The above chart, prepared by SAM
tary Engineer s. W. Tay of the terri
torial board of health is graphic
brief description OF; life and death in
Honolulu since 1875 and as such
proves an interesting subject for
study. 1t is based on the statistics in
the board of health offices, where &C
curate records have been kept of the
city's vital statistics since 1900 and
where fairly accurate records may be
found extending back 81 years.
z The first jagged black line extend
ing across the chart might be termed
Honolulu's life line," while the
crooked one just below could be cali
ed the city's death line" The third,
below this one, which looks like an
outline of series of mountain peaks,
shows the percentage of deaths each
year according to population.
The lowest line. lit will be noticed,
curves gradually downward from the
year 1900 while, the other two incline

upward. This means that while the
city's population has been increasing
steadily, as the upper line indicates,
and while the number of deaths each
year is gradually increasing. as the
middle line shows, yet the average
number of deaths, say for each 1900
inhabitants. has been decreasing. In
a word, this indicates that health con-
ditions have been better, and in only
one instance have the deaths ever
been much more than 20 per 1000 in
habitants in any year since 1903.
That exception was during the chol-
era contagion in 1911. During the
plague in 1900 there we're 1900 deaths,
greater number than the municipal
ity has experienced before or since
that time 1t is naturally expected
that with the increase in population
the number of deaths will increase,
while the congestion usually incident
to thickly populated districts generally
tends to increase the ratio.

HELP ALONG THE NATIONAL GUARD

The plans to build up the national guard sof
Hawaii deserve we'll at the hands Of the influ.
entail people of this community.
There is mistaken idea that the militia or.
CARNATIONS are useful only in case Of hostiities
with foreign nation or acute disorders at home.
Nothing could be farther from the truth. The
national guard is a great deal more than mill.
tary factor; 1t is great deal more than a pos.
sible means Of defense or a super.police patrol.
It is distinct factor for general benefit to the
young men Of this and other cities. The guard
gives training, both mental and physical; ii
gives ideas Of discipline, of moral restraint of
patriotism in local as well as national affairs.
In its splendid new armory, the national guard
Of Honolulu will be sort of nigltschool for the
all-around tutoring and development Of youths
and men here.
Moreover, the guard stands for the promotion
Of clean sport, Of recreation, of fellowship
and Of entertainment Of its members 1t offers
advantages that no other institution in Honolulu
can offer, and it does so without competing with
the y NJ. G. "A. or any other association or So
ciety
Because of these things the national guard
deserves the thorough goodwill Of the people Of
Honolulu Businessmen may well afford to en-.
courage their employees to join the guard for the
guard offers the kind Of training that makes an
employe more trustworthy, alert and efficient,
III the present campaign to recruit additional
companies and to bring All the companies up to
full strength Honolnll Businessmen cannot do
better either for their own interests or the per-
sonel welfare OF their employees than to help
along the national guard idea.

THE HEATHER RAGING

..The Investigation has been hampered by the
shyster tactics Of the Star Bulletin howls the
Advertiser this morning, in the course of an edi-
torial in which it proves to its own satisfaction
that so long as McDuffie has been accused, he
should be discharged, although the accusations
have not been proved. 81 s
The heather rage OF our morning contempor-
airy is ludicrous and it is pitiful. Ludicrous be-
cause it is so empty Of substance in spite OF its
matchless flow of words; pitiful because the
paper, having banded about charges against
McDuffie that it has entirely failed to support,
is now desperately trying to excuse itself by
blaming others for the failure.
The tar-Bulletin, as anyone with normal in
telligence can see from what this paper has
printed has insisted merely that the accused
police officers be given a square deal; that they
should be acquainted with the charges against
them; that they should be allowed an explana-
tion before the civil service commission; that
they should not be hailed before grand jury
without having tile right to make public their
statements in the same degree that the state
me1lts against them have been made public
Is this s'shyster tacticsg n
The Star. Bulletin has insisted that the inves
tigation, so long as it includes charges of mis-
handling of money and of yaluables by the off.
GERS, should not stop with McDuffie and Kellett
II they have been guilty of these Deeds then Jar
rett has been guilty OF gross incompetency and
negligence If they have appropriated valuables
held at the station and have openly worn rings
and watches belonging to others, then Jarrett
has been blindly lax in his administration.
Is it eshyster tactics to Insist that two de-
tective officers shall not be made the scapegoat
for the sheriff's shortcomings?
The Advertiser has been talking for months Of
what was going to happen to McDnffie and KEEL
lett When the Advertiser sees that the inyesti-
gation-if continued at all-is likely to involve
the entire police administration, and its inconl-
petent 2OOspound pet, then the Advertiser begins
to howl "shyster tactics Y

