to buy bottle or so on Saturday night
and have it put aside for their Sunday
use.
The High Sheriff's view of Sunday
ball playing also carries gloom i'm it's
path for If baseball cannot be played,
neither can golf even though many
regard that game as something of a
religious ceremony. The Territorial
band will certainly be forbidden to give
any more Sunday concerts though pos
sibly a compromise might be made If

mo" replied the High Sheriff in an
swer to the question Il do not think
that the enforcement of the law will
drive the legislature to the extreme of
having everything opened wide. l have
lived here for twenty five years and
have always found that the Hawaiians
are fond of proper observance of the
sabbath. Until "A few years ago you
would see them put on their best
clothes on Sunday morning and go to
church. They realize that Sunday is a
day of rest and will / am sure appre-
ciate it,"
point arises as To the allowance of
bathing at the Waikiki beach on sun
day. If bathing is to be considered as
an amusement IL should of course he
prohibited but If any person really
needs to go in the water for the sake
of wash 1t viii probably be allowed
on the reasoning that Cleanliness is,
at all events, next to GOdliness. No
attempt will be made for the present
to prevent the waves from breaking on
the shore and thus destroying the quiet
of the Lords day.

If Honolulu does not all of sudden

this wicked world the fault will not lie
with High Sheriff Henry and there
seems every reason to believe that it

was waiting to see Governor Carter.

endeavOr to carry out the law as it
exists, showing favor to nobody. Take
the Pacific club, for instance--it en-
ploys bartenders ana sells liquor and
i'm my view it should be made to pay
the regular license. SO should every
club that sells liquor, the Elks for in
stance and the japanese club. There
are whole lot of so called clubs run

liquor yet when the police interfere
with them they are asked why they
do not tackle the Pacific club. As to

which supply liquor to members, will

GOVERNOR CARTER SAID TO RE-
FUSE TO RECOMMEND HIS RE-
APPOINTMENT.

Circuit Judge Gear is said to be
candidate for reappointment and IL is
reported that he has encountered the
opposition of the governor. Friends OF
the judge are said to have sounded the
governor some days ago as to his atti-
tude in case the judge should seek
reappointment and according to report
the governor told the judge that he
would not support him. In view of
President Roosevelts policy with re-
gard to Hawaiian appointments this
would settle Gears chances, it isl
thought.
Judge Gears terms as circuit judge
will expire next spring and the matter
of choosing a successor is already be
ing considered. The judge is quoted az
saying some time ago that he would
not accept another term. but some

was undertaken by supporters anxious

Kuhn Messenger: The board of

engaged in the task of equalizing the
taxes, but It seems. from the best in
formation obtainable, the board has in
stead Of eQualizing the taxes done
just the opposite.
When the people elect represents

trust, they naturally expect that when
they qualify and take solemn oath
to do their duty to the best OF their
ability and according to law, that they
will do so. But II would seem from
the actions Of this beard that they
have outraged every principle Of equity
and justice, and have used their Of.

of their neighbors. We have taken

As had been anticipated, railway
building in the United States during
the first six months of 1904 shows a
falling off in comparison with the cor
responding periods of 1902 and 1903.
Increased operating expenses and de-
creased traffic, resulting in smaller net
earnings, together with the continued
stringency Of the money market,
furnish the explanation Of a decline
In construction. Operating expenses,
already high, were materially in
creased during the first quarter OF the
year BY the severity OF the winter, and
