CEETERIRG CITY BEAUTIFUL ENERGIES

Apropos of Honolulu's coming Cleanup Day,
the following suggestions from the San Francis
co Newsletter will be found pertinent, even
though Honolulu ladies who are devoting their
city beautiful energies in other directions may
consider them impertinent:
sIs it necessary that modern cities should
have slums and streets in which rubbish is ac-
.cumulated?" This question was recently asked
( by the St Louis Globe Democrat
ssAs the Newsletter has repeatedly pointed
out, the litter which is permitted to blow around
in our city streets, both residential and business,
is disgrace to the city. 1t is more than that
it is disease-breeding nuisance and should be
stopped.
"Almost daily We read in our newspapers of
the activity of women's clubs in the neighbor-
hood of police courts, and the legislature. Com
mittees have been appointed, whose sole duty is
to be the careful watching of the administration
of justice.
ct is not the News-Letter's intention to at
tempt to minimize the amount of good which
can be accomplished by such activities. We do
not, wish to accuse the committees of msdirec-
ticn. of their energies But we dc wish to urge
upon the women of this city that they are neg
lecting other no less imperative duties in their
concern over the conduct Of our popularity APP

LEAVE OUT THE DANGER

Honolulu cannot be accused of overenthu
siasm on the Fourth Of July, but even slight
indulgence in the sport of fire-cracker throwing
has it's dangers.
The committee appointed by the mayor OF
New York to provide for ssafe and sane Fourth
Of july reported: at is practical because il
saves from destruction hundreds of thousands OF
dollars worth of property. 1t is humanitarian
because in three years it has saved in the United
States 416 lives and prevented 1891 serious in
juries to old and young people, compared with
the record of 1909. 1t is patriotic because in
place of death, mutilation of the body and de-
struction of property, which only savages are
supposed to inflict upon their enemies, it sup
plies historical exercises and instructive page
ants, with their coIIcomitants of music and illu-
limitations, to keep alive our national traditions,
and wholesome sports for the expression of
youthful spirits.
When, few years ago the agitation for a
Fourth without explosives was begun, there were
plenty of mouthy pseudo,patriots who declared
that to stop the use of fire-crackers was to curb
legitimate enthusiasm. But the steadily-grow-
ing death-roll, to which attention was drawn by
a few clearsighted newspapers, has turned the
tide of sentiment the other way The firecrack-
er, the miniature bomb and all the other small
but high-powered explosives should be relegated
to the cellar.
If there is any enthusiasm burning for ex-
preston, it may very wellbe turned to the chan
mel of decoration. Now is the time for the mer-
chant and householder to plan for display of
the colors on the Fourth. The line of march, at
least, should be bright with the red, white and
blue. Honolulu is nearly always slow to show
the flag, more from sheer laziness than anything
else. And this is a criticism that should not be
necessary in any American community.

The ALLIES QUARRELLING

Two weeks ago at a conference of the Pow.
ers in London, the Balkan. Allies and Turkey
signed a notable treaty of peace BY this treaty,
Turkey lost practically all her Europeon terri,
tory, escaping with ConstaHtinople and a thin
strip along the shores of what was formerly a
mighty empire.
Now the Allies are quarrelling loudly among
themselves and yesterdays dispatches brought
the news that Bulgaria had attacked Servia in
Macedonia. 1t is evident that the victors can
not agree as to the division of the spoils, and
that the peace of all Europe is practically as
much endangered now as when the Allies first
launched their attack at the Ottoman.
During the progress of the recent peace nego-
tiations, it was freely charged that Bulgaria
wished to hurry the signatories that she might
feel free to withdraw her forces from their siege
of Tchatalia and Constantinople, to mobilize
them further west against invasion of the terri
tory she claims from others of the Allies, notably
Greece and sSeryia. 1t seems now that the Bull
garian attack in Macedonia had been carefully
planned
Bulgaria, claim the other Allies, is asking for
more than her share of the conquered territory
Bulgaria answers this with the statement that
not only did she put by far the largest army in
the field but that her losses in the battles almost
eqnaled those of Montenegro, servia and Greece
combined.
The situation is tense one. The European
chess.board has been violently tilted and inter-
national politics are badly mixed. 1t is not
likely, however, that Bulgaria and Servia will
bo all fI,o;,
are ready to take a hand in the distribution of
the territory unless the Allies can settle that
point peaceably among themselves.

STARRETT Will
open MARKETING
BUSINESS HERE

The produce-marketing business,
built up to a considerable volume by
the territory during the past two
wears, will not be abolished on July
4. when the territorial marketing di-
vision goes out Of existence by decree
OF the legislature.
The business is to be continued, but
not as a public function. Marketing
Superintendent S. T. Starrett has an
rounced that he will at once open a
private commission business under
the firm name of S. T. Starrett & Co.
and will go right along handling ISL
and products.
Mr.. Starrett came down here for
the territorial board of immigration,
under which the division of market
ing was placed by the legislature OF
1911, and has been in charge OF the
division for two years. He has built
mp for the territory a large number
of farmer-patrons, and recently he
sent out to them announcements OF
his plan to enter the commission
business.
The last legislature abolished the
division and wiped out Starretts job.
The work was turned over to the
special agent of the federal agricnl-
tural department, DR.. E. v. Wilcox,
hut DIR. Wilcox does not plan to con-
tinue the public commission business.
There is a good opening for pri-
yate firm that will encourage small
farming" said Starrett this morning.
81 am going to charge practically the
same commission as the marketing
division charges, five per cent and in
cases ten per cent on commodities
that require special work. Vegetables
and other farm products are coming
in all the time in greater and greater
volume and it requires some one here
to handle the selling end. Dr.. VIII
cox's plan of inteTloeking associations
is a good one, but l believe that to
make it effective, the services of a
selling agent right here in Honolulu
will be necessary.
