We have spent some time with you.
Walt Whitman,
We have read you through and through.

And you're mighty short on gush.
But you've surely made a blush.
Walt Whitman.

You have quickened many hearts,

You have won your way to fame,
In the literary game.

You are virile, you are bold.

And your pen is dipped in gold
Walt Whitman.
But we figure with a sigh
What would happen should we try
To get your sort OF stun by.
Walt Whitman.
'Twould be one blue envelope.
Walt Whitman.
Should we emulate your dope.
Walt Whitman.
Spicy stun they'll stand from you,
But this much is also true:
No one else could get it through,
Walt Whitman.

IMPEACHMENT OF
SHERIFF ROsEIs
NOW in THE AIR

Chairman E. E. Dodge CT the fire
and police civil service commission
has been advised that Sheriff Charles
Fl. Roses action in persistently re-
tanning Jack S. Kalakieia on his office
staff and refusing to appoint a man
from the list CT five eligibles given
him by the commission is sufficient
legal ground for instituting impeach-
ment proceedings against Rose.
Dodge stated today that he has not
Investigated this phase of the sftua-
ticn thoroughly, and that the sheriff
is to have ample time in which to for
mally tell the commission why he re-
fuses to appoint cleark from the
eligible list already in his possession
Because his own term Of office will
end January /, Chairman Dodge is in
clined to think the time is too short
to undertake the drastic action sug-
gested. for the present at least. 1t is
understood there is large possibility
that Dodge will be reappointed, how
ever, in which event the proposition
of impeachment would be brought be-
fore the new board Of supervisors
taking office in January. .>..--.
Although the sheriff promised, at
the meeting of the commission last
week, to submit in writing his rea-
sens fer refusing to appoint one of
the first five men on the eligible list
on which Kalakiela's name does not
appear, he had not filed the explana-
tion up to this morning. He orally
informed the board that none of these
i've we're satisfactory to him and that
he wanted the second highest five
names submitted to him. from which
he could make the appointment to his
office clerkship. Kalakiela's name is
among that second five. The latter is
and has been serving In the sheriff's
office the last four or five months,
though the supreme court has held
that his appointment was illegal and

Local Physicians Tell of Work
Being Done to Wipe Out
Great White Plague

Honolulans today are purchasing
Red Cross Christmas seals, the pro-
ceeds of the sale of which will be d.
yided toward the local and national
fight against the great white plague.
AS fCrerunIer of the stamp sale, the
meaning Of these lit lie red stickers
and the part they play each year in
the campaign against tuberculosis was
outlined before a large congregation
in Central Union church last night by
DR.. A. N. Sinclair, Or. W. c. Hobby,
Lorrin A. Thurston and James, A. Rath,
secretary and treasurer of the Ants
tuberculosis League.
= What thef Anti-Tuberculosis League
is doing to wipe out the dread disease
which, according to statistics compiled
by the board of health, is demanding
annually the lives of 300 residents OF
the territory of Hawaii, was told in
vigorous addresses 1t was with
intense interest that the members of
the vast congregation listened to the
remarks of the speakers. DR.. w. G.
Hobby presided, and introduced the
speakers. Each, in their turn, laid
special emphasis on the sale of the
Red Cross Christmas seals which is
going on today, and urged that all
those present assist in the campaign
by purchasing the stamps.
Explaining the work OF the Anti-Tu-
berculosiss League, and emphasizing
the point that $4,000 now is needed
by the organization to carry out the
new work which is before it, Doctor
Sinclair spoke, in part, as follows:
You are earnestly asked to aid the
sale of Red Cross seals. There are
many of you, no doubt, who are ready
and willing to do this right now with
out any explanation of why you should
do so-you know this money is being
used to a good purpose, the prevention
and cure of the too prevalent disease,
tuberculosis.
1.-THE funds derived from the sale
of the Red Cross seals might be terms
ed the result of individual effort in
the suppression of tuberculosis. The
government contributes to the combat
ing of the disease but there are many
ways In which money can be used for
which government funds are made
quate or unavailable. The contingent
cies of the fight against tuberculosis
increase in number as time goes on
there is an inadequacy of government

tecting yourself. but you are doing
good to your fellow men. What many
of you are able to give may seem of
little consequence one way or the
other, but is exactly what this method
of raising funds is for--to let every
body help. no matter how small q
contribution he is able to give"
Lorrin A. Thurston delivered q pow
erful address dealing with the fight
which now is being made In the terri
tory against tuberculosis. and con-
cluded with an urgent request for as
sistance in the campaign for the sale
of Red Cross Christmas seals which
commenced today Explaining the
Red Cross seal idea, James A. Rath,
secretary and treasurer OF the Anti
tuberculosis League, said:
These seals sell for cent apiece.
so that they are within the reach of
all. Ninety per cent OF the money
realized on these seals remains tn the
territory for the fight against tuber-
cuIosis: 10 per cent goes to the Amer
lean Red Cross, in return for which
they supply us with the seals and adj
vertising material we need, and take
back such seals as remain uHsold
# know there have been number
of calls on the people Of this terri
tory, to all OF which there has been
generous response; but when we
consider thai over 300 OF our own
fellow citizens are being taken from
us every year, am sure 1t viii move
the people here to respond generous

funds due to lack of appropriation or
financial stress in the community, re-
ducing the revenues, and it is to make
up this deficit that the money of the
Red Gross seal campaign is employed.
Apart from an actual necessity, the
purchase of these seals affords every
body an opportunity to aid in the work
of suppressing tuberculosis by 1ndfvid-
ual contribution in a way that can
least be felt by his or her pocket and
that this opportunity is worth taking
advantage of rests upon two factors:
First, that to suppress tuberculosis is
worthy aim, and second, that the
money contributed is properly and ad-
vantageously made use Of
THE records of the anti-tuberculo-
sis bureau, which works in conjunction
with the An;i-Tuberculosis League,
show what has been done in. the past.
While much of the work has been &C
complished by government funds, a
great deal has alsJ been done from
the Red Cross seal campaign. With
this money a completely organized

self. thereby saving the expense of du-
plicating statistics and at the same
time affording the bureau the benefit
of being in closest touch with the de-
tails necessary for its campaign Thus
the money obtained from private
sources has been used to the best ad-
vantage for such emergencies as were
unable to be met'by government APP
preparations, while on the other hand,
these funds were conserved when gov.
eminent funds were available.
>"Newspaper publicity is one Of the
most efficient weapons used in the
fight against tuberculosis. It is car
ried on by the help of the funds de-
rived from the sale of Red Cross seals.
1T is safe to say that at the pres
ent moment the bureau is able to state
accurately what has become of over
80 per cent of the cases reported to
it since the campaign began. 1t can
tell whether the patient is dead-and
if 50 when and where he died; or if
living, il knows his exact residence
and the conditions under which he is
living. The system is to be extended
even more in the near fHtule if funds
will permit of it. Sever II pastors of
various religious denominations have

by some Japanese residents. There is
a crying need for a nurse in the out.
lying districts of Oahu, which has no
supervision at present and for which
there is no available funds.
THE various institutions identified
with the treatment of tuberculosis are
all in close touch with the bureau.
These are the Leahi Home and Pa Ola
day camp, in Honolulu; the PuumaiIe
Home in Hilo, the Kula Sanatorium
On Maui. the Waimea and Lihue hos
pitfalls on Kauai. J..
cat the end of the year 1913 the
Leahi Home faced a deficit of over
$4,000. through taking in all patients
that applied for admission, irrespec,
tive of it's finances. AS this was the
utmost the home could stand, it be-
came necessary to limit the number
of patients in the home at any one
