COOPER TO CARTER.

Hon. Geo. r. Carter, Governor, Terri
tory of Hawaii.
Sir: Your communication of this
date addressed to the President and
Members of the Board of Health at
hand.
The franlness of speech that has al
ways existed between US, should per-
NIT the following statement to be made
and received in the spirit it is intend
ed: This Board fully realizes it's pub
lie duty, and also its 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
community, that there may be no re-
petition of the mortality, alarm, COM
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 it's 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
ritory in the present financial crisis,
nor in any crisis. as has previously
been proven.
The Board has earnestly endeavored
to meet, and in very great degree
has met, your views and desires. but
as 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 CALI

ed on Monday and your eommunica-
ton laid before them.
Very respectfully.

President of the Board of Health.
RESIGNATION ACCEPTED.

April 4, 1904
DR.. G. 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 ap-
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 Interests 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 it is best to ac-
Icept 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 I
consider to have come about from a
failure on the part of the Board to
fully recognize the gravity of, our finan-
cial situation, in comparison with their
duties as a Board in charge of the
Public Health.
I take this opportunity to express
my personal appreciation OF the cor
dial relations that have always existed
between us, and feel confident that they
will so continue.
It may not perhaps be possible to fill
your position with quite SO competent
ia man as you have proven yourself
to be- but public interests viii be
served by the precedent set.
Very sincerely yours,
(Signed) GEORGE R. CARTER,
Governor.

Federal Government began thirty years
ago to issue regular rations and blank
cts to the Indians, whose lands and
hunting-grounds our people had taken
possession of. It is part Of the White
Mans Burden that our nation has
righteously borne and is still bearing.
To some extent the same obligation is
owing here to the people whose coun-

them. But it will show how strange
delusion they are laboring under, who
think this Board has evinced a reluc-
tance to cut down expenses.
One word as to the possible effects
of these reductions. We have cut down
very close to danger point. As custo-
dams of the public health we must
never overlook our grave responsibility
for the welfare of the community. We
have to protect against disease a

Oriental in character. We
know by past experience what an
epidemic will do here if it once gains /
Roadway. 1t is liable to spread like |

price of safety, we are not expected,

DR. Coopers resignation as president
of the Board of Health, which like thai
of every departmental head was placed
without date in the Governors hands
when he was appointed, was accepted
bv Governor Carter yesterday after
noon. This happened after the Gov
ernor had received from Dr. Cooper a
letter replying to his communication to
the president and members of the Board
printed in the sunday Advertiser In
this letter DR.. Cooper stated that the
communication just mentioned would
be considered at meeting of the Board
to be held at p. M yesterday
The situation is now peculiar At the
meeting yesterday afternoon. attended
bv all the members except the Attorney
General, it was the unanimous senti-
ment that DIR. Cooper's treatment by
Governor Carter was unfair and un-
called for. The other members not only
made no move toward resigning their
seats, but they strongly urged DR.. Coop
en- to retain his membership. which he
holds by commission from Governor
Dole. When his resignation as pres
fdent was put into effect by Governor
Garter he had not yet received his COM
mission for the Office, it having been
in allegiance pending confirmation by
the Senate. This fact of itself was TAX
en- by the Board as making the Gov
ernor's action appear so much the more
abrupt.
DIR. Cooper had not given decided
answer to his colleagues about retain
ing his membership when the meeting
adjourned.
Tt was an executive session, but an
Advertiser reporter who returned to the
place of meeting by appointment with
DIR. Mays was invited to be present
some time before the close. In the
meantime DR.. Mays had submitted a
written statement of the Boards posi-
ton to his colleagues, by whom it was
approved and permitted for publication.
This document is printed herewith and
contains the substance of much that
was stated at the meeting in presence
of the reporter.
DR.. Cooper mentioned. with regard
TO the general desire that he remain on
the Board as a member, that for some
time past he had contemplated retir-
ing, yet in view of the unanimous con-
leagues he doubted if it was proper for
him to resign while they were all under
fire together. When the disposition to
adjourn became manifest. DIR. Cooper
reminded the members that he would
not be their presiding officer at next
meeting.
The response to this reminder was a
unanimous vote of thanks to the retir-
ing president, recognizing his ability
and courtesy as such and his great ser
vices to the Board and the community.
DR.. Cooper. replying briefly, mentioned
with satisfaction the work accomplish
ed in organizing the city sanitary SER
vice and the starting of new buildings
for the Insane Asylum
DIR. Mays remarked on the fact that
the Board fed and cared for 300 sick
people on Molokai, besides having
charge of the Insane Asylum and its
inmates, and remarks were general
- tt.

around the table that the Board had
made greater reductions than most OF
! the other departments. The Board OF
Education was specially mentioned as
having made no reduction of specific
salaries other than the voluntary one of
its head.
Those present at the meeting were
DR.. C. b. Cooper, Fred. C. Smith. Mark
p. Robinson, DR.. w. III. Mays, John
C. Lane and E. c. Winston.
AS the situation exists the Board of
Health is without an executive head
and none can be appointed from out
side of the membership, which is linn
tied by statute to two physicians, four
laymen and the Attorney General ex-
officio With regard to the presidents
Office, one of the things mentioned yes
terday was that the law does not re-
quire the president to give his full time
to the duties of the Office. DR.. Cooper
stated that he had regularly devoted
four hours day to the business of the
Board. Stress was laid by members
on the fact that the president was per-
forming the duties of the former exec
utive officer at the same salary, so that
no increase of expense ensued when the
presidents office was made a salaried
one.
The correspondence between Governor
Carter and DR.. Cooper. following that
published in this paper. togeth-
er with DR.. Mays statement, is given
below:
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1904-04-05
DIR. MAYss STATEMENT.

In view of the financial stress, the
Board of Health set to work in a most
loyal spirit to reduce its estimates
down to the figure mentioned by Gov
ernor Carter, and has come within a
few thousand dollars of doing so. If
the item of $4,000 for the Kalaupapa
store had been omitted, as the Board
advised, our estimates would have
reached below the proposed limit. The
money for the upkeep of the Kalau-
the Health Department. 1t is handed
us by the Government, passed on to
the store, and returned by the store to
the Government. A gives money to B,
B turns it over to C, and c hands it
back to A again. What has this to
do with the running expenses of the
Health Department? The fact is, this
idea of the Government conducting a
general merchandise store is wrong. 1t
should be dropped, and some merchant
allowed to start a store there to stand
on it's own bottom.
The Legislative appropriation for the
Health Department for the twelve
months is $410,0 600. Deducting the Ka-
laupapa store item it is only $685., 900.
This amount has been reduced 40 per
cent; for instance, straight cut Of
about 20 per cent has been made in
the salary of every employee. With
this we have SO managed that both
the Government Physicians and the
Free Dispensary have been retained. I
have been strongly opposed to looping
off the Government Physicians, who,
for what is often a trifiing pittance
from this Board, attend to the destitute
sick throughout the Islands. The
natives, as rule, are poor, living from
hand to mouth, and to leave then with
out medical help seems to me almost a
crinina; proposition. So with the Free
Dispensary here in town. With the
hospitals all closed against them, what
are the destitute poor to do? At the
Dispensary they can get medical adj
vice and medicine free.
In my opinion we do not go far
enough in fulfilling our duties towards
the aborigines of these Islands, whom
it is no exaggeration to say, we have
