DEMOCRATS AND The MOSQUITO CAMPAIGN

one Of the curiOsitics of the present political
campaign in Hawaii is the attitude Of the Dem
0rratic candidates on the mosquito crusade car
r4I ON a few months ago The Republican par
" had about as much to do with that crusade
as the man nathr moon. The policy of cutting
down the banana trees in order to wage war
against the yelOW-fever mosquito was suggest
cd, adopted, initiated and carried out by the vol
mntGer citizens committee, body of excellent
men who did sterling work at a critical period
in the city's history. The courts declared that
The board of health had no power To cut down
the banana trees. But medical experts had
given their honest opinion that the action was
a measure toward safety, and the work was hon
cstly carried out
1t was not Republican policy; it was not
primarily the action of the board of supervisors,
of the board of health, of any city, county or
territorial official or set of officials. But a cry
against the cutting of the banana trees makes
good campaign material, and the Democrats
have seized eagerly upon the issue Some Of the
Democratic candidates very likely are not aware
of the facts, but the party leaders and the lead
ing candidates know better, and if they wish to
be entirely honest with the voters, they will not
lend their Endorsement to such silly and preju-
diced untruths.

DISGORGING DIX

In the nomination of William SulZer for GOV
crnor Of New York by the Democratic conven-
ton recently there is food for political thought
Murphy influences New York Democracy
still, and Murphy undoubtedly preferred Dix,
the present governor. Some months ago Mur-
ply let it be known that he intended to see that
Dix was renOminated.
But the people of New York have rebelIed
against the ''slick boss and the New York Dem
Ocrats refused to do his bidding on the govern
orship. They believed that Dix had been his
plant tool, and the recent police exposures in
New York city strengthened that belief Dxs
failure to force an investigation could have re-
suited from nothing else but the knowledge that
an investigation would trace the dirty trail of
graft right back to the doors of Tammany Hall
and to Murphy, who sits enthroned therein.
So Murphy threw Dix over The storm of
public indignation alarmed the astute manipu-
latOr of men and measures. Whether Murphy
could have controlled the convention to the ex-
tent of forcing Dix on New York again is doubt
full. SuIzer was named, at any rate.
The power of the bosses is passing the cOun-
try over. The people are learning. They are
learning from sad experience that to swallow
candidates simply because their nomination has
been dictated by the party bosses invites a nau-
seation of decent stomachs to the point of dis
gorging.

"REARsT'S fORGERIES"'

Golfers Weekly in its latest issue does what
i'm sporting parlance is described as ''taking a
fall out Of William r. Hearst, who, by the
way, is one of Golfers pet enemies.
The enterprsing weekly has delved into Mr..
Hearsts recent exposures" of Standard Oil let
ters which have figured conspieuouslE in the
campaign fund Investigations. Fhese letters
were published and Photographic fac SMILES
given in Hearst's Magazine and, it was declared,
showed direct and probably corrupt connection
between John ID. Archbold, president of Stand
Grosvenor, the late Mark Hanna and other
prominent Republicans.
Now Golfers declares these published letters
are forgeries and proceeds to prove it in a most
businesslike and unanswerable way. The basis
of the proof is that the letters were written on
peenliar make of typewriter that was not manu-
featured until some years after 1904, the date
of most of the letters. Hence the letters are not
bona fide. 1t is a well-knOwn fact that every
typewriter and every make of typewriter has
easily-detected ,pecularities Of writing, and Col
ier's has secured plenty of evidence to prove the
letters fefgeries, and says so in way that in
vites libel suits were it not the truth.
The queerest part of the exposure is, how
ever, that Golfers declares Mr.. Hearst has in
his possession real letters and records just as
discriminating as those he has faxed and the
question naturally arises, Why has he tried to
palm off f0rgeries when he could have produced
documents just as sensational and far more able
to stand the limelight?

AID CLUB TALKS ON
MUNICIPAL PUBLICITY

Members of the Honolulu AID Club
held a live-wire session today at the
Palm Cafe restaurant, where Manager
Jungclaus' made special preparation
for the clubs Thursday luncheon.
H. Gooding Field read a paper on
Municipal Publicity" which will be
published by the Star-Bulletin in a
later issue. This paper was followed
by a discussion of the municipal jour
nal proposed by the present Board
of Supervisors, which Mr.. Field stated
he did not consider at all necessary
to efficient publicity in the affairs of
this city.
J. G. Cohen, who is one of the char
ter members of the club, stated that
he intends to prove what advertising
will do in promoting a political cam
paign. He believes in advertising
and intends to. use both newspaper
space and circulars very freely in the
he is conducting.

