Explanation Wanted.

j l. Kaulukou 10 letter TO the
Advertiser, writes: "There is no
doubt whatever that the active in,
terfereDce of the administration de-
feated Cecil Brown, and that the
delegates would have voted for
Brown il they had not been give n
to understand that by doing 30 they
were blacklisting themselves with
the Governor" We fully agree with
Mr. Kaulukou, who has had more
experience in politics here than any
other man now living in Honolulu.
It is now up to the Governor how
he or his attorney general can .ex-
plain this :sactive interference in
politics by government officials
and harmonize it with. the instruc-
tions to ell government officials TO
to refrain from active participation o
ia politics. The Governor is setting
his subordinstes q nice example, but
we will forgive him, as in the Brown
instance he has only hurt his own
party and given the Democrats a
chance to scors.

Complaint Not Wanted.

The constant complaint against
jury commissioners is not just or
warranted by facts, During it's first
term tho commissioners had moth
ing to go by except the directory
and the tSx list. The latter shows
neither sex occupation, nationality
or age and the former does not show
the two latter qualifications which
are 30 essential. The commisgions srs
were then compelled, 80 to say, to
grope their way with The reeuit that
many errors were committed which
which will not oaeur agaiD. That
the difficulty ia selecting new set
of men for service next year will be
enhanced as we don't suppose cry
of those who have served this year
can be drawn again. The casual
observer will hardly believe il, but
yet it is fact that this conmuuity
is extremely short OF material from
which jurors eau be seleeted, and
asked to servs without too great a
hardahip to them, la due time and
with some patience the jory ms,
chtnsry will probably be ia good
running order.
