ran into native yards and spread as
far as the gate leading to the Kane

two workmen came and shut the gate

RISE TO EXPLAIN"

!. Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-I notice that In both of the
daily papers of the city there is quite
a htirrah being made over the fact
that Supervisor Hardesty has been do
ing a few days work on a sidewalk
that belongs to the city, and that he
is liable to lose his pay for the work
because the law says that no official
of the city shall be interested in or
work upon any contract for city and
county work. r.. "..:~ r.
While we have nothing to say re-
garding Hardesty's transgression of
the municipal law in the matter, we
would ask someone to rise and ex-
plain" how IL is that gentleman by
! the name of Ellsworth did a job of
grading on the lot that has been chos-
en- for the new fire engine house in
Kaimuki, put his bill in for $3.50 for
the work and it was paid. 80,
If we remember correctly, any mu-
nicipal work amounting to over $500
must be let by contract, advertising of
the same being done. OF course no
one will rise to explain" because
they don't have to in this city. There
does not seem to be backbone enough
, in anybody outside of an office-holder
to make kick and then kick the kick
home.
But let's put that all aside-whats
the use-all mere balloon essence =
but will someone rise and explain
how it was that when Mr.. Whitehouse
visited the grading job On the above
mentioned lot some two weeks after
the Swork had been started, and in
company with the road committee he
found two Japanese at work on the
| job, and when the road committee
asked him to rise and explain" he
said that he did not know they were
there doing any work on the job, and
! that he would fire" them right away.
1t would appear that either Mr.. White
house did know that the two Japan
! csc were at work on the job, or that
i he had not beer attending to business
i'm overseeing the work in his charge.
Don't all rise at once ito explain"

know what it is going to get in exchange for this
valuable right the right to use the streets, to
handle a rapidly-growing traffic.
President Pecks statement published today
in the form of communications to the Advertiser
and the Star Bulletin are frank and to the point
,on the question of stock watering that the gov
ernOr brought to the fore. But this is not the
real question so far as the franchise of the future
is concerned The real question is the character
of the service to be assured the public, the con-
troll by the public of the company's operations,
the building of extensions, etc. The public spe-
officially would like to know, in succnct, def
mite form, the cost of operation annually since
operation began, the profits, the amount of these
profits put back into the system, the amount paid
in dividends,-in other words, statement from
which can be easily gathered the facts as to in
creasing profits. For these facts are an essen
tial requisite to any conclusion as to the value
of the franchise right the company is now ask
ing. Some of these facts can be gathered from
President Pecks statement today, but the ordi-
nary man has neither the time nor the knowledge
to digest street-railway system figures
The degree of frapkness with which the Rapid
Transit Company treats the public, both in it's
statements on the past and present and it's
pledges and hopes for the future, will determine
the degree of confidence that the public will feel
in entrusting to the Rapid Transit the public
privileges for which it asks.

CIVIL SERVICE COMING

Senator Writ is carrying out good Demo
cratic doctrine in making move to put the To-
cal fire and police departments under civil serv-
ice OF course the senator will lose some politi-
cal followers thereby, for the stronghold of the
politicians now lis in the police department and
only the fact that as good a chief as Charles
Thurston heads the fire department has kept
that branch of municipal government from be-
coming lush pasture for the famished jObhunt-
ers But Writ says he is willing to take some
blackguarding by the professional politicians in
order to establish the principle of efficiency in
the police department and encourage it in the
fire department.
The new Democratic postmaster-g general, Bur-
Lesson, is going to shake some civil-service ideas
into his department, apparently, which further
emphasizes the fact that government is being
taken out of the realm of petty patronage. Bur-
Lesson has announced that fourthclass offices
will be placed under civil service Immediately
and second and third-class offices soon, with
frst-class offices ultimately going under the sys
TEN. Whether Burleson puts this plan into eff
feet until after he has seen to it that Democrats
hold all the good offices is another question, but
in any event he is doing service to the country.
Politics in the postoffice department has been
one of Uncle Sans most familiar and still nau-
seating scandals. Taft urged the placing of
fourth-class offices under civil service time
ago But long before that Grover Cleveland put
the postoffice on the road to efficiency by ex-
tending the civil service principle further than it
had ever before been extended.

