Letter from David Starr Jordan to Theodore Roosevelt
David Starr Jordan spent the summer in Hawaii Territory on behalf of the United States Fish Commission and offers insights into the “complex snarl of Island politics.” Judge Abram Stephanus Humphreys rightfully defeated the charges that were brought against him but Jordan does not view Humphreys as an “unselfish reformer.” The Hawaiian administration is lacking and expenditures are not handled properly. Many judges are partisan and they should be selected with more care.
