Editor Honolulu Star-PulIetin.
Sir: - In Tuesdays issue of your

story concerning ME, concluding
with the following paragraph TO which
/ take slight. exception: You say,
Rose offered the interesting state
ment that he was specially GeputiZed
by both the consular representatives
of Spain and Portugal to look after
the interests of all Immigrants who
desired to leave the territory" =.
In the first place you conferred upon
me an honor to which | am not en-
titled. To be a servant of a consular
representative and carry out his I'M
official instructions dos not signify
that such servant is "deputized,"
which means ito empower to act for
another" or in other words, a vice
consul want it to be understood
in Justice to the two consuls whom |
on occasions serve, that I am not
"deputized' The Spanish consul kind
~ permits me to serve him in num-
Der of capacities, but never as vice
consul; the Portuguese consul has
given me permission only to assist
Portuguese subjects who may, per
chance, require my services outside Of
the consulate Hence It is quite APP
parent that | merely serve and am
not "deputized" by. either consular rep
resentatiye any more than is the office
boy or the porter. ...:
In regard to looking after all i'm
migrants who desire tUEleave the ter
ritory," wish to say that have had
emphatic instructions from the Span
ish consul not to encourage in any
way emigration from this territory. l
have never spoken with the. Portu,
guese consul on this subject, but ,
doubt not he is of a similar mind and
personally do not look after all I'M
migrants who desire to leave the ter
ritory." .........
Thanking you in advance for the
space, remain, yours very truly,

REFORMED SPELLING AND

That Roosevelt's system Of reformed

a letter recently received by the local
promotion committee from broom

Mattoon, Illinois The letter, which is
to the effect that the company is. de-
sirous OF establishing an agency in
Honolulu, reads as follows:

cane harvester to harvest cane whear
one man and team of tWo horses

and piles in piles. Now sthe freight

The letter was not signed although
written on the firms letterhead On
a business card which came attached
to the letter it says that the machine
which is now being manufactured by
the Mattoon company will top and cut
ten acres of cane in twelve hours and
save the labor of twenty men. One
machine, it is said, may be worked
with one man and team of horses.

STRIKING A THE SOCIAL IVIL

To the long list of measures before the legis-
lature making for material progress in this ter
ritory, there is now added measure making for
moral progress,-the abatement by injunction
billv that was introduced in the senate this
morning.
This BILL founded on the noted ''red-light
law of Iowa. represents the most advanced idea
in dealing with the social evil that lawyers, com
munity officials, humanitarians and sociologists
have evolved from all the long and deeply sad
history of humanity's battle against vice. 1t is
no secret that the bill has been framed by Gov
ernor Frear, and to the governor is due the
heartfelt thanks of this community for the sound
and practical way in which he has approached
the subject
Theprinciples of the law are few and simple
The object of the act is to provide for the closing
of houses of prostitution by issuance of injunc-
ton against the proprietor of the establishment
and the owner or agent of the building in which
the place is maintained. Not only is the person
maintaining the place declared a nuisance, but
the building or place so occupied is declared
10 be a nuisance A perpetual injunction may
he secured by any citizen. The effect of an act
SO broadly yet definitely .worded is to strike at
the itincrant prostitute or keeper of a house of
;lI.fame as we'll as at the owner or agent that
PERMITS his premises to be used for immoral pur-
noses. Persons against whom an injunction
Is issued cannot repeat the offense without com
inc into contempt of court. Moreover, houses

THE MAIN QUESTION

The trouble with the Hawaiian Electric
Company's contract with the territory for Nuu-
anu water is that the territory apparently did
not ascertain, before signing the contract, wheth-
er or not there was going to be any surplus wa
ter to sell to the corporation 1t is clear now
that Nuuanu has not enough water for domestic
and irrigating purposes, not to speak of selling
water to the electric company for commercial
purposes.
The legality of the grant to the company of
the right to dig up the streets is not the main
question at issue, though if the grant is not legal,
q means of stopping the installation of the pipe
line is offered through injunction by the courts.
The main question is as to how long the people
Of Honolulu are willing to let the water depart
ment be run as it has been run in the past and
as it is being run now.
The legislative investigation will undoubted-
" uncover some of the haphazard methods, some
Of the lack of organization in the department,
but the citizens of Honolulu ought not to be con-
tent with criticism. They should demand SUI
perintendent of public works big enough for the
job, and he should be paid enough to keep him
on the job. The subordinates of thedepartment
or not TO be blamed for the lack of organization,
nor for the Hawaiian Electric contract, and be-
fore blaming Superintendent Bishop for that
contract, it would be well to see how far the
agreement had progressed before he came into
office, which was just a short time before the
contract was signed
The truth is that the wat department should
be 0verhauled and reorganized and Honolulu
should secure the services ofsan expert water en-
gineer.
This city is facing probably its most serious
single municipal problem in the failing water
supply, and the Improvement clubs which have
called meetings to discuss the Nuuanu contract
will enlist themselves for the good of the com
munity if they will demand thorough investi-
cation of the water situation with the object of
making the department big enough for its big
job

Speaking of the Hawaiian Electric water con-
tract, is it not fact that the waterworks has a
high-lift pump that can be used to pump water
up to Nuuanu for something like fifteen or TWEEN
ty dollars million gallons-a cent and half
or two cents per thousand gallons-and that this
water can then be sold to the Hawaiian Electric
Company for six and one-half cents per thousand
gallons? The electric company, of course, would
have to take the chances of some scale i'm it's pipes
