4 well-known citizen whose views
are reported elsewhere does not think
much of the paid inspectorate as a
means of ferreting out cases of plague.
He says the Asiatics and others who
cultivate the bubonic germs will find it
easy, after a few days, to fool an in
spector who has an immense district
to handle and will be able to conceal
their cases of sickness from him. As
a substitute measure he proposes an
increase of the reward for the dlscov-
cry of plague victims. We are not sure
but the inspectorate and the bigger re-
ward ought to go together, but time
will tell. The way to determine what
is best is to give the new inspectors a
chance. If they do well, nothing more
need be said; If not, the fact will be
apparent in a short time and the rem
edy clear.

The cost of living is mounting up
ward so rapidly in Japan as to visibly
reduce the danger of cheap labor COM
petition with Western nations. When
workingmen have to pay nearly double
the sum for the necessaries of life that
was asked of them a few years ago
they are compelled to demand higher
wages and the product of their toll and
skill, therefore, takes on an enhanced
price. How great the advance in the
market value of the principal daily
necessaries has become appears in the
following comparative table, prepared
by the Osaka Asahi, which takes 100

CHINATOWN REDlvIvUS.

Shacks are going up in various Sec
tions of the city in absolute or partial
neglect of the regulations of the Board
of Health. Twenty-six building per-
mits were issued in February. but few
of which carried a special sanitary
clause. OF these permits fifteen went
to Orientals and some of the remand
er to white men who may build shacks
for Asiatic tenants. Many of the struc-
lures under way are close to the ground
and are in other respects calculated to
renew the conditions which brought
about successive plaques.
During March, up to yesterday, forty
four permits were issued. twenty-five
TO Chinese and Japanese. Each per-
nit carries with II an obligation to
comply with the rules of the Board.
This is good so far as it goes, but If it
goes no further it will be good for moth
ing. The point is not to put clauses
in a lease" or other documents, as GER
tain big prOperty-owners are wont to
do, and let the matter go at that, but
to enforce the laws-to see that the
clauses" are complied with. This
duty now devolves upon the overwork-
ed Board of Health and therefore does
not promise all that might be wished
for. The trouble too often with the
Board of Health has been that
it would give sound orders and
then fail to execute them. That
is why, with plenty of laws
to prevent the accumulation of
filth, Chinatown was permitted to lapse
into state of fearful nastiness. In
the case of the building permits we
shall have a new outfit of insanitary
shacks to deal with before long unless
the Board follows up all building OPP
erations in Honolulu and does it with
inspectors who cannot be misled or
bribed. But it is not all clear sailing.
Considering how much else the Board
will have on hand during the existence
of the plague. the building inspection
program seems fraught with difficult
ties.
The Advertiser proposes to help the
Board out by keeping it's own eyes open
and reporting every instance of insan-
itary building it may discover. To
this end it asks information or clues
from any quarter. which it will treat
confidentially so far as the informant's
name is concerned. All it desires is
TO aid the Board in maintaining the
proper sanitary standards here. II the
entire press of the city would join in
this undertaking we do not doubt that
the community would reap prompt and
very general benefit.

complaints are made several times a
week of reckless driving and bicycling
and the time is at hand for vigorous
prosecutions. Most of the trouble
comes from turning corners at too high
a rate of speed or from violating the
law of the road. We notice that, as
respects driving or riding and turning
out on the wrong side, Asiatic hackmen
and bicyclists are the chief offenders.
In China and Japan every native driver
and pedestrian turns TO the left and
naturally people from those countries
easily forget themselves and obey the
same habit here. The remedy for such
Observation-Disclosures and for too rapid
driving. Is in the hands of the police.

The Chinese reformers who talk Of
rejuvenating the old Mongol Empire
are hopeful spirits, but It is doubtful
that they can make any inroads upon

titioning It. Under the flags of Rus
STA, Great Britain, Germany, Italy,
France and possibly the United States
the China of the future cannot do
otherwise than share in the general

A new lumber company is on the

the basis of fair play to the purchaser.
Prices of lumber. which are regulated
by local combine. are now such as to
yield abnormal profits and they must,
IL not cut down, interfere with the

James w. Girvin explains that his
engagement with the Chinese to go to
Washington was that Of an attorney
in opposition to the order Of the Pres
ident extending the American exclu-
sion laws to these Islands. He does
not wish It TO be understood that his
clients wanted him to oppose the Gull
lon Bill in it's original form. Mr..
Girvin does not believe that r. W.
Wilcox is backed at Washington by
Chinese money, nor did the Advertiser
take that rumor absolutely for grant
ed But there is very strong affirma-
tive testimony which is not weakened
by the statement that Mr.. Wilcox Is
representing a certain Hawaiian" IN
the quest OF Crown lands. The "cer-
tain Hawaiian" is his wife, who, we
may remark, is hardly in a position
to put up for "Bob's" expenses. Nor
would the Queens friends do so, con-
sidering that she is also a Crown land
claimant. AS to the story Of a Chinese
connection for Wilcox, it comes from
a man to whom Wilcox himself i'm
parted the news at Washington.
