THOSE BILLBOARDS AGAIN
May Is, 1913

.
Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin,
Sir:-It is of very little Importance
to the general public whether the Ad-
vertiser is after the billboard as a ri
val advertiser, or for other reasons.
So do not let us be led astray by any
false scent The one thing which in
terests us ali is whether the bill
boards can be eliminated from our
Landscapes and by so doing give us the
full unmarried beauty of our lovely
views of mountains, vale and sea.
Also whether they can be removed
from conspicuous points in the city,
where their presence is greater or
less menace to public safety in sever
al ways, and always something
which mars all architectural effects,
even though such effect be very small
A homely rough board tenement house
is not improved by huge painted signs,
as matter of fact As | have said
before. the courts generally have look
ed with jealous suspicion on anything
which tended to add grace and beauty
to our lives, or take away any blot
thereon. so the billboards have gener-
ally had the best of it before the
courts. But there are signs of turn
ing. The regulations presented by
the ST. Louis ordinances, though bit
terly fought, are still the law, and
another judge of one of the higher
courts has recently said that he did
not know why things which offended
the eye should not be subject to abate-
ment as well as those things which
offended the nose or ear. There is
every reason why all of us who de-
sire a cleaner and better Honolulu
should take courage and put up the
fight Sincerely,
w. r, CASTLE.

Because a newspaper, run by a

hearts), want to see Honolulu beauti-

destroy that milestone of a city's
prosperity-the billboard.

WEST VIRGINIA Law

4 discrtditable chapter in West Virginia $
history closed yesterday, according to dis
patches, when Governor Hatfield endoi the sys-
TEN Of trial of strikers and labor leaders by
court martial
The spectacle presented in the strike district
for two months past has been almost unique in
the annals Of American history. Governor Hat
field invoked the power Of the military court
martial when the eases should have been tried
by the civil courts The constitutional guar;llI.
tees were virtually suspended though the condi
tions never warranted the kind Of procedure to
which Hatfield resorted. There was strong srls-
picion that Hatfield was influenced by IA leaning
toward the powerful. corporations that notori-
ously hold West Virginia in their grip. The
governor now announces that charges against
the strikers and labor leaders will be turned
over to the civil authorities

WILL COST MONEY
AND TAKE TIME TO
COLLECT ONLY STA

Attorney General Thayer this
morning received word that the terri
tory has fallen heir to the sum of
$14.90; but it is going to require end
less red tape to gain permanent pos
session, it may cost far more than
that amount to settle the affair, and
the territory can't escape. 1t must
take the prescribed red-tape course,
and about five years hence the $14.90
becomes the territory's property.
This peculiar case, the first of es-
cheat to occur in about thirteen years,
arose through the death of Russian
laborer, Bromeslav Peotrowski, at
Laupahoehoe, Hawaii, short time
ago. He left something less than $500,
no will and no known relatives or
heirs. After paying the funeral ex-
penses and a few small debts, T. H.
Davis & Co., who took charge of the
mans affairs. have sent a check for
the balance to the attorney general.
He finds that to accept this sum an
almost interminable procedure IN the
circuit courts must be undergone.
Among other things, the court must
issue q summons, as in other cases at
law, which summons the attorney
general-shall cause to be published
for the space of three months in
newspaper OF general circulation pub
lished in Honolulu. Merely the read
ing of the procedure demanded by law
is long, tiresome task. And finally,
it provides that the property shall not
be entirely that of the territory until
five years have elapsed, at any time
during which interval heirs may APP
pear and lay claim to it.

GOVERNMENT To
HELP PROTECT
BABIES
Bulletins Issued Show Hygiene
for Children and Advocate
Municipal Assistance,

WASHINGTON. June 19.-What
the American cities are doing and can
do toward preventing infant mortal
ity and the high death rate of chill
dren under years of age is the sub
ject of a bulletin just issued by the
children's bureau. 1t is the purpose
of this Government bureau to issue
similar bulletin annually and in
time to make It a complete manual
for municipal and philanthropic &C
tivities in the direction Of child vel
fare.
Babies die of diseases which to a
large extent are preventable. In GER
tain large cities such as New York
and Philadelphia the result of syste-
matte summer baby saving cam
paigns has been shown in a reduc-
ton of between 80 and 40 per cent in
the deaths of children under years
of age in the wards where the work
was concentrated.
1t is estimated that baby nursed
by it's mother has approximately ten
times the chances to live that bot
tie fed baby has. All welfare work
ers encourage mothers to carry out
this most important material duty.
A constantly increasing number Of
cities of all sizes are establishing
milk stations and dispensing milk,
whether pure whole milk, certified,
modified, pasteurized or steriliZed
milk, to mothers of babies that must
be bottled
Municipalities are just beginning to
awaken to the Importance of prena-
tai care and to understand that much
of the waste of infant life is due to
causes that were operative before the
baby was born. Some cities have
special maternity nurse who gives all
her time to these cases; other cities
direct the general nurses to take
charge of them.
The value of training school girls
who are caretakers of little children
in the care of babies is regarded as
Of immense importance, the organi-
cation Of the Little Mother
Leagues" or Little Mother Glasses"
forms an important part of the well
fare work in most large cities.
The house fly as a death distribu-
tor the bulletin points out is only
recently receiving the attention 1t de-
serves. Flies carry infection not only
to exposed milk but directly to the
baby's mouth, or to the nipple of its
bottle. InsistenCe upon screens for the
baby's rooms and for the baby's bed
is a part of the campaign against
infant mortality; and the work
should go even further than this and
should include the destruction Of flies
by every known method and removal
of the breeding places.
Attention to housing conditions, to
the thorough watering of the streets,
and to the question of fresh air and
ventilation is urged
In conclusion the bulletin advises
the city health officials to establish
continuous graphic statement of
the births and deaths of babies, kept
by means of different colored pine to
be placed day by day on a city ward
map, and to thus keep informed as
to the special points of dangers; and
urges prompt registration of births in
order that the baby may be brought
under observation as soon as possi-
