There should also be an engine house

During the year just closing The Star
has persistently urged that the city
should be cleansed. The attention of
the Board Of Health has been called
again and again to the subject, but the
remarks fell upon deaf ears. Only last
Friday was the subject again urged.
The remark was made in an editorial
of that day. ANY one visiting the pur-
lieus of the city will soon become salts
fed that there are accumulations of
Nth which ought to be removed.
There are fostering masses of it in
countless back yards, and these not al
ways the Resldences of poor people"
However it required the Board TO run
up against the plague to be reused out
of it's apathy. Now the filth will be
removed and the city put into excellent
sanitary condition-but there is a pro-
verb about horse, stable door and
a lock, which seems remarkably appli-
cable.

which the public would have been put
to. The convenience of the individual
should never be allowed to interfere
with the convenience of the public at
large
1t is true that the public was incon-
venienced by the opening of the streets
for laying pipes for the sewers. But
this was for a public improvement. So
also the roads may be blocked by lay
ing the rails for the rapid transit COM
pany, but this, again, is a public i'm
provement. What advantage the pub
lie is going to gain by the removal
of the old Gulick premises from the
present site to Independence Park is
very problematical. Perhaps the Min
lister of Interior can tell-No one else
can.

BRAVELY MET.

The Board of Health, supported by
fhe citizens, has taken the matter of
the plague in hand with a vim and
energy which must be very reassuring
10 the timid, and satisfactory to the
thoughtful. There has been no delay.
AS soon as it was discovered that the
plague had actually gained a foothold,
the battle against it was commenced
and before evening a strict quarantine
had been established, inspections made,
organization perfected and money vot-
ed for carrying on the fight. Great
credit must be given to Minister Cooper
for his energy. There are very few
places, if any, upon the face Of the
globe, where measures could have been
taken so efficiently and SO rapidly.
The situation today is reassurIfE.
There have been five cases of the dis
lease and five deaths, These occurred
yesterday No new cases have devei-
oped today. Should any develop the
fact would be known instantly and the
unfortunate sufferer segregated at once.
<-Of course we are not quite out of the
days, the usual period of incubation,
whether others, besides those who have
succumbed, have not been inoculated.
But the speed with which quarantine
measures have been taken will isolate
such cases and prevent them from car
rying contagion further.
The measures taken for cleaning the
town are efficient and in this the citi-
zens can individually cooperate. Yards
should be thoroughly overhauled and
all decaying matter should be burned.
Each householder should supply him
self with disnfectants and there should
be a liberal use of white wash. By TAX
ing such measures the work of the
Board of Health will be lightened at a
time when it needs every assistance
that the citizens can give.
1t is very satisfactory to find that
there is no panic, and that the citizens
have met this attack from an insidious
foe in calm and business-like manner.
They have shown both nerve and judg-
ment In cases of epidemic it is fear
as much as the disease itself that kills
and it must be said that the manner
in which the Board of Health is manag-
ing this matter dispels fear even in the
minds of those who are oonstitutionally
timid.
Today ii is permissible to write in a
most hopeful strain, and it is possible
that the snake has been strangled in its
act of birth If this be So Honolulu
is very lucky city.

PUBLIC VS.. PRIVATE CONVENT
ENCE.

There really should be some limit to
moving houses in bulk At the present
time a house is being moved along
King street. 1t disarranges all the
tram car traffic and will disarrange it
for some time to come. Further it dis
arranges all the telephone wires and
important messages yesterday after
noon failed to connect. AS 1t happened
it was very important that these mes
sages should reach, but the house, be-
longing to one man threw dozens and
twenties of people out of connection.
Then again the trees which over
Swallowed the road, and made walking
a pleasure under our tropic sun, have
had their branches cut and mutilated,
and it will be years before they are IN
proper shape again.
What are the regulations for moving
houses? The question has never come
up, as far as The Star can learn be-
fore the courts. But there should be
some limit to this kind of thing. Ger
tainly it was never meant that the
convenience of one man should incon-
veience half city, paralyze, for time,
it's rapid telephone accommodation,
stop it's tram car traffic, and destroy
the beautiful trees which are the charm
of our tropic city.
When last seen in the evening the de-
vastatng edifice had reached Union
Square. That was a days journey
from its site, about four hundred yards
away. How long it will take the mon
ster to travel to its future abode, nc
one can accurately determine. We have
no municipality, and therefore no city
officers or mayor to appeal to. But
there is the Minister of Interior, and
surely he has power over such icono-
clasm.
If the house referred to is being NOV
ed without permission it is the duty OF
the Minister to step in and order thar
it should be taken to pieces. If the
Minister of Inerior has given permits
sion for it's removal in this manner, he
is much to blame, for he should have
foreseen the great inconvenience 20
