their way within easy view of her
homestead windows, where she
dreamed away her happy childhood
hours, and the unceasing beating and
sullen roar of the surf caused sweet
music that lulled her to sleep. From
very early age she learned how to
swim, and all summer long, and even
until late in the fall she might be
found day after day disporting herself
in the arms Of Father Neptune. AS
she grew older her skill as bold and
daring swimmer became remarkable,
and time and again she would swim
several miles from the shore, hooking
the tired and weakened swimmers who
would not dare to venture out with
her. Her townspeople looked at her

her ear. She exclaimed, "Oh, my God,

nameless dread when their childish
thoughts grasped the full meaning Of
the tragedy.

The absence of municipal govern
ment in this prosperous city is plainly
apparent in connection with the awful
disaster at Galveston. In all the large
cities of Europe and America the
mayor or burgomaster has issued ap-
peals to the people for help for the sur
vivors of that stricken city and these
appeals have been responded to most
literally. Here in Honolulu, with no
mayor or no organization to take the
initiative, not one cent has been sub
serioed nor has the slightest sympathy
OF a substantial sort been shown FOR
the people of the stricken Texas city.

Instead of an expensive board OF
health for the entire territory, costing
thousands and thousands of dollars
every year, the territories Of New
Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma nave
county health officers appointed by the
board of supervisors who are paid for
the actual duties performed and for
nothing more. The salaries of the Ha-
waiian board of health alone to say
nothing of the expensive public works
department and territorial school
board, road supervisors and other ex-
pensive luxuries, would more than pay
the entire cost of county government
for each legislative district in the ter
ritory.

Public improvements in the other
territories of the United States are car
ried on under the municipal and eoun-
ty authorities. the county boards OF
supervisors directing all road building
and letting contracts for the improve
ment and construction of public build
ings- No orders for Improvements are
given out except by contract TO the
lowest bNder. In this way the cost is
much less for such work than it is in
Hawaii under the centralized govern
ment plan These are matters for the
territorial convention to consider.

must give them full heed Local con-
