An OPINION
FROM H|L0
Or. Stow on Doing Away
With Government
Physicians.

DR.. C. l.. Stow, Government physician
at Hilo, in letter to the president
of the Board of Health, states that the
police of that district have become able
to handle the suspect" business. Re-
ferring to the closing of the hospital
there, he tells of number of destitute
sick cases having been treated in the
Jail
The Hilo doctor refers to Il case of
contagious disease previously reported,
which he says would probably not have
been discovered If there were no Gov
eminent physician, and remarks
The multifarious duties of Gov
eminent physician are well known to
the Board, especially as regards town
of this size. should the Office be abolish
ed the danger of plague, cholera, etc,
would, l think be IA very
real one"

MAY MEET
TOGETHER
A Joint Caucus of
Both Parties
Possible.

Home Rule and Republican members
of the Legislature will hold caueuses
| today, and there may be a joint caucus
of both houses before the opening of
the special session tomorrow morning.
The organization of the two houses
is still matter somewhat in doubt,
although it is almost certain that
Beckley will be speaker of the House,
and Senator Crabbe will of course pre-
side over the sessions of the Senate.
For clerk in the Senate, William
Savidge will be elected without oppo-
sition. 1t is doubtful whether there
will be any other officials than clerk
and a sergeant-at alarms in the Senate,
as the Senators generally favor doing
without interpreters or adding to the
expenses of the special session.
In the House the fight is over the
clerkship, with Meheula out of the
race. Charles Williams of Hamakua
and former Land Commissioner e. S.
Boyd are after the job as Republicans,
while John Wise is assured of the sup
port of the Home Rulers. Both Will
liams and Boyd also hope to pull Home
Rule votes in case of a three-cornered
contest. Another plan which is favored
by some of the Republicans is to con-
solidate the clerkship with the short
hand clerk and offer the position to G.
p. Thielen. thus saving the salary of
an extra official. There has been talk |
of cutting out all the officers in the
House but clerk and sergeant-at-arms,
but the natives object to that plan.
Instead, as a means of proving their
agreement with the general plan of
economy, they want to elect the full
set of officers at reduced salaries. This
plan will probably be followed.
The Home Rule caucus has been call
ed for this morning, and a plan of ac-
ton about as outlined in yesterdays
will probably be decided up
on. The Republicans will also caucus
this evening, and an attempt is being
made to bring about a meeting of the
entire Legislature, both Republicans
and Home Rulers.
The Legislature will not, so promi-
nent members say, adopt the recon-
for appropriations in a
lump sum. There is considerable OPP
position to such procedure on the
ground that it allows too much OPP
portunity for abuses in leaving such
wide discretionary power to the depart
ment heads. On the other hand, in
view of the reduced scale of expenses
upon which the government must be
the Legislators appear to be
willing to allow a lump sum, not
specifically apportioned, for each de-
oartment, in order to meet any emer-
sencies.

RESIGNATION ACCEPTED.

April 4, 1914.
Dr. c. B. Cooper, President of the
Board of Health, Honolulu.
Dear Sir: AS it becomes necessary
for me at this session of the Legisla-
ture to send in the names of the APP
pointees which require the approval
of the Senate, and in view of the fact
that you have emphatically stated that
it would be impossible for you to give
your entire time to Board of Health
matters, (Which / believe to be essen
ton to the best ...terests of the Terri
tory, and as it would not be fair to
the Senate to send in your name, know
ing that you would not, under such
conditions serve beyond the end of the
session, / conclude 1t Is best to ac-
cept your resignation at this time, and
begin at once to ascertain who can
be obtained to take the position for
the ensuing period.
Let me assure you that this course
has absolutely nothing to do with the
attitude of the Board in reference to
the reduction of expenditures. That /
consider to have come about from
failure on the part of the Board to
fully recognize the gravity of our finan-
cial situation, in comparison with their
duties as Board in charge of the
Public Health.
| take this opportunity to express
my personal appreciation of the cor
dial relations that have always existed
between us, and feel confident that they
viii so continue.
1t may not perhaps be possible to MI
your position with quite so competent
a man as you have proven yourself
to be, but public interests win be
served by the precedent set.
Very sincerely yours,
CSigned GEORGE II, CARTER,
Governor.

