efficiently and quietly what is being
done by the warship patrol--and not
by the police.
That will be another step toward
Federal control of things In the City
and County of Honolulu.
II will not come unless our own
officials show themselves TO be UNI
able to cope with the situation. But
make up your mind to one thing.
There will be no clubbing over the
matter II the ineficicncy of the local
officers is established.
Honolulu is In the position where 1t
has a wonderfully good opportunity
to make good In local self govern
mcnt. But 1t must make good The
army and navy are not beggars at
our doors to beseech favors, nor do
they domineer. But they can't be bat
ter around or made the victims of in
competence. Also bear In mind that
the sole interest In Honolulu and
oahu of great number of mainland
citizens Is the service II renders the
nation as a military headquarters.

FOR the PEOPLE.

II should always be borne in mind
that the Sanitation campaign now go-
ing forward is primarily in the inter-
ests of the poor people.
There Is no other way to figure it,
though the petty street-corner agi-
tators may strive to make It appear
differently.
Carried to the conclusion that will
eventually be reached, this campaign
means a house In place of u
shack for the poor man, and
the rent the same price or
lower; u cottage In place of u ten
ement. II means street where n
soggy alley is the only passageway
to and from home. II means light
and air and health in place of mists
from boys, smells so thick you can
cut them. and consequent sickness
and death.
So don't be misled by the man who
tells you that the Federal sanitarians
don't know their business or that the
sanitation campaigners are not work
ing for the common good.

hibits will be as complete as they
can be made. Silver medals, cups,

the "old hand" at the business.
These exhibits of poultry are Won
derful educators for the public, and
show what great strides are being
made in the improvement of the
breeds In the islands. There will also
be some fancy birds on show that are
