False Policy OF Republicans.

The policy of the Republican party,
which is to coerce the native Hawaiians
into joining it by refusing them work
unless they affiliate with the g. o. p.
is having the opposite effect to what
its authors had intended. The Hawaii
an Of today is not going to sell his
opinions and rights for the privilege
Of having government employment
He is willing to bide his time-and
that tim evil surely come. At best,
however, the Hawaiian has gotten
about as much from the sword-point
Of the Republican party as from the
olive branch. Every native that ever
attained recognition from the party in
an important capacity. with the lone
exception of Treasurer Kepoikai (and
he had too much sense to be hood
winked) has been unceremoniously
kicked out of office. All the way
through the Republican party has
shown disposition to cater to the Ha-
waiian just far enough to get his vote,
and when that was obtained to throw
him stranded and helpless on his up
pers." Coercion at this late day is
a useless tool. The Hawaiian has
learned his lesson and must know
from it that he can obtain absolutely
nothing from the Republican party of
these Islands.

HIS TOUR is A BOOMERANG.

Governor Carter is credited with be-
ing a Strenuous" and shrewd poll
tician, but his political tour of Ha-
wall does not bear out the qualifica-
tions. From one side of the
big island to the other he
has addressed audiences, heard the
grievances of the people and promised
them all sorts of things. He has, in
other words, promis ed them more i'm
provements than the appropriations
for the next five years will stand. And
the poor, deluded denizens of the big
island calmly anticipate that all this
work will be done within the next six
or eight months!

Government Cannot Act.

While attempting and intending to
run the Government on the basis of the
Six Months Bill, as advised by the At
torney-General, we are of the opinion
that an important fact Is being over
looked, which is that the Legislature
did not fail in it's duty to provide the
necessary appropriations for running
the machinery. Believing as we DO
that it did not fail in such an essential
duty, the Government could not of it,
self and in itself legislate appropria-
tions for paying all its workings with
out due authority of and from the peo-
pie, from whom is such authority de-
rived to expend what they, as a whole,
contribute towards its support, main.
tenance and sustenance. If the Gov
ernment can SO act of its own accord.
what need Is there for holding cleo
tions and for the assembling of the
Legislature? 1t may as we'll run on
without let or hindrance and then do
as 1t pleases with the peoples money.
Such course would not be long toll

Marston Campbell, the great engi-

and Cooper regimes of the Public
Works Department, is now out of Gov
ernment employ, wherein he earned
more money than he ever did before
coming here, but has now the chance
to show his capacity by what he can
do. While enjoying a lucrative posi-
tion under the Government, all that
lie cared to do was in the line OF
spending money appropriated and
hardly gave thought as to where it
was to come from. 1t was nothing
but spending, as long as he had a
chance and hand in making some use

In the Davis rehearing of the disbar-
ment proceedings before Federal Judge
Dole, Chief Justice Frear has been ex-
posed as an interested party. When
the matter was first heard, he should
have known, according to present de-
velopments, that he was disqualified.
And the same may be said with regard
tc the County Act, that he was a party
called into consultation by the then
Governor, prior to its being approved.
He was always to be seen in the EI-
ecutive chamber during such times and
assisted the Executive in vising and
passing upon all bills passed by the
Legislature. In our opinion, he was
particeps criminis in throwing down
the County Act, for he knew all along
what 1t would come to, which reminds
us again of what Organic Act Dave"
said at the time, that the Chief Justice
would throw 1t down. And he did too.

POWDER TRUST
PREVENTS SALE
Restraints Disposal Of It's
Stock in the PeytOn Com
pany for an Assessment

The powder trust, otherwise the h. L.
du Pont de Nemours Powder Company
obtained a restraining order from
Judge Kerrigan yesterday which pre-
vents the sale, advertised for TINS
morning, of $1,000 worth of the trusts
stock in the Peyton Chemical Company
for a $50, 700 delinquent assessment An
order was made for the local company
to show cause next Friday why the
injunction should not be made perma-
nent and why it's books and records
should not be opened for the inspection
of the New Jersey corporation.
The orders were not granted until after
lively bout between six lawyers in an
ex parte proceeding. The defendant
was represented by Judge Slack, Judge
Allen and Attorney Serf. the plaintiff
by Attorneys Barrett, Madison and Su-
tro. The case has been before Judge
Morrow In the United States Circuit
Court A restraining order issued by
him was dissolved a few days ago,
whereupon relief was sought in the Su-
perior Court. In order that the defend
ants might not suffer, the plaintiff Of
fered bond of $4,000, which was ac-
cepted.
The complaint relates that the New
Jersey company is the owner OF 5000
of the $500 shares Of the Peyton Com
pany. In August the plaintiff gave a
power of attorney to r. S. Penniman
and asked that fifty Of it's shares be
transferred to his name. This was re-
fused, as were also his repeated re-
quests for permission to examine the
Peyton Company's books. 1t was con-
tended that the Nemours Company,
without an access to the books, could
not determine whether or not 1t should
protect the stock assessed for $40 a
share. 1t is charged that the knowledge
Of the company's affairs is fraudulent
ly withheld and that the refusal to
transfer the shares to Penniman was to
prevent the New Jersey company from
being represented on the board of di-
rectors. The complaint says that the
directors Of the Peyton Company are
under the control of William c. Pey-
ton.
Replying to these statements. the at
torneys for the defendant said that the
assessments, amounting to $35.OO0. had
been paid on the local stock; that the
application of Penniman for permis-
sion to inspect the books was for the
purpose of inJuring the company. and
that the New Jersey concern could not
maintain an action in the California
courts, not having complied with the
law requiring the filing Of copies Of its
articles of Incorporation.
