IRRIGATION.

One of the questions which is now
who are looking forward to the devel-
opment of the Territory, viz; water
supply, is a favorite hobby of President
Roosevelt. The whole question has
gone forward to Washington as far
as we are concerned and we shall in
course of time learn what is the deci-
sion with regard to our particular case
and our particular rights, but we may
feel satisfied that we have the Presi-
dent behind us in our efforts for bring
ing water from places where is go
ing to waste, to places where it can be
of substantial benefit, and of which, at
the present time, the laws Of the Unit
ed States make us to a large extent
impotent to avail ourselves.
In a recent conversation with Ben
jamin Ide Wheeler, of the California
State University, the President said he
considered irrigation as important to
the whole country as the improvement
of harbors and rivers and that it is
his intention to make the matter ma
uOnal issue. III course IneSe remarks
were intended to apply to the arid
districts of the mainland, but at the
same time such a policy would have its
effect here. AS put by a coast paper
extensive irrigation would be a source
of national wealth and worthy of a ma
tional policy and should be taken out
of the field of local enterprise"
We have large quantities of water
steadily going to waste and we have
portions of land where water can be
naturally stored for use by the sur
rounding country for miles. In each
case there would necessarily be a
heavy initial outlay, and for this, as
is very natural, the people who are
prepared to make the outlay demand
special privileges. This was the case
with the Kohala water scheme. The
objection to that scheme, as equally
10 the Nahiku and Honomanu-Kea-
nae schemes, is that the parties inter-
ested desire to get valuable franchises

from the Territory. which will infalli-
bly, boz used for the bcnent NJ the pro-
motors The objection 81 the Itohala
water scheme went even further for
as FAR as the public was concerned II
never saw any tangible money behind
the NohaUa water scheme. though II
WAS said to be- there. BE this as Il
may the Federal Government took a
hand in he affair and 1t is now In
allegiance till action is taken in wash
iugton.
should however President Roose-
Velts scheme be carried out and irri-
cation be taken from the field OF priv
ate enterprise into the field of national
enterprise, we should reach very
satisfactory solution here, and 1t would
rest with our delegate and the friends
of the Islands to get an adequate share
of the appropriation for such purposes.
1t is i'm this direction that work of a
delegate is so useful Whether our
delegate will prove Of any value in
this way remains to be seen. He has
shown no particular ability as yet.

WHAT Is MEDICAL SCIENCE?

We hear a great deal about bacteri-
illogical science, but it is by no means
as exact as medical men would make
us believe. In point of fact it Is diff
cult to ascertain what medical men
will not swallow as exact science, and
what they will not deride six months
or a year after. Every now and again
there is the announcement Of some
great medical discovery. And then
every now and then there is another
announcement that the great medical
discovery does not work very satisfac-
torily, and finally that it does not
work at all.
a recent publication rather shakes
the faith of the ordinary public in the
statements of the profession. Germs
and bacteria and incubation have
been the latest fads from the learned
gentlemen who look after our bodies.
Anti-toXine has been an especial fav-
orite with those who follow Pasteurs
theory. Now Pasteur certainly obtain
ed wonderful results, and undoubtedly
reached an advanced point in scien-
tific thought. He applied his thought
and it answered in many cases. But
it is evident that his theory does not
cover all cases, or else his followers dc
not follow his directions closely
enough.
The publication to which reference
is made above runs as follows:
"A st. Louis jury has rendered a
verdict finding the st. Louis health de-
partment negligent in the preparation
of diptheria anti-toXine that caused
the deaths by lockjaw (tetanus) of
seven children to whom it was recent
ly administered for diphtheria. The
verdict says: We find that the de-
ceased came to their death from teta-
nus, following the administration OF
diphtheria anti-toxine containing teta-
nus toXine, said diphtheria anti-toXine
having been prepared and issued by the
health department of the city of st
Louis, showing negligence on the part
of the health department. The st
Louis health department has beer
making an anti-toXine for use in diph-
iberia cases which was distributed
among practicing physicians free OF
charge, and used in the city institu-
tons. The serum was obtained from
horses that are said to have contracted
tetanus."
There is one thing which it may be
well to thoroughly impress upon our
people and chat is that the Board of
Health can be held responsible for its
shortcomings. The medical profession
very frequently loses sight of the re-
sponsibility resting upon individual
members thereof. Being a close pro-
fession, by the nature of the case it
seeks to protect it's individual MEM
bers even when it knows that they
may be in the wrong. The results are
going to be disastrous. Every now and
again the profession has been held up
to ridicule, has been purged, and has
started afresh. 1t looks very much as
if another Moliere was due to laugh
at the nonsense, and yet another
Smollet to show the truth and self
sacrifice of the physician.
