EDITOR OF MAUI NEWS

EDITOR OF MAUI NEWS:
Dear Sir:-On Arbor Day we plant
ed many trees along the fence in front
of our school building and | am glad
to say that instead of little trees about
six inches tall they are more than
twelve inches high now. Before very
long we will have a nice hedge along
the road. Some flowers have been
transplanted in front of u school
building. Some of them have buds and
flowers on already. Some of there are
Marigolds.
| think flowers help the appearance
of a place very much.
Some OF us here have received very
interesting letters frow our unknown
friends in England. They sent us
pressed leaves and flowers which are
very interesting to us. We have re-
ceived a good many cards from them.
We also have sent them pressed
flowers and cards. We are now max
ing Easter cards with Easter lilies. /
will try and send n TO my friend in
England.
Yours truly,

COM MUNICATIONS
JUDICIARY SYSTEM CRITICISED
EDITOR MAUI NEWS:

EDITQR MAUI NEWS:
Are the people obtaining too much
law under our courts systems and
practices and too little justice? | mean
by law" the evasion of statutes. II
would seem so. And how long are we
tax payers and voters going to submit
TO and accept decisions from u iud-
Fes based olsctechnicalities and some
times s%ubversive to justice or equity.
In district courts especially this prac-
tice should not be tolerated.
Always following what appears to
the layman to be a miscarriage of JUS
tice is a train of evils which later have
to be combated and paid for. One of
the worst breeders of radicalism-
that radicalism upon which the civiliz-
ed world is now waging warts a lack
of faith in the integrity of the courts.
The belief is widespread that the
courts are maintained at great eX-
pense merely to benefit the lawyers
pocket books rather than secure to all
the people that administration of JUS
tice and equity they have a right to
expect. The befogging of the issue
by bubble of lawyers practicing in the
lower~%c courts is especially to be de-
plored. Here the foreigner or newly
trained citizen often gets his first in
PRODUCTION to the workings of our gov
eminent and the court should merit
his confidence and not arouse his con-
tempt.
Everything in the good citizen" line
or welfare work is a failure if the
court is a failure-if there is a sus-
picion of Interior influences attaching
to court decisions.
The procedure in the lower court is
almost if not identical with that of the
higher court and is vastly too expen-
sive for the simple cases of the law
abiding man in his protection against
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1921-03-11

his less orderly neighbor. This tends
to encourage disregard of the law.
When any man refrains in his neces-
sity from using the court believing in
its fruitlessness, then lawlessness is
promoted. 1t should be possible to
get an honest judgement without drag
ging a ease through all the courts with
benefit to no one but the lawyer, but
it doesn't seem so.
Thanking you for space,

CHAPTER XXI.

Aqueer atmosphere of depression
seemed about this time to: have af-
fected the two inhabitants of Number
81. .Grosvenor Square. The Marquis
had suddenly become aware Of an
ainllessness in life which not even
his new financial hopes enabled him
to combat. The night of his weekly
dinner at Trewly's he spent In the
entertainment Of three ancient whist
companions. and it was not until they
had gone and he was left alone in the
silent house that he realized how
empty and profitless the evening had
been. Day by day, after lunch, he
sent out the same message to his
ichauffeur-fve o'clock for the . club
instead Of three O'clock for Battersea,
and on each occasion the words seem
ed to leave his lips with more re-
%luctance. He walked each morning
In the Park. as carefully dressed and
as upright as yer, but one or two of
his acquaintance noticed a certain
difference. There was an increased
pallor, a listlessness of gait, which
seemed to bespeak an absent. or a
p~reoccupied mind, He, even well
coined the coming, one morning just
as he was starting for his promen-
ade. of Mr.. Wadham. Junior. Here
at least was diversion.
Mr.. Wadham, Junior, had been re-
hearsing his interview and his pros
pective department towards the Mar
GUS on the way up, and he started
the enterprise to his own entire salts
faction. He entered the library with
an exceedingly serious air. and he
took great pains to be sure that the
door was closed \after the retreatine
butler before he did more than re-
spond to his distinguished client,

Anything fresh, wadham?" the
latter inquired.
