Sir:-ThC story in the Star-Bullptn
last night regarding the little Sanders
boy who was badly hurt in some man
ner in connection with jumping on or
off one of the cars of the Rapid Tran
sit is a story that NAV be repeated
any day in the year, and the reason
that it is not so is probably on ac-
count Of that providence that watches
over fools and children.
The children of this city have con-
tracted the very bad as we'll as most
dangerous habit of jumping on empty
trucks and drays as they pass along
the Streets The list of deaths Of chill
dron that have fallen from between the
stakes of a truck and in front of the
heavy hind wheels and had their lives
crushed out is a long one.
Generally the driver, knowing that
he has no load on his truck. pays lit
tie or no attention to what is going on
back of him, and in many instances is
unconscious Of the fact that there are
children on his vehicle, and when the
little one falls from the truck in front
Of the wheel he is not aware of it I'M
til the little life has been sacrificed.
There is 4 law in California that
fOrbids a child mounting wagon that
is passing along the street, and the
law is enforced If am not mistaken,
there is a law here to the same effect
but it is sleeping nicely with the hun
dreds OF others, and in the meantime
the little children are flirting with the
| i - Il 81,
who do know it ar" Indifferent to it.
This state Of affairs can be seen on
the Waialac road any afternoon. and it
does seem that the mounted police Of
fic"r who puts in his time at tn" cor
ner Of King street and the McCully
tract could be better employed in the
Kamuki district.

ANOTHER VIEW or THE QUESTION

| Editor Honolulu Star-Bul'"tin,
Sir:-ln regard to the threatened
trouble between the local steamship
| company and the masters and mates
organization, think that every means
should be exhausted t" settle th"
| trouble htfnr" there - All open rUp-
ture and Otht rs are made to suffer be-
yOnd the radius of the two principals
to the controversy.
A workman on the road or u preSl
| dent Of bank has the RIGHT to quit
work if h" thinks TIA; l." IS not GEL
| ting satisfactory wageS-that is, he
| has a right to strike for better pay.
! His right to strike for other reasons.
for the betterment of the conditions Of
| his labor, for shorter hours, in protest
| against the treatment h" is rpCCiN ing
| from some of his fellow WOrkmPn.
| which he may think is unfair, is be-
yOnd question. His rights of COmbi-
nation and the use of argument and
persuasion to induce other branches
of labor or associates to join him in a
strike for betterment are acknowledge
ed. These rights have been his for
years and years, and will continue to
| be SO, and when exercised in a sane
manner and in a just cause have al
ways resulted in benefit to the COM
munity in general.
AS d general thing the sympathy Of
: the public is with the wOrkingman or
the union when the right to strike is
used for good cause and in a manner
I within the law that protects the
| rights, property and personal safety of
other people,
But there are two occasions when
! the public quickly turns its sympathy
into INSTRUMENTATION the demands
of the striker or strikers are unfair or
beyond reason. and when they turn to
acts of violence to assist what other
wise seems to be losing fight
have followed the recent local
trouble between the steamship line and
masters and mates fairly. close, and |
must confess that, to me, the demands
made by the local harbOr are not fair
and reasonable. They simply amount
to diCtatiOn to tho steamship company.
and that has been tried too often by
stronger organizations than the local
harbor, and they have lost out every
time.
There is no donht that the steamship
company has planned some radical
changes in the personnel Of its Off
GERS aflOat, and it must have good roa
sons to do so, for the present officers
are old hands at the business. and thai
irter-island sailing and handling til"
landings on the variCVs islands is in
a class by itself.
1t is we'll known that there are
many in the local harb0r that DO nOt
favor a strike, and that if a Strlh" Is
called and it is not a success. they
will be thrown on their beam ends. 7"

need FOR POLICE SUPERVISION

The Hoch, the new Japanese paper, is taking
up good cause in urging young Japanese men
not to oitcr around the tca-hOuSPS. 1t appears
that from idIing around the tea-houscS and get

of the young men fast drift into more serious Gle,

cnt angle is offered in the Chinese cOffcr-Sa-

young Hawaiian girls.

SqORT.BALLOT PROGRESS

The general &C :mmItrr which is takin" up re-.
vision Of the city charter made the right move
last night toward >;,fryu"i'lrI ''rrrlII" PLAN
The drafting committee had proposed Il TWEEN
ty per ccntum signature Ct the vote for delegate
. put to Il recall election petition, as sufficient to
make such an election operative. The Star Bull
letin opposed any such easy X call measure, and
the discussion in the committee last night
showed that some mC mbClS favor high aS fGrt
and fifty pc" cent. The committee finally com
promised IN thirty per cent, with the added II =
striction that each Sgnrr must 90 to the city
clerks office and sign Il separate petition. The
idea Of thS,-and it is a good onr,-iS to prevent
the wholesale circulation of petitions and the
wholesale procuring of signatures. As the recall
kprovsiOn now stands, it is wisely restricted.
The compromise appears to be fair
Some misunderstanding still exists as to what
vote the thirty per cent is to be based on. APP
parently members of the committee vary. Some
think the required number is thirty per cent Of
the vote that the official sought to be recalled
received in the last preceding election. Others
think that it is thirty per cent of the combined
vote for the candidates for the same office This
of course is matter of detail and will be settled
when the drafting committee submits fuller
statement.
The committee is well divided on the plan Of
election SO far as the commissioners are con-
cerned. Two general ideas are proposed. One
is that the commissioners should be elected as
general commissioners, and that this elected
body should parcel out the municipal duties
among it's members. The other is that the COM
miSSiOnpIS should be elected to specific offices

