to tn
Supervisors and derogatory to tn
party and public interests that Re
publican Board of Supervisors shout
be at the mercy of a political oppo
nent as a legal adviser. They woul
have a traitor in the camp continuous
ly, and would never know when tn
law was being colored for the benef
of their political enemies.
Mr. Rawlins should receive the vo
of every man who votes for the Reput
ican Supervisors ticket. ;

When The Independent remarked
yesterday that the principles of the
Democratic and Home Rule parties
were almost identical, we referred to
general, or more important, principles
and not to certain useless frills and
freak plumes tackled on to the bust
ness by the leaders of the party last
named.

THURSDAY, NOV. 5, 1903.
TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The report from Washington that
the Government admired very much
the ribbons and frills of Governor
Doles report read decidedly like
back-handed compliment.

We have straight tip that the heads
of the Army are in favor of locating
the big new army post in some healthy
locality in Kone, on Hawaii, in place
of on Oahu; and that the board now
here has been instructed to recommend
some site over there if a suitable one
can be procured. The idea is bit
preposterous on account of the absence
of suitable port-unless, indeed, it is
purposed to dredge Kealakekua land
ing at Kailua and utilize that. There
is in the War Department, however, a
disposition to look outside Of Oahu for
an army site.

AS was to be expected, the mistake
about the vote polled by S. G. Dwight,
candidate for Supervisor from the Fifth
District, was made by the officers of
election in the notorious Seventh pre-
cinct. One of the officers tabulated the
figures wrong, thereby making it ap-
pear that Dwight had won by one vote.
AS matter of fact, however, S. X. Ma
hoe was the victor by 70 votes, which
gives the Republicans four and the
Home Rulers three on the Board of
Supervisors.

A wireless message to The Indepen
dent late this afternoon seems to
state that Sam Pua has been elected
Sheriff of West Hawaii County. This
is probably mistake, as Pua was run
ming for clerk. In connection with
the election in West Hawaii, 1t is to
be noted that majority of the candi-
dates are straight Home Rulers or are
men endorsed by both of the parties.
More straight Home Rulers having
been elected than straight Republicans,
the victory must be accounted as one

Certain Republicans have been heard
to say, since election day: What are
we to do in order to overcome the
Home Rulers? We must do something
to help out the Government and pre-
vent the others from getting control"
That seems now TO be the concensus of
opinion among Republican politicians
is to "rule or ruin" whether by fair
or foul means" Such is the class the
people have to contend with, and the
sooner they see it, the better for all
concerned. And for them, we say-so
mote it be.

In the county campaign M. P. Rob-
inson, ]. A. Lucas, j. A. Gilman, A.
Hooking, IS. E. Damon, A. M. Brown
and w. T. Rawlns promised the ma.
tive plenty Of work and good times in
the event Of their election to Office.
This promise was renewed nightly.
The voters who supported the Repub-
lican ticket should remember it and
hold the candidates squarely up to the
point. We venture to predict, how
ever, that the faithful, who accepted
this promise will experience the same
slump in their hopes encountered after
the election last year.
The suggestion has again been made
that the Seventh precinct of the Fifth
district be divided and two precincts
made of it. We have urged the inn
portance of such a move before, The
change should by all means be made
before the next election, when there
will be a deluge of candidates in the
field. Votes will have to be polled at
that time for delegate to Washing
ton, members Of the Legislature and
county officials. Twice as much time
will be required for the preparation of
these ballots (three in number) as in
the marking of the single one Of this
year; and in the very nature OF things

Now that election is over, Jackie
Lucas words, which we once overheard
him utter in the heat of the campaign
hubbub, that "if we don't get there by
fair means, we'll get there by foul"
are forcibly brought home to us. That
is the utterance publicly made by one
of their supposed honorable" men,
and such is one OF the kind of men we
are destined to be under and to whom
we are to submit We think that If
such is the kind of medicine to be CIV
en- us, it is better not to go to the polls
any more, and the people may as well
stay at home and submit, or else, re-
feet. If we want good Government"
as has been the Republican cry, let us
then deal fairly and squarely by all,
and in such way only can it be pos
sible to get "goodand honest govern
ment' "of the people, by the people,
and for the people" and not govern
ment "of the people, by the family
compact and for the family compact"
or "by the rich for the rich," whether
they get it fair or foul"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-11-05

We very much doubt whether the
Republicans will welcome any recount
of the ballots in the Seventh or any
other precinct" for, as sure as that is
allowed, should it ever be so permitted,
not one Republican would be seated
to office. Should recount ever be
ordered by the Supreme Court the
proper authority to so order it, it would
surely be found that the Home Rulers
have swept this whole County, the
same as they have done ON Maui, and
nearly the whole of East Hawaii and
partially of West Hawaii. But we
have our misgivings whether such
turn will ever occur, as the Republi-
cans control the whole machinery of
government and will likely do as they
please. Like what Lorrin Thurston
once said, "he'll~aleep with the devil
in order to gain point" and they'll
do it every time, whether fair or foul.

