HAWAII'S
APPEAL TO
CONGRESS

While it cannot be known at this
time just how Hawaii's cry to Congress
for relief from its twin evils, currency
and labor, will affect our efforts at the
coming session, yet it is consoling to
learn that there are others who are
grooming under identically the same
weary load as ourselves. Judging from
their petition, however, the people of
the mid-Pacific islands are in much
better plight than we, and have, COM
pared with us, but little cause for COM
plant. If their plea should be given
consideration and be favorably acted
ed upon, then much more should ours.
The especially striking feature in the
Hawaiian article is the close parallel
running between their labor and
financial conditions and ours. Their
cry sounds almost like an echo of our
own, and in places the reading of their
petition sounds like ours merely par
APPRAISED.
There exists one essential difference,
however, between the burdens of our
prayers: we are petitioning for hy-
brid or Independent currency; Hawaii
wants and asks for nothing more and
nothing less than the straight United
States dollar Perhaps in this there
lies lesson for us. Hawaii has gained
her experience with a currency some
what similar to that which we are ask
ing, and-it has proved unsatisfactory
We are looking to begin where Hawaii
started some twenty years ago; where
will twenty years find our currency
Perhaps time had better be left to
answer this question. In any event, it
cannot find us worse off than we are
at present. The Philippine Commits
sion, or Conant peso, may not prove all
that is hoped for; but it has been gen
orally accepted that Congress would
not confer upon us the United States
dollar at this time; and, rather than
risk getting nothing at all, we have
compromised. Possibly in years to
come we may find ourselves in the po-
sition of Hawaii, asking for the
straight United States currency and
quoting: AS territory of the United
States our circulating medium should
be uniform with the currency of the
mainland. On the other hand, with
out United States legal value behind
them, conditions are apt to arise at
any time to interfere with the circula-
ton of our - coins. Manila Times.

PORTO RlCAN
TRIED TO DIE
Suspended Himself by a Rope
From a Partition Without
Damage.

Suicide by hanging was attempted
early Yesterday morning by Porto
Rican who lives in the rear part of
a former beer saloon on Liliha street.
near King. The attempt was witnessed
by the mans wife, who summoned a
police officer residing near by to pre-
vent such a calamity in her housesold.
The officer cut the man. down and had
him conveyed to the police station.
where he recovered and was allowed
to depart.
The couple have been in the saloon
structure for few months and have
not lived happily together of late. The
two engaged in a domestic quarrel on
Sunday evening, and the man went
away, vowing that he would live else
where, but later in the night changed
his mind and returned to his domicile.
At about $50 yesterday morning he
arose and announced his intention Of
committing suicide. A rope was found,
and this he placed about his neck, fast
ening the other end to the top of a
partition. He let his body down and
began to choke to death Then his
wife was aroused to action and the
police officer was called in. The man
was not much the worse for his tag
game with the grim reaper.

THE MOSQUITO AS
AN ISLAND PEST

the smell of these plants being disagree
able to the insects, whilst bananas ana
plantains attract them.
The question has arisen here as to
what effect petroleum would have on
taro plants were the taro patches to be
treated with oil. Mr.. Wray Taylor,
Commissioner of Agriculture, has been
for some time and is yet experimenting
on growing taro and he believes that
neither the growth nor taste of the
taro will be affected, even in the slight
est degree, by petrolising the growing
plant.
1t seems also to be a well ascertained
fact that mosquitoes are bad fiiers, and
do not travel far from their breeding
ground, and DR.. Young, of the British
Army Medical Service, gives as the re-
suit of extensive experiments at Shang-
hal, his conclusion that the anapheles
Will not fly over two hundred yards,
and to quote again from DR.. Howard,
he says: ION the whole, it seems to the
writer that in almost no case need an
individual or community be deferred
even for a moment from attempting
remedial work against mosquitoes by
the idea that the mosquito supply is
likely frequently to be renewed by
flights from long distances or even
from distances of much more than a
single mile
A far more serious source of re-es-
Enlistment from one point of view in
Honolulu is the introduction of the
stegomyea fasciata or yellow fever
mosquito, and the anopheles pencte-
penius or malarial mosquito, it being
improbable that either of these varie-
ties are yet to be found in these Islands,
at any rate have not been able to find
or procure them so far, and I am told
that mosquitoes were unknown for
merly in Hawaii until brought over in
sailing ships from the States. On these
sailing vessels they had probably bred
more or less continuously in the water
barrels, and when once introduced into
the Islands they multiplied exceedingly,
as we who live here now know only too
Well
What has happened before can and
probably will happen again, and with
the cutting of the Isthmus of Panama,
by canal, in the near future, we have
to face this most serious danger of the
introduction of infected mosquitoes
carrying in their salivary ducts and
proboscii the zygotes and blasts, or in
common parlance, the germs of yellow
fever and the other forms of tropical
malaria, SO prevalent in Central Amer
lea.
Gentlemen, this is a very real danger
ard one which it behooves our profess
sion to wake up to; and the sooner we
get the public interested the better will
it be for the future of all who live here.
invite your aid and cooperation in
the efforts of the Board of Health to
get few thousand dollars appropriated
by the newly elected legislature to COM
mence this work.
1t is high time to begin educating the
public and this is work in which we
medical men can surely all pull to-
gether.
I nave only to add, gentlemen I sin
ocrely hope 1908 may see an increase
in membership of this society as well
as increased good fellowship and fra
ternal feeling among us.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Larger and More Active Trade in Wheat
Than for Some Time

CHICAGO, April 10.-There was large
and active trade in wheat today. and the
market during the greater part Of the
session ruled weak en- selling by longs,
owing to discoursging advices from
abroad and fear of bearish Government
report. However, shortly before the end
of the session the market rallied in sym
pathy with the strength in corn, and
closed hrmer, &c lower than last night.
Foreign markets were generally quiet.
Liverpool closed unchanged from yester
day. Continental markets we're irregular,

mand both here and in the Northwest was
reported good. Export demand at the
