The law is not likely to waste its
thunders on the japanese who played
soldier at Kaimuki the other day. They
had no guns and the gymnastics which
they used to initiate rifle fire were not
such as to disturb the peace Of the

wade the territory of power friendly
to the United States, without that
powers consent Manchuria does not

no proof exists that Japan has called

An Englishman who holds a colonial
governorship, or similar office, loses
the prestige that attaches to that office
as soon as he arrives in England. In
this connection story is told of the
Duchess of Devonshire and Lord
Creve, then lieutenant of ire

ing from Ireland to England and on the
voyage she showed him all the def

HOMEsTEADs AND FARMERS.

| The Homestead law which is pro-
nosed for Hawaii is like that of Cali
fornfa where a homestead up TO the
value of $4,000 is exempted from all
forms of execution, except mortgage
foreclosure. That is to say man

in trade. superfuous personal proper
ty and the like to satisfy a judgment
granted to his creditors. but his home
is inviolate Whatever else happens
he and his family cannot be turned
into the street.
In California the law works well 1t
is recognized as having both economic
and humanitarian value. People are
attracted to a State where the citi-
zen's home is his castle and they are
more apt to settle down permanently
Then again, where an unfortunate man
is left with some foothold, he makes
another start where otherwise he
might give up. The homestead law
promotes building. helps to make
population stationary and mitigates
bad luck
If the Legislature would enact such |
a measure and supplement it with
law to operate in favor of bona-fide
small farmers, the Territory would
take on a much-needed impetus. The

SUNDAY CLOSING

The strict enforcement Of the sun
day law, which is proposed to be made
win cause SO much public discomfort
as to tempt the Legislature to enac'
law so different that it viii be near
~ wide open. That is the danger IN the
present crusade. From one extreme
the legislative pendulum is apt to go
TO the other. Looking at the person
mel of our law-making body it is not
easy to conceive that it would leave
the Sunday law as it is unless the
dead-letter status We're to continue.
Now that plantations, hotels and cares
the aquarium people, the recreation
public, devotees of sports and trans
uortation lines that make money out
of SUNDAY diversions are going to be
actively hostile to the Sunday statutes,
fhe Legislature may be counted on to
help them apply the axe.
One may regret that the Sunday IS
she is to be stirred up without in any
way blaming the High Sheriff and the
Governor whom he represents. the
recent police change was brought
about by a decision on the part of the
Executive that the law should be en-
forced. 1t was a decision which the
Governors oath of office made neces-
sary. Sheriff Henry was appointed TO
take hold of the matter and he IS
obliged to do so. Accordingly Sunday
work on the sugar estates not abso-
iutely necessary to the life of the crop
must cease; eating houses must close
after Z o'clock; stores must shut save
where their business is one of necessity
or mercy; beach bathing resorts must
lock their gates; nveries must cease
letting pleasure rigs; yachts must tie
up and outdoor sports of all kinds sup
press themselves. The law and the
official duty under it are clear.
This paper hopes that people de-
voted to Sunday observance will be
reasonable and not try to sustain the
present Jaws or make them more rigid.
A fight along those lines could not be
won and it might lead even beyond
the sort of legislative retaliation We
have referred to. 1t is better to let
band concerts, healthy non-profes-
sional sports and open cafes alone than {
10 press an issue which might end in !
open SUNDAY saloons and racetracks.

GEN. LoNasTREErs WIDOW.
Appointed Postmaster &C Gainesville
Georgia.

Mrs. James Longstreet, widow OF
| General lanes Longstreet of confederate
| fame. is to be appointed postmaster a;
| Gainesville, Ga, for many years the
home of the former confederate chief
tain. The President and Postmaster
General Wynne decided upon the re-
moval OF Colonel Henry P. Farrow, the
postmaster at Gainesville, and the APP
pointment of Mrs. Longstreet. A post
Office Inspector who recently went to
Gainesville to investigate complaint
that Colonel Farrow was not citizen
of that place, but lived in another coun-
ty, reported that the charges were true
Colonel Farrow being a resident of
Lumpkin county Ga. Colonel Farrow
has been lifelong republican in Geor-
gia, and has been postmaster at Gaines
vile for six or seven years.
There has been some question as to
the citizenship OF Mrs. Longstreet in
Gainesville, but there is thought to be
no doubt of that General Longstreet
lived there after the civil war, although
much of his time was spent here as
commissioner of railroads, which
office was continued for his
benefit long after its duties had ceased.
Mrs Longstreet was the second wife
of General Longstreet. She is about
years old and at the time of
her marriage to the confederate general
she was editor and owner of Georgia
She is a bright, attractive
woman, fully qualified for the position |
to which she is to be appointed 1t IS I
possible, however, that the Georgia Re
publican machine, of which Colonel Far
row is member, may attempt TO make I

pointment at the coming session of the
