The Washington people don I 40.
pear to know any more about the la.
waiian judicial appointments now chan
they did when / left there several
months ago. says Judge Arthur a.
Wilder, who returned Yesterday from
the National Capital.
Mr.. Wilder appears Co be In no par
ticulafly happy frame Of mind when mo
discusses Hawaiian affairs as viewed
from the Washington angle. He called
on some Of the secretaries and talked
over Hawaiian matters. but Ieft with.
out having been able to note any prog.
ress forward.
My mission to WASHINGTON was ia
connection with matters OF legislation
more than with matters Of politics, = no

II had been decided not to attempt any
thing more at this session than ID
finish up the administration measures.
They are mighty sick Of staying IN
Washington, / can ten you, and are
anxious fol- the end 81 tie session. The
ordinary member does not feel so free
to come and 60 as our delegate, you

Judge Wilder dropped into the de.
partment Of Justice one afternoon in
time 10 see the napers nominating
Palmer Woods as United States marshal
for Hawaii being made out TO be sent
to the White Honse for the signature
of the President, prior to being sent to
the. senate for confirmation. Wilder
thought the whole matter settled and
waited for news Of the conformation 60
come from the senate, but II failed to
come. A few days later he inquired
for reasons at the department OF JUS
tice and was told that the whole mat.
ter had suddenly been held up.
~ knew there was no particular OPP
position from Hawaii, so ] take 1t for
granted that some mainlander who
wants the job had the Woods nomin-
alton shelyed, explains the Judge.
Conservative Barron.
Il saws good deal OF Soapbox Bar

would hardly hare bren Iecoqnizel by
,hia Honolulu friends. lie was so very
quiet. He Kept himself mighty busy,
but never got very far. When Mr..
fonng's name was sent to the senate
and confirmed Immediately IL took Bar
ron by surprise, but not to, such an
extent thnt he could not rise TO the
occasion. As soon as he heard the news
he wrote n letter to BurleEon, dating il
the day before, and urging that Mr..
Young be named. Not so bad, was itf''
Judge Wilder feels that President
Wilson'S Mexican policy, while it is
being sevefely criticized in, Washington
and elsewhere ON the mainland, is be.
ginning 10 work out. Eventually Will

what he has done.
Quarreling Must Stop.
AThe general impression in Washing
ton regarding Hawaiian appointment"
says Wilder, Is that unless the Ha-
waiian Democrats get together It is
best TO send as many mainlanders here
as the law allows. They say that there
is no use appointing anyone from here
SO long as so many charges are being
made against almost every one suggest.

outsider whom they know, There are
