For years past there have been
complaints, many Of them doubtless
prejudieed, that insurance rates in the
territory, particularly fire insurance,
need revision and that the fire sched-
ule should be revised downward. The
public has patiently accepted the as
surance of the underwriters board
that rates would presently be lowered,
and the reasons why the cut has not
come sooner have been many and ex-
cellent. At the same time. the public
is FESTIVE under the present lack of
adequate supervision, and some such
action as the establishment of an in
surance department is inevitable
and it is right"

the FIGHT AGAINST THE FRUIT FLY

Clean culture was the only remedy immedi-
ately available at the opening of the campaign
against the Mediterranean fruit fly here, and
although its limitations were acknowledged, its
value has been made apparent by reports mat
have been published of diminution of the pest.
and forestry, however, was not going to take any
chances, with half-measures, Of the destruction
of the entire fruit industry of the islands, and he
was supported by the board in promptly taking
steps to procure, if possible, a natural enemy Of
the pest. Professor Silvestri Of Italy, an emf
nent entomologist, was engaged by cable about
a year ago to 90 TO Africa in search Of parasite
of the fruit fly believed to have its habitat some
where in the dark continent, once so-called. As
stated in Yesterdays Star Bulletin, the special
envoy of the board has succeeded in his quest so
that at an early day the parasite may be expect
ed on the ground here doing its work. Parast-
ism, or the science of employing natural enemies
of pests for their eradication, or at least their
control, is recognized and has been proved to be
one of the most useful means of protection to ag-
riculture One OF the latest series of proofs in
this connection has appeared in the reports Of
sugar plantations lately summarized in this pa
per, showing that the tachinid fly employed to
combat the cane-borer is performing its task in
great shape. On estate where introduced it is
stated to be propagating ITSELF with great "a
pidity, while the pest it fighs is as rapidly dis
appearing. The older services of he ladybrd in
pettingaaway, with insect blights are familiar to
Everybody 1t is to be hoped that Professor Sill
vestri's enemy of the fruitfly may be as success
fully established as any Of its allies thereby put
ting hope again into the hearts of all cultivators

Editor Honolulu Bullt tin,
Sir:-l.s Brother J. G.. BrutuS has
remarked this is indeed a puerile, pid-
ding age, when mans sympathies
and superstitions control his motives
and make a mockery of his public &C
tons.
Nowhere is this better shown than
at one of HonOlulu's piers upon the
departure of passenger vessel - an
almost daily occurrence = when Capt.
Berger's band strikes up some such
tune as Home Sweet Home" or Aloha
Zoe" The sight that greets ones eyes
then might be pitiful were it not so
silly and simply idiotic.
| have seen strong men break down
and weep as though with a sorrow in
consolable; yet there wasn't a soul
aboard they could call by name.
have seen tourists, strangers alike to
the departing ones and those ashore,
choke up, hastily produce handker-
chiefs and turn away with tears courS-
ling down their cheeks. | have seen
fair young sightseers, as the ship
backed out of the slip and the strains
of our Queens sad masterpiece waited
out across the water, throw themselves
into the arms of thier male escorts in
llachrymose hysteria; the escorts, far
from being astonished at this sudden
intimacy on the part of purely platon-
ic friends, bowed their own heads and
gave voice to an evidently deep but
!inexplicable grief.
Now Honolulu is small, as cities go,
and it is true we are five days Jour-
ney from the nearest big port. Yet
ocean travel in these days is shown by
statistics to be far safer than travel
by land. What would we think of the
businessman or stranger in town,
who, every time he saw passenger
train leave the depot, shed copious
tears? Or of the friend who spilled
aqueous ointment over our parting
handclasp? 49,. g..
AS to the girls-well, we women are
unaccountable for some of our actions |;
some of us find our deepest pleasure
in crying, and it is barely possible
some of us go TO see the ships sail out
merely to crafty that ypoehondriacal
passion. RSF$s- #=t
But the point seek to make is. the
separation or friends, OF. loved. ones. Is
sad, tbs true, but is it, necessary or
desirable to make others burst forth
in sobs at the mere sight of their mis-
Iery? Blame cannot attach to the sor-
rowing relatives. The real cause Of
the bystanders' grief lis that Royal
Hawaiian Band! sRt ,ae9tI -: ~
When your friend or loved one is
sad, you do not sing doleful airs or
discuss morbid topicss do, you? You
seek to cheer him ups if you are able
, to talk at all. 1t should be the same
at partings. ~. 4s...a 49,. .,.....

