After hearing Mr.. Bishops speech
on the great development, the COM
mercial developments, of the Terri
tory of Hawaii, the yearly increase in
production Of the islands in the last
forty years, 1t Is a wonder how any
intelligent man can for one moment
advocate the cutting up of the lands
that are in such high state of culti-
walton, to give it over to anything in
the small farm line. They cannot pos
sibly keep the land in its present high
state of cultivation. they would not
have the money; they have not the
ability, 1t is utterly impossible for
them to do so under any conditions
and circumstances that may arise.
Isn't what we have on the islands
worth while? An increase of sugar
from few hundred tons yearly to the
100000 tons that Mr.. Bishop told
about? The great fields of pineapples
that we have on the islands should be
credited to the planters system that
is in vogue in the territory. 1t is quite
possible that none of the large
planting interests have a dollar in

It was plantation interest money that

THE VILLANUEVA CASE

Honolulu. T. H.. Nov 80, 1917.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: After reading the statement
made by Sheriff Pua of the county
of Hawaii. published in your paher on
Nov. p. 1917. in the matter of Jose
Vtllanueva. a Filipino who is now in
Oahu prison. serving life imprisOn-
ment for the murder Of Harriet XII
name. who was murdered in kohala
district some time during 1915. 1t is
stated that Sheriff Pua said Villa.
nueva is the guilty party and Garcia 5
confession is not true. The writer
hereof. Filipino, has resided within
the territory of Hawaii for about seven
years and considers Hawaii my per-
manent residence.
Also have deep interest in at.
fairs pertaining to my countrymen in
this territory, and dislike the attitude
that some citizens and government Of
ficials have toward local Filipinos
here. 1t Is my desire to see more har-
mony than has existed in the past
and now exists. l consider many OF
the things that have taken place, es-
Filipino cases.
For instance, Jose Villanueva is a
Filipino. He was tried before the
Third Circuit Court of Kailua in De.
cember, 1915, on the charge of murder
in the first degree, and was convicted
and he was sentenced to be hung and
was brought to Honolulu in the early
part Of 1916 to be executed.
OF course before any man goes to
the gallows the governor of the terri
tory will have to sign the death war
rant with the recommendation of the
attorney general, and after the attor.
ney general had examined the tran
script of Villanuevas case, reading
page by page and making a careful
investigation of every angle Of the evi.
dence of Villanueva's case the attor.
ney general did not believe that there
was enough evidence to send Villa
nueva to the gallows, so the step he
took was the recommendation to the
governor to mitigate the sentence to
life imprisonment, and as the COVER
nor, after considering the said recon.
mendation, approved the same, then
Villanueva's life was saved. Now
therefore by such recommendation Of
the attorney general, and approved by
the governor of the territory shows
plainly and clearly that the verdict
rendered by the jury had lacked a
sufficient and careful investigation and
contemplation of the evidence in the
case as was deserved. Jurors should
realize that in order to bring such a
verdict the prosecution must show in
a plain and certain manner that the
defendant had murdered a human
being with malice aforethought and
without authority or justification or
extenuation by law, or murder com.
mitted deliberately, premeditated NAL.
ice aforethought, is the only crime
punishable with death.

Frank statements of opinion from those who
know what they talking about are generally well
come. Even disagreeable truths are often worth
listening to. But one is constantly hearing the
most absurd ideas and opinions expressed by people
who have neither knowledge of the facts nor wish
to learn them. These generally pride themselves on
speaking their mind" AS matter of fact they
are speaking what passes for a mind-a sort of
mushy mass which contains neither power of alb.
sorbing knowledge nor power of analysis. You will
hear of.hand claims and statements which are ridi.
culously wrong you will hear declarations which
only remotely border actualities-and the people
who make them are generally very proud of what
they consider their fearessness of speech The fact
is they have mistaken fearlessness for looseness;
frankness for mere shalowness.
