NUUANU WATER NOT A MENACE

Considerable alarm at the purity of Nuuanu
water is manifested by certain Of the supervisors
and chemical analysis is proposed The same
alarm has been manifested several times in the
past and yet, notwithstanding the repeated at.
tacks on the Nuuanu water, physicians do not
trace to it any typhoid cases. or, if SO, do not
make corresponding report to the board of
health.
1t is quite true that there is decaying vege-
table matter in Nuuanu stream and in the series
of dams and possibly some decomposing animal
matter as we'll The board of health's analyses,
made at frequent intervals in the past, have
shown evidence of the presence Of nitrates and
nitrites in the water proving that it is not in an
entirely pure condition. But the last tests, tax
en-, the StarBulletin is reliably informed in Jan
nary of this year, found the condition of the wa
ter improving and the board of health has re-
ceiyed no complaints that at any time has the
Nuuanu supply been endangering the health of
Honolulu.
One water analysis or two analyses will prove
little, to the supervisors or anyone else. A series
Of tests must be conducted, just as the board of
health is conducting them. They have been tenn
porarily stopped by the board but will be taken
up IN IL rev Gays when the ldDOfdlOry, HOW
upset, is again in normal condition.
The ambition of the supervisors to safeguard
the purity of the city's water supply is entirely
worthy of praise and should be backed up by
public opinion in every step taken. For in
stance, there will always be more or less pos
sible menace in an unlined reservoir where the
water Gibbs and flows or stagnates over deep beds
Of decaying vegetable matter. Chemical treat
ment in such cases is wise precaution, and ulti-
mately it should be the aim of the city to have
reservoirs lined and free from such decaying
matter
But there is positive detriment to the fame of
the city in raising loud alarm about an alleged
impure water supply, and in declaring that the
water is an active disease-breeder disease-car-
rier. That is not the truth about Nuuanu water,
or it would have been shut out of the city mains
before now On the facts as known, the NuuanuI
supply is such as any city would find highly de
sirabe.

SUFFRAGE ON THE ADVANCE

The cause of equal suffrage has made such
strides in America within the past three years
that many conservative spectators now look for
ward to another amendment to the constitution,
providing the long-asked 'votes for women. "
There is no surprise occasioned by the action of
the senate committee which yesterday decided to
report the Chamberlain resolution favorably.
Senator Chamberlains resolution, calling for the
submission to the states of the constitutional
amendment, has been sure of a favorable report
ever since the makeup of the committee became
known. and as both houses contain many equal
suffragists, there is good reason for believing
that hard on the heels of the income tax amend
ment and direct election of senators amendment
there will come the suffrage amendment
Notwithstanding the rapid progress being
made i'm the national congress toward equal suf-
frace. the progress in the states is not less rapid
A few years ago the legislators of the various
states SHE'D away from suffrage resolutions. The
victories in Washington and California changed
ALI that Now the politicians are hurrying to the
front for the women, bent largely of course, on
making political capital. Equal suffrage has
brought about peculiar party lineups. In

less pursuit OF Mn,doon's men.
The exploit of Muldoon which is
perhaps best known is his trip far
up the Cotabata river to the strong
hold of Dato Piang, most powerful
and most notorious of all Moro datos.
Piang, who was at the time up in
arms against the Americans, sent
down word that his little daughter
was dying and that he begged the
Americans to send a doctor up to
tend her. Muldoon received the
message and lost no time in prepar-
ing to follow the guide Piang had
sent down. A hospital corps SER
geant ty The name of Anderson
agreed TO go along. The party were
over three days reaching Piang's
headquarters far up the Cotabata
river, and when they finally arrived
Piang's little daughter had breathed
her last However, Piang never for
got the magnanimity which led the
two soldiers to make the dangerous
and lonely trip and he has since that
time become one of the datos who
regard the Americans with more or
less iTiendliness
Besides serving in the Philippine
Scouts, Muldoons adventurous life
has led him into service with the

denounced as he has been as a
fakir and fraud, as one who preys
on the gullibility of his countrymen,
he is leaving in an undecided mental
state a number of persons who fol-
lowed his cures" here. While the
first-impression faith of a number of
his American critics has cooled so
that some VINO attributed to him oc-
cult powers believe now that he is
nothing more than clever mesmer-
list, the Japanese still view him as
having many of the superhuman at
tributes of Buddha.
He will be escorted to the steam
er by his countrymen. A few of
them quit their work on the planta-
tons when they heard of his report
ed marvellous powers and have re-
manned here since, not planning to
leave until he departed. They had
expected him to be arrested any
day on a charge of kahunaism, and
A. K. Ozawa, a prominent Japanese
attorney of Honolulu, was retained
soon after Hamaguchi arrived and
prepared to resist the arrest of his
client.
But he leaves tomorrow without
having been arrested. 1t is new
experience to him, his friends say.
They say he has been arrested
scores of times in the oriental coun-
tries, but was never convicted.
His first conquest will be San
Francisco. If successful there, that
is if he is not imprisoned, he will
tour the United States and Europe.
During his few days of practice"
in Honolulu, Hamaguchi is reported
to have treated about ESQ persons,

the nominal admittance fee of
twenty-five cents, which has been
received from several thousand per-
sons, will permit of the Japanese
leaving this city secure in the knowl-
edge that he has, at least, made
expenses.

A WILSON DEFEAT

Wilson's defeat in his New Jersey jury re
form bill is more important than appears on the
surface The proposed reform was to take away
from the sheriff's offices the duty of forming
jury panels and to give the duty to jury commits
sioners, thus taking the system out of poll
tics. The present jury system is a stronghold of

The morning paper is needlessly sensitive
about its wireless service, The Star Bulletn's
publication of the official British report had
nothing whatever derogatory to the local work
ings of the Poulsen wireless system, the report
merely stating that there was no evidence before
the examining commission as to the practicable
ity of Poulsen. 1t might be noted that the morn
ing paper a few months back took occasion to
'play up" the alleged 'Marconi scandal but we
have so far failed to see any report of the impair
