THE MAJORITY DECISION ON JUDI CIAL QUALIFICATION . Technical law has so mnny thou halls and thou-ahalt-nots, with tho Individual opinion of tho shall and tho not depending 011 which sldo of tho case you nre Interested, that tho lay man hesitates to participate In a dis cussion of points" of law whero an "au thority" Is cited on one sldo only to bo met with the citation of another "au thority" equally positive, on tho other. Approaching a problem In tho courts, however, from the standpoint selected bythjft lato Judge Esteo when he said, "I want the peoplo of Hawaii to feel that American law Is common Justice," the citizen Is at home with the lawyer nnd the Imposing Judge upon tho bench. The Supreme Court majority decision on the disqualification of Hartwell In the Notley w 111 casa has aroused public opinion because In the esteem of the popular If not legaj majority It violates the prluilple that American law Is com mon Justice. -You can. clto authorities till tho crack of doom, but, in spite of all tho .array that may be furnished, a Justice sitting ln Judgment on a case ln which he las Wn legal counsel for ono of the litigants does not satisfy tho aver nge American's Ideal of Justice, com' ,mon or extraordinary. Add to this the fact that the opinion of the Justlco whoee quiillflcatlon Is In doubt Is tho deciding opinion of a divided court, nnd you have a condition which tho average American seeking common justice, accepts with n snort of disgust. What man wants his case passed upon by a judgo who has acted 'na counsellor and advisor for his o,.p nenl? What mon would not he pleis-- 'n have his caso passed upon by n Judg' who has been his counsellor a:..: . visor? ! What representative of the human race can be an absolutely unbl" 1" judge when ho has been counsellor and advisor for ono of the pinl- o the suit which ho Is called upon to decide? Justice Hartwell evidently believes that ho Is ono of the exceptions to tho rule. The public sees little common justice In this assumption. The Justice Is placed, or places himself, In a posi tion which the layman, If not tho law yer, would recommend every Judgo to avoid. If he be human, ho cannot ea rn po the Influence of his association with the 'case. In his anxiety to bo fair and not lean too strongly toward his old clients, he Is as likely to tip the other way. Admitting his good In tentions nnd Integrity, his decision either way putB him In the unpleasant and Inelegant position of bolng "damned If he does and damned If he donX". Again admitting his good In tentlonc and Integrity, ho Is estab lishing a doubtful and, what seems to the layman, an unnecessary precedent, whlcji may furnish tho ready help in time of the corrupt needs of dishonest men. Frailties of human nature nro such that the average American, aiming to obtain common Justlco, looks upon tho Hartwell decision as holding that nra nlpotence, and ability to rise nbove earthly Influences are possessed by only , n few, Including "Me und Gott." it Is to be hoped that Injustice will not bo done by the majority principle expounded by tho Territorial Supreme Court in tho Notley 'case. There Is tnueli reason for satisfaction that tha doors nro open for appeal to the Fed eral Supreme Court, where It may be possible to have determined whether the Hawaiian declaration of principle squares with the unassailable Ideal that American Inw is tommon Justice. If the "Me und Clott' principle is right, wo ought to know It! DR. JACQUESVDISCOVERIES A few, weeks ngo tho morning paper gave liberal sp.icc to an Illustrated article setting forth ln elaborate de tail a scheme of Dr. V. W. Jacques for obtaining electricity direct from coal. The man who successfully accom plishes this hitherto unattainable blessing will rank as one of tho great est men of the age. Hence It is that scientific men are keenly on the look out for every ndvance that may bo made toward the Invention which will crento greater revolutions than elec tricity itself. The public li skeptlcnl but the sci entist Is ready to accept nil things as possible and acknowledge the fact when it Is clearly demonstrated na ex isting. Therefore the comment of the "Engineering News." accepted as one of the best American authorities, on Dr. Jacques' claims has especial value. That journal says: Ten years ago Dr. W. W. Jac ques, of Huston, came lief ore the public with n claim that ho had Invented n new process for tho production of electricity by tho direct combustion of 10.1l with an efficiency of orr SO per cent. The alleged invention was thoroughly dlscifsscd In our Issues of May 21, ISM, nnd September 29, 1S9S, and tho conclusion reached was that Dr. Jacques had wholly failed to proe his claims. A correspondent In Iloston sends us now a copy of a prospectus of the Direct Electric Co.. In which Dr. Jacques again describes his process nnd asks subscriptions to the stock of