WHO WILL BEGIN?


observer" made another appeal for
hospital for incurables which was
published in these columns yesterday
observer" speaks from the heart He
knows what he talks about from prac-
teal experience, as John Emmeluth
knew from experience what he express
ed in his touching letter of few days
ago.
But is this community going to be
satisfied with only having the case
stated is it going to be all talking and
no doing? Whenever letters like those
of Mr.. Emmeluth or observer" are
printed it touches the hearts of some or
our citizens, and they say Yes, by
JOve, something must be done" and
straightway walk down town and listen
to the latest quotations of Eva, or Oahu
or McBryde, and forget all about it.
That money can be raised is shown
by former subscriptions. Last year
when the boys in blue were passing
through to Manila, the fever of hospi-
tality struck us, and we raised close up
on 100000 for their entertainment. The
other day, when it was decided to have
a rousing celebration for the 4th of
July, between $4,000 and $4,000 were rails
ed in a very few hours. The money
question can be solved, At any moment
that it may be wanted The Star has the
promise of $500 as a starter.
The institution proposed will be with
out Government aid as far as funds are
concerned, but there is no reason why
persons connected with the Government
should not take an active part in push
ing this matter forward. 1t would be
quite in order for the Board of Health
to call a meeting of prominent citizens
and have the matter put upon a thor
ough business basis. In fact nothing
could be more appropriate than such
action on the part of the Board of
Health.
We have people in our midst suffering
from contagious disease we know
that 1t is communicable, on that ac-
count the trustees of the Queens hospi-
tai refuse admission into it's wards to
patients suffering from this disease,
and we, make, mo provision for the suf-
ferers whatever 1t must be kept in

The arrival of the Boston in these wa
ters, the first of the fighting ships to
return from Manila to American wa
tiers on this side of the continent,
should be marked by some sort of re-
cepton. The Raleigh on her arrival in
New York was given an ovation. The
Boston will have an ovation in San
Francisco, sbut she should have one at
this, her first home port, for Honolulu
now stands on American soil, and the
waters round the group are American
waters The Boston is we'll known TO
us. She is an historic vessels in Ha-
wall. She is commanded by an officer
who is married to a lady of Hawaiian
blood. When she was here last, this
was a foreign port. When she steams
into our harbor now she steams into
home port, and we have a part in the
hOnOrs she has won for our flag. 1t will
be graceful, and it will be American, to
give Captain Whiting and the officers
and crew of the Boston rousing public
welcome.

mind that the number of deaths from
consumption for the last six months. IN
the city Of Honolulu, exceeded the
deaths by any other disease, not eX-
Guiding all forms of fever taken togeth-
er These Consumptives died in homes,
surrounded by children and friends up
on whom their disease germs were
breathed day and night
From humanitarian point of view
observer pleads for a hospital for in
curables. From a hygienic point of
view the Board of Health should urge
its establishment. The necessity is so
pressing that one wonders there is so
much hesitation in taking the first step.
