FATE Of BAND
UP TO BOARD
Supervisors Refer Request for
Increase of Pay to Commit
tee For Consideration.

The fate of the Hawaiian band is
now up to the public expenditures
committee of the new Board of Sill
pervisors. A communication from
Bandmaster Berger, submitting the
schedule of increase in salaries that
he thinks will be sufficient to hold
the band together, was received by
the board last night and referred to
that committee.
simultaneously the board received
the resolutions passed several weeks
ago bv the Hawaii Promotion Com
mittee, urging the encouragement OF
the band.
The new supervisors have already
declared themselves in favor of in
creasing the salaries of the band
men, and it is expected that the com
mittee will report fayorably on the
matter.
Captain Berger said in part
I'VE have in the past also lost a
great many of our good musicians
and singers, who have gone to the
mainland of the United States, at
tracted by much better pay than in
the government band in Hawaii mel,
A number of the remaining good mu
sicians of the Hawaiian band have
given notice that they will leave our
band if their pay is not increased,
as they think it is due to them to be
fairly compensated for their ability
and for their many years of faithful
service.
THE members of the band are not
asking for charity, but for justice,
For many years they have played ~
the people of Hawaii nei in their jov
and in their sorrow. 1t is not the
intention that, should this honorable
board grant an increase of pay, a
musician should receive the higher
salary unless he plays his instrument
perfectly, and of this the bandmas-
ter should be the proper judge, AMI
no politics should be allowed to in
terfere.
at is very difficult to train and
instruct new Hawaiian musicians, as
there is very little time for this or
for long rehearsals on account of the
many public services required. The
public services Of late have very
much increased, averaging almost
two a day. The present scale of pay
and suggested new schedule are as

@Did it ever occur to Mr.. Lightfoot
9at there is another phase of this
Nuestion that he has not considered.
This efficient teacher is the product
4#f the Americanization process of the
public school system Of the United
states that has taken in the boys and
girls from every nation and race on
aearth and turned them out capable,
worthy, and in every sense patriotic
Americans
Z, Now, what about the outrage com
mitted against the public school sys-
tem of our country by the person who
SAYS that a woman American born
and Anne rican educated cannot teach
because she comes from Japanese
parentage?
Prejudice is a peculiar thing. There
are some people in some portions of
the country who will not allow their
Rildren to attend public school be-
use the teacher is a Roman Cath
JIG, others who keep their children
ut of public school because the
acher happens to be a Protestant.

The MAYOR And The
SUPERVISORS.

| Just what reason there is for rep
tesenting the Republican Supervis-
ors as making all the trouble while
! the Mayor and his followers are the
good boys of the city administration,
does not yet appear on the surface
Thus far the business of the city
Supervisors has been conducted in q
manner suggesting that the men
elected by the people to do the work
and spend the money of the taXpay-
ers, have eVinced an interest in the
efficiency as well as the personality
Of the officers for whom they will be
lheld responsible.
Should the Supervisors do other
wise, they would be dereict in their
duty. There is no earthly reason
why they should not withhold their
sanction of the Mayors appointees
for more mature deliberatiOn. There
may be some very good reasons why
they should not approve some of these
Iappointees
On the other hand, we find vir-
| tual threat reported as having gone
forth from the Mayors office that if
the candidates Of the Mayors political
faith are not accepted by the Board,
he may refuse to reappoint certain Of
|ticers of the Republican faith whose
deficiency has been demonstrated by
years Of excellent service.
Republican differences in the
Board of Supervisors have apparent
.ly been Strengthened out in manner
that will promote the welfare of the
public.
Why should the Mayor now block
the work of the Republican Supervis-
ors by insisting on the appointment
of men simply because they belong
to his party.
Don't put the cart before the horse
by assuming that the Mayor is the
government of the city, and all those
not agreeing with him and his advis-
ers are delaying the wheels of prog
Tess.

take over the property of the company,
which now furnishes the water sup
ply. There is a good deal Of unrest
in Keol1uk on the water proposition
In fact there has been for years. Four
or five years ago new franchise was
given the company with life Of ten
years. The thought of the council and
the people was that a reduction OF
about 20 per cent for the consumers
had been secured. The effect of the
contract when carried out to the letter
was according to the informed on the
subject, the reverse. The result has
been constant protest. Undoubtedly
the company is to blame for this un-
rest. Every technical advantage un-
der the contract was taken advantage
of by the company. and many consum-
ers have been compelled to pay more
for water than under the old contract.
If there is. sufficient dissatisfaction to
make the CITY condemn the property
and take 1T over there is question
whether water can be supplied and
will be supplied at less cost than is
furnished by the company now. The
wise thing for Keokuk will be to re-
ject any proposition submitted by the
company now owning the works,
