HARMONY IN THE RANKS
Editor Honolulu star-Bulletin,

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin,
Sir:-The attack on Delegate Kala-
nianaole by the morning paper is un-
called for, and very inopportune. The
delegate is doing all he can to win
votes against free sugar, and he has
more friends in congress than any
special delegate we can send there.
Why not strengthen his hands and APP
plaud his acts when they are directed
to furthering the best interests OF
these islands?
Kuhio needs no defence from this
late attack If there was an election
for delegate tomorrow he would sweep
these islands. He has faults; he has
not always taken that firm hold and
decided stand on public affairs that
some of his supporters would have
liked him to do, but he has all in all
worked hard for Hawaii For that he
is entitled to praise and fair play. Let
us send good strong Republican and
a Democrat who are not antagonistic
to the delegate, to strengthen him in
the task before him.
F. l.. Waldron and Senator Wirtz
are the men to go if they can be pre-
vailed upon to accept The tariff is
the paramount issue in the nation and
especially in Hawaii. and every con-
certed effort should be directed toward
securing united action.
1t is poor excuse to say, well, the
delegate has made mistakes; he is
working hard now, but some time pre-
vious he did not do what we directed
him to do in the columns of our pa
per-"
The delegate will, know, be true
to Hawaii in this free sugar fight. Let
us send men who will be acceptable to
him and good management Let us
for the time forget our petty differ
.ences. There is too much involved for
us to quarrel over the errors, If any
there be, on the record of the past.
Sincerely,
GEO. A. DAVIS.

AGAINST THE PENSION
April s, 1918.

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin,
Sir:-Regarding the new bill that is
before the legislators whereby it is
sought to hand over $50 month for
life to man who has, been working
steady for over twenty years. for one
don't see it in that light. fail to see
why the people of this city and the
territory as well should hand over $50
a month to any man with no better ex-
cuse than that the man who has been
working steady for over twenty years
at fair salary, and has, as under
stand, nice little home and money
laid by (if he hasn't he ought to have),
is now laid up somewhat under the
weather, and MAY not be able to do
any more work
In the first place, If the man has not
saved anything out of his salary of
twenty years steady work but has
blowed it all fluey as he went alonf
and lived right up to the limit (which
it is not likely Mr.. Green has doneI, it
does not seem to have call on the
people of this territory to furnish him
with a living for the rest of his life.
He is not the only one that has work
ed twenty years for the good of the
territory. All of us who have been
working here for the last twenty years
have been working just as faithfully
for the good of the territory as has
Mr.. Green, and five have not been

as now obtains with Mr.. Green you can

The legislators of Hawaii were not
elected for the purpose of handing out
$5G-a-month pensions of the peoples
money to every Tom, Dick and Harry
who has happened to put in twenty or
more steady years in the employ of the
territory or employed otherwise, and
a person should consider himself
lucky to have the privilege of working
for sure paymaster for twenty years
without the reward of a pension of $50
month when they think that they

EXTENDING CIVIL SERVICE

A natural result of the success of the fire and
police department civil service bills in the legis-
lature is the appearance of the measures designed
to establish civil service regulations i'm the health
department. The legislature has already for
mally gone on record as favoring civil service
and will doubtless now extend its provisions to
Dr. Pratt's division.
As matter of fact, DIR. Pratt started the
merit system of appointment in his department
nearly two years ago, holding series of exami-
nations to weed out the unfit and give the fit
some assurance of holding their positions ire
spectiye of politics Thereupen DIR. Pratt was
made the subject of a venomous attack by pro-
,fessional politicians and chronic job-seekers,
some Of whom we're dropped from health inspect
orships because of a showing of really pitiful
ignorance 1t was freely prophesied at the time
that Pratt's appointment as president of the
board, made after the 1911 legislature adj
journed, would never be confirmed by the senate
of 1913. His name is now in the long list of
those on which the present senate has deferred
action from time to time. But that is nothing
against Pratt; in fact, it is to his credit that he
incurred the enmity of those who regard the pub
lie health department as the place to plant po
litical henchmen.
Ultimately we shall see the principle of civil
service extended considerably further, very prob
ably to the 'subordinates of most of the territor
ial and municipal departments

The Star-Bulletin's contention that terri
torial department employee has no right to en-
gage in the business of selling coal to the city,
because of the plain provisions of a law passed
two years ago, has been upheld by the assistant
city attorney in an opinion rendered to the board
of supervisors last night. In the face of the
strict provisions of this law, the territory and
the municipality ought to establish once and for
all the principle of keeping public officials out
of the business of public contracts. In justice
to Manuel Cook, the territorial department en-
ploye mentioned, it should be said that he had
good reason to believe he was not violating any
law.

Mayor Wilson Agrees to Notify

Work at d. & B.. Co.'s

1.-THE only city official we ever see is
the tax collector declared Nicholas
Tesiny, president of the North End
Improvement association, last night to
members of the Common Council. A
petition had been presented from AL
derman voos asking that the Danbury
& Bridgeport Trolley Co. be required
to repair upper Main street from Jew
EFT street north to the Trunlbuu line
where the company excavated< more
than year ago to lay it's trolley
tracks. After the petition had been
read Alderman Voos said:
This was a good road before the
trolley tracks were laid there, but since
the trolley company tore it up no eff
fort has been made to put the road
way back in condition, although citf-
zens Of that section have complained
repeatedly. It is time something was
done.'
Alderman voos then asked that the
members of the North End Improve
ment association be given the privi-
lege Of the floor. Mr.. Testny said that
residents in the vicinity OF Bethany
chapel were neglected by the Board of
Aldermen and that the neglect was
likely to continue had not the resi-
dents there banded together to voice
their protest

Of" said Mr.. Tesiny. THE trolley SER
vice is very bad understand a COM
mittee from this honorable body was
appointed to take the matter up with

that is the case we did not see any

went to the hearing there last week.

any chapel is in a deplorab1e condi-
ton and we want the Danbury &

write President Saunders of the COM
pany tomorrow that the Director Of
