Sir: To one who has no axe to
grind. bat is interested only in a
pure water supply for the city. il
seems that those who are criticizing
the governor fer his attitude in hold
ing up the appropriation for new
water supply should 20 slow. There
might be something in his statement
that reservoir No. is bad. that the
water in it is unfit. for human con.
sumption" This is not the first time
this statement has been made. nor is
the governor the first to make the
statement Il is not an increased SUP
ply We need so much as a pure sup
ply. The city is not suffering for lack
of water, but for lack of water that Is
fit to drink without boiling At my
home, it is a daily occurrence to let
the water at times run for five min
utes. In other words, frequently the
water from the kitchen or bathroom
tap is more Ike bean soup. Let the
appropriation be spent for better
supply, and we will willingly stand the
Increased cost of putting in meters,

OF
UNITED STATES
TAKEN AS JOKE
Australians Divided on Subject,
Says w. 6. Conley, Man.
ager Of Sydney Herald

There is considerable anttAmerican
sentiment in Australia today, but
there are also a great many AUS
trail ans who believe the United States
has the right to steer its own course
as concerns neutrality, according to W.
G. Conley, general manager of the
Sydney Morning Herald, the largest
newspaper in Australia. ~.
What anti American sentiment
exists in Australia now is largely
taken as joke" said Mr.. Conley this
morning, a few minutes after the liner
Niagara. had brought him to Homo
lulu. They say in Australia now that
the price of stationery has gone Hp
owing to the number of notes sent by
President Wilson TO Germany.
Generally speaking, most of the
Austria liam people do resent the policy
Of neutrality pursued by the United
States, but there are great many OF
US who think America is free to decide
for herself whether she will take sides
in the war"
Mr.. Conley is on his way to London
and declined to state just what his
mission is there. He said he will visit
Vancouver, Portland, Seattle, San
Francisco, Chicago and New York, con-
ferring with newspaper publishers, the
Associated Press and other news sup
plying organizations relative to press
matters. He also intends to place or
ders either in Canada or the United
States for print paper and supplies.
Mr.. Conley represents the Austral-
ian Press Association, also the indie
pendent Cable Association Our
associations enable the Australian
papers to receive modern and com
prehensive news service at low rates,
he said. Some Of the smaller papers
obtain excellent news service for e5
a year." =.
Mr.. Conley's wife will come to Homo
lulu in the near future to wait here
for her husbands return. They will
go back to Australia together.
The noted newspaper expert said
one of the results of the. war, as it af-
fects Australia, is that It has made a
crop of newly rich about the same as
war orders have added scores of mil
lionaires to the list in America.
Many wool brokers have made for
tunes on account of the wal" he said
When the war began they thought
they would be ruined. Instead it has
made many of them wealthy"

PROF, MAccAueHEVs LECTURE.

49, =. April 81, 1916.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: May | be permitted to correct
two points as reported from the adj
dress to the Outdoor Circle FIRST,
suggested the planting of a grove,
not a forest, of kou. The ancient VIII
lage of Honolulu was named Kou, be-
cause of famous grove Of these trees
near Nuuanu stream. The grove has
vanished, and the kou is now very
rare on Oahu 1t is a beautiful tree,
typical of these islands, and | suggest
ed small grove as public park and
a memento of ancient Honolulu.
Second, and similarly, a grove of
tree-ferns, not forest. The tree
ferns are unique and beautiful plants,
typical of Hawaii. The forests in the
vicinity of Honolulu have been largely
depleted of tree-ferns. The fine groves
in the vicinity OF Kilauea are we'll
known. 1t would be relatively sim.
pie matter to establish a small pro-
tected grove in the vicinity of Homo
lulu, open to the public, and featured
in the tourist literature.
Third, the vital points of the ad-
dress were not reported. They are as
follows: The Identification of the
American city demands expert super
vision; long.term policies (25 to rs
years. and unselfish cooperation.
Very respectfully,
VAUGHAN MACCAuGHEY,
Professor Of Botany.
College of Hawaii.

EDITOR
HAWAII SETS THE PAcE-KEEP IT UP!