Committee to Confer
With the Governor
About Funds.
(From Mondays Daily.l

on the Claudine from Maui They rep
resent the Civic Federation of wailu-
ku, and will today confer with Gov
ernor Carter, Treasurer Kepoikai and
! Superintendent Holloway on matters
pertaining to the Improvement of the
town of Wailuku. Mr.. Case Is presi-
dent of the federation, chairman of the
executive committee and heads the
delegation now in this city.
Several appropriations of money
We're made by the last legislature for
the benefit of Maui, and the commit
tee is DESTROYS of ascertaining when
the money is to become available.
There is an appropriation for a road
up lao valley, another to Maalaea bay
and others for the Improvement OF
Wailuku streets, a new schoolhouse.
new Jail and courthouse, and the Wal
lukans wish to see the color of the
money.
. . .
The frankness of speech that has al
ways existed between us, should per-
init the following statement to be made
and received in the spirit IL is intend
ed: This Board fully realizes its pub
lie duty, and also it's responsibility for
the public health both as relates to
human and commercial welfare for the
care of the leper charges, of the in
digent sick and insane, and for vigil
liant oversight over the health of the
that there may be no re-
mercial distress and embargo, we have
at times experienced.
These responsibilities seem impera-
tive to the Board and more vital than
any other function of government save
that of public order.
This Board has already gone much
further in its reductions than any 9TH
er Department considering the magni-
tude of its functions and duties which
cannot be too restricted or suspend
ed without inviting disaster.
The Board lacks nothing in public
spirit or devotion and self sacrifice to
the imperative interests of this Ter
rltory in the present financial crisis,
ioi III amy ciisis, as mas previously
been proven.
The Board has earnestly endeavored |
to meet. and in very great degree |
has met, your views and desires. but |
rs conscientious public servants, have |
been obliged to heed in some measure |
the convictions of long public service |
and experience.
A meeting of the Board will be call |
I'd on Monday and your communica-
ion laid before them.
Very respectfully

HOME RULE VIEW.

THE Home Rulers are in with the
Governor for economy" said Senator
Kalauokalani, after the Home Rule
caucus yesterday morning. I'VE did
not come to any conclusion this morn
ing because some of our members We're
not on hand, and another caucus will
be held tomorrow morning.
Il believe that we should make the
session just as short as possible. This
is no time to do politics. There won't
be any county bills introduced if l can
prevent it. While we might all want
county government, this session cannot
be wasted in considering such matters.
OF course individual members may in
troduce county bills but the Home Rul-
ers as party will not work for it.
We don't intend to do party politics at
this special session and only want to
help the Governor economize."

THE PUBLISHERS CORNER.

We have a letter for Mr.. Blake Johnson in our
hands, which cannot be delivered because he has
failed to give us his present ~pOstOfice address.
Bear in mind, kind reader, that we cannot pub
lish obituary notices, resolutions of respect, or
original poetry. We should have to enlarge the
paper if we were to admit such matter.
We have said it many times before, but for the
purpose of emphasis we repeat that we cannot
allow a commission on ones own subscription,
that we cannot allow a commission on subscrip-
tionS in clubbing combinations, and that as we
have no credit system of bookkeeping. cash must
accompany all orders before credit on label can be
given.
Nothing interests US more than the suggestions
we are receiving from subscribers in regard to
ways and means of improving the paper. A num-
Der have asked for fuller market reports and we
are now trying to supply this demand. Several
have suggested a page for inquiries, and we are
ready to adopt this idea as soon as the inquiries
arrive in sufficient numbers. A poultry depart
ment is desired by another reader, and whether we
create a special department or not, we are going
to give much attention to poultry. Not only does
Harry Farmer take up the subject this week, but
Mr.. j. S. Jeffrey, the efficient p~oultryman of the
Experiment Station, gives in this number the first
of a series of valuable articles he will write for
us. He will also gladly answer any inquiries our
readers may send.

TOPICS FOR SUB ALLIANCE MEETINGS.

The Program Committee of the State Farmers
Misunderstanding of DR.. F. L. Stevens, Mr.. 7.
B. Parker, DIR. G.. w. Burkett, and the writer
suggest as the general topic for discussion in the
Sub Alliances for the quarter ending March 81,
1904: "The Alliance in it's Relation to the Home
and Social Life"
For February the subject suggested is: GLOW
can we Best Improve our Home and Home
Grounds-for Beauty, Usefulness and Healthful-
ness" Among the questions to be considered are,
the Wanting of shade trees, the drainage of
grounds, the Improvement of the garden, flowers
and ornamental plants, pictures in the home, the
Improvement of the buildings, etc. By exchange
of ideas and experiences this should be made a
very profitable subject Of discussion. We are ex-
pecting DR.. F. L. Stevens to give us an article
on this text next week, and we shall be glad to
hear from other writer's also.
Of course, the State Program Committee only
suggests topics. Every county and Sub Alliance
should appoint a program committee each year,
and this committee should either develop the State
Committees ideas or substitute ideas of its own.
The only way to keep men and women in the Al
lance is to make the meetings interesting. And
the only way to do this is to have attractive pro
grams.

The Pity Of II.

