jurors regarding an investigation OF
conditions in circuit court, Judge
Ashford said: .~~
st might be well to look over the
conduct of the officials in the dis,
trict court and the reports of cases
of serious delays In the trial of Grim

He continued as follows:
Terms Continuances "inordinate'
The district magistrate of Homo
lulu is reported in the newspapers
to have stated that he never con
tinued criminal case in his court
against the protest of the presecu
tion. Now if that be true, and Il
must say that my own experience
would lead me to the belief that il
was an exaggeratioR4that it is not
structly true and that he was mis-
taken-but il that be true then il
indicates that prosecuting officers
in the district court have been sc
utterly negligent and remiss in their
duties as to consent to such an in
ordinate number OF continuances in
different cases, as must necessarily
destroy their chances of ultimate
conviction and, of course, seriously
impair the administration of the Grim
inal law in that court.
The blame must rest somewhere
for the great numbers of continu
ances, and the prosecuting officers
on one hand and the magistrate on
the other have been engaged in that
little pastime which is sometimes de
scribed as passing the buck each
one blaming the other. 49,.
Where Does Blame Lie? -."
Now it seems to me impossible
that either one can be solely tC
blame. No magistrate would have
the nerve or the face to continue a

protest Of the prosecution. Conse

tional policy, the scheme Of setting the country's
clock an hour ahead. The "daylight saving" cam
paign, Of which much has been said and written in
Honolulu, has proved more than fad, more than a
theoretical conception, more than paper plan

IS even more important, hundreds of thousands Of
people would have an extra hour for recreation in

Appropriations for sea coast bat

that it has not yet been decided where
the batteries will be placed. This de-
cision will come later

Prince kuhiO has punctured the story raised by
chronic troube-makeis here that he is opposing the
confirmation by the L. IS. senate of Col. Curtis +.
Iaukea as secretary of the territory. The prince
wrote personal letter to Col. Iaukea, asking him
to pay attention to the story, and assuring him
that Governor Pinkhams recommendation and Pre-
sident Wilson's nomination entirely in line with
his own ideas that Hawaiians should be recognized
in appointment to high public Office here. The
prince says il is silly TO think that his fight to break
the Liliuokalani Trust-of which Iaukea is a trustee
will have any bearing on his attitude toward the
Iaukea appointment.

beyond that now. am thinking OF

and distilleries of thousands of tons
of coal mined and sent to them every

red blood that Nputs the heart in the

pure blood you can face any hardship,
reach any goal. But you are handi-

Every tissue, bone, muscle, should take
from the blood certain materials and
return to it certain others. When the
poisons accumulate in the blood, perhaps
