THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW


As is generally known warning
was given the widest possible public
city of the intent 10 hold to account
the election crooks and the iudI>i-
duals who would transgress the law
al the Democratic primary January
23rd.
To nullify this warning Governor
Sanders announced his intrrprrta-
ton of the law, applying to the No-
iers who would seek a Commissioners
or clerk OF the election to help in
marking their ticket, before voting.
Notwithstanding they are moi Hitter
ates.
Tt would seem that under this con-
struction Of the law as suggested by
Governor Sanders that a number of
such voters in New Orleans, not il
literate have called on some Of the
commissioners and clerks Of the
election to assist them in marking
/ their tickets. For such Offensc a
score or more such voters have been
arrested and are being held for
prosecution.
II is through this scheme that
voter could comply with his pro-
mise to vote as he had agreed or
promised.
The law designs to protect the
secrecy of the ballot, but this in
tent becomes a mockery when the
voter, not an illiterate may be as
sisted in preparing his ballot.
Since the primary of January %,
there has interviewed in the interest
of the law breakers a sentiment of
clemency. One of these sentimental
lists is Hon. Edgar H. Farrar. who
until recently was one Of the cN-
tremest of the radicals for vigorous
prosecution of all such offenders.
In this contention some Of the
leaders of the Good Government
League have been drawn into a tan
gle which is regretable.
In this issue we should bear in
mind that ii is not the purpose Of
law to Cypress nor to be the med
ium for vengeance but if a plain
-y.aw is-5o be SET aside simply on a
plea or sentiment which ballot box
suffers and election frauds do not
appreciate how will il be possible
to enforce the law in the interests
Of honesty and fairness at elections.
tt the election crooks or the indi-
yiduals who deliberately disregarded
the law which applies to the secrecy
Of the ballot, are To be excused after
they have perpetuated their offence,
what is The use of having any law
which instead OF safeguarding the
sacredness of the ballot encourages
dishonesty and thieving and
schemes which defeat honest and
fair elections. Lei the law be en-
forced impartially and fairly.
The issue as it concerns the citi-.
zen of New Orleans is vital Against
the rule ring machine is arrayed
the Good Government League whose
members are directing their efforts
to the liberation Of their city from
the domination of the Bosses.
II the election crooks and their
law breakers are not held to ac-
count for their disregard of law in
the January % primary will these
not be embroidered to greater crimes
at elections in the future and espec-
tally when the contests will arise
between the ring rule machine and
the citizens of New Orleans at the
municipal election Of this year.

NEW RULES AND REGULATIONS
REGARDING MOSQUITO PEST

This morning a new set of regula.
lions was sent to Governor Frear for
his approval The rules and regula-
tions refer to the operation of the
health laws as regards the extermina-
ton of the mosquito.
Some radical changes are suggest
ed. The most important one is the
proposal that section 1 be amended
or, rather, altogether changed, so as
to apply all the rules to the district
contained in the area within five
miles of the harbor of Honolulu,
The law read before that the regu-
lations should only apply to the fol-
lowing described areas in the district
of Honolulu: The entire area within
one mile of the harbor of Honolulu,
and all areas within $50 feet of any
building, within Ave miles of the har-
Dor of Honolulu.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-02-21

lawful to have, keep, maintain or per-
init on any such area, any cistern,
tank. we'll or other receptacle of sim
liar water containing character, the
words rice or taro patch" have been
inserted. That is the meat of the
whole regulation, and together with
the amendment that enlarges the area
to five miles, makes the regulation a
blanket one.

Health meets at $3.50 o'clock the new

CHINESE BANANA
MEN IN A BOX

While the new ruling of the board
of agriculture, establishing a fruit in
spection for all products shipped out
of this port to the Coast, was a well
come measure to those growers who
have kept their fields free from pests
and also to the shippers who have
had to pay freight on bad shipments,
it has not been so kindly received by
the small growers, whose fields are
infected with banana scale beyond
hope and who have contracts with
local shipping men. About Waikiki
most of the banana growers are ori-
entails who have contracts in their pos
session which oblige the shippers to
take all marketable bananas of
their hands, Unfortunately these con
tracts do not mention where the goods

Mahuka Site
Jury Drawn

The trial of the Mahuka site case
did not go on this morning as sched-
uled but was postponed until ten
o'clock Friday morning at the request
of the respondents. 1t is understood
that they desire time to prepare GER
tain pleadings.
A jury to try the case was secured
yesterday afternoon after strenuous
work. 1t consists of the following:
Ferdinand Hons, Samuel c. Hard
esty, Charles A. Bidinger, Joseph
Cockett, Benjamin Sammons, William
Klein, John De Fries, St. C. Sayres,
Theo. Wolff, Joseph W Fernandez,
Philip C. Wong and ~ B. Young.
Both the attorneys for the Govern
ment and those for the two respond
ents were extremely careful in Sc
lecting the jury and several peremp-
tory challenges were exercised.
1t is expected that the trial Of each
of the cases will be long drawn out,
as much of the evidence is document
airy and has to be extracted from the
books and records of the respondents
running back for ten years.

