MORE Pos1oFFIcE Kicks

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir: agree most emphatically with
"A. w. W." who has communication
in last nights Star Bulletin regarding
the facilities or the lack Of the same
in the local postoffice. and other con-
ditions ever present that make 1t
place to be dreaded by those who are
compelled to transact postal business
there.
There seems to be an utter lack of
energy on the part of someone
clothed with postal authority to keep
up with the times or even to lag
little ways behind, which is generally
the case with everything that Uncle
Sam has to do with in the way of
public utilities. 1t would seem that
Honolulu and Hilo are trying to see
which can hold on to its prehistoric
postoffice methods the longest, and
the public be blowed.
1t has been voiced time and again
in these columns of the very short"
treatment and still shorter answers
patrons of the local postoffice have
received when they have desired
little. help in some postal matter that
was outside of asking for their mail;
notable case happened only a short
time ago when the complainant
claimed that he was handed more
than a short answer" by the post
office employees when he. was trying
to locate piece of mail matter. After
an investigation the, postmaster
stated that he could fine no evidence
of the applicant being abused or even
being given a short answer" Still,
Il will wager that more people be-
lieyed the complainant than did the
report of the postmaster
Judging from some Of my own ex-
periences, some of the employees of
the local pestoffice- seem to be Of the
opinion that the Creators overcoat
would not make vest for them
Furthermore, can the postmaster
of our local back-nuniber postoffice
or anybody, else connected with it, or
any citizen of this citysgiYe any good
reason why the city has not couple
of branch postoffices that would go a
long ways toward progressiyeness, to
say nothing of bringing postoffice
facilities up to mark enjoyed by the
people of cities not near the size of

LET HAWAII COME FORWARD!

Hawaii's heart has been touched-where is
Hawaii's pocketbook?
The Star Bulletin today opens a fund for the
Tins of tornado, flood and fire in the stricken
middle western and southern states Two con-
tributions Of five dollars each opened the fund
this morning. Two men, one victim of San
Franchises fire, one native Of Ohio, that state
upon which the full fury of the disaster has
fallen,- to the Star Bulletin office today.
Letters and telephone calls already had urged
this paper to open a subscription list And the
fund is opened
As soon as arrangements can be made, details
of the handling of the fund will be announced.
Now, Hawaii, it is up TO you-up to your
known generosity in any righteous cause!
President Wilson has asked the nation for as
sistance Governor Cox of Ohio has appealed to
residents of a hundred rayaged cities and a thou
sand torn and ruined towns and villages cry
aloud for relief. The need is gigantic. Will
there be response?
Every dollar helps in this cause, and every

The people of this territory have given thou
sands for famine and flood victims in India or
in China; thousands for missionary work in for

raised for Duke Kahanalhoka and the purchase
of house and lot for the swimming champion

And right in that last sentence there is point
ed out the vital reason why the legislature of
1913 must provide new system.
The senate holdover committee is now at
work, We believe, on plans for such system 1t
is said that the bank examiners duties will in
clude some auditing. But will this 60 far
enough? The report from which the above quo
tations are taken plainly shows the wisdom of a
system that will audit the auditors books as well
as those of other territorial and county depart
mcnts. This fact is well recognized by the Audit
company, which, in its report, says
"On account of the great Importance attach
ing to the office of auditor, We recommend that
the auditors for the various counties be appoint
ed by the governor, or that a general auditing
bureau be created"
The appointing of auditors is not course
that under ordinary circumstances should be ia
vored. A far better plan would be to fix the
bonds of auditors and treasurers so high that
none but men of known probity, character and
ability could be elected, and to surround these
men with every safeguard of model auditing.
The appearance of the bill amending the pres
ent system will be watched with interest. That
a separate bureau or department of accounts
should be created, to pass on the accounts of all
territorial and county departments, seems to be
the best solution yet suggested.

A DEFENSE OF THE posToFFIcE
Manoa. March 81. 1913.