The National Guard of Hawaii has been set
ting the pace for the rest of the United States
in the matter of preparedness, but the time has
come when hard work must be supplemented
by hard cash Enthusiasm in lieu OF funds may
succeed up to certain point, hut that point
has now been reached in the National Guard,
and money to carry on work so we'll started IS
badly needed. ,a
Federal and territorial appropriations were
based on a National Guard of about 800 men,
and with some 5000 men on the rolls the amount
set aside has proved entirely inadequate. The
National Guard now turns to the community
for help, and indications are that the commun-
ity will answer the call
A campaign of preparation has been con-
Quoted by the Guard during the last three days.
Before three representative organizatlons-the
AID Club, the Rotary Club and the Commercial
Club-well informed speakers have set forth
the needs of the National Guard, clearly and
concisely, so that the business and professional
men of the city have thorough understand
ing of conditions. "...
An estimate of $4,000 has been made for
the urgent and immediate needs of the Nation
al Guard The greater part of this sum is to
be spent in completing the rife range and camp
site on Punchbowl, while transportation ex-
penses of sergeant instructors, and necessary
equipment for the .armory, account for the
balance I'LL. : .~ ~
Punchbowl as model camp site will be OF
great value not only to the National Guard bu:
to the community in general 1t opens up pos
sibilities for citizen training camps and for
the development of rifle shooting for civilians.
1t is foregone conclusion that both range
and camp site will be much used, and that be
ing SO, camp sanitation becomes vital prob
lem. An adequate water system, and proper
sewerage facilities are imperative. All this
costs money, and neither federal nor territorial
funds are available for the purpose. The
issue is put up to the citizens, who are asked
to give tangible support to the preparedness
movement, as exemplifed by the National
Guard of Hawaii.
Governor Pinkham, IN a speech delivered
some months ago, made statement to the eff
feet that when the time came everyone who
could shoot, must shoot, and the rest dig Now
is the time to dig. -.

t'WHERE EVERY PROSPECT PLEASES
AND ONLY MAN IS VILE

Circuit Judge Stuart's wholesale condemna-
ton of the labor system in Hawaii, as delivered
from the bench yesterday, contains these
words:
ssThe planters must see that the laws are
fast bringing ruin to the most beautiful spot
on earth"
Strange, indeed, that these planters, with
millions of money invested here, with their per-
manent homes here, with all that makes life
worth living right here, do not agree with the
Judge But they don't The impending shadow
Of ruin over which he is so much concerned
somehow seems to have missed their observa-
ton. The only shadow they really feared, that
of free sugar on May !, 1916, has just been dis
PEELED by the sunshine of the Kitchin bill
which, by the way, was signed by the pres-
dent yesterday
When the immigrant recruiting laws which
so trouble Judge Stuart was passed by the ter
litoriaI legislature, Alaska packing interests
we're raiding these islands to get labor which
later would be turned adrift on the Pacific
coast, to come back to Hawaii pauperized if it
we're able to come back at all. The statutes
have been held constitutional by the territorial
Supreme court The violator of these statutes
whose case was before Judge Stuart was not
ignorant of the law, and he pleaded guilty to
the charge against him. The very statutes
which Judge Stuart condemns as responsible
for "peon labor" protect the laborers of Ha-
waii from being victimized by INSCRIPTIONS
persons who for fee would take them to the
mainland upon glittering promises of fat living
and easy pickings- promises which have re
sulted in innumerable cases of these laborers
being stranded in California, vainly regretting
that they left the sure employment of these
islands
Judge STARTS statement concerning suffi.
cient Hawaiian labor to till the lands may be
but down charitablv-to his comparatively brief
residence here. If his off-again, on-again resig-
nation doesn't take in Washington, he may
have the opportunity for further observation.
But so long as his judicial opinions are colored
BY his spleen against Governor Pinkham he is
not likely to alter his views appreciably, and
may continue to give the president the benefit
of his cogitations. And the administration will
doubtless continue to pay Judge Stuart the
same fattering attention it has paid him here
tofore So deterrent have been the president
and Secretary Lane to the views of Judge
Stnart that he has been encouraged to send on
his resignation and to contemplate leaving this
land Of slavery for the free and untrammeled
state of California. That location, however,
would not be the most advantageous. Why
not journey to Tennessee and team up with
Jeff McCarng Both of them with Characters
ticallv orthodox fervor subscribe to the belief
that Hawaii is the place "where every pros
pect pleases and only man is vile"
