MAKING CHARITY eUslNEssLIKE

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir: ] am pleased to hear that the
public charities" here are up for a
mild probe, as it were. BY that as
sertiOn | do not mean to insinuate
that there is anything wrong or crook
cd in their management, hut II is
fact that the people of Honolulu pay
annually thousands of dollars into the
Golfers of the public charities" while
it is equally fact that there is, so
far as an ordinary mortal can see,
no public supervision or suggestion
over or about the outgoing of the sub
scribed funds.
A public institution, more especially
one that deals solely in charity, when
once it gets established as a dispen-
sary of charity deeds, money and as
sistance to the needy, may, with per
feet impunity, stand up any and all
for a supply of the wherewithal to re-
Iieve human suffering. This line of
pleading appeals to all, and is gener-
ally successful:
There appears to be little known of
the .'acts Of charity" except those
that filter through the yearly report,
and because it is charity there is lit
tie attention given to the report. even
by those who have. given the funds
toward the life of the institution.
If / remember right, the report OF
one of the local charitable institutions
number of years ago brought forth
the comment that it cost several hun
dred dollars in salaries to give away
5000. . ~ "
There is no doubt in the world but
that those handling the charity funds
are as honest as daylight in their pur-
pose, but their ways are not business
like
There is a marked responsibility
and obligation centered with all who
solicit and collect money from the
Public to be disbursed for charity,
The POUNDS do not belong to them.
They are simply trustees in the sense
Of all the word implies. 1t Is therefore
within all reason and right that the
public should be made. clearly con.
versant with the manner in. which
every cent is spent. There does not
seem to be any such information on
tap at present,
A waste of charity funds. raised
through public subscription is fully as
heavy a burden as those who sub
scribe to the fund as would be a
waste of public funds. A sage has
said, "If the waste of the world could
be saved there would be no poverty. "
There is truly work. much work,
am given to understand. along char
table lines in this city. Why this
Is so | do not profess to know. But
such work should be performed on the
most up-to,date business methods, and
under the supervision of some COM
mission that will keep tab on charita-
bic institutions that appeal to the pub.

TUE KEALOHA VERDICT

The tVnyiciiOH Of Supervisor john kcalOha
Of Hawaii county upon the serious rharg" Of en-,
bezzIing county funds is u triumph not only for
Special Prosecutor Robert W. BrerkOns and the
Hawaii county attorneys office but for the good
sense and impartial Judgment Of the jury and for
Law and order in This territory.
The supervisors attitude since charges were
first preferred against him has been thar Of con-
fdence in an acquittal,-a confidence that, IN
view Of the seriousness Of the charges and the
outcome of the trial, now is shown unWar-
ranted insolence He and his friends have
boosted that he would go scot-free. More-hc
has even been the hero Of budding movement
designed 10 elect him chairman Of the next board
on county supervisors.
There has never, in the minds of the prosecu-
ton, been any doubt that the case against Ke-
aloha was strong one there has been some
doubt as to the outcome of jury trial even
though the defense was based on teehnicalities,
not ON the real issues. 1t has been said, particu-
larry in Hilo, that no jury could be secured there
chat would convict Kealoha, That fear has been
shown groundless that lack Of confidence has
not been Justified Instead, the jury has
weighed the evidence on It's merits and with a
clear sense Of its own responsibility.
AS Prosecutor Breckons said in his address.
The jury itself was on trial its ability TO separate
true issues from false was put to the test; its
capacity for laying aside preiudices of race, re-
ligipn, consanguinity, local feeling, was in the
balance. From this test the jury emerged with
credit. That small group Of men has helped
notably 70 uphold the integrity Of the inry syss
tenn insliis territory, as well as to decide upon
the facts of one concrete case
The result Of the Kealoha trial is one of the
greatest blows dealt to public graft since the
series of hunderbolts began with the first
sof the Field exposures, now more than a year
ago 1t has been shown that guilty officials
cannot font the law, secure in their behalf that
friends and neighbors will ..see them through Il
If has been shown that criminals cannot with
reckless impunity swaggcr their way through
the safeguards the law has SET up to protect GOV.
ernment and society Bro and buster have
been opposed to the orderly processes of the law
and brag and bluster have lost. Decency has
won.
With the handing down Of this gplendid yer.
dict, there is erected before the puIHc treasury
OF Hawaii county a sign which real ssGrafters
Take Warning This Way Closel.B And the
sign is upheld by the strong arms body of
citizens able and willing to see that guilty dc
not escape.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE AND CONGRESS

\ severe setback was given those suffragiSS
working for national legislation when the House
committee Oh rules recently declined tO ndOrsc
the proposal that new standing committee Of
the house, an equal suffrage committed be
created.
A number of congressman take the position
thai womans suffrage has become of such ma
tional interest that special committee should
be formed to take care Of it. Opposed to this
view are the conservatives, who think that the
time isn't ripe to give equal suffrage the rrcogni
ton of committee.
Two weeks ago Indications were that the com
mittcc would be formed. Representatives Tay-
lor and Heating of Colorado and other pro-Suf-
fragist members had been discussing the outlook
with colleagues, and returning members pointed
to the growth of the woman suffrage movement
as warPanting the appointment of a committee
to deal with nothing else than equal suffrage
matters
The rules committee recently completed hear
ings of suffragists and anti.suffragists. Chair,
man Henry had not committed himself, but it
became known early in January that he was in
favor of such a committee and would lend his
Influence toward getting it,
Mr.. Henry's position was that woman suf-
frage has become great issue and that the prob
lem is as important as the subjects now dealt
with by way of the present standing committees
lOf Congress-
Whether there was change in sentiment on
theeIalles committee or whether the conservatives
[alNazs outnumbered the others is not known.
Aftcrsthe executive session. it was given out that
the rules committee did not feel that the situa,
ton warranted the creation of standing com
mittee,
of course the House has created standing
committees for such subjects of nationwide and
burning interest as enrolled bills, disposition Of
useless executive papers, and coinage, weights
and measures. Manifestly the suffrage move
ment will have to progress far before it can
claim equal rank in contemporaneous thought
with the disposition of useless executive papers

Origin Of chrlatenlnn shrns.

The ceremony of christening ships
is a survival of barbaric custom
when sacrifices we're made to the
gods. and some living victim or Offer
Ing was held up and its throat cut SO
that the blood flowed over the Prov
OF the ship being launched. The ves-
sci was baptized in warm blood. Now
sprinkling wine or pure water is used.
and the change has many advantages.