Manoa, March q, 1913.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-The letter of A. w. w. con-
corning the refusal of the local postal
authorities to grant mail delivery to
Manoa deserves a reply. Knowing
that in the States mail is brought
daily to and from even the remote
rural districts, the Manoaite may well
feel some Impotence with regulations
that compel the resident of a we'll
populated district of Hawaii's capital
To travel to post Office three miles
distant; and this Impotence is not
lessened when on arrival at the office
he finds himself obliged to take a
place at the foot of one of two long
lines served only by one clerk. He
does not grow in good humor, either,
when he finds that his papers and
magazines are not yet ready for dis
tribution, for the general delivery
mail is always the last to be sorted,
nor does he find any solace in the I'M
expected presence of special deliv-
cry letter that has reposed in the of
flee since shortly after the last pre-
ceding mail boat. A. w. w. is right;
such conditions do not speak well for
Honolulu.
Yet, strongly as I sympathize with
him, | am not ready to agree that
blame should be placed upon the local
POSTAL authorities. AS Manoaite who
has sought for some time to obtain
an extension of mail service to the
valley, | am inclined to believe that
IL anyone is to be blamed that one

THE NEXT sTEP...BETTER AUDITING SYSTEM

The fight for complete and dntrammeled in
vestigation of Hawaii countys financial tangle
was won, so far as action in the Legislature is
concerned, when the lower house passed the Sen
ate Bill 7s yesterday afternoon.
1t was hard fight, a hot fight The Star
Bulletin, while consistently supporting the SEN
ate bill and arguing against serious amendment
Of it, is not among those who captiously criticise
the seven representatives who finally voted
against the bill. In common with the great ma
jority of the people, We give these gentlemen
credit for sincerity in their attitude, for belief
that the bill should be amended. DR.. Twins
amendments were presented, we are disposed to
believe, in good faith. But the emergencies of
the situation seemed to demand speedy action on
the bill, and, taking into account all considera-
tions, this paper feels that the house did wise
thing in passing the bill virtually it came from
the senate and thereby checking possible dis
agreement with the upper house.
There should not be any bitterness among the
factions that fought with such lively interest yes
terday. For the work of Strengthening out coun-
" financial affairs has just begun, and it is a
work in which is needed all the intelligence and
determination shown on both sides in the late
battle of wits and forces. This work means re
construction of the financial systems of all the
counties,-Honolulu as well as Hawaii. 1t
means reconstruction of some phases of the ter
ritorial accounting system The ideal to be at
tanned is that of complete cooperation between
territorial and county government in model
system of bookkeeping and handling of funds.
Few businessmen of this territory, we venture
r. saw. realize the laxity, the lack of business
system. with which Hawaii county affairs have
heep carried on. The Audit Company of Hawaii,
n it's report to the senate hold-oyer committee

Kinslea had courage and independence enough

1t has been quite APPLY commented that one
of the reasons why Hawaii should have public
utilities commission is to exercise sort of benef-
icent and paternal supervision Of public service
corporations here and see that they live up to the
requirements of their charters The mere fact
that these charters were conferred by Congress
and the powers lie outside territorial control does
not necessarily mean that no supervision is need
ed. Indeed, the very fact of a control so re-
mote as Washington is apt to breed some laxity
in living up to the charter requirements.

it to filling buggy cushions with to
sell.
Harve says that there is nothing so
soft to fill buggy cushion with as
just human hair, and ruther than let
all the hair which he cuts go to waste,
Harve has made up his mind to utilize
it in this manner.
Jaspar Smith says that if Harve is a
going to do this he'll be dog-goned if
he don't make Harve cut his hair next
time for less money, being as it amt
fair for Harve to make a fortune outen
hair clippings without giving his Gus
toners the benefits of It. The general
opinion seems to be the same as Jas
paris in this matter.

the cards be investigated which was done
and it was found that they was playing
with a pack and half of cards.
Tsiah and Dock both denied knowing
how the extra cards got into the deck,
but Pop accused them of cheating and
Dock he hauled often his coat and want
ed to fife but when the rest Of the deck
fell outen his sleeves he cooled down
some, but he said he didn't know how
the tarnashion they got there.
Isiah and Dock wanted Pop to set up

went home mad. Hen says his custom
