MUNICIPAL ACT DECISION.

The lawyer reads court decisions
for technicalities. The layman
judges It by the rule of common
sense and the probable good result.
From the layman's standpoint. the
decision of the Supreme Court on
the Municipal Act is satisfactory.
II is possible to do most anything
with the law. Decisions can be OBJ
tained to satisfy every side of the
case, and we have not the slightest
doubt that the Supreme Court, had

Municipal Act and given popular
government in the Islands another
setback.
The might-have-beens, we are
pleased to note, did not happen in
this instance. The Court has refused
to bubble on technicalities. The law
is interpreted by common-sonse
rule that 1t is not the province of
the courts to overthrow the obvious
purpose of the people in developing
their local government within the
broad limitations of the Organic Act.
The d Ell II has not enthusod
over the Municipal Act because it
has so much of municipal form with
out material increase of popular
government substance Something Is
gained, however, when we have Ho-
nolulu city in name. as other cities
are, SO that it will not be necessary
to give long explanations to visitors
regarding our peculiar conditions"
The leaven of popular government
is steadily ut work and, having the
municipality organized. the next step
will be TO secure during each legisla-
tive period a larger share Of local
control as events and the capacity of
the people Justify. 40

OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG MEN
H IN HAWAII.

Opportunities are not lacking for
young men in the Territory Of Ha-
wall. Everyday events prove this,
although much is said of the narrow
future that offers our youth.
Director Wilcox of the Federal Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station, in
speaking before the Territorial Board
of Agriculture at its last meeting,
stated that young men were wanted
to become experts in the rubber in
dustry-to learn the business.
Here is Il prospect that might well
appeal to any young man, with am
bition and natural liking for work
in the field. The rubber industry Is
new to Hawaii. If II Is a success. 1t
will go forward to a profitable stage
under the direction of trained and
experienced men; trained under local
conditions and possessing thorough
knowledge of local peculiarlties of
land ana climate.
The opportunity is exceptionally
good because of the assistance and
moral support available on, every
hand, from the Territorial Board of
Agriculture, the Federal Experiment
Station, and the College of Agricul-
ture and Mechanic Arts. and from
the practical men of affairs VINO want
efficient workmeu engaged in, their
industrial projects.
The men who will direct the new
Industries of these Islands are the
young men of today who are willing
to get in and work from the ground
up" They are wanted everywhere
and the young people in our schools
who appreciate this are the ones
who will succeed. and at the same
time make n name for themselves in
the progressive history of Hawaii.

them in the Army and Navy. at a
great expense to the country rather
than burden posterity with other
millions of war debt and further
millions of pensions to the widows

LIGHTING BY GASOLINE
is STOPPED BY COURT

There are several places in Grand
Junction lighted by gasoline, and in
view of this fact and also in view of
the more or less general use of gaso-
line for lighting purposes, the follow
ing from a Denver paper is of more
than passing interest
The use of gasoline for lighting is
a misdemeanor and leaves the Offend
er liable TO heavy fine. according
TO a decision recently made by the
county court, whicn determined that
il is unlawful to burn 1t as an illum-
inant unless it first passes inspec-
tion by the state oil Inspector. The
finding of the court also clears up
the question of liability of parties
using gasoline taken from storage
tanks inside of the building Hum
mated The provisions of the law
that the tank containing the gaso-
line must be buried underground
outside the building were entirely
upheld The new Interpretation of
the laws governing the use of gaso-
line for lighting practically wipes out
every gasoline lighting system in the
city and state, as no one Will care OF
operate their plants with the danger
of heavy fines hanging over their
heads.
The decision was made through Il
complaint brought by John l.. Rus
sell. state oil inspector. in February
against Mike karmigos and James r.
Staphopules, proprietors of the Crys-
tai billiard parlors. located on Stout
street, next to the Equitable building.
/ The information charged that the
/ billiard hall men were using gasoline
for lighting which had not been in
spected or approved by the state
inspector. rs the law provides, and
that their gasoline tank was not
buried underground outside the
building. The decision makes all
contentious with respect TO the use
of gasoline plain and is very con
elusive that il cannot be used for
lighting without running the risk of
heavy time The defendants in this
case were fined on the minimum,
which is $50, because they repre-
scented 10 the court that they discon-
tinued the use of the gasoline when
the Information was filed,
Another fact which shows the dis
favor with which gasoline is regard
ed where security OF life and property
is emphasized is in the determine
tiou recently made by the board of
fire underwriters who raised the rate
- cents a hundred on all property
where gasoline is stored for any pur-
pose.
The decisions of both the county
court and fire underwriters will un-
doubtedly work "A hardship on a num-
Der of people who have put a good
deal of money into gasoline lighting
installations. but as the safety of life
and property are the first considera-
tions they will be welcomed with
much favor. There is no one who
will dispute that the use of gasoline
in the immediate vicinity of build
