said.
The reason Of the present failure
OF the churches Is twofold-their
methods are andquated and their
spirit IS commercialized. The world
has become collective and longs for
true c0mradeship. while the churches
have remained indiyidualistie and
have become timld and calculating.
The world needs not prayers and
profits SO much as justice and devoted
service. The tragic lack Of security and

NOT DISTURBED

II. 7. wood. secretary OF the Hawaii
Promotion Committee In not in the
least disturbed by the reports that
have como back from Los Angeles
concerning the Chamber of Commerce
excursion. The only ground of criti-
cism really worth considering was.
that $50 persons came on the excur-
sion when there were not accommo-
dations on the Ohio for so large n
number. Mr., Wood believed that ey-
cry thing had been done for their COM
Tort that could be accomplished, for
the low price of passage paid--si6o.
For that sum. transportation was fur
nished with bed and board during the
entire time that the ship was out from
the time she left San Pedro until she
locked again after the return voyage.
MIR Wood seemed to think that people
could not expect all the Injuries pro-

all the passengers deck staterocms.

ness was shown as was possible Those

defense of Secretary Virgins, secre-
tary OF the Los Angeles Chamber of

poth gentlemen left nothing undone
that lay in their power to please and
satisfy the people in their charge

he always is There were two DAYS

the voyage was delightful, barring the

lighted with their reception here, the
climate, the country and the people.
They spoke 1t all enthusiastically, and
1 heard nothing else 1t will prove to
be capital advertisement, in spite of
everything. for no fault was found

Senator Knudsen moved a reconsid-
Grafton of the vote taken on paragraph
8, Section of the bill. The motion
carried and he then moved that the
item be reinserted. The motion was

THE yEToEs.
Senator Kalama moved, after the
veto message of the bill encouraging
small farming, by the exemption from
taxation of property used in certain in
dustries had been read, to pass 1t not
withstandlng the Governors dis
pleasure.
Senator Hewitt supported the motion
and remarked that any measure in the
interest of the poor people seemed to
lack the support of the Executive. He
believed the bill good one and should
pass.
Senator Dowsett opposed the bill,
citing cases where owners of land are
leasing their lands at $25 an acre for
the cultivation of pines. The Terri |
tory Is in need of money and this thing |
should cease.
Senator Smith favored passage of the
bill in no uncertain language.
eff the cultivation Of rubber trees on
land that is not worth ten cents an acre
can be encouraged by exempting the
land from taxation for Gods sake do
it," he remarked. 1t may be true that
certain growers on Oahu have pros

"Doctor" Wallach is destined to be
denied admission to the leper settle
ment or to experiment on the wards
of the Territory at Kalihi.
This decision was reached at spe-
cial meeting of the Board of Health
on Monday when the members debated
the proposition lchind closed doors. In
other words the Board has taken the
bit in its teeth, so to speak, and turn
ed it's back on the Legislature. Presi-
dent Pinkham had formulated com
munication in which he stated that the
Board would afford Wallach every OPP
portunity to try his salad oil and tar
remedy and that he would be paid six
dollars a day while he was proving
himself faker, but the Board thought
otherwise.
When the Board of Health went in
behind the door to think out plan
to throw out aWllach, President Pink
ham was left in the waiting room so
that he would not have to take a hand
in the game. His part was to look
wise and say nothing. And he did it
well. AT the meeting a committee of
two was appointed to draft letter
that would be good enough to hand to
the Legislature, some thing that would
answer the purpose and not ruffle the
feathers of the men who swear by
Wallach. 1t was to have double pur-
pose, too. 1t was to help the sensible
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1907-04-19

men of the Legislature, who opposed
the matter up to certain stage, and
then gave in to superior numbers on
account of the influence their action
would have ON the party at the next
election.
The committee appointed is composed
of men with more than an average
amount of horse sense and they have
drafted letter that will be submit
ted at a meeting of the Board of
Health tomorrow and will then he pre-
sented and read in both houses of the
Legislature. 1t sets forth the fact that
Wallach has never applied to the Board
for permission to practice medicine; he
has never demonstrated to the Board
that he can, or ever has cured leprosy
or anything else. That he is believed
to be a fraud in the medical line and
unfit to be given leave to practice in
this Territory and that if he is to be
given such permission it must be after
he has proven to the regularly appoint
ed medical examiners that he has the
knowledge required by the law.
The committee is Attorney General
Peters and DIR. James r. Wayson, both
men of opinions and ready to express
them under almost any circumstances.
1t is not stated whether copy of the
etter will be handed to Wallach but
rs he has no official acquaintance with
he Board in this case he will probably
lot be so honored.
