TO PREVENT uaHAppIHEss.


"a court of domestic relations, snch as pro-
posed at ameeting today of pnblic-spirited men
and women of Honolulu, should be of very
great value to Hawaii As is well stated, it
would aim at corrective and preventive action
rather than punishment; i it would attempt
definitely to prevent divorces by reconciling
the parties; it would deal early and in a broad
way with the marital troubles such as now. get
on court calendars usually at stage when
reconciliation is impossible. 3
Such court would carry further the splen-
did work that Judge Whitney has been devel4
oping. $50
"A year ago the Star Bulletin commented
upon the experiment IN Chicago of "a court
along the lines proposed for Honolulu. We
are reliably informed that the Chicago expert
mentis working out so successfully as tosmake
it a valuable precedent. . ~

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS v1ND1cArED.


Attorney general Gregory's refusal to start
an anti-trust suit against the. Associated Press
at the behest of the New York Sun association
was based on perfectly reasonable grounds.
No proof whatever could be adduced to show
that the Associated Press holds monopoly
either of newsor of news handling. In the very
nature of news, it is impossible to secure q
monopoly of it, and there is not q city in the
country where rival news furnishing compan-
les are prevented from operating if they can
sell their product to the newspapers. The As
ISOLATED Press is an organization of publishers
for gathering and disseminating news to its
own members. It is a conspicuous example of
reliability and efficiency. The attacks on the
Associated Press. are invariably made by those
who are ignorant of its constitution and pur-
poses or those with an axe to grind.

Japan's demands on China have given some
Of the mainland papers the idea that Toxic is
trying to- assert new Monroe Doctrine for the
Far East. In factsif the Japanese demands be
only half as far-reaching as current report has
made them, it is more than a Monroe Doctrine

the gateway. of the Orient. No possible inter
probation of the Monroe Doctrine could cover
the points which Minister Hioki is believed to
be pressing at Picking. -
In what way could the Monroe Doctrine
sanction demand by America that Mexico, for
instance, grant the United States government

Nh tIoLs STEMS RESOLUTIONS.

The resolutions of Speaker Holstein,
introduced in the house of representa-
tives, which seeks to place the adjust.
ment; of the rates to be paid by the
sBlantatioa mills to .homesteaders in
the hands, Of governmental authority,
is a uBiaue proposition. -
Lowing entirely aside the question
of whether some Of the plantations are
always disposed to deal fairly with
the iiomesteaders, the present system
is decidedly complicated, in that each
plantation has its own way of figur.
ing and the conditions are so numer-
Gus and complicated that sthe home
steader seldom knows at which end
Of the horn he may come out. So
s14It might be we'll for the government
TO take charge of thes whole matter,
and arrange schedule which must be
paid for cane in every part of the
Territory. This schedule should be
based upon the current price of sug-
ar. OF course, everybody knows that
such schedule is now aimed at by
the mills, but, as before stated, each
mill has its own system, and 1t would
take Philadelphia. lawyer to- figure
out which of any two contracts offered
by mills is the better. .
we had not thought, however, oft
being a matter for Washington to
handle. The territorial government
should be able to deal with it and,
perhaps, more satisfactory than the
national government, acting at long
range and having only Impartial inter-
est in 1t. :.
In SO far as Kauai is concerned how
ever. we doubt that the necessity, or
even desirability, of such an arrange
ment exists. We feel quite certain
that the homesteaders of Waipotili
are perfectly satisfied with the con-
tracts that have been offered them by
the mills. They are intelligent men
over there, and they have figured
pretty close on the contracts offered;
and we have yet. to hear of a single
Instance in which there has been
definite complaint. Identically the
same thingfmay be said Of the Kala,
heo regionsfs
If our Information is correct (and
Hit usually isl the homesteaderss would
welcome any scheme to simplify any
one of their problems: but on Kauai
they are now working in the most
friendly and satisfactory manner with
the sugar mills, and are likely to view
with disfavor any movetor plan which
might alter present relations in the
slightest. Garden Island.
