VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

discover if it would or woull not;
coming from any one who has not
made such a study it is only an OK
preston of belief. The statement that
probably this insect was not known
or classified prior to 1901 SHOWS a
want Of knowledge of the subject.
These may be only academic Ques-
lions, so | will turn to more practical
ones. make a very conservative
estimate when l state that out of
every thousand mosquitoes born in
Honolulu only one of these is born in
banana trees. | therefore contend
that in fighting mosquitoes we should
concentrate nine hundred and ninety
nine parts Of our energy on the 6reel-
ing places outside banana trees, AMI
reserve only one part for banana
trees. The greatest waste in this
world is waste of human energy, and
it is the duty of science to reduce tits
waste as much as possible. If a return
should be made showing how much
energy Expressed in dollars or hours
Of work. has been expended over cut
ting and clearing bananas and how
much in attacking other breeding
places, it would be seen my argument
is not far wrong, and that there has
been a great waste of energy.
If all breeding places are 20 be
abolished then every tree or plant
that is capable of holding half on
ounce of water will have to be eradi.
Gated this will include algaroba, royal
palm, and many other beautiful trees
and plants Entomologists have in
sisted that this campaign is not one
of three months activity, and then
We have finished with mosquitoes, for
mosquitoes have never been utterly
eXterminated over any large area. II
we could entirely eXterminate mos
quitoes we could also do the same
with insects troubling our crops, but
all we hope to do in these cases is tC
reduce their numbers. BY properly
directed efforts, and a system of con
| tinuOus efforts we can reduce ON
chances of yellow fever (even IL s
,scutellaris is capable of carrying iD
and other diseases, and also make If
in Honolulu more comfortable.
Our thanks are due to all thos'
whose efforts are directed to mi,
end, whether they be doctors, onto
mologists, or non-scientifc residents.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ONE IN 1000 IN BANANAS.


Editor Star: AS statements made
by entomologists to the Anti-MosQuito
Campaign committee have been sup
pressed, passed over as of only
academic value or denied, and the ad-
vice of entomologists is no longer re-
quested, ! beg to be allowed to make
few statements as to chronological
facts.
1t is easy to see that no entomol-
ogist has been consulted by the pub
LEFTY portion of the committee, or so
many mistakes would not have been
made. Yesterday DR.. Hobby, before
the Teachers Association, stated that
there was still doubt whether the early
experiments with mosquitoes and vel
low fever in the West Indies were
made with S. calopus or S. scutellaris.
The following are facts up to 1910,
and | have seen no statement since
then to upset them.
The geographical distribution Of S.
scutellaris is as follows: British In,
dia, Upper Burma, Siam, Penang,
Perak, Selangor, Singapore, Christmas
Island, Amboina, North Borneo, Sara,
wax, Celebes, New Guinea, China
Hongkong, Formosa, Japan, Philippine
Islands, Fiji, Pitcairn Island, Sey
chelles, Mauritius and Hawaii
Thus we see that this species is con
fined to the West and South Pacific
and certain portions Of the Indian
ocean, and is not known in the West
Indies. There can therefore be nc
doubt as to which of these two mos
quitoes were used in the early expert
ments.
Again, Dr. Hobby stated that il
those days the difference between
these mosquitoes was not recognized
. / must point out that 5. scute!lml
was described by Walker i'm 1859
CuleX fasciata in 1908, by Fabricius
and the same insect was redescribec
by Meigen in 1918, under the nam
Of CuleX calopus. These dates al
years before the experiments in III
West Indies.
Again, DR.. Hobby sneered at M
efforts of entomologists to find $ e.
lopus in the mountains, saying hat
only existed in the town, forgettin
that the first recorded specimens q
this species in the Hawaiian island
was taken, in 1892, by DR.. Perkins
fifteen hundred feet up in tho Kaal
mountains.
The statement that There is n
physical or scientific reason to b,
lieve that S. scutellaris can or canno
carry yellow fever would he rash
made by one who had made dee
study Of the physiology Of rhe ingec
and had not actually experimental {

ADJUTANT KLUGE-Yes, l am

campaign. l don't know when / will
be returning to my regular position.
J.. L. McCANDLESS-The banana
order has destroyed one-eighth of the
food supply Of Oahu. To say that
nine-tenths or one-tenth of the people
like it is an affront to common sense
w. r. POPE-One teacher is sup
posed to look after thirty-fve children
and no more. Should there be thirty
six children in a class, some people
would perhaps like an extra teacher
for the one unit.
b. F. DILLINGHAM-Leaving out
the question of the danger of yellow
fever, consider the present mosquito
war to be of the greatest Importance.
In other words it will be worth $10,-
100000 to Honolulu should the present
effort result in the determination of
the mosquito.
DIR. BLUE-It is easy to tell the
different species of mosquito wrig.

that the new building on upper Mar

February or March.
The election Of last week has left
the laboring element rather dazed, so
completely and effectively have the
labor officials been voted out of office
There is scarcely a man-ia jack left any
where, Andrew Gallagher being the
only supervisor of strong labor ten
denotes and he is one of the really big
men in the labor world, one who IS
generally respected wherever he is
known. One Of the ironies of the cam
paign was the elimination of Michael
Casey from office. He fell far below
the required number of votes to put
him in the running for supervisor, yet
few short years ago he was one of
the strongest men in San Francisco.
Casey is a typical example of the
shrewd Irishman who gained popular
ity by which he lifted himself into
power, but who was not shrewd
enough not to misuse the power vest
ed in him. He tried to run affairs
with too high a hand and has suffered
the penalty.
Casey came into prominence some
years ago when he led the teamsters'
strike in San Francisco and gave the
employers and citizens a fight that
they will not soon forget A born o.
ganizer he fought well, and so effec-
lively that he gained the admiration
of even his enemies, and in the reor-
ganization of city government after
the Schmitz-Ruef regime he was given
prominent positions in the city gov
eminent and finally became head of
the Public Works Department. Had
he attended to business he would
probably have been as strong as ever,
but he turned his energies into politi-
cal activies of a low order and has
been thrown over by the men who
formerly voted for him.
The amusing part of the ousting of
Mccarthy is his brazen effrontery in
claiming that the people were fighting
Union Labor rather than Mccarthy
when as a matter of fact Rolph would
not have run up the vote he got had
not the Union Labor vote in grearei
part repudiated Mccarthy and his fol
lowers. Mccarthy in an attempt tC
maintain his position in labor councils
claims that he sacrificed himself fol
Union Labor and it's principals, int
b mating that he could have been elect
ed had he accepted the proposition,
capital made to him, but he preferre,
b to go down to defeat rather than sac
rifce his principals. Union Labor, n
least the best elements of it, repudiat
ed Mccarthy, preferring a new cit,
government to the labor government
q as expressed in Mccarthy And it i
fairly safe prophecy to make tina
Union Labor as a whole will be be-
ter looked after, that the laboring MAJ
: will be more prosperous under III
= Rolph administration than he eve
: was with Mccarthy in the saddle.
