the Department of Agriculture, the ex- pertinent stations, the state universi- ties, boards of health, civic organiza- tions and the public press ought to win it's way into every rural home that has any ties whatever with civilized communities.
 The better understanding of the farmers unavoidable responsibility to- ward his distant fellow citizen has in turn reacted to advantage in respect to his own environment. As recent writer has expressed it: Fortunately with the general advance in rural standars of living in recent years there has come about a considerable awak- ening of interest among farmers and of rural communities along these lines, as well as among the public as whole. Modern meth ods of communication and travel have to great extent brought the rural dis tricts into closer relationship with the towns and cities. The farmer learns of the improved general health and reduction in the death rate re- sulting from the decrease of the ra- wages of contagious disease, which has been brought about through the introduction of such preventative mea- sures as a sanitary water supply, proper methods for the disposal of sewage and garbage, and mosquito and fly extermination, and wishes to avail himself of these benefits.
 The country medical practitioner we'll realizes the futile idealism of much that emanates from an urban desk. Sometimes the most elemen- tary sanitary conditions offer puzzl- ing problems when the expense and feasibility of the proposed remedies are carefully studied. Too often the city reformer forgets the enforced monotony of it, the lack of recreation and the excessive hours of work which farm conditions may entail in some sections and at certain seasons. There are social as well as economic forces involved in farm life, says The Jour- nal of the American Medical AssOcia- tion. The reform of rural sanitation, which is undeEiably called for in some parts of the United Stats, must not overlook the personal element so strong in the country dweller. With the exigencies of the situation kept in mind the campaign for improvement in rural sanitation is likely, in the words of a re :ent writer, to do much to make farm life at once more prof. table, more healthful and more attrac- tive, and by so doing contribute to safeguard the food supply, and there fore the health and the efficiency of the nation.

RURAL. SANITATION

In 1909 the Commission on Country yIife reported that "the farm should be the most healthful place in which to live, and there are numberless farmhouses, especially of the farm owner class, that possess most excel lent modern sanitary conveniences. Still it is a fact that there are also numberless other farmhouses, espec- ially of the tenant class, and even numerous rural schoolhouses, that do not have the rudiments of sanitary arrangement Health conditions in many parts of the open country, there fore, are in urgent need of better ment."
 The problem of rural sanitation calls for consideration from two points of view; that of the possible danger of objectionable surroundings and un- hygenic practices of the individual on the farm and his immediate neighbors and that of the menace which insani- tary conditions may present indirect ly to urban communities. The sani- tary relation of the farm to the city involves almost entirely the possibili- ty of the spread of actual infection from country to city through milk, meat, vegetables and other farm pro- ducts. A few years ago it was not uncommon for farmers to meet with a spirit of resistence any suggestion of hygenic improvements which were planned to diminish the danger of the farm as starting point for the spread of disease. At times there has ac- tually been aggressive opposition to proposed regulations the object of which was defensible from every un- biased point of view. The milk in dustry could furnish many instances in recent times of actual refusal on the part of farm communities to supply an essential food to the market under conditions that to-day are everywhere accepted as rational and necessary.
 A few years ago the apparent in- difference of the rural community to the needs of the urban population de- pendent on the farm for a healthful food supply could be excused on the basis of ignorance. Today there is no excuse for apathy toward the teachings of modern sanitation. The campaign of education that is being waged throughout the United States by all manner of forces-municipal, state and nationality agencies con- nected with the Public Health Service,

, If there were no remedy, Of course
there could be no help for it, but we
get it from good authority that both
President Wilson and Secretary Lane
have promised to work for the sus-
pension of this law just as soon as
Congress meets. if it can be shown
that Hawaii is agreed and earnestly
desires its suspension.
There can be no question but that
Hawaii to a man wants to get rid OF
this law and what, | would like to
ask. is to prevent US all from rising
I'D as one man and demanding the
suspension.
If this were done it is confidently
asserted that there would be an end
of this trouble in :'ouble quick time.
May we ask that Gov. Pinkham look
into this matter; and as he has prom
ised to work for the interest of the
whole people, there is no doubt but
that he will do so.
And with the aid Of the papers, the
AID Club, the Promotion Committee.
and the other public-spirited organi-
zation, public and business men.
there will be such a showing that no
one will be able to resist it.
Indeed, no greater incentive, no
more opportune moment, can ever
present itself than the present time
to make a stand, for not only the
net''s of the country and the interest
of the people demand it. but the pres
ident, the highest authority in Amer
lea, has promises to see that we get
it, providing We can prove that the
whole country needs it.
And now would like to ask if
some great petition could not be
signed, or some great demonstration
could not be made 10 prove beyond
a shallow of doubt that this is un-
uuestionably the will and desire Of
the people of the Territory Of Hawaii.
1t is unfortunate that anyone should
lie made to suffer loss by the sus-
pension of this law, but the interest
of the many is paramount to that Of
the few.

