fearful Bill
Has Returned
Is Up to His Same Old
Game.

W. J. Coelho the fellow, who by
tluke got the nomination on the
Republican ticket three years ago
for the Senate and then squirmed
in Just little ahead of Bill White
in the race is again on Maui and
is trying to do politics again.
Coelho has been nicknamed
fearful Willie by the Adver
tiser. The name is not misapplied
provided one mas in mind Bill's
long suit when out for votes but if
any one either in Honolulu or any
other place thinks for moment
that he has a tear for even his best
friends when in distress let him
disabuse his mind OF any such an
idea.
While Coelho's crocodile tears at
the settlement are IA matter OF his.
tory it is noted that he had no tear
for good old Father Leonor when
he was on his death bed. Coelho
did not even 90 to see the Father
although he had done more for
Coelho than almost any one.
Coelho had no tear for Haleakala
while she lay on her death bed nor
for her fatherless children. They
were allowed by him to suffer for
food while he remained in an adj
joining block and in answer to her
dying appeal that he come and see,
her before she died he turned
deaf ear
Dying appeals have no effect on
fearful Willie. He is looking for
live electors from whom he can
extract vote. When he has an
opportunity at voter his flood of
tears are endless.

Rid the Town
Of Vagrant Dogs.

Editor Maui News:--
Many times in the. past have
been heard remarks from visitors
and local people with reference to
the number of sickly looking, bony
CANNES that hover around our
streets at all hours of the. day or
night.
At any hour OF the day, prin-
cipally on busy days, can be seen
hordes of these beasts on Market
street, especially around the corner
of Vineyard, where are located our
meat markets and fish stalls.
They are not only unsightIy and
dirty but are also dangerous to
passers by. Several reports have
been received of persons being at
tackled by infuriated dogs on the
streets.
Our dog catchers should get busy
and rid the town of the brutes. 1t
has been noticed by many that
when the dog-catcher comes around
he passes by the vagrant dogs and
captures clean pets, whose owners
will quickly pay the delinquent
tax and penalty.
There's a reason. For every dog
the catcher captures and its owner
pays the penalty, the dog man re-
ceives a commission There being
"nothing in it, for Mr.. Dog-Man in
capturing vagrants, why should he
take chances and receive a bite?
The authorities should see that
the officers capture the mean look
ing ours and destroy them. They
will then be doing a great deal to-
ward making Walluku the clean
and healthy town it should be.

Getting Rid Of the
Dead Beats on Maui

Editor Maui News:-
The question that mas been
bothering the business men OF all
Maui for years past is that OF ridd-
ing themselves of dead beats. in
other words, of doing away with
giving credit to people, who not
only are slow pay but refuse to
pay their just debts.
This query ha. been answered
by asking another question, viz:
"Why do you give them credit at
alp" which in turn some of our
business men answer by stating
that if they don't give them credit
some one else will, thus taking
chances in getting what is coming
to him.
One of our principal business
men suggested that "bIack list'
he formed on the island OF Maui
and extended throughout the whole
Territory The Merchants binding
themselves to refuse credict to all
men on the "black list would soon
force them to buy for cash, which
not only assures the storekeeper of
his money but gives him also more
profit.
Should the "list" extend through
out the Territory, the Honolulu,
Hawaii or Kauai branch would
notify the local people of any new
comer's standing and ability to
pay bills.
There is no reason why this
could not be done. 1t has been
stated by several people who have
had experience in the collecting
business that there are more dead
beats on the island of Maui than