Only those employers who volun-

ages which may be suffered by such
employer, through the failure to per-
form labor on account of sickness or
death, caused by the exacting nature
of the employment of such minors,
will be entitled to the benefits of this

TALK IT OVER IN PUBLIC

The Star Bulletin suggests a big public meet
ing to discuss the proposed Rapid Transit fran
chise.
Public hearings will undoubtedly be arranged
by the proper house and senate hearings, but
there is not room enough in any committee-room,
senate chamber or hall Of representatives for the
hundreds of interested citizens who wish to hear
discussed in public the arguments for and
against the bills. Rapid Transit bill No. 1, in
PRODUCED by Senator Chillingworth, and popu-
Iarly regarded the company's bill, and Rapid
Transit bill No 2, drafted and backed by Gov
ernor Frear and introduced by Senator Judd,
ought to be held up to the fullest light of pub
licitv and examined from all points
The governor has declared himself willing to
take the floor for his BILL and President Peck of
the Rapid Transit Company this morning APP
nroyed the idea of big public gathering to hear
the bills discussed.
WHY not in the opera house or other large
.ud;torium? Why not an open session of the
senate Judiciary committee, with the governor,
president Peck and others asked to be present
and talk on this question of vital public inter,
est?

A VIEW OF THE CHILD LABOR ACT

Honolulu, T. H., March Is, 1918.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin, J.: 49,.
Sir:-I wish to call your attention
to the fact that Act IA, recently pass
ed by the legislature and approved by
the governor March 14th, is drawn
and worded IN careless manner and
therefore its real meaning is liable to
be overlooked by some of our large
employers, resulting in a possible
failure on their part, to take full adj
vantage of its valuable provisions |
"$2,000,000 is hereby appropriated,
to pay the funeral expenses of those
children who fail to survive to the age
OF 16 years, providing that at least
five years of continuous labor has
been performed before death, in each
case" Very truly, -"

WATCH YOUR FIRES IN The WOODS!

Danger to Honolulu from forest fires might
appear ludicrCus TO the person who has seen the
immense forests of the mainland ravaged by
flames and then looks at the comparatively tree
less slopes Of the mountains back of this city, but
there is imminent danger nevertheless. Terri
torial Forester Ralph Hosmer points out the ne
cessity for guarding the watersheds, and we glad
I ly give space to his timely comment on the sub
ject:
"sThe fire resulted in total loss; there was no
insurance
"lf we read such an item after the destruction
of mans house or business property by fire,
we should conclude that there was something
radically wrong with his business methods. But
are we much better off here in Honolulu as con-
Germs the protection from fire of one of our most
important public assets-the forests that cover
cur Watersheds?
Last Thursday afternoon cloud of smoke
Z rising from back Of Pacific Heights attracted
more or less attention to the fact that there was
something wrong mauka- But probably few of
the people who looked up at it realized how
closely fire on the Honolulu watershed is La
bic to affect every resident of Honolulu.
"As it happened this particular fire was soon
put out HAD it got away and spread, through
the dry grass on the Pauoa slope until it reached
the forest, the result might>h have been most Sc
rious Had it occurredtas the next fire may, on
the ridges at the head q 1|anoa or Palolo valley,
the danger would hayt BEL still greater, because
of the closer proximity 81 these ridges to the
main body of forest
with the limited catchment area on which
Honolulu has to depend for its supply of water
does not do to take any chances in injuring the
cover of vegetation on the watersheds. For with
out the forest we cannot be sure of a. constant
supply of water.
"Back of Honolulu fire is the greatest danger
to be feared in the forest. Further it is dam
ger that can only effectively be met by the active
cooperation of everyone who has occasion to be
ia or near the forest Almost all forest fires are
the result of .thoughtlessness or ignorance. A
lighted match carelessly dropped may start a
fire in the dry grass or brush along the trail
Too large bonfire, especially if it is not closely
watched may throw sparks that rising wind
can carry a long way, while a fire set to burn
off grass that is not properly confined may get
away and spread over large area. The proven
ton Of forest, brush and grass fires is duty
which rests on every one. The rains of the last
few days have of course temporarily helped mat
tiers great deal, but the mountains will not stay
wet. The fire danger is one that is always with
us and that everybody should keep in mind"
