TRAN1CAR sPITEFULNEss.

In a spirit of petty spitefulness be
cause Mr.. Payne lost his case, he start
ed out to revenge himself upon the peo-
pie of Nuuanu Valley. He is running
his cars at an inconvenient hour, and
his Fort street car has now to wait
nearly six minutes at Halls switch,
which destroys it's usefulness as lunch
car for people living above that To-
cality.
Now we would like TO know what
tram cars are for. Are they for the
benefit of Mr.. Payne, or are they run
for the benefit of the public? It strikes
one forcibly that the Legislature which
granted the franchise had an idea that
the cars were to be run for the public
convenience. Now, when a man who
is operating the franchise starts in and
deliberately defies public convenience,
and when his servants who run his cars
tell passengers that they will get even
with them or words to that effect, it
is about time to call halt
1t is beginning to look as if Mr.. Payne
considered himself the satrap of the
read. 1t is a very badly managed road
that he runs. The cars are disgrace,
the brakes are often out of order and
the interiors of the cars are frequently
very dirty. In fact the whole line is
very much out of date. Could anything
show worse wrOng-headednes sheer
bulI-headed obstinacy, than this affair
of char ging the Nuuanu time table, be-
cause lEsder the law Mr. Payne has been
fined one hundred dollars, as his own
charter directs? Mr. payne likes the
law, but he wants to interpret it him
self. The end is not yet Meanwhile it
would be, a wise move for Mr..
Payne's employees to be decently
civil, and not to make remarks
about their getting even" with any
one The chances are very good for the
public getting even" with Mr.. Payne,
and getting even in such a shape that
the British stockholders, whose servant
Mr.. Payne is, will be wondering what
has got to his stock.

AND BOARD OF
HEALTH.

In the Board of Health they have
been considering the vaccination ques-
ton. The Board of Health, or rather
the physicians under the Board, are
far more responsible. for the condition
of affairs than the teachers.
The teachers throughout the country
are perfectly willing and anxious to as
sist the Board of Health officials in
every way, but the Board of Health Of
ffcials are the persons who are lacking
in their duty.
Last year large school in this city
was to have been vaccinated. A day
was appointed, the time was set The
children to be vaccinated were kept in
after school and the teachers sat there
waiting. Now it is no small effort to
keep children waiting to be vaccinated,
when so many of them have dread of
it. There was quite a scene of weeping
little children, and the nerve power of
the teachers was strained to the ut
most. Well, the doctor never put in an
appearance DIT all, anu never sent WOrQ
that he was not coming, and the teach
ers and the weeping children, and the
fidgity children, and the mischevous
children waited for over an hour, till
they gave it up and went home. 1t can
readily be imagined that it was hard
work to get those children prepared
again.
In another school the teacher, acting
under the law, refused to take children
who had not been vaccinated, and as
the bulk of them were not, the school
was practically shut up for over three
weeks, till the doctor got ready to vac
cinate them.
Instances might be multiplied as to
the carelessness of some of the Govern
ment doctors in performing their duties
with regard to children in the schools.
If the doctors would do their duty regu-
larly there would be no trouble about
getting the children vaccinated. The
root of the trouble does not lie with
the teachers, but with the officials of
the Board of Health.

While the Legislature is considering
the subject of national holidays it
should not forget ArbOr Day that was
so well championed by B. G. Northrup.
national holiday in the month of
NAV would serve a double purpose. Be
sides the Arbor Day exercises that
would be observed in the schools, the
beat clubs would also undoubtedly time
their yearly events so that the regatta
would be set for the same day. There
seems to be no good reason why an
other holiday should not be added to
the list.

The scarcity of newspaper men in the
United States Congress is possibly eX-
planned by the following reply OF the
editor OF an Illinois paper to an impend-
ing nomination to Congress: The mis-
sion of the hireling who holds the
plough handles of this paper is to keep
the fires burning on the affairs of lib
erty and beacon lights blazing on the
shores of time at $3.50 a blaze, invari-
ably in advance. He does not hunger
and thirst after official life. He did
think once he would like to GO to the
Legislature, but he has grown in grace
since then and purged his system OF
that unholy desire. Since then he has
not yearned single yearn or hankered
a hank after political distinction"

THE SUNDAY BAND CONCERT.

Minister Coopers decision to grant
the request for a Sunday band concert
is one that will undoubtedly meet with
general favor throughout the cOmmuni-
ty. The wordy battle for and against
the Sunday concert has from time to
time been fought long and loud. But
where mEny have opposed legislation
favorable to the Sunday concert-goers,
a good proportion of these same people
will readily accept the solution of the
problem made by Mr.. Cooper. In the
first place, he has made good selection
in the place for holding the first con-
been a thing of beauty and a joy for
ever, but it has never been generally
patrOnized by the class of people it is
intended to benefit. Whether this has
been due to the lack of attractions at
the park or the inability of the work
ingmen to pay the ten-cent fare on the
palatial tram cars that move at the rate
of three miles in sixty minutes, we are

is made up of such law-abiding citizens.
We hope that the latter Will prove
true and the concerts will be a success.

Some one has said that the Board OF
Health is the only board holding execu-
tive sessions. How about the Board of
Education? This organization, holding
SWAY over one of the most important
departments in the whole system of
Government, never allows the news
papers to enter within the sacred
grounds of it's deliberations. COnse-
quently the public knows about as
little of what the Board is doing as is
possible. The excuse has been given
that in the Educational Board the mem
bers are required to say things about
the personal merits of teachers that it
is not wise to put in the public print.
Hold executive sessions on these mat
tiers if thought best. The newspapers
of Honolulu have never shown any de-
sire to air disagreeable private affairs.
But on matters of general administra
ton there is every reason why the gen
eral public should be kept in touch with |
the action of the Board. Open your
doors, educators, and give the public a |
glimpse of the why's and wherefOres of
your departmental administration.
