PREFACE TO THE FUNDAMENTAL
LAW OF HAWAII.
Congress has expressly enacted a law
organizing Hawaii into a Territory,
and extended the provisions of the
United States Constitution 10 the Ter
ritory
In restricted sense, therefore, the
United States Constitution and tue Or
ganic Act constitute Hawaiis funda-
| mental law; but the Organic Act
specifically re-enacts the great body of
pre-existing Hawaiian statute law,
| which was based upon the several Ha-
waiian Constitutions and organic laws.
A large proportion of the law gov
erning real estate, property and per-
sonal rights in Hawaii being based up
on these early constitutions and laws;
and precedents, decisions and court
practice having grown out of them, it
is necessary to consult them in order
to have a comprehensive understand
ing of existing Hawaiian law. They
are nearly all published, however, in
books now out Of print, and in scattered
volumes, inaccessible to many, and in
conveniently located for ALL In fact,
not even practtcing lawyers in Hawaii
can, except at considerable Ioss Of time,
place their hands on the laws ano con-
situations necessary for the study and
decision of practical questions con-
tinually being presented to them.
Under these circumstances it is be-
lieved that the public interest requires
the republication in convenient refer
ence form of what may be called 1.-The
fundamental law of Hawaii" To meet
this requirement the following con-
stitutions, laws and documents have
been compiled under the common title
of 'tThe Fundamental Law of Hawaii"
viz:
l. The first Constitution of Kane
hameha III, 1910. including the pre-
vfously issued Bill of Rights.
2. The first laws of Hawaii, enacted
under Kamehameha III, G833-1842),
published together in 1872
s. The law creating and principles
guiding the Land Commission
f. The second Constitution of Ka-
mehameha III. 1852.

RocKY FORD MELONS.

Az IL we'll known, a melon OF very
superior quality and flavor is produced
In limited area of the Arkansas river
valley, which includes Rocky Ford,
Colo. This melon has built up for itself
reputation ON It's merits and Is in
great demand all over this country.
There is some peculiar quality or prop.
erty connected with the soil of that re.
glon which permits OF the growing Of
this little nutmeg melon In It's greatest
perfection. The large profits which have
accrued In the growing Of this melon
have tempted many other localities to
enter upon It's production, In doing
which they succeeded In growing a
melon which looks exactly like tho
Rocky Ford, but which IL utterly want
Ing In It's fine flavor and quality. The
markets OF the country are flooded
with these bogus Rocky Ford melons,
while the genuine Rock ford IL retailed
in our cities at the time this article Is
written at as high price as 25 cents
apiece. The people are quick TO catch
on 10 schemes Of this character, and
men who are engaged In trying to
raise Rocky Ford melons In Iowa and
Missouri might as we'll get out OF the
business.

Over the great hog growing section
OF the northwest, which has the state
OF Iowa for center, there is almost
absolute immunity from any sort OF
epidemic disease, and with this happy
condition there is the largest crop OF
young pigs the farms have ever car.
ried and one Of the best crops OF corn
In sight with which to fatten them.
The agricultural wealth OF that section
Is associated with these black, white
and red beasts and the corn with which
to fit them for market.

On the first Of next month Texas is
to put on sale tract of land twice the
size OF Connecticut, comprising in all
about 100000 acres. This land IS
varied in quallty-grain and rice land,
cotton, sugar, fruit land also land be-
meath the surface Of which are found
oil and minerals The territory to be
disposed OF Is part OF the school do
main. IL Is understood that this sale
is 10 be no paradise for grafters and
land grabbers, as IL customary in the
disposal OF large tracts Of land. Texas
is after homeseekers and farmers, and
with this In view only 100 acres will
DO sold to any one person and must
be occupied within ninety days from
date OF sale. The terms OF purchase
are easy, being minimum price OF 81
per acre, one-fortieth OF which Is to
be paid down, while forty years time
will be given on the remainder. This
land Is very fertile with irrigation, and
water Is found in most places at a
depth OF about fifty feet below the
sgfface.

WILL corn nE CHEAP AGAIN,

WALh IOhAN hh AhhAR A1AkNN
We are asked whether 1t is likely
that the western country will ever
have to meet condition again where
corn will sell for IL or is cents per
bushei. We think not. The days OF
cheap corn are past. The value of corn
as a food for both man and beast Is
becoming so well understood in for.
eign countries that whenever the price
gets down below 30 cents ut New York
there Immediately springs up very
large export demand for the cereal.
New uses are constantly being found
for this valuable corn plant, and each
year some new product is being
evolved from II, and It today serves
as a raw material out OF which Is
produced a wonderful list of neces.
sites and luxuries for use OF the world
at large. We regard any soil which
with proper care will produce sixty
bushels OF corn to the acre as really
the most valuable agricultural land
that we have in the United States.
There are great possibilities connected
with the Improvement Of not only the
variety OF corn raised, but also in con.
nection with better methods and in.
creasing yields. The time Is coming,
and is not far away either, when a
man will be ashamed 70 admit that he
has raised crop OF thirty-three bush.
els OF corn to the acre, and yet this Is
represented as the average yield of
some Of the corn growing states. When
wo consider that II Ia possible for an
acre OF ground properly treated to pro.
duce 200 bushels Of corn, 1t would
seem as though there were marvellous
opportunities for the enterprising corn
grower TO improve his present meth.

