.HOWLS OF GRAFT

II

Barrere has established the license
bureau at lis place of business, and

cupid in this city from nov en-. f.:
Some four months ago Treasurer
Conkling abolished the system of is

district was named agent, and for

was given the job. . -.
"Of course Treadway got the fees
for issuing licenses" continued Conk-
/ ling, but he did his own work In
this office also. OF course the fees
should go into the territorial treasury,
but there is no provision for this I'M
der the law, and until the law is
changed the fees will go to the agents
las they always have done.
There has beer no graft in any
sense since the new system was es-
tabIished. But there was graft, and
plenty of It before. I stopped that.

whom the least irregularity means the
loss of their jobs-and they know It.
Fer Honolulu the most logical place
for the license bureau is right here
in this office, and so put it here when
| appointed Mr.. Treadway. Treadway
is thoroughly responsible, and even If
he were not, couldn't have afforded
to have done anything crooked--he
was under too close observation and
his job was at stake 1t wouldn't
have made any difference who / APP

nothing in convenience or efficiency
by the change, but probably 1t will
be satisfied now that Treadway is
out.
Mr. Conkling was inclined to be
rather bitter regarding the innuendoes
which he thinks have been directed
towards him and his office.

PATHFINDER IS
PICKING HOLES in
new TRAFFIC BILL

VIII the fault-fnders be able TO
pick enough holes in the new traffic
ordinance to make il necessary for the
supervisors to revise it and reprint
#? The question is being asked. and
while ii is being asked the fault-find.
ers are at work, picking holes, point.
ing cut apparent slips, etc.
One Of the important ones so far
mentioned is section sc. which re.
quires an automobile remaining sta.
tIonary at a curb, at any time, to dis.
play something mot mentionedl Civ.
ing a reasonably white light at the
front and red light at the rear.
Undoubtedly the idea was to cause
such lights to be displayed during the
hours CT darkness. but by a slip the
ordinance says at any time. The
intention Of section 46 is clear. but
the omission of phrase may cause
some trouble. II says that the owner
or driver of any heavy vehicle shall
be responsible for any damage which
a highway may sustain on account OF
the violation Of the ordinance. The in
tention is clean-to hold the driver
or owner Of heavy machine respon-
sible for street damages caused by
the machine in its violation of the
ordinance. BY the wording. however,
the owner or driver is responsible
for any such damage, without refer.
ence to whether or not their machine
did 1t, or had any part in doing it..
II says that the owner or driver, ETC.,
shall be responsible for all damage
which said highway or Place may sus
tain as result of violation of any
provision of this ordinance.
But aside from the few little slips.
tho ordinance is declared to cover the
field completely. 1t mentions and pro-
yides for about every known vehicle,
except the perambulator. II defines
and describes and prescribes A ga
rage, it says, is stable for motor
cars IA good description in itself
1t fixes two congested districts, one
being special district where the
traffic is heavier than in other places
and where driving must be at lower
speed and where automobiles can not
stand by the curb unattended
The ordinance will be UP for sec
ond reading Tuesday.

Emergency Currency
Under Law

WASHINGTON = Designs for the
new fashions in paper money to be is
sued by the government under the
currency act, have been prepared by
experts of the bureau of engraving
and printing for submission to John
Shelton Williams
This money may not be needed for
months, but Director Ralph OF the
burear will have the designs ready
within a few days and ais soon as
Mr.. Williams has secured the approval
Of Secretary McAdeo tho plates will
be made and few hundred millions
will be sent whirling off the big
presses of the bureau
There will be three kinds Of new
currency one for emergency pur-
poses succeeding the present, but
never used emergency currency, one
for the federal reserve banks issued
against United States bonds with the
calculations privileges and the third
one year gold notes to be issued to
reserve bands against United States
bonds but not to have the circulation
privilege
The designs. contemplate the present
size of paper, money. although the
plan of the Taft administration for
smaller bills may be reflected in flu
tUre issues. The law authorizes notes
of S., $40, 500, $50 and 500. Present
designs would have the S. note bear
the portrait of Lincoln; the $40 that
OF Cleveland; the $40 that of Jeffer-
son and the $50 that of Grant
Varied phases of human activity
are depicted On the backs of the
notes. AS provided by law, currency
issued to particular reserve banks will
hear serial numbers as distinguishing
marks.