n to-be-orgnnlzcd com pany, the proceeds to be devoted to tho work of developing the pro cess, which Is admitted to be not yet at tho stage of commercial suc cess. This proposition Is fair enough and a perfectly legitimate use of Investors' money, provided the statements made In tho prospectus are not of such a nature as to de ceive tha Investor with fnlso hopes. On this point, however. It Is our duty to say that the present pros pectus appears to bo ns deserving of criticism as were Dr. Jacques' publications of ten years ago. He repeats Ills' old claim In tho fol lowing words: "In numerous laboratory tests made with apparatus of scientific value but not adapted to extended commercial use there has been obtained as electricity by far the greater portion of the energy con tained In the coal consumed." If tills were true. Dr. Jacques might very reasonably appeal to Investors for financial support; but the fact Is that Dr. Jacques' claims were thoroughly and public ly discussed n decode ngo before scientific societies and In the tech nical press and wero definitely re jected. If his patent then Issued had really been bused on sound principles and had really shown the way to tho production of elec tricity by tha direct combustion of carbon, the experiment would long ago have been repeated In n hun dred laboratories and would buvo been established as a stlentlflc'fact whether It had been commercially successful or not. Dr. Janucs has shunned by the person of wealth w;ho has plenty of money and can afford to speculate on experiments. It should not. on the other hnnd, be attractive to the frugal man with limited funds who feels that by putting In n dollar today he will securo millions tomor- low, though It be true that the Invent or who finds the wnv to nrodure pIpp- trlrltv illrpct from m.il u-IH tint Inntr lor this world's goods or fame. ON CRATER OF mm 11s 'While tho crater of Kllauca is In dulging In Its rather undignified pe riglnntlons, It cannot cscapo tho watchful eye of tho Territorial Survey Department, which for jours past has been keeping an eyo on these move ments. "There Is no doubt but that tho cra ter of Kllauea la moving," said Sur veyor General Wall this morning, "This Is caused by the fact that tha crater Is building up on one sldo while It Is constantly crumbling down on tho ether." Wall produced maps which wero comrlled at various times and by com parison of which the wanderings of tho crater could bo figured out. It is thus shown by comparing 'tho map made by Frank S. Dodge, with tho ns slstnnco of Mr. Wall, In 1S92, nnd tho latest map of tho crater, mada by C. I). Ilaldwln, In August, 1902, that 111 that period tho crater has moved nbout 1,500 feet. ' Tho Kapapaln land certificate, by which n certain tract of land was giv en to tho Illshop Estnte, in Its descrip tion of Us boundaries has tho follow ing reference: "Thcnco east fj.l 10 feet to tho south lake of tho crater of Kllauca, called Halomaumau " Tho "thcnco" refers to a trig, station on ono sldo of the crater, and ns thcro Is n similar station on the other sldo of It, tho Survey Department can keep track of tho wnnderlngs of tho !ake by tho means of theso two fixed points. Mr, wall docs evidently not Inko much stock In tho contention thnt na tho lake, botng a boundary mark, mov ed along to the southward, tho boun daries of the Dlshop Estate lands move with It. "That Is a question of law," said, Mr. Wall; "but n bull roving about on a field would not bo thought much of ns a boundary mark."

NhW FOOTBALL RULES "The Phllllplan" of Phillips Andover gives the following digest of the foot' ball reforms that have Anally be adopt cd by committee named to Improve tin- game; Tho ten-yard rule wns adopted, thft dlstanco to be gained in three down the same number of down that wcr required for five yards. Mr. Camp and Mr. Held nre strong advocates of th len-yard rulo and the latter said after the meeting, that this rule would un doubtedly help much to abolish mast plays. A new measure drawn up since the last meeting, and adopted Saturday, provides that ovcry player on the kick ing sldo shall be on side when the ball touches the ground. This will put A premium on catching tho ball and means that there will be llttlo or nnnu of the practice of playing n punted ball safe by allowing It to strike the ground first. Its tendency Is also likely to bo toward more scoring. The question of affording 1 proper protection for tbt catcher of the ball Is to come later with a view to eliminating rough work pmys. pass adopted two weeks ago this play wns modified lis follows; One forward pass shall bo allowed on a phy; provided tho ball has not touched the ground before be ing touched by n player of either side, ruch a pass to bo mndo by any man, nho wns behind the line of STlmranga If the ball touches the ground before being I touched by a player of either side.
