orators had been ordered last summer, and work
on the power houses would be begun next month

II is almost impossible for women and chill
dren to cross Fifth-ave. either at Forty-second-
ST. or Thrtyfourth-st. in the daytime without
running a great risk OF being knocked down by
horses and vehicles A policeman is usually
stationed at these crossings. and sometimes two
or more officers are there to help people 10 dodge
the carriages and horses and to get across In
safety. Even when the policemen are there the
number of carriages, wagons and other kinds
of vehicles is so great that IL generally takes
considerable time TO get from one side OF the
street to the other without being run over That
many accidents do not occur daily at the cross
ings is astonishing. This condition OF things
could be easily bettered by the building OF
public thoroughfares under the avenue at Thir-
ty-fourth and Forty-second SITS. Such thorough
fares could be built quickly and at small cost
according to many real estate mon.

side of Broadway. between Thirty third ana

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1902-10-18

Guam got a shake up from earth
quake late last month which has caus-
ed a considerable amount of destruc-
ton of property in so small a place.
With infrequent communication it took
some time before the needs of Guam
were telegraphed from Manila to
Washington. The cable will be a god
send to Guam. However in Spanish
times Guam was a good deal further
out of the world than it is now. 1t will
be remembered that when the Charles
ton steamed into the harbor, the Span
ish Governor learned for the first time
that there was war between the United
States and Spain, and was nightly
surprised when he found himself a
prisoner of war. Guam is better off
than that now. The earthquakes have
been quite severe and the number of
shocks have been almost continuous
for several hours at a stretch. We shah
now hear that the seismic instruments
announced the earthquakes in Guam
on the day which they occurred They
always do after the event. There IS
profound secrecy about the movements

earthquake or volcanic eruption is re-
ported in the newspapers.

lican source, and which might have
been in operation today. The Republic
cans can say now that they are pre-
pairing another bill and a general NUM-
cipal act which will be ready for dis
cussion as soon as the session meets.
They have fought and will continue to
fight WilcOX's infamous plan for ming
ling our lepers, with all the lepers of the
United States, and breaking up the do
nestle ties of those unfortunate wards
of our people. They have pushed, at
their own expense, the fire claims
whereby the poor will be recouped for
their losses during the sanitary fires,
which claims Wilcox never seriously
advocated before Congress, and which
he SO, belittled that he has seriously en-
dangered their consideration.
The Republicans through their Dele
gate, Prince Kuhio, will obtain money
from the Federal government for light
houses, for harbor improvements, for
breakwater for Hilo, for Federal build
ings for Hilo and Honolulu All Of
government work, well paid work, with
eight hours a day time and no fear Of
Asiatic competition. This work will
have to be done by American citizens,
and every Hawaiian is by right of birth
an American citizen.
These are a few of the things the
Republicans can point to as having
done or being ready to do. They Win
give a county bill and a general NUM-
cipal law, safeguarded so that the Ha.
waiian tax payer shall not be robbed
They will protect and take care of the
lepers. They will push as they have
pushed, the fire claims. They will carry
out all needed local public works. They
will help the American Hawaiian la
borer through federal appropriations.
They will continue eX-Queen Liliuoka-
lani's pension and will urge that she
have substantial compensation.
These are no empty cries. These are
distinct and clear cut certainties to be
obtained if the Republicans become the
leading power in the Legislature, and if
their delegate is sent to Congress. The
Home Rulers and their Democratic fol-
lowers give the voters a stone. The Re
publican party will give them bread,
and beef and poi, and have them with
dollars in their pockets. The Republic
cans do not deal in theory, they deal
in the practical and solid advantages of
life, They appeal not to prejudice but
to common sense.
