OFFICR AHDfEMPLOYBE
To be an officer of the Govern
ment ii not to be an employee io
til held by our Supreme Court and
otbeif even tha Attorney General
but an employee ii an office holder
under the same ioiti utioo ao otheii
hold and therefore an officer There
fore what i the difference between
an officer and employee I
An officer an generally held ii
one whose position ie specific wib a
peolfio lalary and auob por ilion ia
either by Executive or department
al appointment but an employee it
juit the opposiU an Appointee of a
bureau without eprciiio salary In
tbia connection it ir held by tbe
Attorney General that member of
tha House of Representatives can
hold office by being an employee
that ir without being commissioned
for a apeoifio purpose and salary
yet he rutydraw mouey by a war
rant issued y the Auditor upon the
Treasurer Still with rll tbir he is
not holding an V ffice but is only
au employee
And still agnii duly elected
Representative of the people which
I he Organic Act ptf scribes shall not
during the term for which he U
elcted be appointed or eleoved to
any office may run for a ouaty of
Hon and be either elootud or notand
that prnhibtory provision has no
beating whatever ou him or on his
tentjrn a uch T jprpntatiye An
other oUim is tl -at a Representative
can brcm eejfrtrsetor under the
am lUliiWM1 BgliBi
Government and that ha can hold a
Federal position in spilo of Ut This
ia a peculiar diolion to our way of
thinking but such it is and has
been permitted
Hero follows the dtfiaitiona of
both terms as given iu the Sandard
Dictionary Employee a porson
who is employed one who works
for wages or a salary one who is
engaged io tho service of or ia em
ployed by another And that for
office is a particular duty charge
or trust as one conferred by public
authority and for a public purpose
an employment undertaken by com
mission or authority a post or posi
tion held by an official or function
ary specifically a position of trust
or authority under a government
Taking the above as guldp we
holdjtuat one ia as good as the other
but that teohnioally it is not But
we fail to see unlese we are too
narrowly bound and may be deemed
prejudiced how an eleoted Rep
resentative can either hold an of
fice or be an employee under the
Goverbment of which he is a part of
the law making body This is as wo
see it but better and mora forcible
minds may see it differently than
what we do
Sohool teachers are considered as
employees and still they are offioers
under a branch of the Government
but a notary public who is commis
sioned by a department is held not
to be an employee but an officer
This is another technical peculiarity
of how the law is twisted to mean
ope thing one way at one time
and another another way and
at another time according as to how
it suits the mood and humor of
those whose duty it is to interpret
the laws
Having given the above full awing
and leeway we are compelled with
all due deference to our legal lights
that either is as good as one and the
other We still adhere to the belief
that a duly elected Representative
of the people cannot bold office nor
be employed directly or indirectly
in any capacity not as a contractor
even during tbe term for which he
was eleoted
MUST AGREE HITS POSH
Even Professor Mosea would not
derpair of tbe natives if be could see
them turning riowi at tbe polls men
like Asbford and giving their aloba
to an island administration which
has not a single native in its official
family and represents in its stand
ardr all that tbe missionaries nou
tend for When tbe natives do that
when they show themselves willing
to work with rather than against
tbe better class of white men when
t hey cease orying Hawaii for tha
Hawaiians and substitute Hawaii
ans for Hawaii when all these
tbiDgs have corao to pass surely
there Ib hope Is it not possible
despite his surviving fault that the
Hawaiian is becoming slowly but
steadily a trustworthy member of
the American voting body Ad
vertiser
That is extremey oharitable on
the partof our missionary opponent
So Ion 6B the Hawaiian will
stand in nitli them sa we under
stand the hui behind tbe morn
ing presr he is good people
and a trustworthy member
of the American voting body But
if be wdl not do that a4 persists
in having a mind of bis ownfotMi
no longer a fit subject for the
franchise
TOPICS OF TfllTDiY
Atad a new Moses has been found
in California who decries tho idea
of giving Hawaiians univeral auff
rage as a very gravo mistake But
Wd think he is rather late in coming
out of his hiding
Dr Cooper is thankful to public
spirited citizens who assisted in
giving him a vacation trip to the
East After enjoying a publio graft
for years at a salary of 250 a
month in a position not calling for
over two hours a day it would
seem impudenoo that he should
come back and accept oharitable aid
to promote his excursions abroad
Prof M M Scott is right when he
aaya the County Aot ahould be a
simple document oarrying not over
2500 words The Act of 1903 carried
53000 words but just what for it ia
impossible to understand County
government is well understood and
is easily explained in a short bill
that can be comprehended by every
one There is no reason whatever
for tying it up in a mass of legal
phraseology and buncombe Lets
have it simple short and to the
point
The suooesi of Dave Barry over
Foley in Los Angeles last night and
the defeat of Joe Millet by Billy
Woods at Dawson City will proba
bly result in bringing tbe two cham
pions of Hawaii together Suah a
matoh would Yo of intense interest
to the -sporting fraternity of Hono
lulu and it would be a great card if
it could be pulled off here Joe
Millett is the heavier and harder
man but there has been something
woozy about him lately and he has
lost friends on account of it On
the other hand Barry has gone up
very considerably in tbe seale

The passing of the Russian fleet
from Vladivostok into the Pacifio on
this side of Japan is a matter of ex-
tremely great importance The real
objeot of the flet is most probably
to interoept and destroy tbe steamer
that psssed here some days ago with
a cargo of nitre for th Japanese
government If this cargo is either
safely captured or destroyed Japan
will be out of gunpowder in a very
few month unless shipments oan
be smuggled in from the United
States and the war must come to an
end fafter finishing up the nitre
steamer the Russian flaet proceeds
ia this direction and overhauls Am
erican steamers such as the Korea
Mongolia and China jis -they have
done British and Qeymiq vassals at
the Suez Canal there will ba some
war fun right around us
