WHY NOT SOME FINES?

Honolulu, T. H., Sept. IL, 1914.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: There has been a great deal of
discussion of late regarding the viola
ton of the tra1nc ordinances, ETC.. par
ticularly relative to speeding and reck-
lessness.
Notwithstanding the vigilance, of
the police department, altogether too
many accidents, due to speeding or
carelessness, continue to occur. Seem
ingly the majority of those who drive
cars do not mind being fined if they
are apprehended in the violation of an
ord nance. ~, Z
It was thoroughly demonstrated in
a certain city OF my acquaintance that
those people who care nothing for a
fine do not relish the idea of spending
time in penal servitude. By supplant-
ing the fine system almost entirely by
Jail sentences wonders were worked
in reducing such violations.
A Jail sentence is annoying, to say
the least, and to those who do not
mind paying fine the knowledge that
they would spend some time in Jail
if caught breaking the law would cause
more or less thought, at any rate.
If the police court of this city would
try this idea out, there would be a
startling reduction in the number Of
violations of the traffic ordinances.
Yours for public safety,
KENNEDY HODGE.

TIPS FOR SOMEBODY.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin. f
Sir: suppose, like the majority of
the people of Honolulu, have been
too busy, or think | have, to give the
proper amount of thought to promotion
work for the benefit of Hawaii This
morning was standing near the gang
plank of the Manchuria when she
locked at Pier with one of the larg-
est passenger lists brought to the port
in many months. The passengers
came treoping ashore, many of them
glad to get their feet on American
soil again, and otherwise in a mood
to be generous. But many of them
were at a loss as to which way to
turn. Some of them did not seem to
have an idea just how to get off the
pier. That was certainly psychology
cal moment for Honolulu 1t was the
moment when somebody, especially en-
gagged for the work, should have taken
those people, f1guratively, by the hand
and at least started them ION their
way" to seeing Honolulu. The ship
was foreman here till nine O'Clock the
next day, and with proper promotion
stunts every one of those passengers
could be made vehicle for the boost
ing of Hawaii, or at least as much OF
it as they saw in the limited time
ashore
Putting aside the fact that promo
tion promoters were conspicuous by
their absence at the shore end of the
gangplank, would it not be a good idea
to train few young men in the art
of taking care" of timid tourists that
arrive by the ocean liners? The d.
recting of tourists is not mere job,
it is an art, and one that will pay big
returns to this city if employed. The
work of such corps of tourist direc.
tors" would amount to blamed sight
more than putting in lot OF expen.

A little while, ago q hotel proprietor
from Pasadena, California, stated at

that he knew of no promotion stunt

keep him there for the purpose of tell

TROUBLES ARE
THEPORTION OF
SECY. THAYER

Secretary Thayer's election-day
troubles began at s O'Clock this morn
ing, when he received word from
Watertown that the election officials
had opened up the clubhouse az that
place. instead of the schoolhouse. The
latter Is the location authorized By
the secretary as the official polling
place.
John Wise entered an early con-
plant at the secretary's Office this
morning to the effect that in a down
town precinct where heavy voting is
expected and where fifteen voting
compartments were installed to ac-
commodate the rush. only one inspec.
tor appeared to be on the job, and
he was permitting the voters to use
only five compartments. Wise said
that this man was unable to fold the
ballots and insert them in the box
as fast as the voters marked them
and passed them in.
The chairman Of another precinct
inspectors committee telephoned IN
that he was handicapped seriously be.
cause enc of his assistants was prac.
tically blind and the other could not
write.

DlsAeREEs WITH "EARLx RISER"

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: Early Riser" Is most prolific
of pen-or typewriter-but 1t appears
from perusal of his communications
that he is trifle lacking in grey matter
or else he has not cultivated the power
of use of that material so common in
some mortais, called brains.
While not necessarily agreeing with
Mr.. Bockus, 1t would appear to the
casual observer that the Rapid Transit
Company would not give one 'tinker's
dam whether the clock was set ahead
one, two, three or a dozen hours. That
company has hard and fast rule-the
proof is in the late customers of the
streetcar lines-forr quitting service
and should it be compelled to start
one hour earlier 1t would as a conse-
quence cease operations one hour earl
ier-or. with the clock pushed ahead
it would work on the same schedule
as at present.
The same would apply to the Ha-
waiian Electric Company. Where there
was an extra hour of use of current in
the morning there would be an hour
saved at night for the reason that we
would all adjust ourselves to the new
condition of affairs Go to bed earlier
and arise earlier.
Early Riser tells of the loss to the
r. T, c.. through the new system. Mr..
BockHs tells of the loss to the Electric
company. Both statements appear to

HEALTH REPORT

Plantations on Hawaii Spent
$500, 079.45 to Improve
Lab0rerS' Quarters, etc.

