spent $107,792 in his campaign, he
had little knowledge as to just how
1t was spent, except that it was not
used in violation of the law. The de-
tails, he said, he had left to his
campaign managers.

an item of $1,000 for postage.

Short and BIoodless.

LONDON, Oct 3-From present
appearances the Turko-Italian war
promises to be the shortest and most
bloodless war in history. Thus far
its distinguishing characteristics has
been the absence of fighting and with
Germany acting as peacemaker it may
be ended before fighting takes place.
It is concluded that no meditation
will be accepted by Italy until she has
accomplished the military occupation
of the Tripolian coast. After that ne
gotiations will be much easier and are
not unlikely to be unsuccessful, il
Turkey will accept money indemni-
ty for allowing italy to establish her
self in Tripoli as Great Britain did IN

No SHOTGUN FRUIT
QUARANTINE.

Honolulu is in duty bound to take
the initiative In preventing, so far as
ii may be able, the California fruit
men from going plumb crazy over the
Mediterranean fruit fly.
Extension of the plant quarantine
to the fresh pineapples from this Ter
ritory would be u clear case of re-
peating some of the ancient follies of
l"shot-gun'' guarantees perpetrated
when the people possessed less in
telligent idea of how to handle con-,
tagious diseases.
California should rid itself of the
idea that Hawaii is the only source of
contagiOn from the Mediterranean
fruit fly. While 1t is going daffy over
what may threaten from this port, It
seems to forget that It is in more or
less direct connection with Australia,
whence the fruit fly was probably
brought. In fact II Is possible that
the fly could have migrated to Homo
lulu via Vanvoucer and San Francisco.
Our good friends In California
should realize that we are as inter-
ested as they In holding the fruit fly
in check. There is no more good rea-
son however for barring all fresh
fruits and especially pineapples be-
cause of the presence of the fruit fly
on this island. than there would be
to refuse admission to passengers and
food products from the Orient because
that section OF the world reeks with
bubonic plague and cholera.
! There must be an intelligent method
for handling quarantine on fruit,
and we would respectfully suggest
that barring all fresh fruit is not an
Intelligent solution of that problem.
Honolulu can be depended upon to
meet the Culifornians more than half
way. But we cant be expected to fall
In with proposals that mean destruc-
tion to thriving business built up in
Simplifying the mainland demand for
the Hawaiian grown product.
