TWO NEW JUDGES.

PRESIDENT Wilson's nominations today place on
ne HAWAIIAN bench two men whose appointments
IRE experimental 1t rests entirely with them
Nith their ability, character and devotion TO duty
whether they make or mar unusuaal opportunities
Assistant e. :. Attorney Samuel b. Kemp is one
Of the mainland Democrats sent to Hawaii because
|Of local Deinocracy's hopelessly bemudded condi.
ton and because mainland Democrats have political
debts to pay. That they are being paid with the
patronage coin of Hawaii is quite as much the fault
OF Hawaii's factiOnridden Democracy as il is the
FAULT Of our national political system with its dis
tribution of s'pluns" in exchange for campaign
Efforts The lack of suitable judiciary timber in the
ranks OF Hawaiis Boufbons and the ceaseless sIGab
bling of the greedy grabbers have been sufficient to
disgust the department of justice and the president
and conyincetthem that il is proper to name main
landers for important Office here.
Mr.. Kemp Is hardly known in the community As
u. s. attorney he has conducted himself quietly
local attorneys hardly know what to expect Of him
az jurist. but all wish him well.
The nomination. of Mr. William H. Heen is nat.
nrally received with something of pride here in the
success of Hawaiian-born Young man who is
ected for responsible Office by the president of the
United States lie is Young jurist he is
tried and lawyers measure service at the bar he
is still Juvenile But youth is no bar to the
cess of man who combines ambition. brains and
energy. He has an opportunity such few Young
lawyers are given. The appointment will be widely
popular with espeople of the islands, outside Of
Honolulu as fwelI as in this city. Whether the
choices are wise depends entirely on the record the
two judges will make.

100 PER CENT ROAD.

Some discussion was aroused at the supervisors
meeting last night concerning traffic the new
ayed streets Of the Beach Walk section. Also some
comment because Beach Walk residents asked
the city engineers Office to keep the streets closed
and allow the new concrete TO set" Certain of
the supervisors seem in favor Of allowing the streets
10 be opened few DAYS after the concrete is laid,
and say that great Inconvenience is caused because
the entire neighborhOod is virtually shut off for
auto or other yehcular traffic
The Beach Walk residents are paving the entire
cost of their paving improvement. They paving
100 per cent expense. and what they ask is 100 per
cent good roads. All they ask is that the plain let
ter of the contract and specifications he lived up to-
These call for closing the streets for 30 days after
the concrete is laid, and the provision made so
that the new road would have time TO set firmly
and season. The supervisors have right TO
dfy this contract after it has been accepted by the
city government and by the property -owners, and
after the have begun paying assessments for
its fuflIment ...:# !"
City Engineer Collins SAYS that in his judgment
the contract should be observed, and the board
should back him TO the limit. Supervisor Hatch's
remarks last night indicated that he favors observa
ton of the contract and of good engineering prac
tise. How can the city expect to have good roads
unless, after paving is laid, the specifications safe
guarding the new material are strictly observed?
