notice in an article by "Keih Ha- |
vail VS.. Oihana o" in other words
Hawaiian Boy VS.. Vaccination" where
he condemns vaccination and chal-
enges the IKE ola o ka Bahui" with
hese words. Let there be a commit
zee of thirteen appointed to judge over
he vaccination of some person, and
bet you the incubation of contagious
disease matter as 1t did with Keanu,
The leper, will prove fatal"
Now. Mr.. Editor. allow me space to
and dry up these continu.
)us misleading, injurious remarks, and
harmful advice, as far as Hawaiians
are concerned, by a Hawaiian fool or
n tool as they are generally, of the
Home Rulers.
or course anybody with common
sense knows that this idiot does not
know what he is talking about. To
contagious disease matter
and to vaccinate with some
sort of preventive or germicide are al.
together two different propositions.
Time and time again have seen these
false alarms given out by these papers.

He further on states that vaccinating
was commenced in A. ID. 1876 and in
1858 cholera or smallpox, he calls II
"hebera." swept away 279,000 Of the
population on account of vaccination.
To my fellow Hawaiians: Who were
the dozens of treacherous and cold
blooded doctors here at that time to
have done such rapid and clOck.work
slaughter. Maybe the Home Rulas
were out with a 1,000.clerk regiment
to note the death rate, with a 366.day.
.to-the.month calendar why not say
that the 1858 epidemic was caused by
mixing up too much of close.packed
people of about $1,000, lacking SAM.
tary knowledge, ignorant of the havoc
doings of a contagious disease, def.
mite quarantine guards and insufficient
professional force, being about the
commencement of the new era. His.
tory tells us that there were a few
doctors here at that period. A few
vaccinations had been made, and
wouldn't be afraid to say that most of
these escaped the mortality table. We
are eye-witnesses OF the healthy condl.
lions of those that live up to sanitary
rules, and the sickly-looking amongst
the filthy. We wouldn't be worthy of
civilization If this downright distinct.
iveness. race hatred declarations, down
tnat, down this. down progressiveness
and other damnation expressions are
not stopped. II the Home Rula and
its tools are so anXiouy to do its fellow
Hawaiians favors, and are so sure that
strict quarantining like the last is a
farce, then let 1t herd up all of It's
singsong late Home Rulers, II ever we
are visited again by the plague, turn
them loose with a case. Whoever, II
any, survives, will rise with a wiser
head and bet Ave cents will also have
an abundance of good material for
their instruments. instead of being full
of insinuations detrimental to the in
terest of the public. 1t is really too
bad.

some of the educated
with this hard earned money get up
and play grand stand plays and the
like, or anything to win a legislative
seat and a privilege to gas.gas, never
mind the consequences. Then we sub

And yet some OF the Home Rulers
would make an effort to legislate that
kahunaism be allowed. OF course this
means that the mediums would be at

ific shrubs and lne patient made Ia
swallow cupfuls of some mixture that
both of them know not the medicinal

spiritual displays. Thank Providence
that one of the gang has delivered a
slap in his own face by his introducing
to Congress the muCh.talkedof lepeT
bill. His own mouthpiece acknowl

Let us size up their damaging to the
Hawaiian political machine. First let
loose lepers, and then crush in the uu'
fortunates by overcrowding EalawaO
with importations. Two contradictory
moves.
Then have no quarantine regula'
tons. Fumigation is no good. Disin
fectants are worthless and should be
condemned. License kahunaism; tear
down sugar plantations; the backbone
Of these Islands. Down with honest
