THE COUliT Ol5 CLAIMS.
The Uiillctln Is disposed to ngrco
with tho Jmmn Times In Its statement
thnt Its corresttondettt lins given In
Incorrect view of tho Intention of tho
Hawaiian government In paying tho
damages occasioned by the Chinatown
fire. This conclusion Is easily i cached
by virtue of tho fact that tho United
States Government, will not allow Us
local appointees to deal In an arbitrary
manner with citizens of any foreign
country.
At the same time tho Hawaiian Gov
ernment has successfully conducted Its
scries of delays in connection with the
court of claims In a manner that war
rants thoso Interested In the affair be
lieving anything or nothing. If the
government wcro making an nttempt
to avoid responsibility for tho damage
suffered from tho lire It would bo ex
pected to carry on the campaign ulong
studied lines of delay. Certainly evi
dence is wanting to Indicate an active
deslru to respond to the demands of
tho sufferers promptly.
Moro than n mouth has passed since
authority was received by an executive
order of the President establishing tho
court. Yet tho Executive has not or
ganized the court and has given no In
formation ns to Its scopo or authority.
Judging from the letter published from
Delegate Hartwell, the Executive It
kclt Is doubtful us to what tho court
Is to do. It would apepar that Mr.
Dole asked the President to appoint
tho court nud having received the au
thority for organizing the court Is now
seeking Information as to what It is
to do.
What is tho mission of tho court?
Has it legal authority binding upon
the Treasury or Legislature or Is It
merely a board of arbitration or Is It a
commission to Investigate the accuracy
of the detailed claims filed by tho per
sons suffering losses from tho fire?
It Is tho usual policy of tho Ha
waiian government to define a policy
and allow tho people to gain their
knowledge utter It Is put In operation.
We can hardly expect tho government
to chango Its custom at this lato day,
but tho serious condition which the
losses forced upon business houses In
the burned district warrants tho de
mand that the policy of delny shall
cease, and tho court, whatever Is to bo
Its authority bo brought Into being and
Its nature- defined at tho earliest pos
sible day.
WHAT WOULD SATAN 1)0?
Tho best way to determine tho suc
cess of Rev. Mr. Sheldon's work In
running a dally newspaper from the
text "What would Jesus Do" is to com
pare his practical application with tli 3
probablo result should a newspaper be
conducted from the text "What Would
Satan Do?"
Accepting tho fact that tho dally
newspaper Is one of tho world's great
est educators tho first move wo might
anticipate from Satan would be an ef
fort to make his paper as dry and un
interesting as possible, glvo special
promlnenco to long articles of a more
or less religious character and assume
a Jesuitical censorship over tho news
columns by publishing only such news
ns tho people "ought to know." Satan
would announce tho first mission of his
paper to glvo tho nows, as Sheldon has
douo and then proceed to not only
mnko tho nows n secondary feature,
cutting out n good portion of It, but
at the same tlmo warp tho news by
attacking his personal opinions to Im
portant paragraphs.
If Satan wcro ns keen an aitlclo as
ho Is generally credited with being ho
would doubtless cut out n'lvrii'tlsrnicnU
of ladles coiscts, hoso ana kindred
articles of apparel. Ho would thus
draw particular attention to a lino of
evil minded thought which nt tho pres
ent tlmo it Is safo to say docs not oc
cupy tho minds of ouo-tcnth tho news
paper ant. inagazino readers young or
old. Satan would do just ns Sheldon
Is doing In this respect. Ho would
tench tho children that artlclcr, of fc
malo apparel are suggcstlvo of thoughts
low and vulgar. He would disgust
people of average Intelligence with
newspapers In general, by forcing upon
them a class of heavy seml-rdlglous.
matter for which tho peoplo have no I
tlmo In tho rush and hurry of business
llfo, nnd which can be furnished exten
sively in tho religious or secular jour
nals appropriate to lelsuro moments.
Thn Tonekn Pnnltnl unilnr rinn iranb'a
I
management of tho Ilev. Mr. rihchlon
has had n wide circulation. It Is a
newspaper freak, and as piiuiiikpii of
metropolitan Journals nil rci 0311I70,
freaks catch the people for a tlu.c. If
tho press despatches properly icpre
scnt the frenk editions of tlio Tnpckn
Capital, however, the Ilev. Mr. Sheldon
Is one of the most magnificent "false
alarms" ever foisted upon the public.
If the Topeka Capital wcro conducted
on tho sumo basis for a year there
would be another headstono In tho
Journalistic graveyard "sacred to the
memory of tho Sheldon freak." Tho
Topeka Capltni might continue ns n rc
llglousjourunlccnsored by n fanatlc.but
tho people would be forced to buy an
other paper to get tho plain unvarnish
ed, uncensored news of the woild. If
Sheldon desires education In conduct
ing a Christian newspaper ho will do
well to enlist ns n reporter tho Mont
real Witness or a bundled nnd one
dallies of tho United Stales that pub
lish tho news without giving promt
nenco to crime and scandal, that pub
lish editorial opinion in Its proper
place and that make no nttempt to Jam
bigotry down tho throats of an Intelli
gent public by warping facts as honett 1
reporters nnd correspondents find
them.
