MURDER AGAIN.

From the Hawaii Herald
Still brutal murders continue TO be committed on
this island And, they likely TO continue long
human life is held cheaply and murderers new
er swing for their crimes 1t makes people ponder
on what sort of crime must be committed in Ha-
waii 10 earn the moose. The kohala murder. and
worse of little Hattie Humane still rankles in the
minds of those who think that savage murderer
should he hung by the neck till he is dead.
There would he far less murders and criminal
assaults girls if some of the brutes were hanged
for their crimes There some men in this world
whom nothing seems 10 affect in the way of soaring
them from the commission of murder except the
death penalty The proof of the matter is TO be
right the island of Hawaii, where over thirty
slayings have taken place during the past three
years and not neck has been stretched for single
crime. ~..s-.
Second degree murder and mansaughter verdicts
are too common altogether and an effort should be
made to fight every out to the finish instead of
accepting pleas of guilty in the minor degrees of
crime. But then, what is the use, after all? 1t
generally turns out that soft-hearted governor
commutes the just sentence of the law and inter
feres with real justice Life is cheap in Hawaii
that is the lives Of innocent victims of murderers.

Deputy Attorney General Arthur G.

THE WARNING.

BY the conviction of the woman accused of owner
ship of dsorderly house in Kalihi, Rev. c. Fl. Me-
Fey has part of his fight to clean up this dis
tricti But there is long way yet to go. The pro
scouting attorney said unoficially regarding the
Kakalina case that he did not doubt that the charac
ter of her place was bad but the difficulty was to
prove it. The pastor went out and got statements
from several reliable witnesses and with these in
reserve, the prosecution had little difficulty in get
ting the plea of guilty with the promise of suspend
ed sentence.
If there other disorderly houses in Kalihi-and
Mr. McNey and his assistants at the ehildrens play
ground say there arethe result of this case should
be fair warning. That sentence was suspended in
this ease is that the full penalty will
not be meted out on the next conviction--in fact,
now that warning has been given the next offender
should be given "the limit"
