CERTAIN PARDONS

The Carroll News fired a broadside at the Carrolton Conserva-]
tive, because of the latters fault finding with Governor Brewer for
pardoning a negro blind tiger, that will echo all over the state. 1t
was a terrific shot, which evidently went straight to the mark. The
pardon, as the News very correctly shows. was asked for by many of
the best citizens of Carroll county. and if there was any error it was on
the part of those interesting themselves in the negroe's liberation.
The Conservative, in criticising the Governor, referred to the
fact that he had but recently paroled a blind tigress IN Lincoln
county which had caused much comment in that county. The Con-
sentative failed to state in regard to the Lincoln county negress that
her parole was asked for by the Rev. Eichelberger, the head of the
AntiSaloon League of the state, and that a large number Of the best
citizens of Lincoln county were on the petition. When the facts
came out about the Lincoln county case, the Governors accusers
sealed their lips.
The Carrolton Conservative, in its come back at the News.
states, among other things. its friendiness to the Cover
nor and that it rejoices in his good record on the whole" We have
never regarded the Conservative as being friendly to the Governor,
and with all Difference to it we believe that a criticism of his admin
istration would find reader space in its columns than a commenda-
sion. The papers record justi6es this assumption. Gov. Brewers
record as a private citizen and as i public official has always stood
for law and order and for law enforcement. He needs no defense
on this proposition and we know that he would be the last one to do
or say anything that would encourage the law breaker or that would
interfere with the proper administration OF justice.
The matter of pardons is one of the most delicate and the most
irving that confronts a Governor, and when a petition is signed by
law abiding citizens and presented to the Governor by good and law
loving men, it is but reasonable for him to conclude that justice and
mercy demand the exercise of executive clemency. 1t is the hard
hearted hat do not pity those in distress, and when a Governor errs
on the side of mercy he has not deviated very far from the princi-
pies established by the God of the universe.

THE DEMOCRaTIC NOJNINEES

On Tuesday the democratic national convention which con
vened at Baltimore June Is, nominated Gov. Thomas Woodrow Viii
son Of New Jersey for President on the 46th ballot. His nomination
was the result OF the most prolonged struggle in the history of the
party, yet the very length and persistency Of the contest is in a
measure a tribute to the integrity of the convention and is proof OF
the the fact that the delegates were bent on sitting conditions and
the candidates and selecting the man that they deemed best to lead
the party in this crucial hour,
Now that Wilson is nominated. there is but one thing to do:
Let all democrats, and all who believe that special interests and
special privileges have run the national government long enough,
rally to his standard and elect hin He is a scholarly man. As
Governor of New Jersey he has shown himself to be bold, discreet
and aggressive and that he is ever ready to fight the boss" in poll
tics-the man who S in it for plf and plumber. Happily for the
party, all elements at Baltimore joined in congratulating the nomi-
nee and 1t looks like there is to be a united party behind the ticket,
Gov. Wilson was born at Stanton, Va. Dec. 20, 1856; hence he is
a Southern man by birth and much of his youth was spent in the
South.
On the third ballot Gov. Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana was
nominated for Vice President. He. too, is a good man and will add
much to the strength of the ticket. Wilson and Marshall ought to
be able to defeat Taft and Sherman, who stole their nomination.

THE FAIR THIS FALL

The Sentinel is pleased to note the active and well directed eft
forts that are being made already for the fair this fall. AS will be-
seen from our news columns. committees have been appointed to be-
gin now a perfect system of arranging details and fostering interest
in the fair. The management is feicitating itself on the fact that it
begins the work for the fair this year with 5000 more in money than
ever before had at this time.
Everything is encouraging, and let it be hoped that a most gen.
eral cooperation will be had. Especially do we hope that the farm
es of the fair district will avail themselves of the opportunity given
them to show the best of their products. 1t is the seeing and the
hearing of other people and the comparison of ideas that lead to
new thought and new discoveries. This means just IS much, or per-
haps more, to the farming classes than to anybody else. So we
would emphasize the idea that agricultural and live stock fairs should
have the undivided cooperation of the farmers.

Anyway, the Baltimore convention has proven that with many
distinguished men the garments of party loyalty fit very loosely. In
some respects this augurs well for the country at large: The Old
ing very beautifully relegated to the shades of a malodorous past.
The people are happily demanding men and not SO much the pary's
stamp.

In a little while after Wilson's nomination at Baltimore, Tues
day evening, Governor Brewer wired the writer from Baltimore:
"Wilson nominated amid great enthusiasm and everybody harmo-
NOUS" which is significant in showing how readily all the delegates
acquiesced in the work of the convention and augurs we'll for party
success this fall. Let us hope that the Governors optimism and en-
thusiasm will permeate the party throughout the United States.