THE coAsTWtsE LAW.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: There is probably no single
thing on these islands that is so OBJ
jectionable and so generally con
demned by the great majority of peo-
pie. as the application Of the coast
wise law to the territory Of Hawaii.
This law has a more baneful effect,
arA a wider application, than is gen
orally supposed
For instance, it is generally thought
that the greatest hardship that is
causes is to the passenger traffic, aEl
which is indeed no light or small mat
ter.
But this is as nothing in compari-
son to the freight traffic.
Very few people know, or even be-
gin to realize, the importance of this
subject, or do they know that the ex-
ira cost OF shipping the sugar. alone
through this cause probably is not
less than half a million dollars a year
This extra cost is caused by the
lack of competition, and consequently
they impose a higher rate, as the
shippers are in position to charge
what they Ike.
If we had free competition, it is
stated by those who know, the present
freight rates could be cut in two; and
as this rate would apply to all the
various products that are exported
from these islands it would effect, or
benefit, the whole country.
Now, there are a few, probably a
half-dozen men, who are enriched by
this law, and the question is asked
is such a state of things to be per.

WHEN THE hen GOES TO COLLEGE

One of the steps which must be taken in the
process of securing higher egg yield is care
full culling out of the lightest layers. Expert
poultrymen state that the average hen in the
united States lays about six dozen eggs per year.
The record Of a flock of forty hens, secured by
use of the trap'nest kept by a college poultry
department, shows an average yield of 30 eggs
per year fit be fact that the 72egg hen pays
her way and returns some profit to her owner,
the hen that lays three times as many eggs must
be a very profitable fowl.
While several things are required to raise the
general average Of q flock to SO high a standard
of production, very material increase may be
secured by giving careful attention to few o.

the most important One of these is cullmg out
the most unproductive hens. And the only way
to be positive that the poorest and not the best
layers are disposed of is to keep individual rec
Ords, which is done most satisfactorily by use of
the trapnest.
If the right choice is made of the hens to be
eliminated, the process is both rapid and mex
pensive. A certain number of fowls is required
for table use in the home and for the poultry
market. But very little is gained by haphaz-
ard selection of the hen for these purposes. In
diyidual records, as revealed by the trapnest,
have been found by the College of Hawaii pOul-
try department to be the only unfailing method
of revealing the Improbable hen And this
method is earnestly recommended to the poul
trymen of Hawaii that purpose to increase the
average egg yield by culling out the poorest lay
ers from the flock.

DIsPLGCNG A GOOD OFFICIAL

: 1t is in response to no general demand from
Hawaii that Collector of Internal Revenue Cot
trill is to be displaced. Nor is it because of any
dissatisfaction over the character of his work or
the administration of his branch of the federal
service in this territory
If Collector CottrilI is to be displaced, as def
mite news from Washington is that he will be,
the move will be merely in line with the passing
of the national administration from Republican
to Democratic hands and the consequent redis-
tribution of federal patronage.
In Hawaii there are few indeed who will well
come the change Mr.. Cottrill has made an un-
usually good record here-and that in spite of
the handicap of racecolor under which he Ia
sbors. He is well-liked federal official and so
far as we know his efficiency has never been the
subject of the slightest question. Certainly he
has been very widely Endorsed for retention in
office, the Endorsements being On no partisan
basis Democracy IN Hawaii has not clamored
for Cottrill's place, the business interests have
not asked for his dismissal, other officials have
not been dissatisfied with his work. sr-1~e II
It is too early to say that he is to be discrim-
mated against because of color but it is not too
early to watch for the appearance in the nation
al Democratic party of prejudice against negro
office-holdefs The reasons of the administra-
ton for superseding him will doubtless be given
in due time. Judgment may be suspended until
then, but it is not aniss to say now that this
community and this territory will be sincerely
sorry to see good officials displaced for politics
only, Yet such are the fortunes of party poll
ties Political debts must be paid if national adj
ministrations are to retain cohesion. We can
but hope that the next collector of revenue will
be as capable as Mr.. Cottrill
That no steps have been taken to supersede
Collector of Customs Stackable is doubtless due
to his efficient work in that department of the
federal service He has been strongly indorsed
and no reason has appeared why he should not
be retained 49,. - ..... .

clares that he is through with booze forever. His
companion at the time of the murder that is not
yet entirely explained has been given a long
term in prison at hard labor. The men have been
held several months for trial. at heavy expense
to the territory Why? Because society allows
booze to be sold to whomsoever has few cents
to buy. AS a matter of fact, for the moments of
maudlin pleasure given to those who drink the
whole community is heavily taxed.