Auspicious Start
of Festivities of
Carnival Week

"Pinafore" was prettily staged and
performed, with real marine setting
emphasized by the active cooperation
of three United States cruisers in the
way of accessory effects, last night
on board the old bark Mohican. For
auditorium the outer end of the Ala
kea wharf was used, an immense
grandstand with convenient aiiles
sloping up to the second floor Of the
shed. Between the ship and wharf
was a clear water passage fifteen or
twenty yards wide, through which the
resplendent procession of decorated
boats in the water carnival, passed
between acts of the opera. 1t was
an agreeable surprise, to all who
might have had misgiyings on that
score, that the acoustics of such an
arrangement proved first rate. While
probably the distance and open air
compelled some extra exertion of the
performers, there was no difficulty or
the part of the audience to catch both
sung and spoken lines The effect oi
an offshore breeze was apparently
quite neutralized by the shelter of the

dience who felt terror over the ap-
parent imminence of a break were not
aware that the current was switched
off during the passage of the nodlla.
Throughout the whole evening all
of the cruisers were ablaze with sill
very light from white bulbs, from
stem to stern and from bulwarks to
mastheads. They made a spectacle
in itself worth travelling far to see.
Away off on the Kakaako beach front,
in front of the lighthouses, before the
procession of boats started, was an
indescribably beautiful illumination
1t was in all colors of the spectrum
and came from the illuminated flotilla
of prize-seekers, also from steamers
and buildings along the shoreline men,
toned. Some of the decorated boats
were moving about, thus imparting a
kaleidoscope character to the already
gorgeous enough scene of light and
color. There were fairy-land shapes
of flaming masts, crosses, trees,
castles, globes, pyramids, ETC., in hues
outdoing the rainbow for variety.

huge building. Some considerable
credit, however, must be given to the
leading performers for a quality of
enunciation not always found with
amateurs.
For some time before the perform
ance started at $3.50, prompt, the three
cruisers moored in the naval docks
swept the sky with their searchlights,
holding them steady at intervals so
as to lay great shafts of light slant
ing athwart the celestial view, which
ending in large discs at unknown
heights produced the effect of moons
veiled in thin vapor One of the
cruisers directed a beam of light upon
the stage throughout, making a mag
nifcent spotlight for the players to
bask, strut and dance in. By the way
this searchlight prevented danger of
casualty from a live wire in the in
termi6sion, when two or three Japa-
nese sampans. one after another
caught the feed wires from shore to
ship and only lively work on board

CAMPBELL KNOWS NOTHING
Of HILO. .ELECTRIC RATES

"At Hilo the county has water

is excellent. Why should water rights
be handed over for nothing?"

ing that he thought a mistake had
been made regarding the wording Of
the story that came from Hilo Su-
pervisors, not superintendent of pub
lie works, should have been used,

The sailors from the flagship Cali.

drawn up on the naval dock in full
marching orders with the colors.
They were practically no raggedness
about their movements, and their APP

lot of interest.
The miniature cruiser is practically
finished now, and formidable she
looks with her miniature guns (some
of them of wood frowning down on
the passersby, She is painted the

looks fine. She is as nearly as pos
slble a replica of the California, the
birdcage mast, the wireless aerials,
the boats, all are there. She is now
resting on the big autobus, and no
doubt she will be as interesting an
exhibit as any in the procession.
Fleet matters are quiet. There is
no news with regard to future move
ments, and so far where the West
Virginia has gone has not been given
out, officially at all events.

When seen this morning in regard
to the Hilo story, to the effect that
the superintendent of public works
may be the person to fix the rates
for the county electric lighting, Mars
ton Campbell said that he thought
that a mistake had been made in
printing the word superintendent. He
says that supervisors" is the word
that should have been used.
81 have not read that portion of the
franchise that alludes to the electric
light. think mistake in the word
ing exists. The supervisors are the
people who should control the price
of the county lighting. In fact think
that all public utilities should be
owned by the county.