must buy what was offered has
passed, and he now wants tho best as

not be amlss for the farmer TO talk

The pulse of Oskaloosa's business
is quickly felt by the different rail-.
roads which enter the town, and 1t is
not bad commentary upon the busy
town that every railroad entering os-
kaloosa has had great gains In It's
freight business into and out Of Oska-
loosa during the past month, and In
each case big increase over the
freight business OF the corresponding
month OF last year. The month which
closes today has seen a big cut in the
passenger business from that Of last
month, the reason being the dropping
OFF Of the larger part OF the summer
excursion business. Local business is
temporarily slow, but will probably
pick up again In the next two weeks.
The difference between this month
and last, in excursion business, Is not
quite 80 noticeable because OF the
Denver business that went out Of Os-
kaloosa during the first weeks OF Sep.
TENDER. There Is still some sale OF
Portland tickets over the different
routes, but although this Is probably
the best time OF the year for west
ern coast and exposition trip, there
are few taking advantage Of II. Aug
ust will BIO remembered as record
breaking month In oskaloosa in the
passenger departments. The Rock
Island showed splendid margin OF
gain In business over the business OF
August 1904, and did considerable traf.
fic to western and coast points, The
Iowa Central managed to smash the
records Of August 1904, during which
month the st. Louis Exposition busi-
ness had made record unequalled.
Ticket Clerk Ross Brown, however, had
a comfortable margin OF gain TO his
credit. The banner increase, however,
was that OF the @. Agent HIxson not
only showed big increase in August
business, but actually more than
doubled the amount Of sales Of the pre-
yious year.

In the question and answer depart.
ment OF one OF the most popular
monthly magazines wo came across
the following case: A woman, the wife
OF a minister, had written to the maya.
elmo and Its readers saying that her
conscience troubled her and she would
like TO state the cause and see IL some
one would not advise way out OF tho
difficulty II seems that this worthy
woman possessed railroad stocks 10 the
amount Of $4,000. on which she had
never paid any tax whatever Her
husband being OF that denomination Of
ministers who change their pastorate
about every two years, the tax collect.
ors had never, II seems, been able to
locate this $4,000. Consequently the
lady had never been called upon for
taxes, though, as she expressed IT. she
had never made any effort either TO
make known or conceal the fact that
she possessed the property. NotwItii.
standing that this lady was aware she
possessed goods upon which the law
prescribed that she should pay tax,
she wrote TO magazine asking the
editor and the public to help her out OF
the difficulty.
In principle the above case Is very
common. The person in question
would no doubt scorn to steal $40 and
would have resented the imputation
that she was dishonest. Like the man
who has been overpaid In transac-
ton or the making Of change, she was
willing TO profit by the ignorance Of
the tax collector, provided 1t entailed
no overt act Of dishonesty on her part.
This II a test before which many peo-
pie fall, yet the truth Is plain TO see.
Honesty Is not matter TO be deter
mined by the public. but TO be decided
by the Individual who n concerned.
Neither can one person excuse or pal
Iiate his acts by citing the example OF
another's wrong action. The meeting
Of such questions as the above In
wolves character and character Is a
thing which must be worked out by
the independent acts and decisions OF
It's possessor. A pernicious but entic.
Ing theory IL that which holds that dis.
honesty comes only with detection

blue grass would under such treatment

There nre three things connected
with our modern development which
wo cannot well do without and which
leave ugly scars IN their trail. These
are stone quarries, brickyards and
coal mines, each OF which initiates
the appearance Of the country In q
bad way. The quarry, because located
usually IN some blur, Is less objection
able than are the others. The brick
yard, usually located adjacent 10 some
town or city, becomes the worst kind
OF an eyesore with It's excavations,
while coal mines leave mountains Of
culm, ashes and debris that are well
nigh impossible 10 remove. While ma
ture will always make desperate ef-
fort TO redeem and bcautify such work
as this, she finds II hard work to
handle this proposition, and they will
remain scars and mutilations upon
the face OF the landscape for all time.
Just az this time OF the year may
BIO seen the interesting event OF the
gathering OF tho swallows preparatory
TO migrating to the south. II one viii
watch he will SEQ these birds, which
have. nestcd In the north, gradually as
Bembling In large nocks, frequently
monopolizlng long line OF telegraph
or telephone wire, resting a few mo-
mentg and then going out on short
circultous flight and returning 10 their
perch This will be kept up for two
or three days with great deal OF
chattering and noise, each flight being
wider In It's radius and the numbers
Of birds continually increasing. Final
Iy some morning usually about Aug.
"a, tho day OF migration arrives, and,
gathered once more at the old render
yous, they wheel into the air, make
one or two short circles and then dart
on to the south like fash, 10 be gone
until next May. How far do they go?
These same birds inside Of twenty
four hours will be found in Louisiana
and the Central American states, the
speed made IN the southern passage
being estimated at 100 miles per hour.
We have four or Ave varieties OF the
hirundea which breed In the north and
stay with Us from May until August.