The Star Bulletin is glad to be able to pub
lish the cablegram from Washington today Civ
ing the information that there is to be no imme-
date change in the goyernorship, TO GUST Mr..
Frear at this time would be an act of the most
unlnitigated folly on the part of the new admin
stration, and if we read Mr.. Wilson Alright, he
is not built on the plan of firing public officer
simply because that officer is not a Democrat.
The Democratic candidates are not lacking in
many qualifications but none of them nor any
Democrat the territory can put forward should
be showed into office in the midst of an import
ant legislative session and while the present ex-
ecutive is fostering such progressive measures
as he suggested in his opening message.

run-0ff from de f0rpStet and barren II giOnS very
rapid, with resulting heavy erosion and damage
to agricultural lands and property. Further.
there are very few natural storage sites in the
territory, and the rtln-off of barren regions may
be likpned to the run-off from roof without gut
tiers or rainspouts. In a great many locations
porous or fissured conditions of the drainage
areas result in light surface run-off and a
heavy absorption of the rainfall. This water
may sometimes he picked up by water tunnels or
wells, but as a rule it appears in springs near or
below sea level. The comparative cost of irri-
eating by pumping against the cost Of surface
gravity supplies is too well-known TO be dis
cussed here. With%the intermittent rainfall of
the territory, without regulation of some kind,
the resultant run-off of surface streams would
consist of short periods of high erOsve and de-
structive floods followed by long periods of
drought Underground supplies would be SINH
larry affected to less degree. .=.
There is but one way by which Hawaiian
streams may be economically regulated, and that
is by retaining or developing heavy blanket of
forcst-cever over as much of the streams catch
ment areas as may be consistent with the de-
mand for water from these areas. The heaviest
rainfall is, with few exceptions, above the levels
at which agriculture is carried on and it is at
these upper levels that the heaviest fOrest-cOyer
is needed as a water-supply regulator. This
Spongelike cover receives and retains the rain
fall, and feeds it gradually to the surface and
underground water sources, serving as a regula-
tor to decrease floods and to increase dry season
discharge.
The territory of Hawaii has since 1910 main
tanned a photographic survey in cooperation
with the United States geological survey. Linn
tied funds have restricted operations to lowlevel
accessible localities with insufficient and tenn
porary equipment The 1911 and 1912 reports Of
this survey are now being prepared, and should
be given to the public within the next few
months. These data will give the daily, month
ly, and annual discharge of such streams as have
been under investigation, and should furnish
abundant proof of the necessity of forest-coyer
as stream discharge regulator. These reports
will also show the amount of water that is being
utilized, and the amount being wasted at a num-
Der of localities. In number of cases seepage
loss of irrigation bitches is also given.
The forestry and photographic operations are
so intimately related, the effectiveness of each
depends so much on cooperation with the other,
that this cooperation should be fostered and
stimulated by official action of the territory,
which is exactly the aim of the two bills.

TWO BILLS THAT SHOUlD PASS

There are now pending in.the Legislature two
extremely important house bills that ought by
all means to be enacted into law. They relate to
funds for forestry and photographic operations
and in effect will create a division of hydrog-
raphy in the bureau of agriculture and forestry.
These bills are necessary mechanical steps to-
ward adequate conservation of Hawaii's forests
and streams, natural wealth in danger of being
squandered through carelessness and ignorance.
The Star-Bulletin few days ago referred to
the excellent series of measures Endorsed both
by the territory, through the board of agricul-
ture and forestry, and the federal government,
through the head of the photographic survey
here, Mr.. G. X. Harrison. House bills Nos. 119
and 121 are part of this series.
No 119 provides:
