Would the new members OF the court feel
at liberty TO decide the question upon

decision OF the Pollock case? The legal

Greer enabled the dissenting Judges at
the first hearing TO maintain that the
question could not be regarded as finally
settled.
Viewing the case IN the light Of a mere
decision between man and man. the jus

the analogy falls utterly. If the opposi-

THE CYANIDE TRUST.

The latest trust to come to the know.
ledge of the public is the cyanide trust
of Germany. II appears to be a close
monopoly, and 10 have the users of
cyanide by the throat. On January
Goth one Of the consular and trade re-
ports issued by the Department of
Commerce and Labor, contained a brief
report from U. S. Consul General Rob
ert P. Skinner at Hamburg on the evan.
ide trust. This aroused so much inter.
est that a further report was called for.
and this report is carried in the report
of June 23d, and It certainly meets
his idea that ''it may serve useful
purpose to define more exactly the ma
ture of that trust
Consul-Gcneral Skinner reports that
the whole of the German output is CON
trolled by the "Deutsche Gold.und Sill.
er-Scheldeanstalt, Of Frankfort.
which has agreements with the other
various manufacturers to take over their
products. or compensate them in some
manner for keeping out of the market
Five different firms, all mentioned in
the report of January both, practically
confirm what Mr.. Skinner says, in the
following written statement of one of
their number:
] should advise you to apply. for in
formation TO the Deutsche Cold -und
Silber Scheidcanstat. in the hands of
which. so far rs we know. the sale of the
production Of all German cyanide makers
is united.
Thus all applicants for cyanide are
referred 10 the one concern which pays
its competitors 10 keep out Of business,
so that IT can control the supply Of the
world. This general monopoly has an
American house which controls the sale
of German cyanide in the United States.
Orders for Mexico are executed from
Frankfort. and a Hamburg firm is the
sole agent for Africa and Australia.
Very naturally, as Mr.. Skinner re-
ports, this mouopolistic grasp of the
whole situation has changed the produc-
tion Of cyanide from being a losing
proposition, dcmoralized BY low prices,
TO profitable branch Of the general
business Of the German concern named.
On March 81, 1908, according to the
published and freely circulated report
of that "Scheideanstalt.' - it paid thirty
per cent dividends on n capital of g.
$4,000, besides accumuIating a reserve
of sl,s56,400, and unpaid profits OF
s93s,000,
The same report shows that the
Frankfort company has relations with
three American concerns. ono of which
sells the product in the United States
and it. states that these companies

REFORM OF PARENTS.

The work of the Juvenile Court in
this city has been sadly crippled from
the first. The statute establishing the
court crippled it by undertaking TO
make IFS control by the county aud its
support by the city. The late Legis.
lature undertook legislation TO help, and
made things worse, And through 1t
all there has been a manifest lack of
means 10 reach beyond the erring
children, to the parents whose indif
ference or ignorance has so largely con
tributed to the bad situations of the
children.
AS means of helping in such de
gree as is possible in this way. the pub.
lication has been begun of the PA.

Juvenile Court, Is editor, and j. z.

need the information and instruction
carried arc apt never TO see it, being
recognized; so especial efforts are
to be made to place this publication
where it is needed and may be of most
service.
From the editorial Greeting" we
select two paragraphs which state
clearly the object and the hope of the
editor, and commend the same 10 the

THE sHER1FF,s BUSY NIGHT.

II appears that altSr the spasmodic
activity exhibited Yby the Sheriff of
this county some two weeks ago, with
regard TO the stockadc.' there was
lull. He was not Jealous in insist
ing that the injunction issued by the
court, of which he is the executive
official should be stcrnly and unyield.
seems to think it good idea TO give
| the stockade rest for while. so
that IT could recover from tho raid
which he made.
Apparently it did recover in great
shape. for on Sunday evening he was
able to find that the cred light dis
| trict' was moro thlckly inhabited
than ever, moro thronged with visitors
of vicious intent, and with more of
the demi-monde there, plying their nm
lawful calling. And so, the Sheriff was
able 10 round up forty-two "soilcd
doves and put them in Jail. 4 mum
bcr of men also were put under ar
rest and doubtless all Will be dealt
with according to law as the Sheriff
interprets the law.
1t viii be remembered that when the
former raid was made upon the stock
ade' by the Sheriff, a "severe front
of justice was put on by Mr.. Hanks,
Justice of the Peace, who would hear
TO nothing but $3.50 bail for each Of
the women arrested. All at once, how.
ever, he softencd later on this point so
much as to practically relieve all re-
quircmcnts Of bail and to turn the
women loose with n warning TO get out
of town.
This playing with justice had It's nat
ural effect. The dcnizens of that place
of vice took heart, and came back TO
it in stronger force than ever After
a breathing spell, they were raidcd |
again and larger numbers than ever
found there,
And now the question is, will the
result be the same this time as beforc7 |
Will the "scvcro front of Justice be |
put on, and then the whole crowd be |
turned loose again TO rally in greater
force than ever in their favorite dens,
and will they be allowed a further
breathing spell by the Sheriff, whose
duty 1t is to see that the court S in
junction is enforced all the time?
Possibly the Sheriff is gagging lit.
lie at this backing and filing, mas
much rs the expected political advan
age to be derived through his maneu-
vers does not appear TO matcrialize.
The whole stockade proposition is in
he Sheriff s hands by reason of his
being the executive official OF the
,ourt which issued the injunction
against the stockade and forbidding
he pursuit of vice and unlawful prac-
ices in that "stockade.' It is up
20 him to make good on this PROPOSE
ion, not on the political scheme or
IS a play TO the galleries made by a
lemagoguc, but as q straightforward
moral proposition, legal obligation
lpon himself, which he must recognize
ind which it would be impossible for
lim to shake off. So far he has not
eemed to sense the obligation, but il
S time he walked up to it.

BY Mr.. DESPLACE

Mr.. Desplace OF Queensland, who
has been visiting the Islands for some
weeks, gave farewell dinner at the
University Club last evening to a
party of friends composed of Judge
Dole, George Ross, A. r. Gurrey Jr.,
Edward Armitage, Ranney Scott,
Noel Deer, and J. p. Cooke.
The table was decorated with
sprays of fern, rosebuds, and carna-
tions with small flags of America,
Hawaii, and England for souvenirs
for the guests. The menu was a
work of art and the menu cards were
very artistic arrangement of the
Territorial flag of Hawaii and the
state flag of Queensland on card
decorated with the green of growing
cane.
A very pleasant evening was en-
ioyed and the party afterwards went

to whom the question has been re.
ferred. decides that the Board of
Health has the power to give him his
freedom without n denomination.
The patient Is q Hawaiian, and was
carried to the receiving station on a
stretcher two years ago In very bad
condition. His left leg was paralyzed,
and one Of his arms was In such a
bad condition that II was found neces.
sary to amputate 1t. Almost immed.
lately after the amputation, under the
treatment of DIR. Wayson, the condi.
ton of the man began to improve, and
he is now no different in exterior ap.
pearance from any other man. DR..
Wayson states that the man would
pass a clinical examination for the dis.
case, but he Is not certain about bac-
THEOLOGICAL examination. At any rate,
he is so much improved that Wayson
states he would pass quarantine in
