The United States is sponsor for
many wonderful systems, among which
may be mentioned the postoffice sys-
TEN, the national bank system, the
irrigation system and the public
school system which latter stands not
only at the head Of all institutions or
systems of the. United States but of
the world. Hk
The continental United States is
properly proud of its public school
system, and while we (Hawaii) can
not say as much at present | think
the scheme promulgated by the
School Fund Commission will. or
ought to, meet with the unqualified
approval of the recently elected Leg
islature. Such being the case it will
remove the only blot from fair Ha-
wall.

A feature of the cleanup is that
il is directly in line with the cam
paign against the mosquito. This dis
trict is one of the most favored of
mosquito breeding-pAces.
After every rain water stands in
50 many pools that we have to put
mosquito fish in at once, and even
this cannot stop them from breeding y

Every excursion of investigators
into the low-lying Palama and Kalihi
sections shows conditions terrible in
their possibilities. 1t is now certain
that an organized plan of action will
be put up to the legislators, for the
health and public works authorities
declare that the danger cannot be
overlooked and that the public vel
fare demands remedial legislation

RECLAIMING HONOLULU BOG.
HOLES.

Reclamation of the insantary lands
of the Fifth District is good But the
work should not stop there
The movement that is being father
ed by Senator Judd should include a
broad and complete reclamation
policy that will carry as far as the
rice swamps and duck ponds of
Waikiki.
Honolulu ought to be big enough
by this time for its people to under
stand that they can no longer enjoy
the distinction of having swamps and
barn yards at the back door and still
merit the standing of a progressive
and beautiful town 'st5s'
Scientific men have told US that the
greatest menace of Honolulu's future
is not the price of sugar or the condi-
ton of the labor market, but no less
an old acquaintance and common
nuisance than the mosquito.
How does Honolulu expect to keep
healthy and danger free, in so far as
the mosquito is concerned, by maxi
ing the individual householders OF
certain residential districts keep
their places clean of old cans and
standing water, when within a stones
throw are swamps that breed mo-
squitOes by the millions.
Mind you, we would not have the
householder stopped from his clean
ing up process. We would have it
go further and strike at the place
that turns out the pests by the whole
sale. Il
There is every reason why the pro-
gram that has been started in the
name of the Fifth District should in
clude a general scheme of develop
ment that will make all the bog holes
of Honolulu blossom with something

DIRECT PRIMARY AND REPRESENTATION.
(By Governor Foss of Massachusetts

She Massachusetts, must tolerate
no public servant who arrogates to
himself the prerogatives of govern
ment, or who turns his back to the
people at the beck of special interests
or the agents--it exists for the peo-
pie. 1t belongs to the people.
That, gentlemen, is the ideal. Now,
what are the conditions today? Gov
eminent of the people is coming to be
only name. Representatives of the
monopolistic interests have ursurped
the prerogatives of the people. They
have acquired too great control, and
have too largely shaped the policy of
federal and State affairs
This usurpation of power can only
be ended by the people taking into
their own hands the direction and
control of their government
The first step is to abolish the boss
and all his agencies; the caucus, the
nominating convention and all politi-
cal machinery which intervenes be-
tween the people and their govern
ment.
All candidates for public office
without exception must be chosen by
the people through the direct pri-
mary. Only by this means can they
be held accountable. No public ser.
want must have any other master than
the people.
Establish the direct primary, choose
your own public servants without ref
erence to any machine or faction,
make them accountable only to yours
selves, and popular government will
be established. fa& 4s~
To the direct primary must be join
ed the power of recall; SO that any
public servant who proves recreant
to his trust may be Immediately dis
missed

