Honolulu nntl Maul ouRlit to com
bine on Bomo Hurt o( u ralnmnklng
proposition. May It not lio possible
for the Kcsthal to mark an epoch of
rain?
Make no mistake. Hawaii needs
tho united forco of all Its Inilustrlcs
lit making a successful llRlit for con
tinued prosperity under it high iiiii
tecthe tarllT.
Maul Itepubllcnns can do nothing
mote sensible than to patch up their
differences and get down to n llrst-clat-s
fight to cult the elections. C.l.o
and tako a little.

sako e hope It Is u more slnccie out
fit than that which boosted him for
Hllo Dlstilct Magistrate, nnd then

Andtcws to fill the position.
Now Isn't It a colng siume that
V. 0. Smith Bhould be preparing the
May to let down Kepolkal for his
error of Judgment, after Iaukca has
Icon "vindicated," though charged
by tho Grand Jury with Indiscretion
tl-at prevented nn indictment for bri
bery? George P. Castlo lias made an ap
peal to the wealthy people of the
Territory to give freely of their sur
plus for the promotion of good works.
With characteristic generosity ho
sets the pare. Mr. Castle is right.
His proposition is without fault. We
would supplement the appeal by n
further suggestion which caii bo
made becauso it does not hit Mr.
Castlo: When spending this surplus
in matters of business remember the
citizen population, nnd that It Is
worth while to spend a little more
money on n given project if by so
doing a larger number of citizen la
borers are given employment and
more citizen homes made prosperous
and happy.
FIELD FOR PROMOTION
PHOTOGRAPHS
Tho visit of tho Tleet has brought
out the fact that the distribution of
a good number of Honolulu photo
graphs among tho leading newspapers
and newspaper syndicates of the
country would be a first-class invest
ment for the Tcirltory. Tho Pro
motion Committee could well take
the matter In hand.
Tho majority of the largo news
papers had their Honolulu photo
graphs prepared In advance, so that
tho Illustrations might accompany
the Honolulu dispatches received dur
ing the stay of tho Fleet in this port.
Some of the Illustrations appealing
In first-class jiapers vvero so had ns
to bo outrageously funny, and others
wero distressing. Tho New York
He'rnld syndicate, which was one of
the least of the offenders, sent out
pictures of a Fort sttcet scene taken
during the dais of tho old mulo
tram-cars. The bobtail tram of
J cars ago was forced on tho readers
attention like a toie thumb.
Local correspondents aro usually
supposed to look after the needs of
their papers In this respect and pos
sibly an Impioved set of photographs
will appear with tho mall at tides.
Many newspapers, however, will hold
.the old stock cuts and use them for
months to come unless n special ef
fort Is made to bIiow them the error
of their vvny and point an inexpen
sive correction.
Tho Promotion Commlttco could
prevent much of this pictorial mis
representation In tho future It It
would mako up a series of Honolulu
photographs and forward to all the
syndicates und to metropolitan nevvr
papers that syndicate their Illustra
tions and special features.
The expense would not be large,
the newspapers would appreciate it;
the local correspondents would not
suffor; nnd Hawaii would bo greatly
benefitod in consequence of mainland
Madera hnvlng Honolulu represented
ns it is today.

IAUKEA AND THE "REFORMERS "
The leport of the Grand Jury after
a ruicful investigation of Sheriff Iau
kc.t'B relations with ono Isoi should
confirm the Sheriff In the belief that
the II u 1 I e 1 1 n was quite right in
suggesting that he should resign his
otllce
In the fiist place, the Sheriff had
mixed himself up so insulfernbly that
the Gland Jury appears to have gone
r.t the case with a view to bringing
n cilminal charge against him.' The
leport of tho Jurors savs "that nu
criminal charge can be made against
Sheriff laukea, as the evldenco does
not wairant It."
This is the first direct Intimation,
so far as wo nro aware, that tho enso
vtas so deeply Involved that It was
believed to bo possible to hold tho
"reform" Sheriff under n criminal In
dictment. TliM In itself would indicate that
the agent of tho reformation was, to
say tho least, not an artist in hand
ling tho business of police adminis
tration. Hut the Grand Jury sajs more.
Tho investigators find that Isoi was
undoubtedly well-meaning in his de
sire to bribe tho Sheriff, "but in view
of the indiscreet conduct of Sheriff
laukea, both in this attempted brib
ery and with regard to his prior
transaction the borrowing of $100.
an indictment could not be secured
against Isoi."
Could anything bo more lidlculous
than the Intel prctntlon of this, by
tho apologists for laukea, as a "vln
dltntinn"? The ordinary public will probably
lead this ccerpt fiom the findings
of the Grand Jury as sufficient proof
of the Incompetence of the Sheriff. If
that paragraph does not mean to con
vey that a briber might lmvo been
brought to justice had it not been for
the bungling of tho Sheriff the in
discretion of borrowing $100. riom n
proper object of pollco surveillance
then the man who wrote It did not
use his words advisedly.

have paraded their lloosoveltlan vlr-

lues beforo the disgusted public, and
maliciously maligned efficient nnd
honest and discreet officials with de
liberate misrepresentation and bil
lingsgate, should point to this report
of this Grand Jury ns a "vindication"
of their representative the reform
Sheriff!
It Is curprising that peoplo with
such a reroid behind them can tako
such a stand and keep a straight face.
The Grand Jury, which held
to the criminal side of the ques
tion, has mado out a case sufficiently
strong to make the resignation of the
Sheriff appropriate. An officer whoso
indiscreet act upsets the course of
Justice finds tio pedestal In tho front
ntiK of capable, common-senso offi
cialdom.
Add to this the further Indiscretion
of becoming financially obligated to a
leader of tho red-light district, and
jou have n combination of weak In
competence or childish Innocence that
almost makes one weep to contem
plate.
When tho men who arc so anxious
to make out a caso against Ureckons
present this record of the reform
Sheriff ns a eamplo of what they can
do in the way of reform, what do ou
think the Attorney General of tho
United States will say?
What would Roosevelt say?
Perhaps the guardians of our mor
als will Indeed do even so foollch a
thing as to present tho laukea iccord
as an additional charge ngulnst
Ureckons. Many silly things havo
been done. One of tho remarkable
features of the whole affair Is the
seraphic calm with which the self-appointed
"moral" censors havo viewed
this whole incident. Their silence Is
intensified because of tho wholesalo
campaign of malice they have at var
ious times conducted against repu
table citizens of the Territory nnd
competent officials of tho Territory
and County who hnd tho courago of
conviction and performed their duty
without fear or favor.
Theso "reformers" cither deceive
themselves and nro to be pitied or
they aro the most Intolerant nnd vi
cious persons imaginable.
As to tho honesty of theso peoplo
who find that Sheriff laukea has been
"vindicated" wo havo only to recall
that only a few days ago the same
outfit viewed with obvious alarm and
expressed contempt tho remarks of
W. O. Smith, who stated thut Judgo
Kepolkal of Maul had Bhown terribly
poor Judgment but had done nothing
criminally wrong, when borrowing

"from the, outstart of the controversy,

carry out their plans without hitches.
Hotli of these expectations have been
fulfilled, though thero has been no

It is nevertheless a fact that month
after month n number of Jnpancso
have secured passports on false pre
tenses or under misrepresentation and
the figures of outgoing Japanese havo
been larger than successfully enforc

larger than either tho Japanese or
