TAKING rP THE FIGHTINGIssrE.

independent voters can get squarcly behind the
Republican campaigners Of Oahu in their support
of the: frontage-taX. They can ndorse every word
spoken in favor OF this Improvement system they
can echo every word eveled against the Democratic
program of obstruction.
The Republican leaders who on Monday night de-
cided 10 make the frOntage,tax Of their chief
fighting issues in The Oahu campaign decided wise
~. They grasped an opportunity 10 do something
not only for this campaign but for the whole future
Of the city
The Advertiser remarks this morning that there
is no opposition ito the frontagetaxl except from
siIch retrograde politicians are al the head OF
The Bourbon remnants. The Star-Bulletin cannot
take quite so optimistic view. There is plenty of
opposition left Part of it is the opposition Of hon
estly-mstaken people, particularly small property
owners. who have not vet looked through the imme
date darkness of local assessments to the light of
greater better, more prosperous city beyond. with
prosperity built sound, progressive civic i'm
provements charged against the benefited land
There is also the opposition of ignorance and the
opposition of prejudice, and il is TO such opposition
as this that Democracy is making its appeal
The Democrats are not shy on political astute
ness-of sort. They know they will get some sup
port on this rfrontagetax issue and they are ham
mering at il for all it is worth. And il might be
worth good deal if the Republicans .let them get
. away with it," e 81
But the Republican leaders are meeting the issue
squarely. They going to meet it both in the
fourth district, where there is question of fay
orable verdict and in the fifth district, where the
Bourbon claim, the frOntage-tax is so unpopular
that any candidate who supports it will be beaten
two to one.
The StarBulletin said few days ago that the
Republicans had nothing to fear il they met the issue
body and put into their support of il intelligence
truth and drivingpower. With two or three good
stumpspsakers in the fifth district who will talk in
Hawaiian and explain the statutes to the voters the
Republicans can beat their opponents who fabr
cate campaign yarns in an appeal to ignorance.
To win on issue of this kind is far better than
to win on personalities, inud-singing, on pel
tical canards Even il the Republicans should lose
two three members Of the Legislature, they would
have carried campaign of education Of inestim
able value to the electorate
This is Honolulu issue, legitimate issue,
good lighting issue. Republican and independent
yotersz-yes and the Democrats who value truth
above party expediency-ca get behind the Repub
lieanzeampaigncrs and help the "fa drive" for pro
gressive Honolulu.

SAFETY FIRST.
opportunity

Here is small but significant news item from
the cOuntrys greatest bathing resort " i.
ATLANTIC CITY, y. J.-Although close to 10000
bathed here daily during the there has
been a single drowning, life said today.
However, there close to 1000 persons rescued
There were drownings last year and more than
1000 rescues. ... -.
This year the record was made perfect by splen-
did system of safeguards, both in mechanical facii-
ties and i'm expert swimmers who patroed the
beaches and warned persons against getting beyond
their depth.
Honelulu's famous Waikiki beach is naturally
safer than that of Atlantic City. Fatal accidents
are few but might be fewer With a welldeveloped
system OF expert oversight there would probably not
be q drowning once in five years.

Bicycle stealing is very common now" says a
headline. So are several other forms of stealing,
praetised by the daring gentry on Oahu who appar-
emily have little respect for the law and little fear
of the police Burglaries, hold-ups, gambling and
other diversions of the yegg, the strongsarm man,
the crook and the gangster breaking into print
with noticeable frequency. In one section of the
city, the young women, alarmed at purse snatching
incident, have just organized a revolver club. In
another, similar club was organized after the wife
of a Honolulu businessman was attacked by skulk-
ing rutfian. That Honolulu has an unusual record
of safety for white people is not the fault of the pres
ent police administration. -".. .=":@ ~:.=

TELLS HOW HE GOT VALUE.
Charles L. Pillsbury Testiies Again
in P. E. P. Co. Case.

Charles L. Pillsbury. chief engineer of
the valuation bureau. was called again
a witness today by the public utili-
ties commission to explain how he es-
tablished the tentative valuation of the
property of the Potomac Electric Power
Company. He was examined by Cor :
poration Counsel Syme as to the cost
of reproduction of the company's
property, which is placed by the COM
mission at 1896. .0s8.os. and the cost of
reproduction. Tess depreciation, which
is given as $s,127,342.92.
The commission is expected to finish
the presentation of its case today, and
it is probable that recess for two
weeks will be taken to enable the COM
pany to prepare for cross-examination
and introduce any evidence bearing on
the valuation it may desire to get be-
fore the commission.

ALI Refuse Is Burned.

All of the refuse from the mess tables
and all dish water is disposed of on
incinerators built short distance from
the cook tents. All tin cans coming
from the kitchens are first thrown on
the incinerators and burned out thor
ouRhly before being hauled away The
burning-out process meits the bottoms
out of the cans SO that they no longer
will hold water. They can then be
hauled away and dumped in pile with
the assurance that they will not catch
rain water and become mosquit breed
ing places.
The militiamen have yet to see a
single mosquito about the camp. This
Is not a mosquito country and the Dis
trict boys are happy for this fact. They
had their fill of mosquitoes at Camp
Ordway at Fort Myer. Va. All brought
their mosquito bars along but have not
had to use them.
There are few flies around the camp,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
kitchens are not screened. Screens have
| been put over the ehelv~r holding
| cakes, pies and candies in - b, pest ex-
| changes which the two units have es-
| tablished and in each of these a gen.
| erous supply OF fly paper is in eyi~
| dence at all times.
| Close to the kitchen OF the Field Hos
| pital Company there Is large fly
| trap lQnd each day hundreds of the
J psstl6re killed through this medium.

REMAIN WITH THE COLORS
Field Artillery Batteries Need Thir.
ty Men-Battle Exercises Held.
Sentries to Be Armed.

Not until seventy-four men of Wash
ington enlist in the Sd Infantry will
that regiment be in position to go to
Bisbee. ID is just that number short
of being recruited up to minimum
strength, according to Col. Glendie b.
Young, commanding the regiment. En-
listment stock dropped several points
at Camp Ordway yesterday, but this
morning showed signs of a rise.
officers of the camp are still optimis-
tic, and believe that the men will be
obtained within a short time. They are
still looking to the young members OF
the civilian rifle clubs to show their
patriotism by joining the National
Guard for border service.
War Bridegrooms Must Stick.
While men with dependent relatives
are being discharged under the orders
issued by the Secretary of War, officers
at the camp are not disposed to dis
charge those men who have married
since the mobilization order came. Sew
eral of these men have filed requests
for discharge, and their papers have
been disapprovd.
The officers take the position that
! those war bridegrooms' knew of the
| service conditions, and should not have
taken on additional responsibilities
after they had been called into the
| field and use this as means of getting
| out of the service.
| The count of seventy-four men which
| the Sd Regiment needs, takes into con-
| sideration those men who will be dis
| charged for various reasons. Just that
| many men will place the regiment al
! full strength. so that the mastering Of
ficer can report 1t to the Department OF
| the East as ready for the front.

The ammunition which has been is
sued is guard" shells. They are smaller
than the service shell. and are effective
up to about 200 yards. There probably
