AN ANNIVERSARY.

Today is the celebration of the ami
versary of the birth of Washington,
and the government offices honor the
day, as is proper. Among the great
characters of history Washington
shines out with especial luster. His
cause was a good one, but other men
have had good causes. His abilities
were great, others have had great abil-
tiles. His industry, courage and deter
mination were phenomenal but others
have had these attributes. To the mind
looking over the past Washington
shines by all these, but he has the
greater glory in his absolutely stainless
record and his abnegation of self.
Perhaps it is the latter quality which
really makes him tower above all
others. Cromwell was great Cromwell
had a noble cause, and to Cromwell the
British nation and its greater Off
shoots owe a deep debt. Cromwell had
all the attributes of great ability, cease
less industry, courage and determine
ton, but he had not the self abnegation
of Washington. He had an unbounded
am DltlOn, ana sell was W d Celldlil
extent a keynote in his character.
There is no grander scene in history
than that when Washington took leave
of his generals. Compare it with the
theatrical one of Napoleon taking leave
of his marshals. What dignity and
grandeur in the one what tawdriness
and sentimentality in the other.
The American people can look with
pride upon the Father of the Repub-
lic' because he was above all things a
man. His life is an example to all
future generations of his countrymen.
1t was pitched at a high ideal, in a
time when cultivated ideals were low.
1t stands today as on a higher ideal
than even the improved ideals of our
own time Washington was a states
man, a general, but above all this
Washington stands for all time as the
ideal of a MAN.

RAT CRUSADE.

Because the poison issued by the citi-
zens sanitary committee proved a fail
ure, there is no reason why there should
be any let up upon the rat crusade. The
danger from rats is just as great as
ever, and we never shall be safe from
plague until we have exterminated the
rodents. Poison is a good method, If
you get effective poison, but poison Will
not do the work entirely even if the
best is employed
What is needed is a systematic trap
ping such as was undertaken in Column
DO, Copenhagen and Kobe. In Column
DO the city was districted, traps were
bought and men appointed to do the
work of rat catching. Something of the
same kind should be done here. We
have a considerable number of unem-
plOyed men in the relief camps, why
not put them to work rat catching
With some one to oversee them and a
bounty on each rat, the South Sea ISL
anders, Japanese and others in the
camps might very easily earn good
wages and be doing something towards
the general good of the city which is
now supporting them and giving them
shelter.
In other places when men cannot get
work and ask for relief, from the pub
lie, they have to give an equivalent in
work. We do not follow that plan here
as carefully as we should. But here is
light employment which would be ad-
vantageous to the community. The
American Sugar Company regarded
the deer on Moloka as vermin and
forthwith paid men a small wage, with
bounty of the skin of all animals kill
ed. Those men have made money.
There is no reason why a rat catcher at
fifteen cents a head or even at ten cents
head should not make on an average
from $3.50 to $500 a day, and it is quite
possible he might make more. There
would be of course considerable ex-
penditure for the bounty but we can
afford a good deal if We get rid of rats
and idlers at one and the same time.

that plague continues. In Honolulu on
the other hand when a case Of plague
occurs we carefully burn down the
premises where the disease has broken
out, whether the patient dies or not,
and have also burned premises where
the stricken person may have been in
The Chinese store at the corner OF
Punchbowl had no case of plague in it,
but Mrs. Franz bought goods there, and
Mrs. Franz took the plague, so the store
was burned. This was an understood
policy. 1t has worked well, and by
means of it the plague has been nearly
beaten.
But apparently the Board is about to
change it's tactics and adopt the Bonn
bay plan Of letting a building from
which plague stricken people have been
taken remain. 1t should adopt the plan
in toto and mark the door jambs of the
Hotel stables with two red rings so
that every one may know that two fatal
cases of plague have been removed
from there. That would be a consis-
tent following out of the Bombay policy
and an acknowledgment that in future,
when plague cases occurred, it would
no longer be necessary to burn the
buildings, but policy of burning would
only be adopted when the building
affected did not belong to people having
a pull" or an apparent pull.
Certainly, in dealing with the Hotel
stables, the Board of Health is not act
ing consistently. 1t is distinctly going
against it's avowed policy of the place
being more dangerous than the individ-
uaL Both men, who have had plague
in the Hotel stables, worked there for
long hours, and it is not to be believed
that they did not contaminate 1t with
eXcretions of some kind. There is the
danger then from rats, as we'll as from
contaminated cesspools and so forth.
The city will Loyalty support the Board
of Health but the Board must not lose
it's backbone.