TUBERCULOSIS AMONG ALASKAN NATIVES

Tuberculosis will exterminate the native pop
uIation of Alaska in the course of sixty to sew
enty years if not eradicated at once says DIR.
Emil Krulish, of the public health service, re-
porting to the United States commissioner of ed
ucation Il am of the opinion that Is per cent
of the entire population is infected with tuber,
culosis in either the active or the latent stage.
With the advent Of the white man into the terri,
tory the native has contracted his diseases, with
the result that tuberculosis and other diseases
are degenerating and depopulating the race.
DR.. krulsh has just returned from seven
months trip through Alaska where he went on
special detail to examine the physical condition
Of the natives. He found the home conditions re-
sponsible for much of the misery that exists
While i'm some cases native houses compare ia
vorably with those of white people, DIR. krulish
tells how in the crowded, unventilated rooms OF
most of the villages all eat from the same dish
drink from the same teapot spout, use the same
towel, and expectorate on the same floor. 1t is
under conditions like these that the native popu
lation of Alaska decreased IA ) per cent between
1900 and 1916 .=.. ..-.~

INTELLIGENT ROAD.BUILDING

Hawai's roads will come in for good deal
of attention during the present session of the leg
islature. There is already talk Of Il plan for a
territorial highway commission, organized along
the lines of the board of harbor commissioners,
in order to facilitate bodybuilding throughout
the territory.
The goodroads movement in the United
States has been marked feature of public work
in the last seven or eight years. The present
year promises to be the greatest in the history OF
the movement for the improvement of the public
roads of the United States, according to the re-
ports received from all parts of the country by
Secretary Wilson of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. A joint committee OF Con
gress is engaged i'm an investigation of the feast
biity of federal aid in the construction, improve
ment and maintenance of public highways and
a number of the state legislatures now in session
are considering good-road legislation. In con-
nection with the general impetus that the ogod-
road movement has recently had in all parts of
the country the director of the office of public
roads says:
ssToo much stress cannot be laid upon the i'm
portance of maintenance in connection with the
work of improving the roads. The people i'll
nearly all the states are filled with enthusiasm
for road improvement and are spending enor-
nous sums of money in the construction OF SUI
perb roads, and vet almost without exception
they are making little provision to care for the
roads after they are built This is true not only
in the various counties, but under many of our
state highway departments.
"To maintain the roads in good condition
year after year requires a considerable annual
outlay, but this outlay is infinitely less than the
loss which must fall upon the people eventually
if they allow their roads to go to utter ruin. The
thing for all advocates of good roads to do is to
urge continuous, systematic maintenance and the
setting aside every year of an amount per mile
estimated by the engineer i'll charge to be suffi-
cient for the proper maintenance Of the road-a
course which must make for economy and eff,
cheney"

from headquarters are To he credited. Chief
among these has been the lack of warm cOopera
ton between the different circles Gf the city
This has been due, il would seem. largely to lack
of effective permanent organization. The tenn.
lp1rarv organization Of the Carnival committee
has done big work well, but it has been ham.
pered by the very fact that it is but temporary.
In older cities, where carnivals have been
given for three and four hundred wears. and
where they are Il well-recognized feature Of the
|city'S existence, these difficulties have been
avoided by means of permanent organization.
In New Orleans there are twelve of these soce-
tics, highly developed, with the dual functions
of preparing for the great carnival parades and
giving the equally famous carnival balls. In the
older cities of the continent, the same idea has
been carried to even greater degree The organi-
zation never dies, but goes on from year to year
doing it's work with ever-increasng efficiency,
and constantly increasing momentum gained by
the weight Of the past.
Here in Hawaii there are unrivalled facilities
for producing something absolutely new; some
thing that the world has never seen before With
climate far superior to that of New Orleans or
Venice Nice; with a friendly ocean, ready at
Ill times to lend itself to the plans; with the
aills and pals as setting; and with the most
varied population of any city in the world from
which to draw, all that seems lacking for the
masterpiece of carnvals year after year is effect
i've organization.
1t has been suggested, and the StarBulletin
sees nothing but good in the idea, that the peo-
pie Of Hawaii form permanent carnival organ
ization, the president of which shall have sole
charge of the annual pageant or pageants, sub
ject to the confirmation of board of directors.
That this board have the duty of selecting some
subject or subjects for presentation in allegori-
al floats, ashore and at sea; and that some def
mite plan be adopted for raising the necessary
iunds.a
In short, the Carnival should be placed on a
business basis; the present hitor-miss system
or lack of system-abandoned and in it's place a
concrete, clear-cut plan of procedure In this
way only can Hawaiis carnivals reach their full
growth, and in this way only can they be made
TO bring to the city the full benefits of which
they are capable

NEED OF A PUBLIC BEACH ca


Honclulus need of a large public beach was
never SO forcibly shown as yesterday, when a
crowd estimated at from five to seven thousand
people attended the historical pageant at Wal
kiki
Even though the 0utrigger club grounds were
used by the general public and the guests of the
hotels were accommodated On hotel lawns and
piers, there was not room enough for the pageant
and the people too Part of the beauty and much
Of the symbolic character of the event were lost
because of the lack Of space and the lack of seat
ing accommodations for the spectators.
Beach space is fast disappearing here Every
year the need of public beaches is emphasized. 1t
would he well worth while for the city to take
up systematic effort to fill this need, In years
to come the effort new will be even more worth
while.