DECAPITATIONS
NOW THREATENED

A keen-edged sword hangs by but
slender thread in the office of the
Honolulu road department.
The implement of decapitation is
said to have been adjusted to hair
trigger tension by an action of the
Republican members of the City and
County Board of Supervisors.
The sharp blade of the sword is
destined to fall upon the necks of R.
W. Cathcart, J. A. Lawelawe and H.
n. Crabbe, according to the whisper
ed rumor that is waited about city
hall corridors this morning.
The contemplated dropping of Of
fcial heads in Road Supervisor John
Wilson'S department. is said to be due
to a rigid investigation made by the
road committee as to the methods of
procedure persued in that depart
ment. 1t is claimed by the Super
visors that there is considerable
lost motion" to be found there. Will
son declares that to operate the de-
partment with fewer men spells
failure
The report was current this morn
ing that Wilson had resigned Asked
concerning the story that had gained
circulation, the road supervisors said
i am still on deck, and have heard
nothing that would indicate any
change having been made.

Important as these steps are, it is
of far greater importance that the
people keep their power over legisla-
ton through the initiative and the
referendum.
Under the conditions which exist
today, as | see them, these are the
only true safeguards of representa-
tive government
There can be no valid objection to
these measures if we believe in the
capacity, and therefore the right of
the people to govern themselves.
If the people are competent to eX-
ertise the power of the franchise,
then they are competent to advise
their public servants and recall them
if they are not true to their trust.
The referendum provides that an
important legislative measure shall
be submitted to the people upon their
request before it becomes law
The initiative provides that the peo-
pie themselves may prepare and pass
a constitutional amendment or an i'm
portant law if the Legislature persist
emily refuses to enact it.
Both these measures have great in
fluence for good, not so much in the
actual exercise of the power by the
people as in the potentially of that
power. Its very existence, and the rea-
lization that it may be exercised, rem
ders useless the lobbyist, and multi
ties the great resources which the
special interests have employed for
improperly affecting legislation t
Public servants who deem that they
represent themselves and not theirT
constituents naturally object to these
measures! and yet a measure which
is contrary to the will of the majority
has no jurisdiction.

a condition of affairs in an American
territory, the richest per capita in the
world?
1t is to be hoped that the scheme
proposed by the School Fund Commits
sion is the beginning of the end of
public school inefficiency in Hawaii
and that every child in these islands,
irrespective of color, creed or nation
atty, will be provided with a seat and
under the supervision of a teacher
whose ability is valued higher in dol
lars and cents than that of a cane
field laborer, and that the supply of

4 PASS THE ROADsls.BILLS.

There is no good reason why House
Files Nos. 259 and 260 should not
pass the senate without unnecessary
delay. These are the road bills that
passed the house practically unani-
mously on the End inst. House File
No. 260 provides for: the. submission
of an amendment to the constitution
that will enable the legislature to levy
a one-mill state tax for road and
bridge purposes, and House File No.
259 is the general road bill which pro-
vides for a corps of competent engi-
neers and road-builders to supervise
the work of road Improvement
throughout the state, and it also pro-
vides for the levying of one-fourth of
mill state road tax. Every friend
of good roads in the state favors the
enactment of these bills into laws.
Prompt action should be taken by the
senate. If it is known that these bills
will become laws it will influence the
action of towns at the annual town
meetings-people will willingly vote
money for the improvement of roads
if they know that the money will be
honestly and intelligently expended.
House File No. 259 provides the
machinery for proper supervision
without expense to the towns. If that
bill becomes law the services of a
competent road-builder will be at the
disposal of every town in the state.
Another reason why the senate should
act promptly is that it will be no easy
matter to secure the right kind of men
to do the supervising, and the high
way commission should be given all
the time possible to secure these men
and be in readiness to commence the
campaign for better roads in Mime
sofa by May l. The time for dallying
is past. Action, prompt action is de-
manded. We have had enough talk
about lettering our highways. It is
time to act. One mile of good road is
worth more than a ton of literature on
the subject. The member of the legis-
lature who, under any pretence,
attempts to hinder or retard good
roads legislation will sign his own
political death warrant. . r.
