Saturday VIII be day of testing for
the republican party of this state.
When its delegates meet at Che
halls they will either throw off the
stupid. reactionary grip of Louishart-
ism which has cursed the party in re-
cent years or else they will prepare its
shroud.
At present writing there is CHEEKY
outlook. II seems likely that forward
looking leadership will assert itself,
just as IL did last Saturday In the King
county convention.
II seems certain that Gov. Hart has
lost the confidence and the backing of
his own party leaders just as he long
ago lost the confidence Of the mass OF
people.
The real big. brainy men in the party
organization Of this state land there
are some) are awake 10 the situation.
They know that the last few Legislative
sessions were ench disgrace. They
know that the Hart poll tax-code-
extravaganza regime cannot be de-
Tended. They know that the people Of
this state demand progressive iegisla-
ton, progressiye-minded administra-
tion.
And they feel in their bones that
matters have come 10 a pass where the
people Of Washington are pretty soon
going to get that type Of political serv-
ice---or else junk some political ma
chimes
That is why The Star believes the
Washington G.. o. p. will. on Saturday,
step out with new vision Of political
leadership.

PUBLISHING THE NEWS

From time to time one hears the assertion that a newspaper
" should publish all the news, its readers are entitled to it." Such
assertions usually come from those who have no experience as pub
licss. AS a matter Of fact such a course would be distinctly against
what should not be published must be allowed to decide. He may
at times make errors of Judgment, for he is human, the more human,
the better editor.
The law recognizes that not all that is "news' should be pub
lished and the result has been libel laws. Even the truth may be
lbelous under the law. There is only one good and valid defense
for the publication of an article that might be Gbelous and that is
proof that the public interests demanded such publication.
Therein is found the scale upon which an editor must weigh the
ACCESSIBILITY of publishing any particular article, the demands of
the public good.
1t will readily be seen that the publication of the names of
juvenile deinquents might work serious injury to the offender later
in life, long after reformation. 1t would handicap the child for life.
The publication of the names of girls or women victims OF certain
ofenses is usually undesirable, merely causing anguish OF mind to
them and to the members of their families. There are times when
would ocme to him through the publication of the story, but it
might cause greater pain and deeper sorrow to his innocent wife
and children. Especially is this so in the smaller communities. To
publish the names of violators of an ordinance where no serious
injury resulted to any one from the violations, again especially in a
small community, merely tends to subject the persons named to
ridicule without public good. In a small community such publca-
ton may well be withheld. A merchant may innocently violate a
seriously injure his business. If a fragrant offender it is different
for then the public veal demands full publicity.
So the editor of a paper may believe that some proposal Is
against the interests of the community. If he publishes details of
such a proposal or movement he would lend strength to it through
the publicity he gave it. If it were not mentioned it would lose
strength and momentum from lack of publicity. If what he con-
siders public good can best be secured through giving full publicity
to any subject it is his duty to give such publicity in the news columns
and express his views in the editorial columns.
In the highest sense the editor of a newspaper is as much a
public servant as is any office holder. The Conscientious man feels
he is a trusted representative of the community to work for the best

obainabe for it. Me must use his own judgment IN making his
decisions and such judgment is not infallable, but n VIII Try 10 Dc
honest. He realizes the weapon he is armed with. Ii he attacks
an individual, he is attacking an unarmed man only us peret IN
the righteousness Of his cause can excuse it, but sure OF his cause,
in his own mind, he will not hesitate.
If a newspaper should print all that is handed to 1t, all! that
comes to the attention of its reporters and the editor, 1t would set
the community by the ears and there would result an unbearable
state of affairs. Should this paper favor a project that would be
detrimental to the Territory of Hawaii, though on the face OF 1t
advantageous to Maui, it would be unpatriotic and false to its trust.
Should it oppose something that was for the general good OF all
Maui though somewhat preiudicial to Wailuku, it would be equally
false to it's trust. 1t must weigh the good and the i'll that may come
from the publication of ''news' and must act accordingly.
1t sounds very satisfying to say that all news should be publish
ed irrespective of whom it might hit or hurt, but such a theory put
into operation would work for i'll and not for good, would destroy
the usefulness of any paper that tried such a policy.

THOSE ARBUCKLE FILMS

Roscoe Arbuckle has been acquitted on his third trial of respon-
sibility for the death of Virginia Rape. Now arises the question
of whether the films the showing of which were suppressed after
his arrest shall be exhibited as if he had not been involved in an
exceedingly ugly escapade.
Though the Honolulu Star-Buletin printed a picture of Roscoe
Arbuckle In its news columns last Thursday it published editorials
on Friday and Saturday opposing the showing of films of him in
these Islands. Just where does the difference come inf If he should
not be shown on the screen, why in news cOumnsY
None of Roscoe Arbuckles photo plays have anything objection
able in them. He does not participate in photo plays of the ultra
suggestive type nor in those that tend to arouse criminaity. The
films themselves are not subject to adverse criticism. There are
many pictures for which not so much can be said that are shown
in all the theaters of the Islands as elsewhere.
Only one argument against the showing of the Arbuckle films

appears to hold good. If his films cannot be shown he will be fore
ed from the profession. If they are shown he will secure an income
from them. Does the public want to punish him for the st. Francis
Hotel affair by forcing him from the screen? There are some who
will say that the monetary expense he has been put too and the
suffering that must have been his while under charges has been les
son enough, has punished him for any past looseness of conduct.
If the Arbuckle films be shown the episode which resulted in
his trial will gradually fade from the public recollection. Certain
ly there is nothing in his corpulent, ponderous and ungainy awkard-
ness that would corrupt the morals of any one when shown on
the screen or in the columns of a newspaper.
