THE RIGHT VIEW.

zens would act together and all classes
would assist in running down and
catching the criminals of their race,
bringing them to court, and see that
they have fair trial, 1t would soon
break up the mob and WI tie caps. The
sooner the better class Of whites realize
that the Negro will not hide nor ap'
prove the acts of desperate characters,
there will be state Of feeling in the
South. I sm in favor of catching the

up to the solons.
As to allowing the importation Of
ava, not TO exceed two stumps at
each sending the board announced
that "a resolution had been passed some
months since prohibiting ava in the
settlement except in the physicians
stores.
The lepers also want the health
board to dig the graves of deceased
persons, instead of compelling them to
perform this work. They complain
that In many cases their hands were
untitled for such tasks. The report or
the president of the Board OF Health
ending December 81, 1900, was distrbu-
ted among those present. This showed
that rs persons had died at the Set
Element in two years-aVeraging about
nine a month. Superintendent Rey-
nolds said the cost for digging a grave
was about 81, Mr.. Luwrey stated that
If the Legislature was of mind to
make this concession, an appropriation
Of $500 or $500 would have to follow.
The request that law be enacted
providing for the examination or clean
lepers biennially called forth a long
statement from Superintendent Rey-
nUldS as to the manner in which per
sons declared lepers. and In whom the
faint was not prominent, are examined
at the Settlement. He stated that in
the majority of cases the people did
not want to be sent away from Molo-
kai. Among those who are receiving
full rations as lepers there is a feel
their food supplies will be cut off and
they will have to work for their living
if they stay at Molokai.
This brings out the fact that there
really are persons who would rather
be termed lepers than clean, and that
1t is more to their liking TO be her
aided about the world as unclean.
Representative Beckley inquired
whether persons requested to appear
before the examining board failed to
do SO, and whether they were ordered
Summarily to go before the physicians.
Mr.. Reynolds stated it was generally
left to their own volition to appear,
but very often when the physicians are
at the Settlement they disappear for
day or two and cannot be found,
turning up after the departure of the
board.
Senator Baldwin then stated that
several of the lepers, including one Ka-
lan had said to the legislators that
they considered themselves clean and

brought to their attention. Sick people

ors and the lcpers have Ills which are
constantly before them, felt by them,
and have more or less influence upon
th.ir dispositions, Attorney General
Dole's comparison OF the Leper Set
Element government to similar
government in hospital, seems to
have struck the Keynote of the opposi-
ton to granting to the lepers the right
to control their own affairs,
The demands made by the lepers
upon the Board Of Health and the
Legislature are of such a nature that
the Board Of Healths revenue from
the Settlement Is entirely cut off, and
additional burdens Of expense piled
upon them. AS a matter of fact there
may not be sufficient revenues to be set
side for the usual expenditures or the
settlement in future
The second request in the petition
was next presented to the board, as
follows THAT a liberal appropriation
be made to increase the water supply
of the Settlement"
Superintendent Reynolds, of the Set
Element, stated that as far as the sup
ply of water for domestic purposes was
| concerned there was a sufficient guam
tity OF 1t throughout the year. To sup
ply water for all the tarO lands now
under cultivation and those projected,
there would be needed a water system
on a much larger scale. Mr.. Baldwin
called attention to complaints that the
houses distant from the center OF the
Settlement did not have sufficient wa
ter, to which the superintendent replied
that taps were run for several families
in such cases, instead OF a single tap
for one house.
The cultivation of taro at the Set
tlcment occupied much of the discus
sion OF the afternoon. 1t was pointed
out that there was considerable land
at Kalaupapa which could be utilized
for taro growing He estimated the

