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.
