NEW INSPECTORS
ON PROBATION

There will be no meeting of the
Board of Health this afternoon. The
regular gathering has been postponed
till Monday next There are only a
few routine matters to come up then
and, chief among them, will be the
opening of some bids for supplies
for the Kalihi hospital
The four men who were appointed
by the county supervisors for posi-
tions on the board of health inspec-
torialS staff will be on probation for
two months. They will then have to
pass an, examination in field and Oil
work and, if they make good, will be
retained on the staff.
Some comment has been made on
the fact that a couple of the men who
passed the examinations with high
credits were not given jobs. Chair
man Kruger, of the health committee,
said this morning, that he knew this,
but that his committee had the power
to appoint any man who passed with
seventy-five or more percentage. One
man Is not yet a full-hedged Ameri-
can citizen, and Kruger says that
men who are not voters had to be
dropped from the police force lately
Other considerations were that two
men who were appointed had no other
Jobs, while the two men who passed
higher, but were not appointed, had
good positions already with other con-
Germs.

REVENUE PEOPLE
WELCOME TIPS

1--WE are always anxious to receive
any information that might enable our
department to apprehend and obtain
the conviction of any person who is
violating the internal revenue law"
declared Collector Cottrill this morn
ing.
81 was deeply interested in the
statement of the Reverend Mr.. Wad-
man, as published in the morning pa
per, and have asked that gentleman
to meet me and give me any informa-
ton that he may have on the subject
of Illicit stills.
GAS said before, we are only too
grateful for information. With our
small staff it is Impossible to police
the whole of Hawaii. I hope to get
some information from Mr.. Wadman
in the near future"
Other people who read the article,
in which Mr.. Wadman states that
there is a lot of illicit distilling going
on, claim that the manufacture of
"swipes" is carried on, and that there
is no law against such a practice, if
none of the stuff is sold and the IL
quor is all consumed by the maker.

SOME Recommendations MADE
BY EXPERT ACCOUNTANT FIELD

Having submitted schedules for a
central accounting bureau for the mu-
nicipality, H. Gooding Field, the ex-
pert employed by the chamber of com
merce to examine the affairs of the
City and County of Honolulb pro-
ceeds in his report to say:
Cost Records.
In order to strengthen the central
accounting bureau, as above, carbon
copy of cost records, furnished month
ly, from each department should be
filed with the auditor. These cost
sheets would not represent a separate
accounting system, but would add a
series of simple records to those al
ready existing, primarily to determ-
inc accurate costs, and, through the
knowledge so gained, the highest
grade of efficiency would be made
possible. These cost records would
give complete information as to the
cost of performing a certain piece of
work, or furnishing a certain service.
A comparison of the files in the audi.
tors office, from year to year, would
show clearly whether a department
was advancing or retrograding in
efficiency. The cost records should
be submitted from month to month

yard and thence to Liliha street. Sew
enteen cesspools are said to exist
there and the installation of sewers
is recommended.
AS to clean streets the commission
says that Money spent economically
for clean streets brings bountiful re-
turns in health to the community"
The total number of deaths in Ho-
nolulu from 1876 to 1911 is reported
to have been 26,144. That many of
these were preventable is the opinion
of the commissioners and they go into
figures to show the actual loss, from
a monetary standpoint, to the terri
tory.
The disposal of sewage is spoken
of and the practice of dumping the
filth outside the harbor is deplored.
That the sewage is washed back on to
the beaches, is the assertion made in
the report.
free system of garbage is advo.

way in which the city can be kept

Word has been received by o. E.
Weinland, assistant superintendent of
the California Board of Agriculture,
that large shipment of sweet pota-
toes, presumably from the Hawaiian
Islands, had been rejected by the au-
thorities at San Francisco.
Owing to the ambiguous terms of
the letter, which was signed by o. e.
Bremner, deputy commissioner Of the
California Board of Entomology, the
local authorities were unable to tell
whether the sweet potatoes had been
shipped from Honolulu or not.

Will Open Alews Lots.

Mr. Dodge stated that one of the
first matters that will be taken up by
Engineer Gere, who becomes actively
connected with tie Bishop Estate on
the 18th inst. will be in opening up
a road from School street to join the
Alewa Heights road, and in the lay
ing out of a block of lots adjoining
the Alewa tract on the makai side.
These lots will be some of the most
desirable for residence purposes in
the city, having a magnificent view,
all the modern conveniences, and
much nearer the business portion Of
the city than any other hill property.
According to Mr.. Dodge the lots
VIII possibly be sold at auction.

