As 10 Pest Dsstroysrs

There is probably no little country
on earth that has been more thorough.
ly victimized by "bugologists' than
Hawaii. These Islands have been the
operating ground for the most extrav.
agant of experiments, and yet the peo.
pie go on appropriating large sums Of
money for the support of the cranks
urging the experiments and for the i'm.
portation of all sorts of parasites and
what-not that almost invariably turn
out to be worse than the pest they are
intended to combat. Fighting para
sites with parasites is one of the finest
theories in the world and occasionally
the scheme may be worked out sue.

must be and is attended by great and
constant danger, and the man has not
yet lived who can carry 1t on without
entailing more or less disaster. 1t is
absurd for Prof. Perkins or even Prof.
Koebele to imagine that they can, in
Hawaii or anywhere else, carry on
wholesale scheme of importing and
propagating all manner of parasites
without running the country and them
selves into trouble. The importation
OF parasites has worked itself out into
a proposition of bringing in little de-
stroyers one year to prey upon the de.
stroyers brought in the year before.
Fine scheme for the "bugologists", but
deucedly expensive.

SATURDAY. APRIL l6, 1904.
SPEAKER WAS OYER SEV6RE.

Speaker Deckley. in our opinion,
which may not be considered of much
account since we have been indicted by
a morally hide-bound Federal grand
jury, was rather harsh and severe in
his treatment of representative Ku-
malae yesterday about the noon hour,
and, furthermore, his ruling at the
time was very arbitrary and seemed
humiinting. While the Speaker was
on the point of putting a motion, the
alleged offending momber, If we may
call 1t as such, addressed the Chair
on a point of information, to which no
notice was taken. vas in return told
10 sit down, and had the motion put
while the member stood. The control
ling majority were for the time non
plussed, all sitting there with their
mouths gaping. 1t was claimed by the
Speaker that as he had the floor and
under the rules, no member had a
right to entcrpoee or else interfere
with him. This we consider arbitrary,
as it is an assumption of power not
granted him under the rules. We think
that as soon as he is properly address
ed the Speaker should take his seat
and recognize the addressing, or Of
Tending, member. But he rushed the
matter through and all was over in a
few minutes without the member gain
ing the information he desired on the
measure under consideration at the
time. The Speaker could never have
bHon cEar in himself If the majority
thought otherwise, but that majority

Mistake OF The GOVsrnoi.

We understand that the strongest
fight against the maintenance of the
band is being quietly made by no less
parsonage than Governor Carter. The
Governor has done many things since
he accepted Office for which he must
be heartily commended, but in this
band matter he is making a mistake.
For many years the band has figured
as an institution that added greatly to
the pleasures OF life in Hawaii 1t has
been worth its cost many times over,
and now that every effort is being EN-
ployed TO attract tourists to the Islands
there should be no thought of cutting
it out. The public is with the band,
and Governor Carter will disappoint
the community should he exercise the
power given him of vetoing the item in
the appropriation bill.

What Is Billy 'oogs?

Billy Hoogs claims that he is not
nonentity as mentioned herein. We
may be mistaken as to that, but he was
the Republican member from the
Fourth in 1901, who introduced a reso-
luton in the House to make the sea
stay where it had receded to and not
come up any further, and Hawaiians
got the douse for it. For that, what
use is there of sending such freak
or nonentity to Chicago. We under
stand he has been buttonholing some
native delegates, who don't know him
and have no use for them, nor they
for him. Alex. Robertson as the only
logical man for one of the many del
egates.

We did not say anything about the
slap the Bystander in last Sundays
Advertiser at the young lady at the
stamp window of the postoffice because
1t seemed to us to be an extremely un-
just trick on the part of the anony-
nous writer for the morning press.
Since then, however, other pepole have
seen fit to take up the case. Thorough
investigation convinces us that there
was no ground for the attack, and that
it was a piece Of downright meanness.
The young lady is new at her present
post, but has proven competent and is
giving satisfaction TO the public-the
Bystander apparently, excepted.

If it is really desirable to extermin-

sides the public would then be getting
something out of the bargain for his
salary.

Besides he has no strings on him, other

able men In addition, however, they
SHOULD be Independent men-men in
position to express the will Of the Ter
ritory along the lines of its best inter-

should be sent, for the simple reason
that he would be tool in the hands
Of that faction Of the Republican party.
For that reason neither Governor Car
ter nor Mr.. Breckons should go. Let

Last Friday afternoon and evening the
people of the two churches of this place
gave their pastor, Rev. j. w. Burgin a rich
token of kind fellowship and regard. In
the afternoon a few went to the Baptist
parsonage and enjoyed a social visit and
tea; in the evening good sized company
gathered at the Congr church vestry
which had during the day been trans
! formed into a parlor. At the close of
pleasant social hour Deacon Arthur Kidder
| in few well selected words presented Mr..
Burgin with purse of $21. 90; the children
of the Sunday school then marched in,
and after reciting averse made gift of
dimes, not willing to be left out. 1t being
a "parceP' party numerous parcels of food
and money were also left by callers and
afternoon visitors. For all of these un-
expected and unmerited favors Mr.. Burgin
wishes to express his deep sense of graft

! whose hand are the treasures of earth and
riches of grace may minister both to the
