He has been practicing here constant.
ly since that time, with the exception
of a period in 1895, when he took a
lengthy vacation, or what might be
termed political exile" by reason of
his supposed connection with the re-
evolutionary project begun against the
Hawaiian republic that year. For
several years he lived at San Fran.

1902, when he returned here.
Judge Edings, like Judge Ashford,
is kamaaina of the territory and
many of the attorneys remember him
as one of their first friends when they
came here in their youth, years ago,
to begin their practice in a strange
and alien land. He is southerner
by birth and education. His ability
as jurist is well known. for he once
was circuit judge on Hawaii, where
he served with satisfaction.
He had the endorsement of the Bar
Association of Hawaii for his present
position, and he and Ashford were
nominated by President Wilson on
July %.

A SANDER ON OUR JuRIEs

That was a highly interesting
piece of news which the afternoon
dailies taking the Associated Press
dispatches gave to the public yester-
day announcing that the supreme
court of Georgia had affirmed the
Judgment of the court below, i'm
posing the death penalty upon Leo
Frank, a prominent and wealthy
young Hebrew in Atlanta, for the
murder of the fac,ory girl, Mary
Phagap.
The case attracted nationwide
interest. for the killing was most
cruel and atrocious and the testi-
mony, while circumstantial, seemed
to point Enthusiastically to Frank as
the guilty man. His plea that his
conviction was due to prejudice
against him because he was Jew
shows how desperate is his case and
was a pitiably weak one No jury
was ever empaneled in this country
that would convict man of murder
for any such reason or even permit
that fact to turn the scale. The
Jew and the Gentle not, only have
equal rights in theory. but they get
them in fact at the hands Of Amer
lean juries, for. while there may be
Yet among the moro ignorant and
primitive classes some leavings of
ancient, race prejudices against the
Jewish people. It takes no unjust or
offensive practical shape worth men
tioning in business and social rela-
tons and is unknown In the admin
istration of our laws. This nation
is too big and broad and made up
of too many bloods to tolerate such
iniQuity as that. We must go to
medieval Russia stepped in supersti-
tious ignorance to find the denial of
justice to the Jew because he is a
Jew.
We don't know whether Leo
Frank is guilty or innocent and We
are glad that we don't have to de-
eide that issue, but We feel sure that
he had a fair trial and that the
question of his race and blosd had
no influence in determining the YER
dict. Our courts and juries are very
fallible human institutions, just as
they are in all parts of the world,
but it is gratuitous SANDER to say
that they would refuse fair weight
to the evidence and condemn a man
to death because he was Of the Jew.
