CALLS ON CITIZENS TO ACT

Editor Star-Bulletin, Honolulu:
! The dtsconcerting news you publish
concerning a national leprosarium in
Hawaii ought to be enough to bestir
every citizen into protest.
1t is fortunate that the local organ.
ICED bodies are active in their en-
deavors to prevent congress from
further injuring the territory by an
act of such plain injustice, but is 1t
not possible that their activity may
be materially aided or even improved
upon by the efforts of individuals?
For it is well known that formal reso.
lutions, like names to petition, are
often looked upon as merely perfume
tory performances in which the per
sons have little concern, or at most
as the expression Of an interested
few. ssr #s~t@
There are persons here, perhaps,
representing every section of the
United States; and no doubt each has
the acquaintance and friendship Of
one or more members of congress, or
senators or influential person there.
Why not appeal to such for Justice
simple Justice? 49,, .. -.
Put it up to him how this country
voluntarily cast itself into the arms
of the great republic, confidently ex-
pecting fair treatment at all times
and in all cases. Tell him this pro-
test and appeal is made personally
because we are without vote in the
ccngress,-and, unhappily, without a
voice there!
Remind him of his own dread of the
disease, and ask him how he would
like such treatment by government
just because 1t had the power. 49,
AS you we'll say, Mr.. Editor, it Is
not a question of how contagious the
malady is, but one of fixed fear and
dread that will not be argued down.
In the average American mind it
travels side by side with its religion;
for both have been impressed by the
same book. Nor is 1t sufficiently ac-
Quainted with the geography Of these
islands to draw a distinction between
them, or appreciate their natural sep
arations and divisions. 81
And a leper colony established at
any place on any one of them by the
United States would mean simply that
Hawaii is a leper colony-the ma
tional lazaretto!
Desirable immigrants as we'll as
tourists would go sailing the other
way.
Yours for Hawaii.

The illness which kept Delegate Kuhio away
from Washington during an entire session of
Congress was really calamity. 1t is entirely
probable that if during the past two years Ha.
waii had been adequately represented in Wash.

to exempt Hawaii from some of it's provisions.

to this end might have saved us from being in

A PRACTICE Open TO CRITICISM

The attack made on the city's building and
plumbing inspector, Mr.. J. J. Miehlstein, is so
serious that the charges should not be dropped
until they are entirely thrashed out.
1t will be doing Mr. Miehlstein great injus-
tice to believe the charges until they are proven,
and the accused man will be doing an injustice
TO the public unless he insists on full yentila-
ton of the assertions that he is getting an illc
ultimate "rakedff" from fishmarket improve
lnent work ordered done by the board of super
yisors. His explanation is perfectly credible
one. He says that it has never been understood
that he was barred, by reason of his city office,
from doing city work ION the side"
Quite possibly this is the case. There is an
unfortunate Wactide in Hawaii of allowing
public officials to engage in all sorts of private
work that quite often is undertaken at the ex.
pense of their official duties. 1t is not con-
fined to any one branch of government, nor to
any one department of this city administration.
1t is almost general practice. Sometimes it is
impossible to get capable men for office at the
small salary attached.
But, regardless of the truth as to the Miehl-
stein charges, the habit of allowing public Off
cials to engage in private work along the line
Of their official duties is bad habit 1t is poor
business 1t inevitably results either in neg.
lect Of public business or of waste in funds.
There are enough duties attached to every pub
lie office to keep its occupant busy all the time
without engaging in private work If he finds
time for the private work it's pretty good sign
either that he has had to employ assistants to
help him run his proper job which is a waste
cf public funds-or that his own job is suffer
Ing for lack Of continuous attention-whieh is
neglect.
On the face of it, the charge which Miehlstein
admits that he got seven and one,half per cent
as supervising architect on the fishmarket inn
prqvenents reveals only thing sanctioned
here by long and fairly general usage. On that
basis he is hardly culpable. Everybody has
been doing it, apparently
But it's bad business
The other charge, that the inspector has been
getting two and one-half per cent from the ma
terial men concerned in the job, is sanctioned
neither by usage nor law and should be looked
into. This Mr. Miehlstein fatty denies.
Personally, he is regarded as a capable and
honest city official and he will continue to be
regarded SO until proved otherwise by his ac-
cusers. sas#
