After discussing the states financial

TO the duty Of the legislature to pro-

come within the states revenues.

reputation of the district attorneys office as
public office working to enforce the law in
an impartial, unbiased, levelheaded, effective
manner
The passing of Jeff McCarn from Hawaii
will allow the Reorganization of the district
attorneys work, and his successor will not in
herit the failure of McCarn, for Hawaii holds
that failure to be purely personal.
There are many men here who have recog
nized McCarn's willingness to fight against
heavy odds, while entirely disagreeing with his
methods. He had qualities which might have
made his work here wonderfully effective, were
they not submerged by other characteristics.
In some other office, where the acid test will
not be applied to his legal ability, and where
noise and vituperation can pass for logic and
sound conclusion, he may be successful.
1t is about as certain as anything that
McCarn will direct vitrolic attack on Hawaii
when he reaches the mainland. He has done
it before For that reason it is proper now, as
he rs leaving the territory, to point out the
main causes Of his utter failure as public
official. Those causes spring from within the
Tennesseean himself.
