Is This Religious Liberty?

Governor Carter, some day last week,
turned down the petition of certain ma
tive residents of Pauwela, Maui, who
applied for the incorporation of their
Christian Science church (Hoomana
Naauao). We think the Governor is
wrong, for what right has he to inter-
fere in the manner of how people
should worship God, which is guaran-
teed them under the Constitution? Had
he taken the trouble to inquire of the
Hon. H. p. Baldwin, he would have
found out that gentlemans views about
it, Since the advent of this denomina-
tion there, we are informed, there has
been less drunkenness and the drink
ing of fermented sweet potatoes among
the people and they have become good,
law-abiding citizens. Knowing that for
himself, he has supported that chureh's
work among the natives and has helped
the people, in building their church
" I =
building, besides paying for the main
tenance of their pastor. We are also
informed that Mr.. Baldwin is of the
opinion that n denomination that can
do that much among the people, maxi
ing them God-fearing men and women,
should be supported and assisted in
every way possible and we think he
is right. Because those people have
no dependence in their pastor is the
main reason of their wishing their
church property to be incorporated
under the laws of the country, and we
repeat-to interfere with religion and
the manner of worshipping God is en-
tirely without the official province of
the Governor of this Territory

TOPICS OR THE DAY.

Monday last The Independent exclu
sively used some good advice given
by Assessor Holt to those directly un'
der him in the Tax Office not to go to
saloons and gambling joints, but he
should practice what he breaches with
himself first in the lead. AS a moral
expounder, he ought, not to set an op'
posite example to his subordinates. He
lunched at local hostelry the past
few days and presented himself at
the bar of the place. Fine, eh?

Question OF The Expense.

The question of maintaining Ma
tional Guard IN the Islands is one pure
ly of dollars and cents 1t must be re-
garded as purely and solely luxury
not necessity in any sense of the
word. 1t is true that most citizens
should know how to bear arms, but the
matter is not so important as TO war
rant squeezing the life blood out of the
country to bring it about. The Islands
cannot afford the luxury Of military
establishment at this time, unless, in
deed, it be supported by those men who
glory in brass buttons and martial
training sufficiently well to pay for the
cost OF it.

In our opinion, this accounts for the
strenuous activity displayed by Pratt
to promote his once chief deputy to
the assessorship. Because Holt knew
of these matters, to have him promot-
ed was to hush his former chiefs neg.
ligence and upon him must eventually
rest the onus and responsibility for his
chiefs past acts. We sincerely be.
lieve that had another been appointed,
he would not have accepted Office with
out the books being first balanced and
everything turned over to the incom'
ing man in perfect trim, ship-shape
and apple-pie order. Any other man
but Holt would have been foolish to
have accepted Office with the books in
the shape we claim they are. Much
of Pratt's time, during the latter part
of last year, was spent in electicneer.
ing during the County campaign, and
that may account for some of this neg.
ligence. In the face of these claims,
the electors did perfectly right in de-
feating him, but they were fooled,
when they thought they had him out
for good, when he received another
appointment with fatter salary-halt

UNBALANCED ACCOUNTS
- IpBUnD -

One of the most important bureaux
in the Government is the Tax Office,
because It is the main revenue collect
ing branch left to the Territory after
the taking over by the Federal Govern
mont of the other revenue producing
brarches-the Custom House and the
Post Omee. To this Office the careless
and negligent (now too well KNOWN
Auditor should next turn his attention,
for we understand that the books of
that offiae have not been audited for
ovet year or more, prior to the sit
ting of the last Legislature in Febru-
AIRY OF 1908, /. e., so far as known. And
we further understand that the books
have not been balanced for years back
(the tax books with the cash book or
since the appointment of former AS
sessor Pratt in 1901, IL we mistake not,
the ideal candidate of the Republican
party and the man the business com.
munity thought to be the best.
Should this be proven true, and we
have no doubt about It,, 1t cannot be
SAID that Pratt conducted the Office in
a buslnesslike manner; although he
was gruff and aggressive, we admit
that he was really good man for the
place, because he worked only for the
interest of the Government. !.

would work upon them night and day,
so It's said, until he was himself salts.
fed that everything was in proper or.
der and FORM and this before going
out on a daily assessment tour. That
being the case, what has the Auditor
(of the official family been doing all
the time since he was first appointed
in December of 1902? Nothing at ALL
He has been quietly sitting on his
launches unconcernedly, drawing HIS
fat salary, and allowing things to jog
along. Too much dependence was
placed upon Mr. Pratt, as though he
were infallible and one who could do
no wrong, which is a very much mis-.
taken idea. Duty to the public and
principle should not be sidetracked
for negligence and dependence with
out careful investigation and examina-
ton. public trust should be handled
without gloves and not be treated as
a private one between friends.

Jas. w. Pratt, the ex.Assessor and
the present Commissioner of Public
Lands, was not appointed as Assessor
by right of promotion, but was trans
ferred from the Water Works Bureau
in succession by preference of the
then Treasurer and approval of the
then Governor over ex-Assessor Jon
athan Shaw, When he took office, ne
found Jas. L. Holt the present Asses
sor, there es deputy with Alex, D..
Thompson as chief deputy, but the lat
ter was not promoted. We are still of
the opinion that the promotion of Holt
was a mistake and Wen find it out
later, when 1t can be remedied, but
may be too late. It is incumbent upon
us to wait and we shall see for our
selves.

If the Russian fleets have left Port
Arthur and Vladivostok the objective
point of both is probably the narrow
part of the channel between Korea and
the Japanese coast, where it is intended
to intercept Japanese transports. This
move would necessitate the concentra-
tion of the entire Japanese fleet there
for months to come to act as conveys
for troopships, which would, in turn,
give the Russians time to fortify Port
Arthur and Vladivstok more perfectly
and to flood Manchuria with soldiers.
II this is not Russia's move, then the

SKIRTS CHOKED RIVER.
Thousands of Them Were Thrown
Into Stream at Kalamazoo.

The Kalamazoo council has under
consideration the dredging OF Kala-
nazoo river from the city OF Cooper.
a distance Of several miles. for the
deepening OF the bed in some places
and the removal OF sandbarS in
Others The estimated cost OF a
thorough Job is $4,000. and toE half
the money, it is believed>the situation
can be materially improved and the
damage by floods greatly lessened.
If the dredging is undertaken. par
ticular attention should be paid to
that portion Of the river within the
corporation. which has never recov-
cred. even with times help. from the
choking OF the channel received dur
ing the hoopskirt era of forty years
ago. when every cast-of crinoline
found its way to as near the mid
die of the stream as a wounded and
outraged male member Of the house
hold could throw it. These old hoop
skirts are there yet, save the compar
atively few-which are many-raised
out with fishermen with hook and
line. They are there by the thou
sand, a plague and pestilence breed
er. They have damned the river
and been damned by riversiders.
The merits Of these ancient skele
ton balloons beat brushwooi blind
for straining water and retaining
residuum. All sorts Of floating
wood trash found a foothold and
lodged in them. They became shall
lows, and the shadows Of pestilence
for which the hoopsk;rts were re-
Sponsible. All these antique memoir
les OF the maids and mothers of many
years ago should be scooped out Of
Kalamazoo and something done to
put them out OF action. though
heaven knows how it can be done.
Possibly a deep pit in some secluded
place would hold them. They should
be planted as near the center of the
earth as possible. lest some scie2ti
tic researcher for prehistoric remains
find and exploit them as the bones
OF pre-Adamitic Kalamazooloos.
