THE FIRST AMERICAN.
"Morris M. Estee died this mottl
ing." The message came to Hilo
by wireless telegraph Tuesday
afternoon. Judge Estee, of the
United States District Court for
Hawaii, had in his life visited Hilo
but twice. Two visits were enough
to make everyone in this commun
ity his personal champion. The
news of his death came to his every
acquaintance here as a personal be
reavement and by every citizen the
loss to country and to Territory was
felt.
The Territory of Hawaii, in its
short life, has had no finer honor
bestowed upon it than that con
ferred when President McKinley
sent Morris M. Estee to preside
over the United States District
Court of Hawaii. He was a man
learned in the law. He was more:
he was a man grounded in a deep
sense of right. To him law was a
means to justice; not an avenue of
advantage to plaintiff or defendant.
But his virtues as a jurist are out
shown by his virtues as a citizen.
He embodied in his life and charac
ter and in his official personality
the best ideals of the individual in
a Republic of eighty million indi
viduals. He was citizen before
partisan; he was citizen before
judge; he was a good citizen be-
cause his allegiance sprang from a
good and honest heart and was de
voted to the fundamental but sim
ple principles of the American Re
public. Even in Hawaii this 'grand old
man' was above partizanship. His
unflagging hope was to sec trans
planted here the pure principles of
American democracy. He wanted
a narrow spirit to be replaced by a
national spirit. He wanted the
new born citizens of the Territory
of Hawaii to appreciate in some
degree with him the loftiness of
American ideals. His administra
tion of his office was as stem as
justice, as sweet as charity.- He
met personal indignities from nar
row partizau Territorial bigots as
he met defeat in the greater politi
cal battles at home
without a intir-
inur. His voice was never silent
when factional selfishness turned
Territorial policy awry and away
from American standards.
Judge Estee was in Hawaii the
First American.
THE REPUBLICAN FIGHT.
The Republican candidates of this
county have made a brilliant cam -
paign. The ticket has grown
stronger each day as the fight pro
gressed and the chances for victory
next Tuesday in this county are
good. The Republican vote will
surprise those who have been pre
dicting a wholesale slaughter. So
far as the Tkiuunic has found out
the fight has been fair and honora
ble on both sides. The candidates
on neither ticket have thrown mud
aud the most rabid partizaus have
conducted a clean fight.

II. Lambert, W. 0. Walker, E. N.
Holmes, S. I,. Desha, W. H.
Smith, C. A. Stobie,
George
II. Williams, N. C. Wlllfous
nml the enmpaign niatiacrs have
put forth every possible effort in the
line of their duty to carry the day.
The voters of this county have
heard good common sense business
talk from each of these gentlemen
the past month. The voters have
been led to consider their own re
sponsibilities in this first county
election and we believe the record
of their ballots will be as it should
be for the twelve men on the Re
publican ticket.
ROBERT W. WILCOX.
Thc death of Robert W. Wilcox
takes from the political arena of
Hawaii one of its most potent per
sonalities. He was a product of
the peculiar and unsettled condi
tions of transition from a govern
ment under a tottering monarchy to
a republic with an unrestricted
franchise. He was ambitious. His
ambition, like all ambition, was in
tensely selfish, but it cannot be said
that Wilcox was not devoted to the
Hawaiian people. He was pos
sessed with the idea that his own
preferment was identical with the
political salvation of his people.
He was shrewd and adroit in Ha
waiian politics, and able to keep
himself in the, foreground in Ha
waii. He was without the breadth
and he did not have the capabilities
which a man of his experience
should naturally possess.
In spite of these deficiencies he
fought a good liielong fight. He
was always pitted against great
odds. This fact never daunted him.
He planned and dared as a Napo
leon. It was not his fault if the
fates decreed failure instead of vie-1
tory.
The life of Robert W. Wilcox
was a struggle. He was on the
.,..,.. ,
fightiug hue in season and out of
season. If endeavor and persever -
ance count for anything then the ,
life of Wilcox will be a lesson to 1
his countrymen. Wilcox was con-1
fronted by foes whose methods and
purposes naturally aroused in him
every radical passion. This more
than anything else lessened his
, 1 , r 1 1 1
value as a leader of his people and
. '
impelled him to resort to means
that crippled his influence. How-1
,. . ,r r
ever, to him many Hawaiians for ,
years turned their eyes as to a lib-
cv . , , ,,'
erator. Since he is gone, who shall ,
presume to fill his place in the affec- '
lions of his people.
Tiik meeting to discuss a
apple canning factory for
piue
Hilo 1 showed the latent possibilities of
this .section for the development of
new industries. We have the land
capable of producing the best pine
apples in the world. There is cap
ital ready to put up a plant for
handling the crops as soon as the
output is sufficient to justity it.
The only thing to be done is to
plant pineapples. Many growers
say there is good money in this
crop at from $20 to $25 per ton,
which the cnmier.i would probably
agree to pay.
Tiik voters of this county have 1
been hearing both sides for a mouth, i
Many have put off from day to day
their final verdict. But a very j
short time remains in which to de-1
cide. The weighty reasons ad-1
vanced for support have come from
I Republican speakers. The voters I
have had the situation put squarely
before them. The merits of the
two tickets are thoroughly under
stood. St. .lumen' .Mission.