Especial Star Bulletin Corres2ondencet
HILO, Sept. 10.---Chief Sanitary In.
spector d. s. Bowman of Hawaii has
forwarded a report to Governor Pink
ham on the sanitary condition of this
island and has taken the opportunity
of telling the chief executive about the
splendid cooperation that exists be-
tween the plantation managers and
the territorial board of health.
The report states that during the
past two years the plantations have
expended for improvements in labor.
ers' quarters, water supplies, camp
cleaning, sewerage, wash houses and
other necessary additions, the enor-
nous sum of $390.079.45. The money
has been spent voluntarily by the
plantations in an effort to improve
the sanitation of their camps and 9TH
er living quarters
To the large sum expended must be
added further sum of $161,531.42,
which has been spent on plantation
inspectors salaries, camp cleaning,
rat catchers, disinfeetants and other
things. Each plantation employs
sanitary inspector who looks after the
cleaning of the camps, the garbage
service and the water supply. The in
spector assists the plantation doctor
in having patients who are sick trans
ferred to the plantation hospital. The
inspectors all work under the direction
of the board of health, and it has
proven to be of mutual benefit to the
plantations and the board to have
them so employed. ..-.-.

FISHING IN HAWAII.
Honolulu. Hawaii Sent

..-.. Honolulu, Hawaii, Sept. II.
Editor Honolulu S!ar-Bu:letin.
Sir: Mr.. Gooding Field s ated in his
article on fishing that rod and reel
fishing only started in the islands two
years ago. The truth is that ten years
ago I brought my. rods and surf tackle
to Hawaii and was using them at
Black Point, Kaena Point and Koko
Head at that time and have initiated
some twenty novitiatesain the sport.
/ induced E. o. Hall e. Son to get the
heavy two.piece rod and large surf reel
and keep them in stock and there are
a score or more of rod fisherman who
are equipped with this tackle and have
been using it for the last eight years
When ] was using this tackle at
Manley Beach, Sydney, no one there
had ever seen that manner OF handling
six to eighteen pound FISH. and / found
about a dozen men using throwsout
lines. They were inclined to smile
when they saw my modern QUITE, but
when I began to land about three fish
to their one they began to take notice
and the next fishing day there ap-
peared rods galore with all kinds of
reels that they could serape UP, and
the result was that a surprising catch
was made that day. u .,.-- ..
| have also used the nine ounce rod
at the mouth of the river in Hilo and
made a catch of ten fish, closely re-
sembling the coast smelt, in a half
hour before breakfast, and that spot
is only block away from the, Demos
themes Hotel. There is all kinds of
good fishing with rod and reel in the
vicinity of Honolulu and l am glad
that Mr.. Field is waking up a new
interest in it. c. D. WRIGHT.

Wilson T. Peterman of st. Mary, Louisiana,
a noted Democrat of long standing, in a speech
recently, showed the kind of politics that is
being talked in Louisiana 1t would seem to
indicate that Louisiana is going back on the
party Of Free Trade and has strong leaning
for Protection.
Mr.. Peterman said:
''You have seen the business depression.
You have noted in the papers the property ad
vertised for sale for the taxes. Look at your
bank statements. All of you know something
has happened to Louisiana. | say Woodrow
Wilson did it. David Evans of Madison parish
had an expression in the recent legislature:
Let's separate the sheep from the goats. All
right, | say so, too. Let's separate them. We
of southwest Louisiana have too long been the
goats of the Democratic party. In St Mary
parish we will have as fine an organization as
was ever perfected in this state. We have been
overwhelmed with requests, Put me on any
anywhere to work.

from cane to cantaloupes, peanuts and water
melons, but if you got to go to the bank and ask
them for an advance on peanut crop you will
quickly discover the difference"

THE ISSUE THAT
DOMINATES

The vital issue of the primary campaign
that comes to close almost as soon as this
paper reaches its readers is that of continuous
and energetic and fair representation. in Wash
ington. e~u"
That issue is not ended with the primary cam
paign 1t is not finished when the polls close
this afternoon and the count is made. 1t is an
issue that will dominate the general election
campaign from now until another vote is cast in
November 5sa
Nowhere in Kuhio's primary campaign has
he indicated to the voters that he is wiling to
stay ION the job in Washington. Whatever
Kuhio's managers have thought, Cupid has
seemed always entirely confident that he would
be nominated He has not deemed it necessary
to pledge his good faith with the people of Ha-
wall that he will give them whole-hearted and
unselfish service if elected once again.
His campaign has not been one of argument,
but of appeal. 1t has not been campaign of
reasoning, but of resentment; not of example
but excuse.
1t is this that has disappointed and chagrined
even the most ardent of the princes support
ers, and it is noticeable that he has lacked pub
lie speakers to stand by him in the primary
campaign.
Certain it is that if Kuhio is renominated to-
day, Hawaii has no assurance of any better
work from him in the next two years than he
has given in the last two. Worse probably, for
Kuhio will be more confident than ever and less
inclined to change his lethargic attitude,
Those who have not yet cast their ballots
should think this over and act accordingly
