Judge Spooner Decides For
Plaintiff in Case Against
Telephone Company.

cient to Prove That the
Plaintiff SWOre.

Judge Spooner Saturday after
noon handed down decision in
the case of Louis Blooston VS.. the
Iron Range Electric Telephone
company which was brought to
compel the telephone company to
install a telephone in the plant
ifs place of business on Mime
sofa avenue. The phone had been
removed from the establishment
because of the alleged use of
abusive language by the proprie-
tor, Mr.. Blooston.
The following memorandum is
annexed to the decision:
The rules of law in this cause
were not a su bject of controversy,
it being admitted that the res.
pondent is obliged to furnish
equal telephone facilities to all
who apply for service and that,
OF the other hand, all patrons
are bound to recognize and adhere
to reasonable rules and regula-
tions of the company. One rule
of the company is that no indie
cent, profane or offensive lam
guage shall be used over it's
wire. This regulation has many
times been pronounced reason.
able one by courts and a violation
of it is sufficient cause for deny

vice. This proposition of law is
not disputed by the relator and
the only question to determine,
therefore, is one of fact viz: Did
the relator use the language at
tributed to him by respondent?
For obvious reasons, courts
should stoutly insist on the strict
observance of this salutary rule
by patrons of telephone com.
panies. With telephone wires
running into so large percent
age Of homes throughout the
land, language of an offensive
nature uttered in one quarter
may reach the ears of persons
for whom it was not intended,

that operators-many of whom

protected from Insults alone a
sufficient reason why courts
should compel the strictest com

SUBURBAN FIRE PROTECTION.

Yesterday mornings fire at Puunui
emphasizes the need of extending the
system of suburban fire stations which
was happily begun with the erection of
Malliki, and added to with that of the
KaIihi station. More Immediately the
same fire directs attention to the Sc
rious lack in the water system, where
by important residence sections out of
speedy reach of the fire-fighting ma
chimes are at times left without a water
pressure sufficient to enable the resi-
dents themselves to tackle q fire.
REWRITING to the subject of suburban
fire stations, it might be timely now TO
renew a suggestion-made al different
times in the past-that sub-police sta
tions should be combined with the for
mer. 1t would afford a means of more
effective distribution of police protec-
ton than now obtains. There Is no
reason why small police watch at such
sub-stations should not take charge OF
and operate the light apparatuses. such
as chemical engines and hose wagons,
with which such places should be
equipped.
1t is exceeding strange that there has
been an absence of agitation for local
fire protection on the part of the resi-
dents Of some of the suburbs contain
ing a large amount of combustible
property. There is the first precinct of
the fourth representative district, for
instance, which includes the Oldest and
best built. as we'll as most famous, Of
Honolulus suburbs - Waikiki That
precinct has property assessed for tax
alton to the value of nearly a million
dollars, yet it is without any mechani-
cal protection from fire for its palatial
hotel and many stately mansions.
Neither has the precinct any police
service other than a furtive visit at odd
times from mounted officer. Punahou
is fairly within the effective range OF
the Maktki fire station, but the COM
paratively closely-built College Hills
tract has to depend on garden hose
The Waialae section has it's own water
works, but ought to have a few by
drants disposed wherever houses are
grouped CONTINUOUSLY enough to make
a burning one dangerous to others.
Perhaps some of the rernoter suburbs
might be provided with inexpensive fire
appliances on condition that the resi-
dents form and maintain voluntary or
CARNATIONS for their care and operation
This is one of the useful functions thar
local Improvement clubs might assume

THE PLANTERS AND SKILLED LABOR.

The Advertiser does not know Mr.
Charles Wagner. It never heard OF
him until ne came to register his COM
plant about the Planters Employment
Agency. 1t does not know whether he
is a good. bad or Indifferent workman.
1t has simply given him the hearing
that every man is entitled to, whether
he is rich or poor.
What the Advertiser does know,
however, is that it lis up to the
planters to make good their voluntarily
adopted and publicly announced policy
of employing citizens in the skilled and
semi-skiIIed positions on the planta-
tions.
There were no strings on that policy;
no suggestion that it depended on the
adoption of the Pinkham Report or
policy was in the highest degree
sound one from the standpoint of self
interest, on the part of the plantations,
as well as being in the interest of
good citizenship and consequently of
good government. 1t is a policy which
meets the hearty approval of the COM
rnunity at large, and of the progressive
element among the planters them
selves.
Announcing a policy is one thing, |
however, and carrying it into execu-
ton is another.
The Advertiser knows Of a number
Of instances where the policy is being
put into operation-slowly, but still
progress is being made. There are
doubtless many other instances I'M
known to this paper. But, on the other
hand. it is common knowledge that on
a very large number of plantations no
move is being made to make the policy
effective |:
The Advertiser knows well enough
that radical changes cannot be accom-
plished in a day, and that many men
who seek employment are unfit to ,
work, but more could have been ac- c
in putting the policy into 6
'orce than has been accomplished.
II is well that Mr.. Wagner has
the matter to the front for v
consideration. Developments will be t
waited with interest.
