THE RACE ISSUE RAISED

Delegate Kuhio and his political managers
and associates have come into the open at last in
plain endeayor to defeat the cause of good gov
ernment in Honolulu.
The call for the Kuhio caucus eralds the is
snance Of instructions to the followers of Kuhio,
Andrews, ct al, to down the responsible and in
telligent candidates and to place in nomination
next week only those whos.will take program
rom the delegate, Andrews, ct al.
1t is an open secret, brazen boast of the
Kuhio camp, that aside from a few favored
''ha0Ies'i most of whom will do the bidding of
the Andrews management, there is to be voting
for straight Hawaiian'' ticket The race is

NEED FOR 4 FISH COMMISSIONER

That Hawaii's waters are rapidly being
robbed Of their almost uncountable wealth in
fish is fact little realized now but Increasingly
Ipparent. In another column a correspondent
today cabs attention to this thoroughly alarm
ing state Of affairs and urges that some action
be taken to guard the seas finny denizens from
the present shortsghted and INSCRIPTIONS
|ofays Of market fishermen
The action needed is an extension of the pro-
.tction Of the department of commerce and labor
through its bureau Of fisheries, and in this case
hat means the appointment. Of q federal fish
and game commissioner who shall reside in Ha
vail and furnish the vigilance and the ability
needed to stop the present dynamiting of the
Waters, the taking Of fish hardly larger than
mirnows, the taking of fish in spawning season
md the taking Of crabs, HOLSTERS and the like in
The spawning season. So long as there are no
federal fishing laws enforced here, Hawaii as a.
territory can do comparatively little to protect
the fish The last Legislature passed, after con-
silrrable wrangling, a law to protect mullet, but
Il ilas been broken repeatedly, as a matter of
common knowledge, while as to any general
LEGAL restrictions on fishing either within or
without the tlree-mile limit in these waters,
here are none and no present way of enforcing
sneh as already are on the federal statute books.
It doesn't particularly matter whether the
fish commissioner for Hawaii is named from
Hawaii or the mainland, except that a local man
would know South Sea fish the better and would
he able to check the present inroads of market
Fishermen the quicker The point is to get such
8 commissioner and to get him busy.

HAWAIps FISHERIES IN DANGER.

September IL, 1912.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-It has been a great satisfac-
ton to many people to see that you
in a recent editorial have taken up
the question of our fisheries in such
an able manner, and will ask you,
in furtherance of this policy, to give
publication to the following remarks
on this subject:
1t is to be regretted that according
to the judgment Of experts the local
fisheries are seriously threatened with
even total extinction If drastic meas
ures are not adopted for. the preser-
walton of the fisheries IN Hawaiian
waters. Through the courtesy of
Prof. John Thompson, Of the Kane
hameha school and Mr.. George C, Al
len, who has made a special study of
fish life and has had practical expe-
rience in the Alaskan fisheries, the in
spectors of the local fishmarket have
gained valuable knowledge and prac-
tical information which should prove
Of the greatest advantage to the fish
cries in our local waters. 1t is the
opinion of these experts, who have
fully sounded warning, that If illicit
fishing 1.-THE use of under. sized nets,
giant powder and throw-hets1 is not
stopped, the rapid diminution or even
extinction of food fish VIII be only a
question of time. The experts mem
toned have thoroughly demonstrated
to the inspectors of the market, who
highly appreciate their cooperation,
the manner in which 20 designate the
sexes of the fishes and thereby point
out the cause of protection for the
fishes which should be preserved. The
experts have proven their qualifiea
ton by pointing out the sex of fish Of
fered for sale. demonstrating their
theory by opening the fish and show
ing the spawn in the female and the
melt in the male. The practical
knowledge includes the crab, which
now has become a scarcity here.
through the indiscrimtnate taking
from our waters of the. female crab
ready to drop their spawn which nat
uralIy has resulted in the well-known
fact that no crabs of edible size are
ever offered in the market for sale.
As matter of fact. every kamaaina
knows that crabs can be raised local.
ly which measure more than six
inches across the back, and the same
holds good as to our Holsters. Spawn
ing Holsters are being brought to our
market with life in the eggs and nat
urally that food or delicacy is daily
being depleted. The federal law else
where provides that no net less than
two iIlchs or one inch square can be
used. Yet this law is not enforced
here, to the great detriment of our
fisheries. The cause of this gloomy
outlook is primarily due to the fail
ure on the part of the federal author
tiles to appoint a qualified game and
fish commissioner whose duty it
should be to. designate what fish
should be caught and when, and what,
seasons should be closed. The county
market inspectors would then be in a
position to prevent the sale and arrest
the parties offering for sale fish
which under such "a law would be pro-
hibited. The same remarks may ap-

THE DEMOCRATIC BOAST

Although the record of the Democratic House
on the navy appropriation bill pretty thoroughly
exposed to the country its insncrity in the mat
ter of economy, it is not generally known that
the House made particularly ingIoriogs record
in the matter of perfecting legislation. Most of
its time was taken up in pickering on bills which
made a political appeal to the voters.
The Republican leader, James r. Mann, puts
the case against the House Democrats as fol-
lows:

resentatiyes went BY the board. The main work in
the House the Democratic side has been
slant Boosting of what they going to do the
next session.
Il said last December that this session of Con-
gress would last longer and do less than other
regular session of recent years My forecast proved
correct This session OF Congress has enacted laws
fewer in number and of less Importance than any
session in recent years The laws we have passed
are in the main of little Importance and generally
local in character. The-Panama canal bill is the
Of greatest Importance and in the main that was a
bill prepred by me in a prior Congress.
THE claimed reformation of the rules has proven
farce That the House has been inefficient is
shown by the fact that more than 200 Senate bills
which passed. the Senate remain Enacted on in the
House.
1T is constant boast that the Democrats at this
session passed law providing for publicity of
paign contributions. Such is not the fact They
only passed an amendment to the law which had pre-
viously been passed by Republican House, and the
principal part is one relating primary campaign
expenses and that was considered in the law by the
Republicans of the House against the protest of the
Democratic side of the House. Somewhat similar is
the bill relating to eight labor which is only
an amendment Of previous law and only made a
slight change in the provisions of the original act
practically all the laws of any importance passed
at this session were either bills prepared in pre-
yious Congress and left for lack Of time to
slider else they bills prepared by officials in
President Tafts administration.
"The Democrats were forced to agree to parcels
post, which only short time ago they insisted they
would not agree to- They are entitled to no credit
for it. Outside of money expended for the Panama
canal, which cannot be considered as ordinary ex-
penses the appropriations for this session of Con-
gress exceed those for the last Republican session
Not only is this So but the Democrats have appro
priated money in many places where it was pure
trayagance and where the money was not needed
and have refused to make appropriations where they