CONTRASTS.

Why Bombay has plague was graphi-
cally described by G. w. Stevens the
war correspondent who recently died
in Ladysmith. 1t appears in his last
book In India" which was the result
of his visit to that country as cor
respondent to describe the reception of
Lord CurzOn as GovernOr-General Of
India. Mr. Stevens writing of the
slums of Bombay said:
The huge houses, with their ranks
of windows, their worn plaster, and
scratched, rickety shutters, have slum
written all over them in a universal
language. On stamped earth floors, be-
tween bare walls, by the dimness of one
tiny window, you see shapes squattlng
like monkeys. They stir, 1.-the but al
ways languid, and presently you see
that they are human. Babies, naked
children, young women and youths,
mothers and fathers, shriveled grand
sires and granddames-whole families
stifie together in the thick darkness,
breed, and take in dodgers. In the
room, where there is hardly space to
move, they sleep, and work at trades,
and cook their food with pungent cakes
of cow-dung. Because January is cold
to their bare limbs, they shut doors
lower rooms are worn down beneath
the level of the street and of the drains
the upper are holes beneath the STOP
ing roof, where a man can not stand
upright On the stories between these
are dens lighted only from the dark
corridor. You look into them, and at
first see no more than a feeble wick
huttering in night-glass; then moist
eyes shine at you out of the darkness,
and again two, four, six, ten men and
women are sitting motionless against
the wall. They neither speak nor stir
Just sit and ripen for pestilence. On
the door-Jamb of this house are dozen
red marks-dates with a line round
them, in some semicircular, in others a
complete circle. Each means a case of
plague-the full circles a death, the
halves a removal to hospital. For your
own part you wonder that anybody in
the poisonous lair. is left, aliveE
This is a very noisome picture indeed.
But we had cases in our Chinatown
which were almost as bad. The official
description of a butchers shop in
Chinatown with its sitting atmosphere,
its open cesspOol reeking with filth, and
its masses of flies which would rise
from the cesspool and settle on the
meat, and then be driven off to batten
on the rotting and foetid mess within
the cesspool, only to return to the meat
again was as foul a picture as was
ever penned, and the effect of it was
heightened by it's appearing in calmly
thought out official report.
The difference between Bombay and
Honolulu, however, is great. There ap-
parently they are willing to have the
plague go on, merely marking with a
red ring on the door jamb the number
of deaths.
With such system it is no wonder
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-02-22

The opening of the schools until we
are entirely free from plague is to be
deprecated, The intimate mingling of
children in the school rooms and the
fact that the schools are not districted
but come from all parts of the city and
from all kinds of homes, some sanitary
and some insantary should be quite
enough to decide the Board of Educa-
tion to listen to the suggestions of the
citizens sanitary committee.

WISDOM =

Let US tell you something about Elec'
trio lncandescent Lamps. Perhaps you
have noticed that your bill for electric
lighting has varied peculiarly from month
to month. When it is large you say bad
words about your meter and you think
that the Light Company Is cheating you:
The Company Is not cheating you-.IOU
ARE CHEATING YOURSELF. A lamp
which has lived Its normal number Of
ampere hours, though It may not be dead,
consumes nearly twice as much current
as when II is first used. If when your
lamps show signs of having burned too
long you would take them out and pur.
chase new lamps you would find that the
saving in your monthly bill would more
than compensate for the price of the new
lamps.
