BRIEF EXTRACTS
 MARINE DISASTERS

Accurate information on the sub ject is cOntained in an interesting article by c. l.. Andrews, in a recent issue of the Washington IIistoricai Quarterly.
 The first account of marine acc'- dent in Alaskan waters dates back to August. 1772, when the Discovery" struck an unknown rock in Queen Charlotte Sound; and the record since that time contains the names of close to four hundred ships which met dis aster on the Northern coast. The money loss runs high up in;o the mil lions and while the loss of life has been surprisingly slfgnt considerinE the dearth of life-saving stations. hundreds have paid for the lack of preparedness in aids to navigation and adequate dragnet surveys.
 The stories of these wrecks make fascinating if not blood-chilling read ing. To repeat even a few of them would not be possible here, but MT.
 Andrews account of the loss of the steamer State of California" deal ing with a catastrophe still vivid in mind, is by the very reason of its cold business-like simplicity. so harEaw- ing, that it is reprinted here for9ahc effect which it may have in rousin@ public sentiment to more insistent de- mands for adequate protection of Al askan shipping:
 "On clear, bright day, August l7th. 1913, the ship left the wharf at the Gambler Bay cannery, swurG around from the landing, and settled down on her course toward the mouth of the harbOr. Four minutes after she left the dock an unchartercd pin nacle rock ripped open the bottom of the boat as she passed over The ship was headed for shore and the whistle sounded for assistance. With in three minutes after striking the rock the vessel was beached on tue rocky shore, and the cannery tugs were on the way to her assistance.
 No sooner had she reached the beach
 than the stern settled beneath the surface and she slid back into the deep water. taking with her many Of the passengers and crew. The decks were raised as by an explosion; the bridge floated off with the captain shouting his orders as it drifted away; the masts went overheard smashing the boats that lay in their path; and the next moment there was nothing on the surface but a struggling mass of human beings
 among the wreckage. The cannery
 tenders and available small boats rem
 dered every assistance possible, but
 of the hundred and forty-siX persons
 on board the ship, thirty-five went
 down to their death.

BOOZE NO MINIS FRIEHD

The saloon is a liar. It promises good cheer and sends sorrow. It promises health and causes disease. It promises prosperity and sends ad- versity.. It promises happiness and sends misery. Yes, 1t sends the hus- band home with a lie on his lips to his wife, and the boy home with a lie on his lips to his mother; and 1t causes the employe to lie to his em- ployer. It degrades. It Is Gods worst enemy and the devils best friend. It spares neither youth nor old age. Decent society is barring it out. The fraternal brotherhoods are knocking 1t out.
 In the production of goods it Is a rank deceiver as the following shows:
 In the lumber industry, 65.3 per cent of all expenses, other than mate rials, is paid out for wages. In all the industries of the United States, Labor gets 54.4 per cent.
 In the production of malt liquors, Labor gets only 20.2 per cent.
 In the production of distilled H. quors. Labor only gets 1.9 per cent.
 The brewery corporations, largely owned by aliens, control nearly all of the saloons in the United States. That is matter of common knowledge.
 Labor gets almost nothing out of the production of liquor except head aches and dismissals for incompet- ency brought on by drink.
 When the brewery corporations are threatened by an outraged people, the bloated directors appeal to labor to come to their rescue.
 When the brewery corporations want to get up a street parade as they recently did in Cincinnati, they call upon the Labor unions, their princi- pal victims, to get out and carry Q booze banner.
 When the disreputable saloon is hard pressed by the people with dry amendments to their constitutions, the bloated beer monopolist yells for the laboring man to come to his rescue.
 The foreign brewery corporations gobble up everything in the way of profits of the business.
 The laboring man gets only a little of the drippings that falls from the cup of the giant corruptionists.
 Let the laboring man clean out this dirty monster of greed that pays labor only 20.2 per cent of it's ex- penses in wages and vote in the gen. eral industries of the nation that pays 54.4 per cent of their expenses in wages to the laboring man.

HoNoLULU's IMPROVEMENT LIMIT,

just another word this public improvement
program for the city and county of Honolulu.
The public is informed chat there is limit TO the
amount Of work that can be done. The labor is not
available.
In the opinion Of this paper the limit TO the
amount of work that be done is the amount
of work that needs to be done. to place this
city in the front rank at least up TO date with
the development of events of which Honolulu is the
center. ....I
Men who have amounted TO anything cities and
organizations that are put down worth while in
this country, the men and the cities and the
organizations that have done things never done be-
fore. ---. s.@.~ ~ Il ..:....:. ~
DO you not know that ruts are the product of run
ming around in the same old grooves every day with
the same old wagon wheels and the same old limita-
tions of energy and ambition? ...@.. .... i.
DO you think the Panama Canal would have been
built II the prevailing opinion had been that there is
a limit to what we can do? Men and machinery
were brought into action that did work in quantity
quality and speed-that had never been done before.
Make no mistake, fellow citizens Honolulu is in
the position where it must ''catch up" 1t must
know no limit and accept no limit of energy and
performance, if it is to keep in line with and be
ready for its opportunities and responsibilities.

KEEP COOL, FRIENDS.

If the raising of funds for public improvements in
this city is TO be accomplished in businesslike
manner, and actually arrive at given point, the
discussion must go forward reasonably free from
name calling contest.
Differences of opinion on whether the develop
ment work by raising the cash Immediately or ex-
tending the payment over a long period through a
loan, quite egitimate-in business circles. Only
the hot heads and the sighted fellows call their
associates names or impugn their motives when dis
GUESSING the subject of cash or loan-in business
organization.
Consequently it seems the part of good sense to
keep reasonably cool when talking of the proposed
bond issue.
One of the greatest needs of situation in Honolulu
Is wider interest and more exact information regard
ing our public affairs. And TO that end the more
general intelligent discussion and presentation of
facts the public can secure the better for all con
cerned. 49, 4 F&&4
Keep cool friends Work for the upbuilding of
the city. and the promotion of mutual understand
ing. Refrain from uttering the petty things that
may naturally arise from personal enthusiasm over
ones personal ideas.

PERHAPS NEW YORK COULD LEARN.

e
II may be that the solution of the infantile para
1ysis epidemic problem will be found in campaign
for just plain cleanliness and ordinary rules of SAM
fafion.
Residents of the tropics or semi-tropics, where
pest holes have been redeemed by simply giving the
place a cleaning and keeping it clean, are often
surprised at the lack of cleanliness in the large
cities-and small ones for that matter. People of
the temperate zone depend on frosts to kill the
summer microbes and sunshine TO wipe out the
microbes that stalk in the MONDAY of winter Drain
age attention to sink holes and house fly breeding
spots receive little more than perfunctory consid
Grafton.
Though 1t may be a layman's dream, it is fair
guess that the best thing for New York today in
handling infantile paralysis would be from one to
ten regiments of sanitation workers enlisted from
americans who have lived and served in Hawaii,
the Philippines, and Panama Canal zone. Turn
these officers and loose in the city of New York
