To mitigate such appalling calami-
ties must surely be a function of the
government. Logically it is the duty
of boards of health to control and pre-
vent the spread of conta gious and in
fectious diseases. venereal as we'll as
non-venereal; but what is TO be said of
a one-sided system that applies to the
women and not to the men? Is it any
wonder that in countries where such
a system has been in vogue for a cen.
tury or more, it has proved to be an
utter failure? What would be thought
of a board of health that would at
tempt to suppress endemic smallpox
by having hundreds of suspected
females examined while it paid no heed
to thousands of their male consorts!
Yet this is exactly the way the cele-
brated Paris authorities have tried for
century to control the big pox.

FRANCE.
Is it any wonder that under such
circumstances scores of new cases of
syphilis are seen daily at the hospitals
of that great city, and that the lead

by Fournier, heartily condemn the
system, as they do.
What is true of Paris is equally true
of Berlin. Vienna and other cities that
have followed the Partisan model.
Physicians of those cities deplore the
increasing prevalence of syphilis and
other venereal diseases amongst the
inha bitants. and realize that no relief
can come from the present methods of
regulation. They are now establishing
societies for moral and social pro-

the people in these matters, and inn

DR.. F. r. Day, in response to the
Advertisers request for his views on
the Iwilei question, contributes the fol-
lowing article:
Since Senator McCandless brought up
the subject of Iwilei and the matter
of prostitution i'll Honolulu has been
made public l have waited for some
one to present clear and comprehen-
sive statement of the case from a
medico-moral point of view. The es-
sence of the investigation so far has
been to criticise the High Sheriff for
trying to control the traffic and to cry

with it, but 81 one voice has been
ra ised against She utter inefficiency OF
the measures under investigation.
LOWERING STANDARDS IS
DANGEROUS.
First as to the moral side. Prostitu-
ton is acknowledged to be the great
est blot on our much vaunted Christian
civilization. Though it is as old as
society and probably will endure until
the millennium it is-always has been,
and always will bean odious vice and
an unmitigated evil which no govern
ment can afford to recognize without
lowering its standard of right.
AS has been wisely said, THE law
is our criterion of right" Deviation
from the law is therefore a deviation
from the right, and if prostitution is
legalized it is made right in the eyes
of the law. Can we afford to take
such a step? Can we afford to make
what is morally, socially and hygien-
ically wrong, legally right? Can We
afford to regulate and protect a traffic
so vile. so degrading, so ruinous aIs
prostitution? If the proposition were
made to regulate and protect any other
evil, slavery for example the whole
community would be up in arms
against it.

than that it be given legal status

pervision.
Should the government be made a
panderer to vice; a provider of the
means of gratifying lust? Yet that is
virtually what it becomes when this
nefarious business is recognized and
protected.

Is there then no reason why the
government should exert control? Yes,

eeHonoIuIu s Finest were on parade
yesterday. Every police officer in the
city foot, mounted and specialize
ported at the central station. The
guardians of the peace were reviewed
in full-dress uniform, went through
,evolutions in campaign uniform and
showed how quickly they could arm
themselves in case of emergency. A
large delegation of the Legislature
were interested oniookers. The visit
ing solons went through the station
house and through the Jail and prison
from top to bottom. Storerooms and
ammunition chests were opened for
their inspection-no door was closed
to them-and they found everything in
tip-top condition. President Isenberg
of the Senate voiced the sentiment of
the legislators when he congratulated
High Sheriff Henry and the police force
on the perfect order in which every
thing was found.
Several things were brought to the
attention of the legislators on which
they are likely to take action. One of
these is the condition of the prison
hospital, where two consumptive pa
tients have to be kept in the same room
with patients not affected with tuber-
culosis. Until recently tuberculosis
patients have been very rare at the
prison, but Porto Ricans are very sus-
ceptibIe TO the disease and now there
are always two or three cases. The
legislators were shown the absolute
necessity of providing ward where
the eonsumptive patients may be seq
regated. All the members present seem
ed to favor the erection of cottage on
the lot at the rear of the prison at
cost of from $500 to $4,000. Here
the consumptive patients may be cared
for without endangering the health of
other men.
The other request of the police au.
thorities was for small appropriation
to raise the wall of the old part of the
prison to the height of the wall around
the new Jail. The expense of this, it
was stated, would be very slight, some
of the stone being already cut.
THE INSPECTION.
The members of the Legislature and
other visitors were received by High
Sheriff Henry and Deputy High Sheriff
Rawlins. who were in full uniform. At
a few minutes after nine the party

