MISREPRESENTATION

The kind of Misrepresentation that Hawai-
too often receives and the kind of misrepresen-
tatien that should be cOmbated with every pow
er of publicity that Hawaii possesses, Is con-
tanned i'm a letter received this week by local
businessman from Philadelphia firm. The
firm wrote to him.
Owe regret to note from the information con-
tanned in the daily press that several eases Of
bubonc plague have appeared in your country
This was followed by an advertisement of Il
disnfectant.
The true facts about plague in Hawaii are
easily prOcurable from an unimpeachable source,
the report of the United States Public Health
Service for September This report says:
During the week ended August ,, 1912 there
were examined at Hio 54S rats and mongoOse,
and at HonOkaa ,431 During the week ended

BOOMERANGIhG DOWSETT

Encouraging SpIittick"t voting by means of
an irresponsible and non-wprSt mtativr ">traw
vote" is a dangerous kind Of politics 10 play,
ard just now this kind Of politics is political
boomerang
The Republican senatorial ticket is far and
away the best offered to the voters, and it is the
kind Of tirket that the STAR-BIILETIN gladly
advises the voters to take "straight'. Yet the
morning paper, while supporting this senatorial
Ticket, is perhaps unconsci0usly helping to ere
ate Il most mischievous situation.
There is. such thing as making a little tin
god Of one absorbing idea and this split-ticket
idea is too likely To become the little tin god.
Now in the estimation of this paper the valid
reason for refusing to support political candl-
date is that the candidate is either personally
unfit for office or that he is by virtue of certain
business or other affiliations which are mani
testify against community interest or progress,
tied np SO that he cannot put forward his sin
ceerst efforts OH behalf of all the people. Act
ing on this earnest belief, the STARBUILETIN's
support in this campaign is cordially given Il"
men who measure up to the standard of personal
efficiency and ability to serve the people, anu
ON no other basis does this paper give It's sup
port. ..@ 49,,
In fostering the split,ticket idea generally
without regard to it's effects on worthy candi
dates, the first result is likely to be defeat OF
very rood men. For instance, on the Republic
an senatorial ticket is A. S. KaleiOpu, an intelll
gent, active, experienced Hawaiian, well worth
supporting by every voter in the Third senator
iaI district Yet the encouragement of this split
ticket fetch is bound to result in increasing
haole support for Coke or Writ, probably Coke,
on the Democratic ticket and a loss OF haole sup
port for Kaleiopu Against Coke personally the
STAR BULLETIN has no fight to make. He is pop
ular around town.
But even his most ardent supporters will
hardly claim him superior to the Republican
candidates and the Democratic senatorial ticket
as a whole stands no comparison with that OF
the Republicans ....-~...
Now the practical result of the splitticket ir-
ritation is going to be a loss for Kaleiopu among
the haoIes, where he is probably not so well
known as Coke But the haoles are Outnum'
beretl two to one in the vote on this island, and
any splitting of the ticket on Kaleiopu in the
haola preeincts will be terrific boomerang on
the haoie candidates in the heayily-voting Ra,
waiian precincts 1T would probably mean the
defeat of Dowsett, which would be a real mis-
fortune for the next senate.
A vote for Coke is vote against DoWsett,
and those who support Dowsett should realize
it. An attack on Kaleiopu, even though unln-
territorial. is an attack on Dowsett, and it should
be stopped.

Sheriff Jarrett has gone on political tour
of the island, leaving his department in charge
of Deputy Rose. However, that is nothing ex-
ceptional for "Our Bill' He often leaves the
department to be run by his deputies; in fact,
Rose may Justly be regarded as the brains of the
police administration. 1t is no disparagement
ito Charles Coster, the Republican nominee for
deputy sheriff, to say that he has hard fight
on his hands to beat Rose. Coster would make
an excellent deputy sheriff, as he is making an
excellent head of the garbage department, but
Rose has shown considerably more efficiency
than Jarrett and considerably more idea of what
fitness for duty constitutes

n FEW YORK, May 27.-Manager
Harry Wolverton. of the Yam
KEGS, pulled a mighty fine stroke
Of business when he landed Catcher
Street from the Washington club. Scot
| fers were inclined to disagr with such
statement especially when the vet
eran backstop got away to a bad start
this spring But, somehow, since Ed
Sweeney came to terms with the New
York management a change for the
better has come over the only sea
soned receiver with the Yanks up to
the time Of Sweeney's appearance on
the scene.
Sweeney was just the tonic neces-
sary for Streets greatest good. Far be
it from any intent to intimate that
Street had loafed while the club was at
his tender mercy He was a sick man
all spring-so sick that he often should
fhave been in bed when he was sporting
the chest protector and the mitt He
had just commenced to find himself
when Sweeney bobbed up. But prob
ably he would not have found himself
quickly but for his rival veterans re-
turn.
Competition Great Thing.
They tell us that competition is the
soul of trade The same holds good in
athletic endeavor, especially so in the
professional ranks. Fortunate, indeed,
is the big league manager who is we'll
stocked with capable substitutes Look
at McGraws Giants. He's out there

tails all the time he'll have to keep on
travelling.
Sweeney and street should easily
prove the greatest catching combina-
ton in the big show. Each is a strap
ping big fellow. capable of catching
practically the entire schedule of games
If fortunate enough to escape injury.
Street can hold any pitcher. For years
he teamed with Walter Johnson. who
packs the fastest ball of the age. He
has also had lots Of experience with
spitball receiving. Sweeney is the only
catcher in the country who can prop-
erly handle Russell Ford's freak deliv-
cry The pair worked together since
they were kids in the bushes" They
are so familiar with each other that
often this star battery works without
signs
Hot Friendly Rivalry.
The season promises to develop a
great fight in friendly rivalry between
Street and Sweeney and the harder
they tussle the better off will they and
the club be. Sweeney had one slight
advantage in the fact that he will be
assigned with Russell Ford, the pitch
ing star Yet, Street has a qualifca-
ton that offsets this. at least.
Street is the greatest catcher OF the
age on a high lift, He never muffs
one Anything that he has time to get
under he can hold. whether it be a tall
fly to the infield or towering foul back
near the stand. He sets himself right
under the ball. holding his glove over
his head And anything that hits his
mitt sticks, you may bet on that.

Here is. Ban Johnson's statement in
regard to the Cobb case
After a careful investigation in
to the causes and circumstances of
the encounter between Player
Cobb and Claude Tucker, a spec
tator at the New York grounds
on May Is, I find that direct re-
sponsibillty for the unfortunate
occurrence rests upon the play
er.
Evidence in the form of afr
davits clearly shows that the play
er was the first to employ vicious
language in replying to a taunt-
ing remark of the spectator
Cobb did not seek redress by
an appeal to the umpire, but took
the law into his own hands His
language and conduct were high
ly censurable
