For President MILAN MCKINLEY

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-02-06

In connection with the men in the
relief camps comes the statement that
application was made for q cook, and
a boy about 10 appeared. He was ques-
toned as to ability and was told there
was room for him, and if he needed
clothes his employer would fit him out.
He then asked about wages, and was
told that was a matter that could be
discussed when his ability was shown.
He stated that Sc dollars a week was
his figure and promptly returned to the
relief camp till Sc a week should be
offered. Now such a man has no bust
ness to be harbored in idleness. Get
him at work with a pick and shovel. A
case like this is perfectly outrageous
but it is what can be expected. TIL,
fellows never had such picnic in theil
lives. 1t is evidently better than wages
and work.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-02-06

But It appears as If the Board Of
Health has ample powers under its act
to regulate such matters. Section $40
of the Penal Code says THE Board OF
Health may make such regulations res
pecting causes of sickness. LAS it
shall Judge necessary for the public
health and safety" This certainly
seems broad enough to cover such a
case as the erection of buildings in an
insanitary part of the town. Why did
it not issue a set of regulations there
and then? Probably the Board did
not realize its powers, but of that there
will be no danger in the future. How
ever the point is that many of our pre-
sent conditions We're foreseen but in
this case foreseeing did not mean fore
arming. The blame does not sit at
one door but at many.

RATS-RATS.

The rat question is one which comes
The war against rats is being carried
on at widely different parts of the
globe. 1t has been engaged in Column
DO, Ceylon, with considerable success.
There the city was divided into dis
tricts, and each district had it's special
in Copenhagen, where rats have been
slain by the hundreds of thousands. In
London it has received attention from
one of its foremost medical men, and
as the march of the plague continues
and the fear of it becomes more acute,
the rat question will have practical So
luton throughout the world.
With us the question is a serious one.
The Board of Health seem satisfied that
the PatheOn stables and saloon became
a center of infection through the rats,
and certainly the manner in which the
rats behaved and the carelessness with
which the employees of those establish
ments treated the sick rodents, lend
strong color to the statement. L is also
quite a question whether rats We're not
the primal cause of the deaths of Mrs
Boardman and Mr.. Robertson.
Among our efforts to check the
plague, we should certainly enter upon
campaign against the rats. Like any
thing else, if it is to be done, it must
be done systematically. The bounty
system has not proved a success, so
some other plan should be tried. If
the Columbo plan were put in operation
it might be found to answer. Let the
Board of Health purchase rat traps, lei
it appoint a rat catcher in chief, and
let him chose his subordinates and
manage the rat catching campaign
The success or failure of the plan
would very soon be apparent. De-
pending upon the populace doing any
thing is depending on a broken reed
There must be system and system is
contained in the plan here proposed.

THEY KNEW IT.

Some two years ago at a meeting of
The Board of Health the subject of Ke-
walo was mentioned, and one of the
members stated that in his opinion the
place was utterly insanitary and unit
for building purposes. In this opinion
the member of the then Board agreed
But it stayed there. 1t was an opinion
the opinion of the Board two years ago.
why did not the Board do something
more than pass a casual remark and
then let the matter rest.
Granted that the Board may not have
had direct power to prevent the cree
ton of the buildings, it could have
sounded a Vigorous alarm. The columns
of the daily press were at its disposal,
and it could have aroused a righteous
public opinion which would have made
itself felt in the Legislature If such
was the opinion of the members at that
time the Board is certainly RESPONSE
BILE in some degree for the conditions in
which Kewalo is found in today.
This was no instance of neglect of the
Boards paid inspectors to report, the
Board was itself cognizant of the insa-
hitary conditions of affairs, spoke of It
and let 1t pass. When blame is being
meted out, most justly, to various par
ties for the miserable shacks they have
allowed to be put upon their land, it
should not be forgotten that the Board
is itself somewhat to blame.

RELIEF WORK.

! The authorities and the public must
not lose sight of the necessity of there
being some definite work to be found
for the men and the women in the re-
| lief camps. The Star made the sugges-
ton yesterday that work might be
found on the Pail road. Certainly a
considerably number might be utilized
for this purpose. There is a great deal
of cleaning up and filling in to be done
in the neighborhood of Kewalo, there
is employment for large gang at
work of this kind. The streets, even.
might be swept.
AS things now are, it is impossible
for the men in the relief camps, to find
the employments which they have been
accustomed to, and as long as they can
get food and shelter for nothing they
will not willingly seek for other en-
ployment. But it is just as impossible
that these men and women should be
fed and housed at public expense and
give no equivalent for it in work.
AS to there being any fear of an up
rising that is only idle fear. In the
first place, the Asiatic element is not
turbulent in the mass. Portions of it
may be so, but the general run is peace
able and amenable to discipline. Had It
been of a turbulent character it would
have broken forth on the twentieth of
January, when it was almost wild with
fear, when the fire that was consuming
the homes was roaring in it's ears, and
there seemed no whittier to fly. There
are plenty of European and American
populations who would have swept
everything aside in a general rush IN.
der such circumstances. Our Asiat,c
population did not break forth under
such acute conditions, why should il
do so now. But if it is pampered by
idleness it may grow disconnected, fol
idleness is a breeder of discomfort.
In the second place, should there be
any disturbance there is ample force
on the Island to put it down. The Ma.
tional Guard numbers some $50 men,
well drilled and armed. In the case OF
riot about the same number of Fede.
raj troops, better drilled and better
armed, would be available. And Their,
is always the Citizens Guard as a re
serve, amounting to over 1000 men. o.
the other hand the Asiatics are unarm
ed. There does not seem the slightest
necessity to ask for any greater force
of Federal troops than is at present
here, or for the presence of a man OF
war. 1t is calculated to cause alarm
on the mainland and to give an Inn
; proper view of our conditions wher
representations of the necessity of ad
ditional force against idle Asiatics ar,
made
The sooner the idle Asiatic popula.
ton is put to work, however, the better
The longer there is delay the worse 1
, will be. The people will get an ideG
that they ought to be supported at pub
lie expense and will be likely to grum
BILE at having to work, but if from tn
outset they are made to understand
that residence and food in the relic
camp is dependent upon an equivalen
, of work, they will be perfectly willing
to avail themselves of their opportuni
ty. If they are able bodied and unwill
ing to work, the relief camp is no plac,
for them. The policy of putting thes,
people to work cannot too soon be pu
, in force. 1t should be no work-n,
, food.

THINK OF THESE THINGS.

II we cannot eat we starve. Every
body who does not die Of violence
finally starves to death. In nearly
all diseases" says an eminent physi-
clan, % starvation is the final cause Of
DEATH" 1t is not the food on the
table, but the food you eat and digest,
that nourishes you. In all wasting
complaints the appetite and diges-
ton weaken or fail and the body
fades away. The true remedy must
be one which at the same time in
vigorates the digestive powers and
acts, in and of itself, as a food. 1t
must build up the body faster than
it is destroyed and also stop the ten
dency to wasting by curing the di-
sease. The researches Of modern sci
ence have placed such a remedy
within our reach; and the wasting
diseases, which have so long been the
terror Of the human race, Yield at
once to the healing power Of
