WHY THE PEOPLE KICK.

Editor Star: 1t isn't so much the
value of banana tree that is caus'
ing friction between the household
ers and the mosquito fighters as it is
the dictatorial and arbitrary attitude
of the Spokesman of the Citizens
Committee.
There would be little complaint
about the cutting down of bananas as
an emergency measure if so much
were not heard of their having to be
cut down and of the pains and penal
ties that would follow refusal or re-
sistanCe.
As an American citizen l contend
that | and my fellow-citizens have
certain property rights which are
bound to be respected and that, if an
inspector is justified in coming into
my garden and destroying property
there. he would be equally justified il
entering my house and doing as he
wished with its contents.
Ones property rights cannot be dis
turbed without due process of law
and as the Citizens Committee ha'
no such process to back its actions
up with, it certainly behooves then
to proceed with more suaviter il
modo and less fortiter in re than the,
have started their campaign with.
As things are at present, the aver
age householder sees in the invasion
of his premises not a remedial healtl
measure, but an intrusion on persona
rights and liberty and if he has
spark of manhood in him, resents ii
Let the campaign be carried on
more along the lines of education an,
enlightenment than of compulsion.

FINDS NO WRIGcLERs.

Editor Star: In all the talk which
the officials have recently made about
mosquito breeding places, they have
not had a word to say about the loulu
palms Tor plants, perhaps) and the
tiger lilies.
After having made a personal eX
animation of some twenty-five banana
trees, pulling down leaf after leaf, i

not breeding places as the learned

thing, ants. Adult ants and their lar
vac were present in thousands, and |
believe the very presence of these
ants is proof positive that there could
be no mosquitoes breeding there.
But to return to the loulu and tiger
lilies Both of these plants form per-
feet containers of water, while the
banana at best forms only one-sided
container, which through the action of
the wind and sun is quickly dried.

WHAT ABOUT THIsY

Editor Star: | wonder if it is pos
sible that the police department of
this city is not aware of the fact
that for more than year past a
public nuisance of the nature of
disorderly house has existed, and still
exists, not far from the shadow of the
Central Union Church?
wonder if our police department
thinks the sound of popping corks,
banging piano, and ribald song is
music to the ears of our church-goers
when passing this place on their way
to and from the house of God.
l wonder why our police depart
ment has done nothing to stop this
nuisance when, as l am informed, it
has been called to its attention num-
Der of times.
If our police department is incap'
able of coping with this particular
nuisance, wonder if the editor of the
Star will repeat his splendid work of
several years ago when, under some
what similar circumstances, he ac-
complshed in one swoop what the
whole police department failed to do
in many months?

POOLING MOSQUITOES.

Editor Star: We can fool all the
mosquitoes all the time.
A mother mosquito will deposit her
eggs only in places where a supply OF
food is assured for the wrigg .ers.
Anyone can prove this by using two
glasses partly filled with clean water.
Can them A and b. Throw part OF
a roach into A, but keep b clean.
Place them side by side where the
mother mosquito can get to them. The
next morning you will find plenty Of
eggs in A, but none in b. You can
vary the experiment by placing sew
eral vessels of clean water near each
other, or we'll separated, for seyera.
nights.
In thus seeing to it that her young
ones will lie we'll provided with food,
the mother mosquito shows more in
telligence than many of us humans
show toward our children. Yet, in
spite of this superior intelligence Tor
INSTINCT, in an important detail OF
life, we can fool the mother mosquito
as follows:
Prepare several vessels of water
with pieces of roach in each. These
vessels should be placed about the
house, both outside and inside, so as
to be easily found by the mother mos
quito. Each will form a breeding
place for mosquitoes, and you will
find wrigglers in each-if the Board
of Health people have left any mother
mosquitoes to deposit eggs.

few small banana plants on the place.
He would take the inspector out and
show him that those bananas could
not possibly breed mosquitoes, and
vet. because there is an arbitrary rule
to that effect, the inspector would
have to order the plants cut down.
On the other hand in another and
perhaps a wetter section of the town
a man might have his garden overrun
with vegetation and, because his place
had no bananas on it, it would be left
in a condition to breed mosquitoes"
If an inspector shows a man that his
bananas are breeding mosquitoes,
very few will object to having them
cut down But if, on the other hand
the householder can show the inspec
| tor that there is no possible danger
of mosquitoes breeding in his band
mas, why should he be compelled to
cut them down, especially if there are
only a few of them and a reasonable
distance from the house?

GOING 10 EXTREMES.

Editor Star There is one thing
that is and has been notably charac-
teristic and conspicuous about all Ho-
noluu's efforts at sanitation, and that
is the momentary enthusiasm and
freshness of the methods employed by
the powers that be.
We have seen this in all our vari-
Gus efforts and especially in the
plague and rat campaigns and in the
rejuvenated mosquito campaign Of this
day
These campaigns have all and al
ways been inaugurated with a
shout and blare of trumpets, and have
1 been followed by a vigorous but rash
and sporadic execution of poorly con-
sidered and ill-advised plans.
This is the case with the present
senseless policy and order that all
banana trees be Unfortunately cut

out in the open or standing singly and
alone or where or how they be, SC

coNTRADIcTED BY EXPERIENCE

BY EXPERIENCE.
Editor Star: The theory that "a
mana trees breed day mosquitoes is
contradicted by the experience of
dozens of householders who have ba-
nanas growing on their premises, but
whose houses are free from day mos
quitoes. If it is a fact that mosQdi-
toes breed in the base of the banana
leaf, it must also be true that they will
breed in the base of a palm leaf
especially the leaf of the traveller
palm-yet no edict has gone forth
against palms. 1t is commonly known
that mosquitoes live in cane fields by

mitted in the very heart of resiIen-
tial districts at Makiki and PunahOp,
and no action seems to be taken
against those fields Is sugar cane

that are to receive special attention

elimination against the useful and
valuable banana is resented by many
