TOPICS OF THE DAY
The Advertiser is trying to be
nasty today towards the last legis
lature which it claims did nothing
Who were to blame Th Hawaiian
members who were ready for busi
ness or the obstructionists of the
Geo Carter type And how about
the Dole government which bad no
suggestions to offer no assistance to
-fonder but from the first day
adopted an attitude of hostility and
inBult against the elected represent
atives of the people The blame
for the poor results of the first ter
titorial legislature falls on the med
who could not bear their utter de
feat at the ballot bos The men
who always upheld the rule or ruin
policy The men who in the name
of Americanism annexed an unwill
ing nation and then howled when
the Grst doctrine of true Americ
anism was put before their dohok
the djctrine that majority must
rule and the peoples will be done
That the Hagey Cure was a
gigantic swindle from the first day
it was started here has long ago
been demonstrated The case which
was decided in court yesterday con
firmed the opinion often expressed
in our columns as to the responsi
bility tho syndicate which was out
for money only assumed when they
induced men to take the cure many
of whom were good citizens bright
men and now are in their graveB
through tho deadly poison injected
into their blood Messrs Magoon
and partners can pay their money
in settlement of the against
them but can they restoro to life
their dead viotims or to health
their dupes now suffering from the
Hagey poison That question
cannot be settled before a Grand
Jury here but there is a higher
Grand Jury above before which Mr
Magoon may have to appear some
day and be confronted with the
long row of those who died through
the use of the Hagey Cure whioh
was to bring the promoters at least
20 on their investments
Superintendent of Publio Works
J H Boyd has accomplished good
work by personally inspecting the
forest fire in Hamakua Mr Boyd
has realized that even if the govern
ment had sent a thousand men
from hero to extinguish ha fire
they could not have done so The
fire burns as far as six feet under
ground and when a tree is a blaze
the sparks fall in all directions
where the wind pleases and the fire
continues Heavy rains alone can
save the forests and thnt the un
fortunate district will undoubtedly
soon haves Now Mr Boyd can at
tend to the case of Asylum vs
Crusher and it is safe to Bayfthat
ho will crush the branch of the gnv
ornment which bficauo thoro are
professional meb amorig Its direc
tors think that tho branoh can run
tho wholo shooting match and Mr
department incidentally
One branoh of a government can
certainly not take out injunction qr
bribg suits against another branoh
of the government Thd question
can only be settled by tho Legisla
ture aud lots of trouble could be
saved if Governor Dole would call
an extra session That policy is in
accord with publio sentiment but
MrDojeis too cowardly to tafe
the Btep Ha fears Nvithout reason
that it would bo an extra ordinary

A Tost of Morality
SBr 15
The oryness of the Metropolitan
Museums attitude towards looted
treasures of Chinese art affords mat
ter for contemplation Mankind
mis changed wonderfully little in
the past thousand years We are
sq used to being told in glowing
periods that we are batter than our
benighted forefathers that we have
njrbwnto look upon the civilized
I Njjrld bb a vast village improve
ment society actively occupieu in
good deeds Higher standard of
morality is the phrase we hear
ofteubnt It is held to imply some
thing agreeable about ourselves
something a trifle vague but grati
fying something to be repeated in
sistently and explained as seldom
as possible
Yet ever since man began to steal
his fellow mans possessions which
was as soon as there were any pos
sessions to steal he has betrayed j
aninstinctive desire to right hjth I
self by giving part of them away
Thisamiable weakness has been en
couraged throughout the ages and
its fruits may be seen in many fair
cnurcnes ana isojivgnis mat sun
adorn the land also iaancieut
ajjns ppuses and iuthe foundations
of venerated universities The
piincely freebooters of old sought
by these tenefactions to buy their
peace with
Heaven Their un-
princely successors today seek to
buy back the forfeited respect of
the community When some fine
pillaging old Norman had ravaged
a province he dtvoted a portion of
his spoil to building an abbey and
hls edified neighbors even those
who had contributed indirectly to
the pious work said Thii is a
goSlymin When a gifted finan
cier in our own lime has stolen ten
millions from the people he giveR
one million to a museum a college

low citizens who httveuncoi

bed the
bane-
faotor Meanwhile both press and
pulpit enthusiastically assert our
higher standard of morality-
Even in the matter of self delu
sion there has been little change

devoutness that Our Lady interest-
rid heelf personally in his con
aTuestsV ThePuritan lebfclier un
hesitatingly assigned to the Air

EugJishman refers with admirable
complacency to the God of Battles
The American olergyman alludes to
our glorious efforts in the Philip
pines The pious German Em
peror feeU that he is an instrument
in the hand of Providence The
missionarys wife aa no disturbing
doubts when a few Chinese porce
lains oome ber way The personal
standard of morality can still bear

something which allows to fnstltu

brokers If no looted Chinese
treasures find their way into any
American home our personal stand

from all American museums and

dazzling one Life
