THE WISE CHARGES

Neither John ii. Wise nor members of the
Territorial senate can afford to Jet the charges
Of grating made against the senate clerk go
without investigation and without answer.
These charges, if true, constitute serious Of
Tense Even if they do not lead TO proof of dis
honesty, they show altogether inexcusable waste
Of public funds. Waste is not so bad as graft
but it is often as costly both to the public treas
ury and to community morals If this waste is
eoing on unknown to the senate committee that
As supposed to check over such expenditures, the
public should know it,
On the other hand, there may be an entirely
legitimate explanation for all that Wise has
done and all that he is accused of doing. 1t is
certain that several senators have strong conf
dence in him. They deplore the cry of graft
that has been raised and say it is due to political
IMPOSITION, that the Democrats are trying to
make political mountain out of molehill.
That kind of talk, however, does not answer
the justiffable query of the public as to the truth
If Senator Coke's charges. The only kind of
talk that will answer is the talk that refutes the
1efinite allegations that Coke has made and
which he offers to repeat, with substantating
letais, before the grand jury. 600
So far, Mr.. Wise has not been heard from.
He Il in another part of the territory and COM
uunication with him has been slow. He owes it
b the public to explain the charges brought
against him, and if they cannot be fully ex-
IIained if the charges should be proved the
public may then very properly ask the senator's
'or an explanation of their own lack Of attention
b what was going on.
In the meantime, Judgment should be sus-
pended Only one side has beenft The 9TH
d side has the opportunity toanswer and it can
hot afford to be silent or to try to laugh the
tharges away.

Honolulu. Hawaii,
August u, 1913.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir noted with keen appreciation
your editorial in last nights issue of
the Star-Bulletin upon the Puahi hula
tragedy of Saturday night. Such edi-
torials | am sure must carry consid-
cradle weight in forming public opin-
ion favorable to the suppression of
the rum traffic. And many years .ex-
perience in the thick of the fight
against politically organized liquor in
terests have taught me that without
strong public sentiment behind such
a fight il is difficult to make Roadway.
Therefore personally and also as pres
ident of the Anti-Saloon League of
Hawaii I desire to thank you for that

Recent Ordinance Forces Unfit
Vehicles and Drivers of All
Kinds from Public
Streets

In New York City a. new traffic ord
nance went into effect on August /
that has points that might be consid-
cred in Honolulu. The following is a
resume of the ordinance.
In commenting upon the new law,
Alderman Courtlandt Nicoll, who has
been active in bringing about its enact
ment, stated today that it is similar
in many respects to the London sys-
TEN of regulating vehicles for public
use.
The most important difference be-
tween the London system and the New
York ordinance is that in London the
entire responsibility for enforcement
is in the hands of the police, while
in New York it is vested in the Ma
yor's Bureau of Licenses, assisted by
the police.
Commencing on August l." said
Alderman Nicoll, unfit vehicles and
irresponsible drivers will be forced
from the city streets. Those who use
public vehicles can be reasonably sure
that the driver is neither incompetent

the cabs, and the public must contend,
temporarily. with. the Inconvenience
caused by this arrangement
"A rule by which to determine the
new fare Is to deduct 20 per cent from
the amount shown on the old taxime-
ter in the case of one or two passen-
gers. With three or four passengers
the rates are about the same as at
present. This rule does not apply to
cabs run by the Independent Taxicab
Owners Association, on which rate
of fare approximately in accordance
with the new ordinance Is already
used
signs showing the public hack
stands and the number OF cabs per-
mitted at each one are being design
ed. 1t Is the purpose of the Clty to
erect these signs in practically every
place where hack stand Is estab-
lished. Their design and construction,
however, must necessarily occupy
some time, and 1t is to be hoped that
some arrangement can be made where
by temporary signs may be placed at
public hack stands.
THE attention of the officials o.
clubs and owners OF hotels should bs
drawn to the section of the new or
dinance which provides that owners
of property may have q public stand
in front of their premises. providing
that proper application is made.
The new ordinance has provis-
ion forbidding the solicitation of fares

nor thug. Great care will be taken
in licensing all public drivers, includ-
ing the Identification of licenses by
photographs and signatures, and the
possession of a public hack drivers
license will be practically certificate
of competency and character.
Details to be Arranged.
ITO put this new system into effect
overnight is impossible Hundreds of
vehicles will have to be examined and
re-licensed, and hundreds of chauf-
feurs and drivers must have the state
ments contained in their applications
checked up. They must also be pre-
pared to furnish photographs, while a
filing system for reference must be
created, and inspectors must be APP
pointed.
Those who have had experience in
these matters know the inevitable de-
lays which arise when the city under
takes a new departure. Fortunately,
these will be comparatively brief in the
case OF. the new ordinance, as every
official, from the Mayor down; is in
hearty accord, and working to make
the measure a success. But it will
be months before the details are ar
ranged, and before the License Blu
reau will be fully equipped to deal
with the problems which the ordin-
ance has created.

Indef Sheriff Jarrett
Al sheriff who admits even occasional visits to
such a resort as the Puahi dance-hall-and who
maintains that he saw no reason for closing that
lance-hall--is incompetent if he is not worse.
Furthermore, in allowing one of his men to have
b personal interestin the hail. he is at least SUBJ
letting the man to the temptation of graft.
The dance-hall incident is only one of a num-
Der going to show the easy going inefficiency of
Jarrett As the head Of his department, he
should be a man to command respect, to enforce
discipline, to raise morale of the police force
Jarrett's inefficiency was pretty well-known
81 the last campaign but his political opponents
preferred to laud his rival candidate in vague
terms rather than to point TO the positive proofs
of Jarrett's undesirability. We hope that the
people who stand for clean government will re
fuse to be hoodwinked at the next campaign by
Jarrett's apologists and will take definite step
to stiffen the backbone of the organization paid
