ISLAND LAW
IN CONFLICT
Work Being Mapped
Out by Garter for
Legislature.

IAN effort will be made to get the
next Legislature to enact certain laws
and amend others. to the end that some
points of friction may be, smoothed
away and a better administration all
around be secured said Governor Car
ter yesterday
ITO this end the heads of the various
departments have been instructed to
keep watch and submit. from time to
time, such points as may come under
their observation in their work, with
a view to betterment all around. OF
course, in attempting to harmonic the
new system here with the old systems
and the laws of past times. there have
arisen certain anomalies, and certain
have had to be adjusted as they have
arisen-and these on points that no
legislature would think of going into
unless attention was called to them
specifically. All things considered, it
is really remarkable that we have ad-
justed the new to the old here as well
as we have.
For instance, there is a matter OF
the appointment of inspectors to issue
marriage license, which has just come
up in a case that has arisen on Maui.
There was a district there that had
been without such an official, because
nobody seemed to know whose duty it
was fo aD0oinf and when a pol1Dle
wanted to get married there was no.
body authorized to issue the license.
The matter was referred to the De-
partment of Education, when it was
found that although the appointment
of these inspectors had to be approved
by the department, it was really the
Treasury Department that had the APP
pointment. And because the appoint

Last nights orchestral rehearsal was

ment was thus everybody's business it
became nobody's.
again, the old law provides that no
master Of any vessel shall land any
domestic animals on these islands IN
til the Customs officials have been no
tined, and until they in turn shall have
notified the animal inspectors. Now
the Customs officials are federal on
Gals and of course they don't want TO
bother with something that does not
come within the line of their duty to
the federal government. You see where
the law leaves US therefore with refer
ence TO animals shipped into the Ter
rftory.
The surveyor has notified me that
when town site is plated under the
law. and men buy lots in it by num-
bered lots in letter blocks. there is no
provision, although the man be actu-
ally on file, of tying the survey down
to any particular place. In other words
man may buy lot in a town site.
according to a recorded map. and yet
have nothing to actually show him
where his lot is. The point is that maps
should be filed with the Land Court
Another point of friction is with
reference to the Boundary Commits
sioners, and it has been suggested that.
at least for the island of Oahu, it
would be better for US TO have the
Torrey Land Court to pass upon and
settle all questions of boundaries
Many other points have come up,
and many more suggestions viii be
made between now and the time of the
meeting of the legislature But. as I
said before, it is really remarkable
that we have got on as well as we
have, all things considered

Duty of Citizens.

Inc license law is now in force and
whether you believe in license or pro-
hibition 1t is your duty to see that the
law is enforced. Barton Monitor.
The above is popular delusion. 1t
is not the duty of a citizen as such to
enforce any law. 1t is the duty of all
citizens to endeavor to have all offices,
judicial, legislative and executive, fl
led by competent and honest officials.
The citizens duty ends then, except
that 1t is his duty to give his support
to the officers in the perform ance OF
their duties.
Yet how often do we see just the OPP
posite. Let a man be arrested for al
most any crime and somebody is al.
ways ready to help him escape justice.
Pretty good men too sometimes join in
that work.
Another popular delusion, that men
who conduct their own business sue
cessfully make the best men to conduct
town and city business. AS a matter
of fact they do not nor is there any
reason why they should. Just think a
moment, the two problems are differ
emit The merchant, the manufacturer,
the banker is at work to solve a COM
mercial problem. He is money ma
ker, or tries to be.
Tue selectmen of town, the alder
men and common councilmen OF city,
the trustees of a village or school dis
trict are not engaged in solving COM
mercial problem. They have just so
much money to expend in conducting
the affairs of the municipality they
have in charge. They cannot make
money; they have no opportunity, be
they ever so sharp traders, Men of
practical common sense are wanted to
conduct municipal affairs. Often it
happens that the successful business
man lacks this in a great measure.
Many such make money easily and ex.
pend it extravagantly.
Again many good business men when
elected to municipal Office will pay but
little attention to it. They are too
much absorbed in their own affairs to
attend to public matters. That was
the case of Henry Bradford, one of the
very best business men that Benning-
ton ever had, one of the best men every
way.
In congress as rule the business
man is complete failure. He is con-
cerned in his own, affairs ard really
knows little about legislation anyway.
The lawyer as rule is the best legis-
lator, state or national.
George F. Edmunds was for many
years the best legislator In Washing
ton and even he made mistakes. He
thought so at the time and we know so
now.
Jacob Collamer was one of the best
too. Whether they we're good Dusi-
ness men or not we do not know. We
do not know that anybody knows; per-
haps they never had any opportunity
to know themselves. 1t is of no con-
sequence whether they we're good bust
ness men or not. They were both of
them among the best legislators the
country ever had.

ShirtWaist Suits
Of Silk and POngee

To walk in silk attire"-yes, and
Jewels haze 10 spare" also-is the am
bition of the summer girl OF 1904.
Silk is all about US; on the gentle
ladies who stand so still in the shop
windows, whose pink compilations never
change whatever the weather outside.
ana on the girls who have already had
their shirtwaist suits made, taking time
by the forelock.
The new shirtwaist suit is fashioned
Of taffeta, Iouisine. pongee, and novelty
silks.
Foulards are by no means barred, but
they must be in one OF the new patterns.
Some Of the new soft-hnished taffetas
are very satisfactory for shirtwaist
suits. If the summer is. as predicted,
a very warm one, this material may
prove TO be somewhat oppressive.
Several pretty pongee simple gowns
were seen at an exclusive dressmakers s.
One was seen in a sun-ray plated model
and had a yoke of feAther-stitched
bands, each one lightly embroidered in
brown and red. There Were high cuffs
of the bands, and crash girdle OF
brown and red silk.
The other was a delightful gown. the
skirt being laid in pleats under a shaped
hip yoke There was just a touch OF
green embroidery in small discs on this
yoke, and none at ali elsewhere on the
skirt. The waist. on the other hand,
was deliberately worked with green. and
had vest and collar of green silk sol
idly embroidered.
No summer wardrobe Is complete with
out one simple silk or pongee gown.
The cloth suit is taken for granted. For
the rest, this is to be q season of tub
gowns. The number of linens and other
wash mat erials that are being unpacked
leaves no doubt at all on that score. -