North Carolina People Misrepresented

Thomasville Charity and Children
The Biblical Recorder of last week
says:
1--WE need men that will tell North Car
DINA people, not that they are poor;
this is no matter; but that they are blind
ly partisan, that they are ignorant, that
they have ridiculous amount of false
pride, and that they are intensely pro-
vincial, and that they are travelling far
in the rear of modern thought-in educa-
ton, in religion and i'll science"
We have not so learned North Car
DINA, in a somewhat extensive ac-
quaintance with her people, and we
do not believe q word of the above.
Mr.. Walter H. Page entertains that
opinion of his native State and has
given expression to the same senti-
ments, but we hardly expected to
find SO low an estimate of our good
State in the columns of paper which
has a record OF seventy years of ser
vice for North Carolina behind it.,
and which has never given the least
semblance of disloyalty until now. If
what the Recorder says is true, to be
sure it is right to say so, but thank
Heaven, the Recorder is mistaken.
and its editor will live to regret it's
harsh and cruel Judgment of the best
State i'll the Union.

Gen. Fitzhugh Lee on Lynching.
Raleigh Post

Raleigh Post
In an interview the other day
General Fitz Lee, speaking of lynch
ing, said that he did not believe in
lynching- nobody believes in lynch
ing, but he added, ''there is one
of the objects attained by lynching
that is seldom considered. Ii a man,
say negro, should assault a woman.
perhaps some very dear relative of
yours, he has got to be killed or ar
rested. If this negro is arrested af-
ter the crime and brought into the
court room the woman, who has
suffered already, is the principal
witness. She must appear and per-
haps under crOss-eXaminatiOn OflaW-
yers, relate even the details of the
assault, thus Injecting her to hum
iliation to the extreme degree"
And the same humiliation confrOnts
the victim should the assailant be a
white wretch, and is none the less
because of it. Unquestionably in
cases OF this crime the feature sug-
gested by General Lee has great in
fuence.
Commenting on the above the
Wilmington Messenger says:
In the above General Lee voiced the
sentiments of nine-tenths of the men
hot only of the south, but of the
whole country. 1t is the horror of
this idea of the unfortunate woman
being brought into the presence of
the court and being made to recount
her fearful experience before a crowd
of men assembled to satisfy their
disgusting curiosity that causes the
friends of the brute's victim to take
the law into their own hands in cases
where they know that there is no
chance for the guilty one to escape
execution at the hands of the law if
he is allowed to stand u trial. 1t is
this more than the thirst for venge-
ance which causes the lynching OF
such criminals. While, as General
Lee says no one believes in lynching,
it is going to continue SO long as the
crime continues to be committed. and
those very people who declare that
they do not believe in lynching in
the abstract, would, were occasion
to arise, assist in lynching the fiend
under the circumstances put by Gen
eral Lee.

Let Up on the Governor.


Charlotte News
The Gastonia Gazette reminds us
that the juries and solicitors and the
judges who send man to the peni-
tertiary are the first ones to put
their names down on petitions to
have tie Governor undo what they
have done, and the paper emphasizes
this point by coming as near to pro-
family as is allowed in that moral
town. AS matter.of fact, Governor
Aycock has granted fewer pardOns
than his predecessors have done III
recent years, and he has introduced
the reforms of giving a statement of
his reasons to the public when the
pardon is issued and OF requiring the
parties interested to publish the fact
that they were making application
for pardon, before he will consider
it. And then he has what all Exec
cutive officers have had to content
with, the tears and the pleadings OF
the poor women who are the innocent
suffers by the criminals deeds and
sufferers for their love.
Let's let up a while. The fact is
that we are all so fond of our Chief
Executive and expect so much of him
that we have been looking for perfec-
- on all points. This does seem
to be one weak spot, but after all it
is failure that leans to virtue S
side And we think he must have
had a lesson in the we'll nigh univer-
sal condemnation of the latest par
don he issued, though he recited then
several iustifying facts. Men and
brethren, let's let up on the Gov
PrQOr.
