ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
PROTEST TO GOVERNOR.

nv co y Wv ENINOh.
Hon Walter F. Frear, Governor Of
Hawaii:
Dear Sir-As a citizen of the
United States and a resident and tax
payer of Honolulu, | most earnestly
protest against yesterdays order of
the Board of Health in regard to cut
ting down banana plants.
To yourself and to those similarly
situated, the sacrifice of a few ba-
mana plants means little; to hundreds
of others it means much; and to some
it is giving up their all. In my eX-
perience, the banana is almost the
only nOurishng food that can be cas-
lily grown here Cutting down the be-
mana plants means that many little
children who are now often hungry
will have still less to eat.
And will it do any good? To the
best of my knowledge not a single
mosquito has ever been bred about
one of my banana plants, and no care
full observer will believe that one in
ten thousand of Honolulu's mosQIi
toes comes from bananas.
The Board of Healths senseless or.
der is several degrees sworse than
highway robbery, and equally unjus-
titiable They say that it treats every
one alike, which is not true. The
great burden falls on the poor and
helpless, Chinese, Japanese, Portu.
guese and Hawaiians.
No one, not even the United States
government, has any right to take
private property without paying its
full value. If we, the people OF Homo,
lulu, are not a gang of most contemp-
tible robbers, we will pay these poor
people for the plants destroyed.
AS a means of doing so, let ME sug-
gest that We again treat everybody
alike and confiscate all the diamonds
in the city to pay for the banana
plants destroyed
, There would be fully as much jus
LITIGATION for it-"everyone would be
treated alike and no one would have
:, any right to complain it would
not be so utterly contemplate as to
take from the Door the little which
they have.
The owners of the diamonds would
not starye. Respectfully yours,
WALTER THURTELL.

SPRAY VS.. AXE.


Editor Star: 4 1t seems to me this
is another case of locking up the
stable after the horse has run away
this cutting down the banana before
giving anybody a chance of saving
them. The Board of Health will nat
urally say we did not think of it be-
fore but now it is too late, we must
wipe out bananas at any cost. Could
they not have got from the Expert
ment station something that if spray
ed on the bananas, would kill mos
mana plants. The mosquito only
breeds in the crotch of the leaves
when the water lies in the plant. Do
they think the sprayed liquid would
run away leaving the water and the
mosquito eggs still there? Shame!
They claim the rich and the poor suf-
fer the same No statement was ever
so falsely made. Take for instance
the poor Portuguese, Chinese, Japa-
nese or native Hawaiian who earns
from 81 to $3.50 a day, having wife
and family with an average of five
children. who for breakfast gives the
children mush or rice and a couple
of bananas, for lunch going to school,
a couple of pieces of bread and butter
and few bananas, will not these
suffer? How about the rich? Will
their families go hungry for the want
of a banana or two?
What would it cost the Board Of
Health for fifty sprayers and the form.
ula to send around among the poor
owners of banana patches? Certainly
not fraction of what is being eX-
pended to have the trees cut down,
If there is nothing that will kill the
eggs of mosquitoes in trees but cut
ting them down | have no more to
say. hut | still believe it is a crying
shame. S. H. WEBB.