tive party, Senator Achi was called and
spoke a few eloquent words to the
men in Hawaiian. He was followed by
Attorney General Andrews and Repre-
sentative Harris. Both speakers com
plimented the men on their nne ap
pearance, and the Attorney General
said that his department would stand
behind the police department and back
it up. He hoped the two departments
would always pull together.
After the speeches, Captain Parker
ordered the men to break ranks and
prepare for drill with weapons. The
men crowded upstairs and in an in
crediblv short time were back, dressed
in campaign unifroms with bayonted
rifles. The force again fell in, and
after the manual of arms had been
executed, marched outside to the lot
opposite the station where they went
through marching evolutions under the
direction of Captain Parker. This drill
was cut short on account of the wind
and dust storm that was raging.
When the men had again assembled
in the Jail yard, Senator Isenberg made
a few remarks, complimenting the force
on the showing they had made, and the
Sheriff and his deputy on the fine con-
dition in which the station house was
found. Senator Isenberg said that
there was one thing that he wished to
impress upon the men, and that was
the necessity of discipline. Obedience
to superior officers is the cardinal point
in military system.

house, the party proceeded to the pris-

Washington, May P. The annual address and report of Major Richard Sylvester of Washington, D. C., the president, and papers by William A. Pinkerton and Chef Alonzo ". Corey. of Brookline, Mass, were the features Of the first days meeting of the twelfth annual convention of the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
 MT. Pinkerton's paper was on the subject of "Forgers and Their Fate" He said that until recent years there were many bands of professional forg- CTS operating throughout the United States, realizing thousands of dollars yearly, whose leaders were practically immune from arrest because of the in sufficiency of evidence to convict them.
 By the support Of the Bankers as sociation, aided by the police officials, he added, i've have practically put the old time professional forger out of bus iness until to-day there are only occa- sional forgeries, mostly by amateurs, and for small amounts. In the past twenty five years we have had to do with the conviction of possibly 800 forgers, and to-day I do not know of a single one of them out of prison who has any money.

EVANGELISTIC CAMPAIGN
BEGUN IN METROPOLIS TESTER
 DAY AFTERNOON.

All the Prominent Clergymen of Every
 Protestant Religious Denomination
 in the City Supporting the Movement
 Fifty Thousand Dollars to be Spent
 During Summer to Convert People.
 New York, May 22.-An evangelistic campaign led by Rev. J. B. Ely, of Philadelphia, and supported by all the prominent clergymen of every Protes- tant religious denomination in this city, was begun this afternoon by big meeting in the plaza in front of the city hall Within few moments after a Salvation army cornetist began the notes of .Nearer, My God. to Thee from the city hall steps two thousand persons had gathered in front of the city hall steps and the crowd of listen CTS was constantly augmented and changed during the service which fol- lowed and lasted for an hour. Rev. pr. 5C. l.. Goodell, of the Calvary Methodist church, announced that the movement was designed to bring the churches and the people together. Addresses were made by other New York city pastors.
 The life of Theodore Roosevelt was held up by all the speakers as a mon unent to right living, and the reference was received with handclapping by the assembled throng. The president was characterized as the best loved presi- dent since Abraham Lincoln.
 Rev. MT. Ely said: Fifty thousand dollars will be spent this summer by the evangelistic committee of Greater New York in an effort to convert as many thousands of persons at open air meetings to be held in the busy thor oughfares of the city.
 This movement is interdenomina- tional and already has the support of every Protestant minister. No collec- tions will be taken at any of the meet ings. The evangelistic committee is supported by the generous contributions of those who are heart and soul with the movement, but cannot actively par ticipate in the work.