True or FALSE I

II The police investigation is dropped now and
Sheriff jarrett fellows out the suggestions of the
Advertiser that McDuffie be dismissed, the sit
uation will be unfortunate for the community.
1t viii be entirely discredtable to the sheriff as
well as to these who profess good faith in their
attack on McDuffie. 1t will be grossly unfair to
McDuffie.
The charges against McDuffie have never been
nut into concrete form but they are nasty in in.
nuendo. They should either be proved or dis.
proved They cannot well 60 by default now.
If they are proved, jarrett should by all
means dismiss McDuffic.
Il they are disproved, Jarrett has no excuse
for not reinstating the captain of detectives.
II the attorney generals office cannot find in
the charges as worked up by the Advertiser and
members of the detective force enough truth and
enough evidence to take before grand jury and
If the attorney generals office believes that
there is enough to direct suspicion against Nc.
Duffic, then what evidence is in Deputy Smiths
hands should be turned over to the civil service
commission. The civil service commission may
examine the evidence and decide whether the
facts substantiated and the general circum-
stancs are such as to warrant the dismissal of
McDHffie. In the meantime, McDuffie has ey.
cry right to demand reinstatement. /

GRATITUDE

Unkindness and absolute want of
consideration from one you have de-
voted your life to bring up; coldness
and indifference from one you have

terrible things; soul agonies than
which none are keener in life.

TERRIBLE TIME
 ON FISHING BOAT

The fishing launch Belle" an S. ton boat capsiZed last Friday night or early Saturday morning during a ter rife sQual, while trying to make Whitestone Bay whither the craft was being driven to escape the storm pre- yailing at Pt. Augusta. There were three persons aboard II. k. Shepard, Martin Hol>t. and Ole jacobson The little vessel turned over on her beam ends and stuck in that position for more than two hours. Everything on deck was swept overheard. The masts were laying out in the water and the door was laying under water cOoping the men like rats in trap. Jacob son kicked a hole through the back end Of the cabin and they all crawled out.
 Shepard was placed in the small skin to keep it from being smashed to pieces with the lurching of the heavy seas. Hoist and Jacobsen went to work on the disabled ship. A six inch stream of water was flowing through one of the open dead lights and the engine room was half filled with water. The hole was stopped Jacobsen got the pump to working on deck and Hoist commenced to bail with a stew pan the only available ar ticle of use in that line. After two hours of work the vessel righted her self standing on even keel once more After long time they succeeded in getting the engines to work and in three hours they pounded into White stone Bay.
 Mir. Shepard says that he has not yet recovered wholly from his thrill ing experience and does not care to go through it again. He says that they owe their lives to the heroic work of Hoist and Jacobson. The party had gone to look at some quartz property at Fresh Water bay on Chi chagoff island, leaving Juneau Thurs day morning. Friday night they left Fresh Water bay and ran to Point Gu ba The wind drove them from this point and they headed for Point Au- gusta. Here it was even worse and they started to make Whitestone bay when the disaster overlook them. The wind was blowing off shore, a stiff southeaster. They left Whitestone Saturday night and stopped at Swan sons bay the next night Monday they arrived at the bar on the way home and arrived in Juneau Tuesday night.