If Clark has been right all these years. would one single act
granting for the sake of the argument that it was reprehensible,
prove that he is unfit for the confidence of his party and the country
at large? There are very few men who could stand the test, if their
lives had to be measured by one act. The application of this rule
would PROFESSIONALLY leave William J. Bryan without the fold

The Mississippi delegation were prominent factors in the Balti-

list.

NEED FOR i FISH COMMISSIONER

ga
That HaNaii's waters are rapidly being
robbed Of their almost uncountable wealth in
fish is fact little realized nov but Increasingly
apparent In another column a. correspondent
today calls attention to this thoroughly alarm
ing state of affairs and urges that some action
Be taken TO guard the seas finny denizens from
the present short.sighted and interruptions
f0rays Of market fishermen.
The action needed is an extension of the pro-
lection Of the department Of commerce and labor
through its bureau Of fisheries, and in this case
that means the appointment Of q federal fish
and game commissioner who shah reside in Ha-
vail and. furnish the vigilance and the ability
needed to stop the present dynamiting Of the
waters, the taking Of fish hardly larger than
minnows, the taking Of fish in spawning season
and the taking Of crabs, Holsters and the like IN
the spawning season. So long as there are no
federal fishing laws enforced here, Hawaii as a
territory can do comparatively little to protect
the fish. The last legislature passed, after con-
vulnerable wrangling, a law to protect mullet, but
1t has been broken repeatedly, as matter Of
common knowledge, while as to any general
legal restrictions on fishing either within or
without the three-mile limit in these waters,
there are none and no present way Of enforcing
such as already are on the federal statute-books.
1t doesn't particularly matter whether the
fish commissioner for Hawaii is named from
Hawaii or the mainland, except that a local man
would know South Sea fish the better and would
Re able to check the present inroads Of market
fishermen the quicker The point is to get such
q commissioner and to get him busy.

THE NEWS OF THE HEARINGS

No more important hearings have been held
in the history of the territory Of Hawaii than
those now IN progress before Secretary Fisher.
On their outcome depends the structure and fu-
tnre operations of government in Hawaii, for it
cannot be doubted that if Secretary Fishers in
yestigations lead him to believe mainland res
ident should be appointet governor, he will not
hesitate to recommend the necessary change in
the organic act
Because of the Importance of these hearings,
because of their value to the people of the terri
tory not only for their possible result but for
their daily presentation of the facts of present
|0fefiment, the STAR-BUIIETIN is publishing
ost by day a complete account of the hearings.
Not only is there given a general summary of
the mornings session and more lengthy out
line of the proceedings, but these are supple
mented with stenographic account of practi-
cally air the testimony given, the more import
ant parts being published word for word.
with hearings ending at 1870 O'Clock, this
psper is giving complete account of the hear
i,,cs to its readers at 80 o'clock, and the Sec
ond edition, issued at 3 80, contains all of the

HAWAIps FISHERIES IN DANGER.

September ii, 1912.
Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir:-It has been great satisfac-
ton to many people to see that you
| in recent editorial have taken up
/ the question of our fisheries in such
an able manner, and Twill ask you,
in furtherance of this policy, to give
publication to the following remarks
on this subject.
1t is to be regretted that according
to the judgment of experts the local
fisheries are seriously threatened with
even total extinction If drastic meas
ures are not adopted for the preser.

waters. Through the courtesy of
Prof. John Thompson.l of the Kane
hameha school and Mr. George G. Al
len, who has made special study of
/ fish life and has had practical expe-
/ rfence in the Alaskan fisheriessFtiIe I'M
spectors of the local fishmarket have
gained valuable knowledge and prac-
tical information which should prove
of the greatest advantage to the fish
cries in our local waters. IT is the
opinion of these experts, who have
fully sounded q warning, that 5if Illicit
fishing 1.-THE use of understood nets,
giant powder and throw-netsf is not
stopped, the rapid diminution or even
extinction Of food fish will be only a
question of time The experts mem
toned have thoroughly demonstrated
to the inspectors Of the market, who
highly appreciate their cooperation,
the manner in which to designate the
sexes of the fishes and thereby point
out the cause of protection for the
fishes which should be preserved. The
experts have proven their qualifica-
ton by pointing out the sex of fish of
fered for sale, demonstrating their
theory by opening the fish and show
ing the spawn in the female and the
melt in the male The practical
knowledge includes the crab, which
now has become a.searcity here
! through the indiscriminate taking
from our waters of the female crab
ready to drop their spawn which nat
urally has resulted in the well known
fact that no crabs of edible size are

uralIy that food or delicaey is daily
being depleted. The federal law else
where provides that no net less than
two inchs or one inch square can be

here. to the great detriment of our
fisheries. The cause of this gloomy
outlook is primarily due to the fail
ure. on the part of the federal author
tiles to appoint a qualified game and
fish commissioner whose duty it
should be to designate what fish
should be caught and when, and what
seasons should be closed. The county
market inspectors would then be in

the parties offering for sale fish
