WIRELESS LEGISLATION

Legislation dealing with wireless
telegraphy is probably more vital to
the people of Hawaii than in any
other place in the civilized world, as
we depend exclusively on the wire
less for inter-island telegraphic com
munication.
People of the mainland care little
whether opposing wireless telegraph
companies set up stations on the
shore and indulge in the pastime of
putting one another out of business.
Wireless Is with them more or less
Of a plOything and used only for COM
muuication with ships at sea. In la
wall wireless interruption means ISL
and isolation.
Unlike women and the wire tel
cgraph, 1t is impossible for two sets
of wireless stations to talk at the
same time. An independent station
could lie erected on the shore of any
island in this Territory and put every
other station out of business.
! That anyone would be SO foolish
as to attempt this seems improbable.
Timely legislation will prevent the
possibility of wireless war that
could accomplish no possible good
and would greatly interfere with the
business of the various islands.
There has been some talk of Ma
tlonal laws to control wireless. The
Atlantic Fleet, for instance, was un.
able to make itself heard on the At
lantic Coast on account of the multi
} tude of wireless stations "butting-in'
and interfering with official mes
sages But Congress moves slowly
Hawaii was the pioneer in wireless
for commercial purposes and It SHOULD
e also pave the way for regulations that
will effectively protect the airlinei
of communication, without creating
monopoly.

when the question of arriving at
compromise in regard to the con-
firmation of the Mayors appointees
as road supervisor was first preached,
one of the conditions of the majority
Of the Board was mo playing poll
tics to the detriment of the service. 4"
The question of keeping those men
who had faithfully performed their
duty was brought up, and Wilson Is
said to have promised that he would
make no changes without good rea-
sons.
When the report of the Road SUI
pervisor's actions was first brought
to the Board, Supervisor Quinn, the
chairman of the Road Committee,
called Wilson to task and asked him
why he had violated his promise.
THE men did not come to work
when they heard that had been con-
flrmed," Wilson is alleged to have
responded.
Quinn then went after the dis
charged workmen and asked them
what they meant by kicking" at be-
ing let out, when they in reality had
quit. They answered that Wilson
had sent them word that their sery-
Ices were no longer needed.
1t is In the stables that the most
noticeable changes have been made.
There is just one of the old men still
there, and he is said to have been
left because some man had to be re-

worked, and which animals belonged
to certain teams. e.
Quinn is a horseman before any

RECALL OF PUBLIC OFFICERS.

A few years ago the recall" of
public officers elected by the people
was branded as socialstic, populis-
tic, and opposed to all the tenets of
American faith.
The city of Los Angeles has just
proved that the right of the voters to
recall an Official who has signally
failed in his duty Is a mighty good
antidote for evil government. Mayor
Harper has resigned rather than face
the recall exposure and vote.
A Coast exchange makes the very
pertinent comment that before the re-
call was introduced public officers
forgot that they were the servants Of
the people, chosen by them to execute
the laws or to legislate or administer
public offices. And so they did pref
ty generally as they pleased. And
10 matter how loudly the people or
the newspaper might complain, they
followed their own inclinations, rath-
er than the desires of the people.
1t is quite evident that in resign
ing in the face of threatened expo
sure in the newspapers, Harper had
something to conceal, as guiltless
official would not under any consid-
GRAFTON resign under fire.
Thus has been demonstrated the
value of the principle that those who
choose officials may also discharge
them, the same as private persons,
But weapon such as the recall
should he used circumspectly and
with great caution, for II might be-
come weapon OF reprisal In the
hands Of dlsgruntled persons, For
tunately, although people are prone

without question, there Is small dan

conduct ON the part of their public
officials, and they are not likely to
invoke 50 drastic a remedy as the re-
cali without ample justification, That
they were justified AZ Los Angeles
seems 10 be borne out by the evil

1t Was Not Intended to Protect

makers.
UNKNOWN MEMBER is
BLAMED FOR JOKER"
Market Hunters, as Usual. Are
Setting Up Howl of
Starvation.

Special to The Tribune.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 30.-Con.
sternation has been created among the
hunters of Wyoming by the discovery
that the last legislature passed a law
absolutely prohibiting the killing of
elk until 1912. and possibly until 1915,
the law being in conflict with itself on
that point The "elk Joker" was
slipped into the game bill during the
closing hours Of the session, and not
until the compilation Of the session
laws was begun was it discovered.
Since then the state officers have been
endeavoring to solve some method of
getting around the "ioker,'' as it is
not desired that a three to five years
close season on elk be maintained, but
it now appears that the law must stand
and the hunting Of elk be prevented
The Objectionable clause in the game
bill is as follows: Moose and ante.
lopc protected. Section 25-It shall be
unlawful for any person or persons to
Kill any antelope until the open sea-
son for other game animals in 1915
when only one antelope may be killed
any person hunting locally, or 10 kill
any elk or mountain sheep until the
| open season for other game animals in
| 1912, when only one male moose may be
killed by any one person hunting le-
gally, or to kill any elk or any mountain
! sheep in any part of the state except
IN Fremont county, Uinta county, Car.
bon county and that part of Big Horn
county and Park county west of the Big
Horn river, until the open season on
! game animals in 1915,'
1t was the intention of the legisla-
! ture TO protect antelope, moose anc
mountain sheep by a closed season until
1912, but there was no intention to so
protect elk, and the discovery that the
"clk joker had been slipped into the
bill caused astonishment. Who was re.
sponsblc for the ''ioker," whether 9
member of the house or of the senate
has not been discovered.
The law in It's present form means
! that d large number Of professional
guides and camp outfitters, who have
mado a speciality of guiding and outfit
ing hunting parties will be deprived OF
their source of revenue until 1912, and
that the state will annually forfeit
many thousands of dollars heretofore
collected for elk hunting licenses. I'm
der the new law deer is the only big
game animals that may be killed dur.
! ing the open season.
