Constructive Criticism,

Criticism which merely tears down
and makes no effort to build anew
and build better is inexcusable. Such
a case is one in which the remedy is
worse than the disease. During the
past two days, the Pioneer has criti-
cised the manner in which the paved
streets are kept clean and the sand
streets watered. It therefore makes
the following suggestions:
1. The sprinkler should be kept
working every day except when the
streets are wet from rain.
2. AS long as the brushes on the
sweeper are worn and do ineffective
work, the streets should be cleaned
at least every other day and the
sweepings removed in the morning
before they have time to dry off and
again blow over the street and into
stores and Offices.
3. The council should at once
take steps to buy a compressed air
fusher. The city must come to one
sooner or later and with the added
problem of four more city blocks of
paving, it should get the benefit of
such f1usher at once. The mistake
of buying an antiquated sweeper was
costly, but the expense is being ad-
ed to each week by using it. The
brushes are already so worn that
they do not give good service.
4. AS soon as possible, the street
gang should be put to work shovel
ing sand off of cross walks so that
there will be an advantage in using
the walks instead of the center of
the street. The pile of dirt at the
corner of Fourth and Beltrami
should be removed at once.
5. A fire hose attached; to by
drant would make an excellent street
flusher and. would also. throw water
enough to clean the storm sewers of
the sand deposited in them by the
last rains. 49,.
During the past two, days i, the
streets have been sprinkled better
than at any time during the summer.
If the cleaning will be done oftener
and better, cause for complaint will
largely disappear. -.

WILSON HOLDIN' HIS OWN
Governor Spins a Yarn Waiting
for Baltimore News.

Sea Grit n. j, July 2s.-when the news
paper men called on Governor Wilson to-
night they were met with the query. What
is the latest news from Baltimore?"
You see" the Governor said. my friends
at Baltimore are working so hard TO nom
mate me that they apparently have not
found time TO call me up and tell me what
was going OH" Then the Governor spun
this yarn
THE situation al Baltimore tonight"
he said, when he learned the result Of the
NTH ballot, reminds me of story once
heard.
Two men were riding in an automobile
with certain town as their destination
when they met man in the roadway, How
far is 1t TO town. they asked. Twenty
miles the man replied.
They drove at a forty-nile gait for half
an hour and met another man. whom they
stopped and asked the same question.
Twenty miles was the reply. They repeat
ed this half an hour later. and for the
third time got the same reply.
well said one OF them 10 his com
panion, thank heaven. Jim. we're holdin'
our own ;"
The Governor spent the day IN his usual
quiet way, varying his daily routine only
by the substitution OF an automobile ride
for q round on the golf links. He took a
lively interest in the proceedings at Balti-
more. but apparently was unaffected by the
results Of the baloting. in strong contrast
TO his companions at the Little White
House who besiesed the telegraph office
for news from the convention. The Gov
ernor is not an early riser, 80 or 3 o'clock
being his usual time for getting up but this
morning he was UP at 6 80 o'cvlock.
II was rot Of his own volition, however,
for Jack" Mendelson, in charge OF the .ele-
graph corps. who had been sitting up all
night with an instrument TO his ear, routed
him out OF bed TO tell him tho result OF the
first ballot.
Governor Wilson also got into the
movies" to-day. Bright and early this
morning a corps Of moving picture men
camped on the lawn in front of the Gov
errors cottage and stayed there for two
hours making pictures Of the Governor, as
he and Mrs. " son chatted on the porch
and strolled on the lawn surrounded by
their three daughters, Margaret. Jessie
Woodrow and Eleanor.

Baltimore, June S.-Whcn the sun rose

In the Hobbies of the hotels charwomen
had swept into barrels piles of crumpled
posters and political handbills, fervid ap-
peals to Democracy to rise up and throttle

country on earth had gone TO the everlast-

everlasting servitude by the Republicans

In hotel corridors delegates wives, who
had sensibly abandoned the convention hall
when the long siege OF nominating oratory
began, TO get some sleep" before morn

guard over the doors behind which their
snoring husbands were recuperating their
powers for another siege.

DEATH STALKS ABROAD in
THE BARRACKS AT SCHOFIELD
CORPORAL KILLED AND CoMPAN-
ION HURT BY CAyE-IN ON
LEILEHUA PLAIN.

Death stalked through Schofeld Bar
racks yesterday forenoon and swung
his scythe with tragic results. One
troopers life was snuffed out in an
instant and another is lingering be-
tween life and death with the chances
against his recovery.
Corp. George Dickson, Troop /, Fifth
Cavalry, was killed under an embank-
ment in a gulch and companion had
his back broken and now lies in the
hospital awaiting the end. 1t was re-
ported from the cavalry post last night
that he was not expected to live
through the night.
Rumors reached the city yesterday
of many accidents and tragedies, and
in addition to those above enumerated
it was said that an infantryman had
been killed by walking in front of the
rifle pits while soldiers were shooting
at the targets. This rumor proved to
be untrue.
Corporal Dickson and a detail of
men were digging red clay dirt from
a bank in deep gulch on the north,
or Waialua side of the post I The
soldiers used picks and shovels and
had worked in quite distance. This
left an Overhang above them, which
suddenly gave way and buried Dick
son entirely and partially covered a
companion, Private Chaille. A third
man, Private Edwards, was caught in
the cave-in, but managed to extricate
himself from the mass without injury.
Help was soon at hand and the
bodies of the two men uncovered.
Dickson was found dead, while Chaille
was alive, but it was evident that his
back was broken.
Funeral services were held in the
post chapel, with Chaplain Pruden of
the Second Infantry, officiating. The
casket was then laid on an artillery
caisson, and escorted by the entire
Fifth Cavalry and band to the railroad
station, whence the body was shipped
to Honolulu on the afternoon train. 1t
will be embalmed and sent to the Uni
ted States for interment.
