GLIMPSES OF
LOCAL POLITICS

Theresa's new paper was started
largely by subscriptions. 1t is said on
very excellent authority that there are
the names of some prominent Republic
can leaders on the list of those who
helped her. Some of these donations
were because Theresa decided to allow
the Territory to have a loan bill. AS
the situation developed it appeared that
the fate of this highly important meas
ure was in the hands of Mrs. Wilcox
and she kindly helped the Republicans
to pass it. 1t was a. proud realization
OF the Republican victory of 1902 in
the last election. The Republican and
Home Rule parties appeared to have
the same petticoat government. And
when ''the boys" have captured the
Republican county primaries the same
thing will occur again, say the kickers.
There is considerable talk of Fifth
district candidates for various offices in
the coming election. T. McCoon Stew
art is said to be after a nomination
for county attorney, while John Lane
is talked of for sheriff. and ]. D. Avery
for county clerk. James II. Boyd is
openly out for supervisor. and D. H.
Kahaulelio, E. c. Winston, Abraham
Fernandez are mentioned as running
mates. John Holt may be the man for
treasurer.-Star.

PEARL HARBoR OPENING.

The completion of the contract for
dredging Pearl Harbor will admit a
vessel drawing thirty feet to the great
lochs. In other words any of the YES
sells that enter here can go there. OF
course before commerce is invited the
entrance to the port must be beaconed,
buoyed and otherwise marked, but that
is matter of detail for which the
means will be had in due time if they
are not yet available.
Now that the port is all but ready,
the next step will be it's occupation.
Commercially there is no particular de-
mand for it yet and there will be less
when Supt. Cooper's admirable system
of wharves and docks has been built
up on the Honolulu waterfront. But in
a naval sense the new port is needed
vitality and we may expect that Cen
gress will, at it's next session, provide
the funds for beginning work on a ma
val plant and Notifications. There is a
sum in excess of 100000 available now
but the Naval authorities, when they
begin a task calling for millions, prefer
to have more money in sight.

EARTHQUAKES IN CALIFORNIA.

One Of the best things that could hap
pen to the Pacific coast would be the
opening OF a volcanic vent somewhere
in the Sierras, at enough distance from
populous areas to minimize the danger
OF eruptions. Gases forever accumL-
lating in the deep oil-bearing strata OF
the State and finding no orifice through
which to exhaust themselves, naturally
make trouble. After a severe earth
quake in California there is a strong
gaseous smell in the air, suggestive
OF that which comes from the open
Shasta or Lassen Butte or Mt. Whitney
active 1t is probable that earthquakes
would be few and far between. save
those which might be caused by shrink
ing OF the strata, the seepage Of ocean
water into heated cavities far below the
surface and by the machinery OF a VOL
cano in eruption. Undoubtedly the
number happening would be much
fewer than at present.
II Is fortunate that the latest seismic
movement IN QlO not COIIe dI
the height of the tourist season, for
nothing frightens the Eastern tender
foot more than any instability of the
soil underfoot. In August few strangers
visit the State. So. as a RESULT. Sun
days earthquake was almost a monop-
oily of those who cannot afford TO let
such things brighten them away.
But IL the seismic reputation OF the
Golden State is too much for anYbody's
nerves. Hawaii offers all such a sooth-
ing invitation. In the meles Of 1he
natives, descending from the year 500.
there is no record of any severe earth
Quakes here. Once in a great while
a long period of years-Honolulu feels
an almost imperceptible shiver, sort
of electric thrill. but it rests content in
the thought that IL gases or steam are
pressing to get out into Hawaiian air
the free vent of Kilauea, 200 miles
away, will give them way and room.
That deep pit is our safety. valve. the
thing that keeps these islands from
such experiences as periodically affiict
those who live in the shadow of the
choked-up volcanic cones that traverse
the length of California in parallel
lines.

When Judge Estee returns from his
well-earned vacation he will, we trust,
start a Grand Jury investigation of the
missing legislative vouchers. Evidence
grows that they have been burned and
it should be easy to fix the responsible
ity and land the guilty parties in jail
The Advertiser is informed that one
Of the missing vouchers would reveal
the payment of $40 for one page of
typewriting worth, at the outside. $3.50
There were scores if not hundreds of
such fraudulent transactions during the
four months the Ali Baba Legislature
was in session: and that is the reason
the vouchers were destroyed. AS the
Federal law governing Territories is
strict on this point, Judge Estee has
ample authority to proceed.

MOSQUITOES. TOURISTS AND DISEASE.

There are two potent reasons why
the authorities should spend some
money in a scientific warfare on mos
guitoes. One is to get rid OF an an
noyance to tourists and residents alike
the other is to cut off an agency Of
disease.
The common remark of tourist rs-
turning home from Honolulu is: "a
delightful place but for the mos
quitoesi" 1t is remark which has
cost Honolulu tens of thousands Of dol
lars more than the cost Of cleaning. out
the fnsect-breeding places would he
There are so many good places II stay
where mosquitoes do not abound as to
make IL matter of nerve for a tourist
TO deliberately choose a resort where
they are plentiful.
The consensus Of opinion is that the
mosquito carries and spreads the germs
OF the dengue fever which has given
our people so much annoyance for a
year past. The dengue fever does not
Kill and does not keep the victim in
bed more than a week or two. but it is
enough to turn the scale against Homo |
lulu in favor of a resort where there
is no dengue.
But this is not the worst. One Of the |
few varieties OF mosquito here is the |
yellow fever breed. 1t was originally |
brought from Mexico. where the yellow
fever prevails and it came in the stale
81 yr~Ha Of
yellow fever arrived with it the dis
ease might have been permanently To-
Gated in Hawaii; but so far, through
all these years, because Of the want
OF further communication with Mexico
and Central America, the yellow fever
has not been one Of our Affections. But {
IL single case appears in the harbor
and inoculates the right kind of a mos
quito, Hawaii will have no further at
fractions for tourists and little for resi- II
dents. When we realize that Hawaii.
as a port on the line between China and
Mexico, stands in peril OF the Southern I
Destilence for the first time in fifty r
years, the need of killing off the mos
quitoes becomes imperative.
The thing can be done. At Hilo Prof. III
Henshaw says that he can free the
place from mosquitoes in sixty days.
Here the job would take longer. owing ?
to the taro land, but even here the c
measures which are becoming effective
m the East would work out well. L
Vigilance as to standing water about
'ne's premises: the use of coal oil in
'wampy places and in ponds; the in
to all fresh-water ponds of o
arvae-eating fish; the planting, as in II
of tropical shrubs which exude
sweet, sticky substance In which mos
Iuftoes lose their lives-these are the
methods by which Honolulu could
-escue itself from a menace both to it's q
and its health and do so at
