DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

We do not think the Board of Health
has made the best practicable answer
to the suggestion that means he taken
to house the persons discharged from
the quarantine camps. when it says
| that they may feel at liberty to remain
where they are until they find some
other asylum.
What other asylum is there? These
people cannot so back to Chinatown,
they cannot leave this citys judicial
district, they are not wanted nor would
they be received on the plantations
II they desert present quarters they
must either camp in the open or crowd
into suburban shacks, in either case
running risks of breeding febrile mala-
dies which might spread widely over
the island. On the other hand if they
choose to stay where they are, as of
course they will. their numbers must
use by others whose Chinatown homes
may be burned of the detention camps.
Where would the laSt-named class go?
With the camps overcrowded they
would have to double up with other
Chinatown residents, thus increasing
the peril of infection and making hard
er work for the Board of Health. True
the Board could enlarge the detention
camps. But would that cost any less
than to create other camps where the
discharged people could go and stay
until private enterprise had created
permanent abOdes and business places
in an old or new Chinatown?
The present proposal of the Board,
reduced to its last analysis, is to call a
halt in the removal of infected persons
to the detention camps. Certainly If
no room Is made in the camps whole
sale removals to them cannot properly
go on. What is needed IS n new camp
where the released Asiatics and natives
can go and be comfortable until they
are permitted to once more congregate
in or near the business quarter.
Why not take this matter up and
push 1t! Why adopt any temporizing
measure in face Of the emergency?

The local doctors have laid ont n

sewer system for future as well as

of cemeteries beyond the inhabited

anywhere in the other islands that
should have attention also. Money |
ought not to count against public safe
ty from the pestilence.
With the doctors in line, the Board
of Health in full sympathy with them,
the Council OF State in the mood 20
provide necessary funds and with an
immense surplus in the Treasury, there
ought to be no trouble now in making
the sanitation of Honolulu complete.
1t would be almost criminal not to do
so while the elements of public opin-
ion are so propitious and the need so
great.

WHO SHALL PAY?

The Board of Health is destroying
thousands of dollars worth of proper
ty, breaking up hundreds of homes and
established business houses, and chang
a prosperous section OF the city into a
smoking ruin.
1t is right that this should be done
1t is absolutely necessary if the plague
is to be stamped out. 1t is ruin to the
inhabitants of Chinatown. but THE
greatest good to the greatest number, -
is the rule that must govern. and the
beneficent work of destruction must go
on.
But who is to pay for all this loss?
The people who are being driven out
from their homes and their business
are no more responsible for the intro
duction of plague than are the rest of
us who are fortunate enough to live
outside of Chinatown. They are being
sacrificed through no fault of their
own, for the benefit of the community
as whole. Whatever the strict letter
of the law may be, concerning the pow
er of the Board of Health to condemn
and destroy without compensation, it
is submitted that it will be good con
science and good policy, a rightful, de-
cent and Christian thing for the re-
mainder of the community to bear a
part of the loss which is being forced
upon our unfortunate fellow citizens.
No money valuation of buildings and
property destroyed will compensate the
occupants and owners for businesses
broken up and sources of income wiped
out These items should not be assessed
against the general community; but
the full and fair value of all property
which has been destroyed simply be-
cause 1t was in the infected district
should be made up to the losers by the
community at large. There will be en-
ceptions. Many of the buildings de-
stroyed We're so disgracefully insani-
tary that not only should there be no
compensation, hut the owners should
he prosecuted for maintaining them
On the other hand there are many
which have been destroyed simply be
cause they were in bad company. Let
the line be clearly drawn between the
Two classes of property and let fair
compensation be made from the public

derests and property are being sacri-
feed for the benefit of all

able for this purpose, but If the policy

LUMBER TOO SLOW.

The gravity of the crisis does not
seem to be appreciated by the lumber
dealers who are only sending a small
amount of material to the contractors
who are building the detention camps.
In the meantime there are thousands
of people in Chinatown who are
exposed to the plague and some
suspects outside of it who are
compelled TO sleep in the open air
From the public point of view the lum-
Der men ought to use every team they
have and all they can hire until the
needs of the detention camps are salts
fed letting private builders wait. It'll
will be better for them to do this of
hneir own motion than % hold back
until the Board takes coercive meas
ures. 1t is within the power of that
body to compel the lumber dealers to
give the public the benefit of their en-
tire delivery service and in the pres
ent aroused state of popular sentiment
the Board would not lack for backing
If it should take that course. We hope
to hear, before the day is out, that the
dealers have all turned in and done
their part toward making the present
sanitary campaign a success. They
need not fear that they might put the
supply in advance of the demand, for
scores of carpenters are waiting at the
camps for the material to work with.

DR.. Cleveland puts free public baths
among the desiderata of the time. We
see no reason why they should not be
established in Chinatown, where it is
just as essential to keep the people
clean as to sweeten their neighbour
hoods. If the Government does not see
its way clear to provide the baths the
matter might be referred with cor
dial recommendation to the charitable
instincts of one of the big Chinatown
land corporations-the Bishop Estate,
for instance.

The pro and con of territorial gov
eminent for Americas new colonies
are widely discussed in the Mainland
press, We repubish an article in this
issue from Senator j. c. Burrows of
Michigan in which the propriety of
giving Hawaii the rights it seeks
through the Cullom bill is stoutly
There is n corresponding
article in The outlook proposing the
Territorial system for all the new pos
sessions of the United States. but the
editor of The Outlook, in commenting
upon ii, takes opposite ground. While
not specifically putting Hawaii in the
class with Porto Rico and the Philip
pines, he expresses the opinion that
Americas new departure necessitates
the organization of Il colonial system
analogous to that of Great Britain In
this opinion we do not doubt that the
Sugar Trust and every other enemy of
the free admission TO the United States
of sea island sugar will concur, al
though, of course, there is no connec-
ton between The Outlook and such ex-
terror influences. The periodical looks
at the matter ACCIDENTALLY and the
Sugar Trust selfishly, but both reach
about the same conclusions,

An epidemic of smallpox has brok-
en- out in Utah and the State Board of
Health is subjecting the infected towns
to quarantine regulations similar to
those in vogue here TO stamp out the
plague. Many questions such as have
veXed the local Board have been argu-
ed in Utah to such an extent that the
State Attorney General had to render
an opinion upon the Health Board s
authority to compel vaccination. The
Board was greatly discouraged by its
lack of authority at a critical stage of
the disease, and as result the small
pox gained a good start Salt Lake
City has developed number of cases
and is pronounced an infected district.
The State of Kentucky is also fighting
a smallpox epidemic. In one COM
munity of 1900 persons, there are 500
cases of smallpox.

The Council OF State met and acted
yesterday in the way demanded by
the public eXigency. Over quarter of
million dollars We're put at the dis
posal of the Board of Health through
the Executive Council, bringing the
appropriation made for the uses of that
body since the meeting of the Legisla-
ture of 1896 up to nearly Sl,l70,000 ex-
elusive of the sum spent for sewers. OF
the latest appropriation, $4,000 will
go into a garbage crematory and the
rest will be used in fighting III,
plague, 1t is wise outlay and ought
to be followed by active efforts to gel
consent from Washington TO lay out
other large sums on permanent works
of sanitation.
