TnE papers and correspondents are

FIas the law a moral right to pre-.
vent gambling'" We say yes. But a
portion Of this community seems to
think differently There is law
against gambling on our statute books
which forbids playing billiard pool for
money, forbids raffling, forbids holding
lotteries, forbids selling pools on horse
races, and forbids playing cards or
other games of chance for money.
This law is partially enforced against
Chinese. But when a body of Cau-
casian gentlemen meet for a quiet little
time it is considered all right il pool
playing, pool-selling or any other form
Of gambling known to this moral town
make part of that "quiet little time.
Perhaps seven out of ten of this
community male and female -- are
fond of fine horses. We do not think
the proportion is overstated, because
we believe he is very dull land she is
very blind who fails to feel the beauty
of that finest of the quadrupeds s--a
beautiful horse. There are many such
in Hawaii And, of that many, several
Of the most beautiful contested in the
races under the auspices Of the Haw-
aiian Jockey Club last Thursday So
far as the aim Of the club is the en-.
couragement of our horsemen in the
breeding and training of met,lesome,
shapely, and speedy horses, that organi-
onhas, and deserves to have, the sup.
port and confidence Of the community.
To that end the club and its members
offer prizes and purses to be competed
for by the best equine blood, bone
and muscle in the kingdom.
The offering of prizes money or
other kinds is no more wrong in
horse racing than in school manage
ment. So far, the clubs action is not
only harmless but justifable, and even
praiseworthy, finding cordial co-opera-
ton among the most law-abiding and
reputable citizens But the unlawful
and demoralizing public gambling
pool-selling and betting-is some
thing altogether different. The men
who are responsible for it in this com
munity are taking risks that they may
wish they had not to answer for some
day. They are setting bad example
for the youth of the land they are en-
couraging Chinese and Portuguese to
break the laws IN different ways and
they are teaching themselves disrespect
for the majesty of the law under whose
protection they live and prosper

Mr.. S. X. =. Pearce, Of Hilo, has
sent to this office diagram showing
the section Of Hilo Bay adjacent to
Wailuku River. On this diagram is
Indicated the present wharf near the
mouth of that stream In explanation
of the diagram Mr. Pearce says:
"Every heavy fall Of rain at 1Iilo
washes from the water sheds on either
bank Of the Wailaku immense quanti-
ties Of soil, boulders and vegetable
matter. This is not carried to sea but
is accumulated at the mouth of the
Wailuku, often forming an island Of
considerable extent. The heavier part
Of this matter, such as rocks and gravel,
is the last to be removed from its
Judgement, but ultimately II too yields
to the driving force Of the surf caused
by the N. +. trade winds and is whirled
around the corner of the wharf wall,
finally strewing itself along the shore
and completely closing the outlet of
another small stream, the Waiolama
Thus is the beach continually encroach-
ing upon the harbor front and is rem
dering safe landing, even for surf boats
when there is a strong wind On. E.)
blowing, dangerous and practically i'm
possible.
"But this destruction of the valuable
harbor of Hilo can easily be prevented
and the forces of nature herself be
compelled to erect barrier which shall
hold in giant.grasp the detritus continu-
ally massing at the mouth Of the Wal
luku and at the same time be forming
a landing pier, half a mile in length,
where vessels may safely load and un-
load their cargoes. Now, cargoes are
landed by boats and lighters, when the
elements will permit. The plan for
utilizing the wash from the Wailuku
and the impacting forces from the
N. T.. trade winds, is very simple
and inexpensive, and it is proposed by
the protector of the enterprise, to erect
the line Of cribs and jetties at his own
expense, provided that the area to be
reclaimed from the sea, can be secured
to him for reasonable term of years
when, upon the expiration Of the time
of the lease, the land and the improve
ments shall revert to the government
Thus may long desired improvement
of the important harbor at Hilo Bay be
effected without cost to the govern
mcnt"
We do not know whether Mr.. Pearces
plan is the best tnat can be devised, or
whether it will be wisdom on part OF
the government to grant him the privil-
cge he asks. But we do know that
something ought to be done to prevent
an injury that would be national rather
than local and if Mr. Pearce's agency
shall be the one to save the harbor, the
nation will owe him thanks.