REPORTS ON DISEASES.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 14.-In the
biennial report of the State Board
OF Health to the Governor, adopted
to-day, comment is made on the
fact that the first board was APP
pointed by Gov McCreary during his
first term, and that now, under the
Act of 1910, the board for the
first time is able to give in exact
figures an actual invoice of the
state of health OF our population"
The report shows that in the thir-
ty-three months OF the operation of
the vital statistics law there have
been reported 1885 births and S3,
rs deaths, of the latter 23,S66 be-
ing caused by preventable diseases.
For each of these deaths, says the
report, there were twenty-six cases

statement referred to. And am
forced to believe that he, in his
Jealous support of the proposed sys-
tenn of rural credits, underestimated
the Glass-Owen law in its relation
to the agricultural interests of the
country.
Il agree with Mr.. Moss that a
well instituted rural credit system
would be even more beneficial to
the farmers than the Glass owen
law, or any other national banking
system. But l must contend that the
Glass-Owen law is a great improve
ment over the former plan.

Chairman d. L. O'Sullivan, of the
State Prison Board, is planning a
prison farm for the occupation OF
600 or more conyicts, in the event
the constitutional amendment per
hitting convict labor on the roads is
declared invalid. ~
The Court of Appeals has held
that the amendment permitting
changes in the system of taxation is
void because the Secretary of State
failed to advertise it the proper time
in advance of the election, and, as
exactly the same facts exist relative
to the convict amendment, it is as
sumed that that amendment will be
killed when it comes before the
courts.
Mr.. O'Sullivan said all the State
conyicts are now working under the
contract system The Prison Board
is anxious to get away from that
system, but it is, of course, deter
mined to keep the conyicts busy md
self-supporting. "A number of con
tracts will probably be renewed and
the Prison Board will ask the pur-
chase OF a 1,00O-acre farm on which
600 convicts could be employed to
raise supplies for the State institu-
tions. North Carolina makes a prof
it of 100000 annually out of her
convict farm.

been in the field conducting cam

er.
At a charge of 81 for each ex
animation the meteorological labora
tory has paid the expenses OF the
department for five years.
In the course of its annual report
the board says:
"As a concrete example of presen
waste OF energy and misdirected eff
fort | submit photograph taken
during schools hours in one Of our
common schools where the teacher
was giving lesson in music to a
class OF students every one of whom
and the teacher himself were SUI
fering from a preyentable disease
about which in their entire school
course from the county school
through the State University they
would not hear single word UNI
less accidentally! The miserable text
book OF physiology and hygiene, the
use OF which is required in our com
mon schools by law, gives page on
page of facts and names to be mem
crlzed which are useless even to
doctors and neglects every principle
OF right living which should be, and
is placed by progressive teachers as
the first. last and most important
lesson to be impressed upon the
growing child.
Continuing the report says:
"All preventable diseases are
spread, directly or indirectly, by the
discharges from the human body.
Except tuberculosis, diphtheria and
other affections OF the lungs and air
passages, in which the seed or
germs are carried in the sputum,and
diseases of immortality, most
of them are due to lack of care In
the disposal of the discharge from
the bowels and kidneys. Moses, the
first great sanitarian, so fully rec
ognized the danger from this neglect
that he imposed the immediate bur-
iaI of all such discharges as re-
ligious duty, and required each per-
son to carry a paddle with him for
that purpose, with an improved
health and life record for his peo-
pie which seems incredible. This
salutary practice appears to have
been lost to the world. Except in
such parts of modern cities as have
sewer systems, the country at large
still tolerates the familiar and dan
gerous customs in this regard that
has come down from ages, with cpl
denies and pestilences inseparable
from disregarded Of the laws OF ma
ture and decency. Probably no peo-
pie, even among the most barbar-
Gus, have persisted in filthier prac-
tices in the disposal OF their dis
charges than, the inhabitants OF un--
severed cities, towns and country
districts in the United States, includ-I
ing Kentucky. To say nothing of the
high sick and death rate every
month in every year from typhoid
fever and other unquestionable filth
diseases, 40 per cent. of the thous-
ands examined from every section OF
