It is no greater folly than third party movements in Hawaii. How many burglaries have occurred in the last three months, and neither the culprits nor any part of the swag recovered?. What is the police department doing to prove its efficiency? It might come to the mind of our local enthusiasts, that the revolutionists in China are more in need of financial as sistance for Red Cross work than suggestion of whether they should fight or hold peace conferences. POLITICSJjF 1912 It is high time for the voters of this city to begin to look about and decide what they hope to do politically this year. Too many decide too frequently to do nothing, and then there is trouble. Regardless of what effect the appointment of the Govern or may have on the situation most everyone is agreed that the present situation is not a good one. One of two courses is open for the voters. We might say three but we can hardly believe that anyone will intentionally walk with eyes wide open into vviiat has brought about pres ent conditions. First, the voters can begin work early, strengthen the party machinery by getting sterling and reliable men into the conventions and on the tickets. Second, they can by proclaiming disgust with the results ol their own mistakes in strict partizanship, break off on "good man" tangents. That means three parties in the field during the campaign and the election of incompetents to public office. The latter course is that usually taken by men who are either too lazy or indifferent to study exact conditions, and find it more comfortable to fallow easy chair, parlor ideas that sound pretty in theory. Let it be remembered that we have two Territorial con ventions this year two for each party both of which are fraught with great possibilities for Hawaii. There is every prospect that the delegates from Hawaii in the Republican and the Democratic conventions may have a deciding voice. This is not a year of walk-overs in national politics. The conventions for local nominations arc of no less im portance. "We want good men" is the first remark heard in con nection with all the conventions. Let it be remembered that we shall not lack for good men if all citizens start in early on politics and do not let their prejudices get the best of their judgment. Details of management will also have a bearing on our ability to secure "good men." For instance, the Republican system of nominating its municipal and legislative candi dates the same day is one of the most potent agents for a weak and poorly balanced and unrepresentative ticket that exists. It has not applied with the same force to the Dem ocrats, but if they expect to come to life this year, the Demo crats will do well to heed this Republican experience. There are a hundred and one things to consider. The purpose of this reminder is to point out to B u 1 1 c t i n readers that the route to the goal of "good men" is paved with forethought, not with sleepy might-have-beens. It is high time to be considering what shall be done polit ically to put the government 01 Honolulu in shape to properly meet the great work now at hand and to be thrust upon us in the twenty-four months to come.

A much vexed intention In the law of Ilfi' Insurance has Just been set tled by tliu Supreme Court of tho ('lilted Stalls. Tliu general rule Hint one nmy lnsmo Unit In which ho linn tin Intel est nnd which tho law docs not foibld to be Illumed has nlwuys been held to Imply Unit In order to obtain n alld nnd effective policy of life Insurance tho patty seeking It mint hno some Interest In the life upon which Insurance Is nought, biijh the New York Sun. This Is known as an Insurable In tel est. To hnc such nu Interest In the life (if another one must ho "so related by ties of blood or marriage as to have a rein-unable anticipation ol advantage from his life"; or If not thus related ho must stand In the po sition of n creditor or surety of tho Insured person. In tho cntly d.iys of life Insurance the courts wero In clined ton aid n restrictive view as to tho classes of persons who possessed nn Insurable Interest In tho llces of others; and Lord Ken) on is reported to have held that n father could not Insure tho life ot his son because he had no pecuniary Interest In It. Tho tendency of the later decisions In this country has been tho other way: ami tho simple relationship of parent and child has been held In man) of the States to Rive tho parent nu Insmnblu Inteiest In the life of the child, Irro specthe of any pecuniary l elation or obligation between them That a wife has an Insoluble Inteiest in the life of her husband is every where conced ed; and iih ii general rule a husband has an liiBiuablo interest In the life of his wife, though this has been occa sionally denied In cases where the wife could be deemed only a burden by reason of hopeless Invalidism, lun acy or the like. The light of u ci ed itor to insure the life of his debtor ami thus senile the eventual payment of his debt has been recognized fioin tho llrst. The reason why tho law lias always thus insisted upon the existence of an Insurable Interest In tho party who seeks Insurance upon the llfo of an- othor is plain. As Mr. Justice Holmes snjs in the caso to which we refer: "A contract of Insurance, upon a llfo In which the lusuieil has no In terest Is n pure wager that gives the Insured n sinister counter Interest In having the llfo come to an end. Tho ery meaning of nu Instil able Inter est Is nu Interest In having tho llfo continue nnd so one that Is opposed to clime. And what is perhaps moio Important, tho existence of such an Interest makes n roughly selected class of persons who by their general relations with tho person whoso llfo In insured are less likely than crim inals at large to attempt to compass his death." tho suit which has just been decid ed by tho Supremo Court relnted to the ptoceeds of n policy of Insurance upon tho llfo of ouo John C. llurcli- ard, now deceased. The Insurance company admitted Its liability but could not determine whether tho money belonged to the ndnilnlstiator of Mr. lliirchard or to n surgeon minied (irlgsby, both of whom claimed It. it seems that Mr. lliirchard, after paying two premiums and when a third premium was overdue, fell III nnd needed money for u surgical oper ation.

Tho Su promo Court upholds tho assignment in toto, deciding that it entitles Grigs by to the whole proceeds of the pol icy, notwithstanding his lack of any Insurable Inteiest In tho llfo of Uur chard. There hao been Intimations the other way In earlier decisions of tho Supremo Court, and Mr. Justice Holmes frankly concedes that the (Mr cult Court of Appeals might well hes Italo to disregard them, though now that the question Is squarely present ed there is no actual decision that "ptecludes us fioin exorcising our on ii Judgment upon this much debat ed point." Accordingly tho Supremo Court decides that the holder of valid Insurance upon his own llfo may law fully sell and trnnsfu.

"What we want now," con tinued ho, "Is n statesman with a knowledge of luternntlon.il law.