The building of roads and bridges may be post
poned with only inconvenience and temporary
material loss as a result; but to postpone the
building of good schools brings eternal loss in
knowledge, intelligence, culture, and the highest
interests of life to the boys and girls fast grow
ing through the educable years of childhood and
youth to manhood and womanhood. A people may
sometimes be justified in postponing the one,
never in postponing the other.
Yet a Southern county. in which there is not a
public high school, recently appropriated $780,
600 for roads and bridges, but nothing for high
schools. What will become of the money appro-
priated for roads and bridges?
The history of a neighboring county that has
in the last fifteen years spent half a million for
roads gives the answer. More than half the
money has been wasted because the county au-
thoritics, chosen by the people, did not know
enough about road building to secure the proper
use of the money, and the general intelligence of
the people was such they tolerated the waste and
bad work for more than a decade. Ignorance
among the people Is the most expensive of all lux
uries, perhaps the only absolutely ruinous one

Push the Brownlow Bill.
Editors Progressive Farmer:


AS there was nothing in the papers this week
about the Brownlow road bill, that is to be up be-
fore Congress in the next two weeks | hope you
will publish, in the next issue, a piece 10 regard
to this bill, urging the people to write to our Sen
ators and Representatives to vote and work for
this bill. It seems to me that this bill is one Of
the most important that has been, or will be, be-
fore the present or any other session of Congress
for a long time.
Our roads now from one weeks hauling Over
them, are almost impossible, yet the hauling sea-
son has just fairly begun. People hauling pro-
duce to and from market have to put four horses
to a two-horse wagon and then it is hard on the
team to get a small load over the present condi-
ton of the roads.
There is a circular issued by Congressman
Brownlow, of Tennessee, that can be had by any
one applying to their Representatives at WASH
ington, that ought to be in every family in North
Carolina. Last year many of our people bought
pairs of mules when they we're at the highest
prices, just to help during the winter hauling. If
this bill is passed it will not Dry add greatly to
the wealth of the Government, but will help every
man, woman and child as we'll as the beast of bur-
den. / hope all of our people will take enough in
terest in this most important bill to urge it's pass
age by the present Congress.
". G. SMITH,
Caswell Co., N. G.
Mr.. Smiths letter reached us after our edi-
torial on the Brownlow Bill had been written. We
are glad to publish his letter. Another strong
argument for the Brownlow idea will appear next
week.-Editor.

Those Names for "Sample Copies"

We have on hand a great many requests for
sample copies two or three weeks" Now we hope
these Sample copy readers will bear in mind
that we have to mail copies to our regular sub
scribers first; hence the sample copy reader gets
his paper a little late each week. But as soon as
he forwards his subscription, the name will be put
on our regular subscription list and each issue
mailed properly.
And about those names of your ncighbors that
you sent us, Bro. Subscriber: have you been to see
these neighbors yet? Within four weeks, at any
rate, from the time we received the names, you
should see them and get their subscriptions. Give
this your attention.

A Valuable New Bulletin.

"Practical Farm Experiments" should be the
title of a bulletin about to be issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture, and known as Farmers
Bulletin 1856. 1t is the twenty-third of a series
of pamphlets on experiment station work through
out the country and contains a number of short
cOndensations of the most useful practical expert
ments which have been made by the various Gov
eminent stations during the past several months.
Several of these have already been reviewed
in this correspondence. Among the subjects de-
scribed are Apple Cider Pomace as a Feed for
Cattle; Rations for Laying Hens, and Early
Melting of Hens; Macaroni Wheats; Losses in
Manures on the Farm; Early Tomatoes; Protec-
ton of Peach Buds; Dandelions as a Weed; also
as a CroD; Disposal of Dead Animals; Evapora-
ton from Incubator Eggs; Keeping Quality of
Butter; Curing Cheese in Cold Storage, and
several other things. Most of these articles are
only a few hundred words in length and can be
picked up and read Gin between times" and for
this reason these farm Observation-Disclosures
bulletins are the most valuable for general read
ing of any of the publications issued by the De-
partment. This bulletin is free to those enough
interested to write to their member of Congress
or the Secretary Of Agriculture.

Mr.. F. J. Merriam, editor of the Southern Ru-
ralist, says the best way for the South to produce
more cotton is to produce more per acre and not
by planting more acres. This plan is emphasized
by the scarcity of farm labor. lie says to buy
more fertilizer and prepare the land a little better
and the same labor now employed can make an
average of a bale of cotton on two acres instead
of a bale on three acres. This seems to bring to
mind that fertilizers will probably be in big de-
mand in the spring and there may not be enough
to go round. This looks good for the fertilizer
works. as well as for next years crop of cotton.
Mr.. Merriam says every farmer ought to be at
work now putting his land in order and looking
out for NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Chronicle