Governor Carter stated that the
commission had agreed that the best
way to deal with the wet land farm
ing problem, in Honolulu, would be to
start out with a system of licensing.
This they hold will at least settle def
nitely the area of land to be dealt
with, and at the same time through
the license fee help to pay the extra
burden of inspection and supervision
which such property makes necessary.

said, had started out with the idea of

FULL OF EVAS|0NS'
WILSON'S UTTERANcEs ON THE
TARIFF SHOW IGNORANCE OR
LACK OF COURAGE.
AIMS TO PLEASE ALL GROUPS
Democratic Candidates Pronounce
ments Differ From One Another
notwithstanding the Way Open
for Retreat in Case Of Necessity.

Governor Wilson's second important
utterance on the tariff is entirely diff
ferent from his first. Many will think
II no Improvement. In speech at a
farmers fair he told his hearers that
whereas they own big house." they
have let the other fellow live in IT,"
His advice was that they proceed tn
break into their own house and live in
IT," 1t is an interesting fact that on this
occasion he, before speaking, tore his
manuscript to "shreds." In his speech
of acceptance, he urged that those who
would revise the tariff should go about
II as men who understand what they
are doing" But that speech was care
fully read word for word.
What does Mr.. Wilson mean by his
new utterance? The tariff. says the
candidate. "smothers us" and must
be thrown of. Elsewhere 1t Is like a
great dam" hemming In national
energy, and must be broken through.
How to throw on the tariff, or how
to break through" it, and the means
to adopt in either case are sighted
over. II this is Mr.. Wilson's own
philosophy on the tariff question, seri-
ously meant and seriously applied, II
/ must point to a wholly reckless point
/ of view. Compared with the equally
vague but comfortably conservative
platitudes of the earlier speech, 1,
seems alarming.
There is little field for purely meta

a resort to 1t at least suggests a lacl

haps the candidate talks conserva

equally meaningless words when h
wishes to arouse and alarm. But tn
result Is much the same. He Is no
affording the light and leading o.
the issue which the country and
above all. his own party had a RICH
to expect.
There Is no excuse for this kind c
evasion. For three years congress ha
been dealing in this sort of polite;

fictitious measures intended to emba

UNCERTAIN ON THE TARIFF
Roosevelt Adopts Taft's Revision
Method and Makes Vague Prom
ises About Control Of Business.

On the tariff Colonel Roosevelt Is
vague and uncertain. He adopts, al
most without the change Of a line or
a syllable, President Taft's method OF
revision only after. expert, non-parti-
san investigation, and then bids for
popular support on the pretense that
he will In some way not defined see
that the protection to be afforded to
our industries shall be equitably d.
yided between the employer and the
employed. This is to be done, APP
parently. by some sort of government
regulation and control OF the business
of the country. but the colonels own
past and present relations with the
steel trust and the harvester trust
fail to be convincing as to the entire
impartiality of any cS<trol In which
he might have a hand. His awakened
interest in the tariff is so sudden and
is In such marked contrast to his atti-
tude during the seven years when he
might have influenced the action of a
Republican congress. that the thought
full public will be justified in looking
askance at promises SO plainly direct
ed to catch gudgeons.
So also the student of contempt
rary economies will fail to find in the
colonels appeal for votes any guiding
light on the vital subject OF currency
reform. We want. of course, sound
and flexible currency. We want finan-
cial control wrested from Wall
street." we want the best money sys-
TEN In the world-all these are pri-
mary facts not In dispute, but all that
the colonel is able to say with any
clarity Is that he does not approve OF
all the recommendations OF the
monetary commission. though he
thinks the reports of that commission
are so valuable that they ought TO be
more widely disseminated among the
people II the colonel's promises are
like his performances when he had the
opportunity to accomplish something
they are quite as hollow and untrust
worthy as are the planks Of the OLE
parties in which he places so llttl,
faith. The old parties with all theil
faults have at least a record o
! achievement. For these the colone
would substitute new promises, ignor
: ing his own record of broken pledges
, How he can honestly believe in hi
! own sincerity is one of the puzzle
which will perplex the future politica
n historian of the United States.
