OTIS APOLOGIES.

than to provide by law the means
by which the school trustees can

The Senator lays great stress

ENFORCEMENT OF Law.

The newspapers all over the
upper part Of South Carolina are
filed with reports of crime. What
is responsible for this state OF az
fairs? There seems to be a wave
Of crime, all manner Of violence;
there must be cause for this,
the legal sale OF liquor has been
eliminated in the upper tier Of
counties for several years. and
yet crime continues. There must
be a laxity in the Laws enforce
ment: nov; how can this be rem
edied: In a number Of counties
Law and Order leagues have been
organized but in oar opinion, this
will onl; be spasmodlc: the only
way we see out Of the dilemma,
is the inauguration of a strong
constabulary force. well paid and
fearless: and, unless there is
something done to arrest this
spirit of lawlesness, it will spread
throughout the State and make
of former law observing COM
mrn;ties, hot beds of crime.
Our observation is, it needs a
strong arm and a watchfui eye to
keep down crime at best, but
when crime becomes prevalent IN
one section. like disease, It
spreads, and is difficult to stop,
therefore We say some means
must be devised to stamp out the
criminal tendency, but it cannot
be done by the idea OF looking to
liquor alone as the source Of all
crime.
AS long as a people condone
crime OF a graver nature, the az
erage man will not look upon the
illicit sale OF whiskey as grave
ofense. There is violation Of law
every day. and the vioiators are
frequently officials, and men who
stand nigh, nothing is said or
done about it, and this gives en-
couragemcnt TO the lawlessiy in
clined, but if the law is admins
tered equally and to all alike.
things would be different. When
men almost openly and brazenly
commit frauds in business, and
retain their social status. or be-
cause of their increased wealth
as a result Of a compromise or
swindle deal, they have higher
standing than before, what else
can be expected Of those who
lean toward the wrong?

A sE1F-ASsuMED MONOPOLY OF VIRTUE.

Rev. j. L. Harley. the head Of
the anti saloon league in this
State, as result Of hasty speech
has raised the ire of number
Of gentlemen N Columbia. Mr..
Harley does not seem to mind
charging with dishonesty those
who differ with him, and as
sumo for himself monopoly Of
virtue. It is cot always safe TO
take for granted everything a
man clai.ns for himself, eSpeci
ally when that man can find no
virtue in others.
Mr.. Harley isvery enthusiastic
in the cause he represents, but
he should know there are other
good men who are equally SIM
cere in differing with him, and
when he impugnS their motives,
his may bc questioned also. The
cause he represents has won q
great victory, and he now can
afford TO work for recruits.
rather than making provoking
statements concerning those who
do not see things through his
glasses. The ProhibitioniSts have
carried 36 counties, and it seems
10 US they should direct Mr. Har-
lev'S attention now to looking af-
ter the enforcement OF the law,
instead OF making all kinds OF &C
cuSatious which he must modify
whenever he is called to taw.
There are as good men who are
as sincerely opposed to prohiol-

It was claimed when the dis
pensary law started, that it was
a step towards prohibition. and
now that statement IS verified by
Senator Tillman who, in speech
last Thursday expressed his graf
iication at the results Of the re-
cent election. But when the leg
islature provided for the cleo
tions in the wet counties, our rec
objection is, our senior Senator
was considerably disappointed,
a q d censured the legislature.
Times change and men change
with them, which is healthy
sign, even if it comes late.

through town and the route step was
ordered beyond Palama Moanalua

the camp the men were assigned to
tents temporarily, the permanent as
signment being made this morning.
Regulars from Fort Shafter arriv-
ed at the camp ground yesterday morn
ing and pitched the tents. They were
commanded by Major Dunning, who
is also commander of the encampment.
For the National Guard, Captain NJ. M.
Johnson, quartermaster with a corps
of assistant, put the militia camp in
order. Men of both the quartermaster
and commissary departments were at
work there all day,
/ The men began assembling at the
armory about Z o'clock, and long be-
/ fore the hour of departure the place
was alive with volunteer soldiery.
Companies D. of Hilo, 1 of Wailuku
and i of Lahaina had taken up tenn
porary quarters in the shooting gal
lery and formed there, joining the Ho-

the companies averaged fifty men
apiece, which is considered a very
good muster.

PARK SUCCESS

Who didn't take in the Park last
night? 1t seemed as though all the
theatre going people in the City Of
Honolulu attended the fine program
Of this. week ends entertainment. To
say the Park was crowded is saying
little. All evening long the crowds
came and went and Many yesS fully
half stayed during twospe performances.
But the management does not mind
that as long as the people show their
good will and steady patronage, which
they certainly have been doing from
the start.
Last night the 800 seats were full
and there was no stanuIng room, many
people could not be accommodated
and it is safe to say that never in
Honolulus entertainment era has a
larger crowd attended in one evening
If you don't believe this step down
to the Park this evening and see the
crowds. This weeks show is without
exaggerating the finest ever shown in
Honolulu.