SANE TREATMENT FOR THE INSANE

One of the most important subjects that has
been taken up at the International Congress of
Hygiene and Demography, at Washington,
which DIR. ]. s. B. Pratt and other Hawaiian
medical experts are attending has been that of
treatment of the insane According to the fig
ures presented there were 1S4,712 insane pa
tients in American hospitals last year. and they
cost the people of the United States $50 900 900
in twelve months. More than half of this insan-
ity is preyentable, it is contendel, and the con-
gress discussed means to prevent it.
The cost of maintenance for the unfortunate
inmates of institutions for the insane exacts a
tax of slightly less than one dollar for every
adult male in the United States.
"Non-restraint" is the slogan of the commit
tee on insanity which has established branches
or state committees in more than half the states
1t is the newest propaganda in all medicine say
it's promoters The movement is less than five
Years old.

CAMPBELL VS.. STACKABLE


Campbell says he Immediately call
ed up Stackable by phone and asked
him by what law, regulation or any
other provision the United States had
the right to say whether or not any
pipe line, street car line or other pub
tic utility should be laid along the
public thoroughfares of Honolulu,
even though they do happen to pass
in front of a Federal building. He
asserts the collector Of customs did
not cite any regulation bearing on
the matter, but did cite the case of
the Rapid Transit Company, which,
he said, sought the permission of the
Secretary of the Treasury before lay
ing its line of tracks on Fort street.
Superintendent Campbell then told
the customs official that the depart
ment would proceed to lay the oil
pipe line, and If he, StackabIe, did
not deem it proper, he might bring
the matter to the attention of the u
s. district attorney and take such &C
ton in law as seems to fit the case.
U. S. District Attorney Breckons,
asked about the affair today, said he
had not heard of it before, but could
not recall any Federal law covering
the situation.

commission should begin. When the
plans for the new organization
assume definite form later this matter
will doubtless be taken up and discus
sed in detail by the harbor commits
sion. and recommendations may then
be made by us
Favor More Control.
Commissioners Wakefield and Nc
Carthy expressed views decidedly in
favor of the harbor commissions con-
troll of the private wharves.
I'VE already regulate the charges at
the public wharves, and to a certain
extent, those at certain private
wharves," said Mr.. Wakefield. This
is in line with our regular duty, and
if a public utilities commission is
formed, it will not and in natural rea-
son should not take this responsibility
from the harbor commission.
AS We are IN close touch with
these matters We would be better
able, because of our acquaintance
with conditions, to attend to all
wharfage regulations. l am certain
the coming Legislature will be asked
to give the board of harbor commits
sioners this power, and there is little
doubt that that body will accede to
such request"
Commissioner Wakefield, requested
recently by the harbor commission to
prepare figures showing the wharf sit
uation in the Territory, has prepared
his report in part, and it contains
some interesting figures.
One of the most important of these
is that the. Territory owns Wharves
now worth approximately 100000,
that it is paying out about $4,000 an
nually for repairs, upkeep and inter
est alone, and that the income de-
rived from wharfage charges at these
does not make them anywhere near
seif-supporting.
Advocates Higher Rates.
AS result, Mr.. Wakefield intends
recommending shortly that wharfage
rates at the public piers be raised
materially, so that the Territory will
not be continually losing money on
the proposition.
Lindsay's Opinion.
The opinion of Attorney General
Alex Lindsay, submitted to the board
of harbor commissioners yesterday,
in which he decides that under the
present Territorial law that body has
no power to control rates charged the
public at private wharves, is publish
ed in full below:
'1n re the question submitted for
my opinion on October 3rd, viz: as
to the authority of the Board, if any,
over all landings Cloth public and
private) and further, as to the rights
of the Board to fix rates of dockage,
wharfage and other rates upon all
public and private wharves and land
ings in the Territory of Hawaii |
beg to say:
There can be no doubt that the
Board of Harbor Commissioners has
authority over all public landings in
the Territory and may fix rates of
dockage, wharfage and other rates
upon same, for such authirty is eX-
pressly granted by Act 1863, Session
Laws 1911. The question, however,
that l apprehend most interests the
Board is whether the Board has all.

1t would seem under the authOri-
ties that where person uses his
property, e.g., wharf, in such man
ner as TO affect the public interest,
the Legislature may to a reasonable
extent regulate the charges.
AT present. however, ! am of the
opinion that the Legislature has not
authorized the Board of Harbor Com
missiOners to fix or regulate charges
made by owners of private wharves or
landings which are used in business
Of a quasi-public nature. The power

sation for the storage of, and the du-
ties and powers of carriers, shippers
and consignees in and to any such
freight, goods, wares and merchandise
in and upon any landing, dock or
public wharf within the Territory is
not, in. my opinion, broad enough to
include privately-owned wharves."