tage OF II aud send down absolutely
useless packages. which would In time
become a burden OF expense
To the request that all the houses
at the Settlement be whitewashed, the
board agreed. and viii purchase a
spraying machine for the purpose.
The request which caused the great
est comment was as follows:
THAT the children born OF leprous
women be given full food and fish al
lOWanCe, as well as wearing supplies
not TO exceed the value OF SO year"
superintendent u ynulds explained
that such children are given half ra-
tons until they are old enough TO get
work about the Settlement. In time
they are supposed to earn enough to
feed aud cl0the themselves There
was no particular age at which the
ratious were stopped. Some patients
continued to enjoy them untll they
were tWguty-oue years of age. Rey-
uolds said there was always plenty of
work for them to perform. for which
they were paid. such children, were
mcut. Being well ana not tainted by
laprosy, they should be given their
fun liberty elsewhere In the Islands
but all such attempts In the past had
failed, resulting at one time in the
shedding Of blood When the board at
y
met with such determined resistance
that the plan was abandoned and the
children now grow up In the Settle
mcut with lcprous persons At present
there are e'ghty-seven such children at

Mr. Dole said il these children were
brought to Honolulu they would make
better citizens than If allowed to stay
on Mul0k1i but Dr. Emerson and SUI
perintendeut Reynolds both declared
that Unless the parents were willing
they should leave them. The attempt
to remove them would be futile. 1t
was also said that children born lepers
are given full ratiOus from the time
they are able to eat the foods supplied
by the board.
It was stated that President Ray

members, and that of q few Of the
legislators, was that the Legislature
should appropriate a sum Of money
for that purpose.
1t was agreed that the request for
cash in lieu of clothes be denied.
The request to be allowed to erect
stores in competition with the Board
of Health provoked considerable dis
Cussion, in which ii was brought out
that many of the lepers believed the
boards wares were selling too high.
1t was pointed out that under a new
ruling the board was selling goods

much of the food at the government
store was unfit to eat, that the hams

Request number 3, that a steam YES

for transporting freight from the other

upon by health members and legisla-

The complaints and suggestions were

That the Board of Health be pro-
| hibitcd from claiming any share in
/ the tarO produced by the farmers OF

| Reynolds stated that in former years
| Waikolu valley was tabu to the iepers,
! and they had to have special permit
to 20 near the place. The valley was
kept b ythe health board I'm dry sea-
sons for breeding stock. Four years
ago taro was planted, and the board
made an agreement with the raisers
Of taro on that land that they should
receive half the taro so produced. That
arrangement was later changed SO
that the lepers received three-fourths
Of their husbandry. When Reynolds
started the planting, Ambrose Hutch
inson was assistant superintendent,
and he says that all were very well
satisfied with the arrangement. Sena-
tor Kalauokalani inquired whether this
agreement was in writing, and received
ap affirmative reply.
Senator Russell asked whether the
people there had to pay ground rent
/ for the taro lands, and was told that
! the sharing OF the taro was the pay
ment. The board in return had fenced
off the plots to keep out the wild hogs.
| Superintendent Reynolds said the taro
rasers were paid 57la cents for paiai,
consisting of twentyone pounds of
hard poi, which is equal to about thir
| ty-five pounds of taro. This ration
was served out once a week.
THAT the Board Of Health be made
to pay for the carriage OF freight for
the lepers from all the Islands of the
group"
! Mr.. Lowrey replied to this request
that all goods were now carried from
| Honolulu to the Settlement, free or
charge to the lepers, but no arrange
| ment was in vogue to carry such
freight from the other Islands to Ho-

NOT HEREDITARY

In the main, consumption
is not hereditary; it is infectious.
People are too afraid of heredi-
ty better not think of the sub
ject at all. Infection occurs
continually.
Low vital force is hereditary
which gives consumption its
chance. And infection plants
it.
Between the two, the crop
is big one: about one-sixth
Of the human race, so far as is
known.
We suppose it needn't be 5
per cent, if people would take
fair care and SCOTS emulsion
of cod-liver oil.
The care saves life in all
ways; the emulsion is specially
aimed at the lungs, beside its
general food-effect.
