Town TALK
By The Man About Town.

II 80 the Man
| heard a novel complaint against the
Supreme Court the other day. 1t was
that the court was deciding cases too
quickly. Think of that for a complaint
to be lodged against the Supreme court
of Hawaii! The attorney, for it was
an attorney, who made the kick, said
it was not very pleasing to argue
case for several days, and file long
brief and then have the court dispose
of the whole matter in a couple of days
But [ think most attorneys are salts
fed with the present way, as compared
to the slowness of the former court.

OF course the Portuguese are entitled
to their holiday celebrations. But isn't
it rather crowdng the rest of us when
they begin December 1 by long sue
cession of cannon shots at Punchbowl
at about five in the morning?

There is a suggestion of something
for the promotion men to do in the
recent dispatch from Vallejo, stating
that the Paul Jones and Perry are not
coming here. The dispatch ends with
these words: "Oficers and crews of the
little boats are greatly pleased at the
revocation of the orders to go to Ho-
nolulu, as the trip was not looked Tor
ward to with enthusiasm" Why is
If that officers and men of the Ameri-
can navy do not want to come to Ho-
Notwithstanding that the statement
quoted is correct? In time OF peace
the wishes of the officers and men may
have considerable to do with where
war vessels go. If there is developing
in the American navy an aversion to
visiting Honolulu let us find out why
! Such a thing has certainly never been
heard of before. In fact we have
heard over and over again that a
visit to Honolulu and a stay here was
among the greatest delights of both
officers and men.

Replying to the message given to
the Mohonk Conference by Rev Dr.
Kincaid. former Justice Hatch stated
that at least as carpenters and bar
bers the japanese We're superior t'
the whites who work at the same
trades. There was just a suspicion
that the types had made the Justice
saw BARRIERS" when he had really sale
"laborers" but nevertheless the pub
lshed story caused considerable heat
among the white BARRIERS down town
am told that Justice Hatch had his
house built by Japanese carpenters, as
of course, he had a perfect right to dc
if he so desired but that fact causes
the white BARRIERS to smile.
THE Judge had experience with Jap
anese carpenters" said M P. Bothelho
of the Criterion barber shop as III
lathered my chin, "and I suppose tina
he must have had the same with Japa
nese BARRIERS. I hope he likes then
for I want to see everyone enjoy him
self. There are no ten cent shaVes o
ten cent shampoos in our shop
Monsignor Pacheco who conducts tn
tonsorial university in immediate pro
pinuuity to Father Cunha's COLLEGE
was inclined to be lenient. aske'
him what he thought about justice
Hatch's views.
Sure" he said "Sure I have no kicl
, against the japanese BARRIERS. Japa
nese people are very clean and as the
are here, it is quite natural that the
should have their own BARRIERS. The,
must live and 1 have no resentmen
against them for they do not interior
with my business. If any man want
to go to a japanese shop I have moth
ing to say in opposition to it. Tn
only people whom it hurts are the whit
BARRIERS who give fifteen cent shaves
I suppose it does cut into their busi
{ ness because the Japs only charge tie
cents, and fifteen for a hair cut. TIL
high class trade has nothing to objec
to in the Japanese"
The fifteen cent men whom I say
said that they had no particular kic
coming, they were kept busy and tn
Japanese trade did not cut into ther
very much, so that from what can b
gathered, Justice Hatch is the only Ha
waiian who is alarmed over the ap
preaching disasters which are to des
cend on the BARRIERS of tn Sc beautifl
isles
