FROM THE NEwSMAN'S NOTES


Compulsory virtue may be better
than no virtue at all, but my obser-
walton of the workings of the Ed
munds Act, by which virtue is dis
seminated in Hawaii leads me to
| have grave doubts as to the good re-
sulting therefrom being greater than
| the evil.
It Is said that the life of the nation
depends on the homes in it, and It Is
evidently true that anything that
tends to preserve the purity of the
| home, to make more sacred the mar
! riage vows and more strict their OBJ
servance is worthy of encouragement
provided ii does not lead to other
and greater evils.
The Federal officials in Hawaii
! have for the past two years been Wig
Orously enforcing the Edmunds Act,
and the results are already apparent.
not so much in "a diminution of the
| Olfenses against which the law Is di-
reCted as in the increase in perjury,
| tale-bearing, and the working OFF OF
old grudges.
Any man who has grudge against
| his neighbOr or wants to get even"
with him for some real or fancied
| grievance. has a weapon ready to his
| hand, which he can use without fear
/ of any baCk-kick. All he has to do is
| to go to the Federal authorities and
accuse his enemy of having violated
the Edmunds Act, and there imme-
dlately ensues all sorts of trouble for
the victim. whether innocent or gull
lty. And there is no redress Ordi-
| narily the victim does not know
where the attack comes from, until
he finds himself in the tolls of the
law, and he may not learn even then.
Consequently, at all times of the
year, there Is a procession of tale
bearers vending its way to the Of
| fees of the Federal authorities. Par.
ticularly during the time the Federal
Grand Jury is in session Is the num-
Der of tattlers and perjurers incred-
IDLY large.
Instead of. the happiness of homes
being conserved, it is disturbed by
the petty tale-bearing of jealous hus-
bands and jealous wives, who under
other circumstances might settle
, their differences between themselves,
but who, seeing this avenue of attack
open to them in their angry mo-
ments, HE themselves to the repre-
sontatives OF the law and lay COM
plants, which as often as not are en-
tirely without foundation.
II has happened a good many times
that some man who has coveted his
Ecighbor's wife. or the woman who IS
not but should be the wife of his
ncighbor, has run to Mr.. Edmunds
with story designed to get his rival
cut of the way and leave a clear fell
to the informer.
or course, the enforcement of the
Act has its advantages. 1t affords a
livelihood for professional witnesses.
Last week, for instance, over three
hundred dollars went over the Pail,
taken by the witnesses In the Kekau-
Cha case, and there Is more in sight,
for there'are several other cases con-
