EDITOR
MUST Do A THOROUGH JOB.

Carranza is weak reed for the United
States to rely upon in Mexico. He has never
been able to put down the factions opposing
him; his own soldiers are reported on the verge
of numerous revolts; he is lacking in prestige,
power and intelligence.
Agreements with Carranza may mean moth
ing because he has not the ability to carry out
his pledges. The so-called reciprocal cross
ing'' agreement is not likely to afford any pro-
lection for the American troops who are sent
into Mexico, for the perfectly simple reason
that Carranza is unable to suppress the guer-
lila bands such as those of Villa, OF to keep the
ignorant and prejudiced poems under control.
In large districts of Mexico Villa is a helo.
Here Carranza s boasted authority is worthless,
When the United States troops get into
Mexico, they will probably have to fight Car
ranzistas as well as Villstas. This is no week
end dash after one outlaw band. 1t is, as the
Star Bulletin said last week, virtual interven-
ton. For that reason the army must be we'll
prepared, and no American without accurate
knowledge of the facts should quarrel with the
military authorities for what seems to be delay.
To do thorough job of it Uncle Sam must be
thoroughly equipped. =

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin:
Safeguarding Mr.. Steiner's letter

ment of street car service. | think
there is a plan which is far simpler.
In every city that l have ever been
in, excepting Honolulu, a stranger
could tell at glance just where the
street car was bound for That can
not be done here. The car says
kalihi-Waikiki. How in the name of
common sense is a person to know
which direction is Kalihi and which
Waikiki, when the cars carry the same
signs going in both directions?
Everyone knows the bathing beach
is at Waikiki. Why not work the con-
ductor or motorman a little harder and
make him turn sign when he gets
to the end of the Kalihi run that will
inform intending passengers that the
car is now prepared to accept fares to
Waikiki? The names of the districts
of the city are clear enough to any
enc, providing they know beforehand
to which one of the two districts on
the sign the car is headed

TAKING CARE OF The BABIES.


Honolulu's proposed "Baby Week. is part
of a nationwide movement which has enlisted
the powerful and scientific aid of Uncle Sam s
department of labor. The children's bureau
of that department has just issued an import
ant bulletin which will be of much value in the
local campaign. .-....<~-... a
For the three years the bureau has been in
existence it has put considerable share of it's
energy into statistical study of the social and
economic causes of infant mortality, planned
with the greatest care and conducted by trained
field agents with all possible precision. The re-
suits of this inquiry are being published, as
the law requires in series of reports which
consist of statistical tabulations accompanied
by descriptive text.
There are many million fathers and mothers
in the United States including many of the
best educated fathers and mothers, who never
read a statistical table and never will Yet
hidden within the figures of the bureaus re-
ports on infant mortality, the reading of which
they will successfully evade, lie stern facts
about the dangers which beset American
babies. 1911. ~.t
s These figures give a clue to the reason why,
on the great average, one baby in eight dies
before the end of the first year of life They
show that this average obscures wide gamut
with comparative Immunity from infant loss at
one end and with fearful infant waste at the
other.
The popular methods Of the Baby Week,
which are those of all astute advertisers, form
an invaluable method of reporting to the par
ents of this nation those standards of infant
welfare (which experts are endeavoring to make
clear.
The Baby Week emphasizes the constructive
side of infant care 1t addresses not only in
dividual parents but communities.
The best test of its value will be the work
that follows IT,
Undoubtedly every state or territorial board
of health shoul6 secure what only six states
have at present a special division of child hy-
giene. No city orstown should fail to provide
Instructive nursing service and to pay constant
heed to the problems Of hygiene and sanitation,
of proper housing and of recreation spaces,
since all these Immediately affect the welfare
of infants.
There are 3009 counties in the United States
In every county seat there, should be a center
for the health work of that :county-a station
for examining babies, and older children, and
for furnishing expert advice fof keeping them
well-in short, a notwithstanding center.

Mr.. WILDER CONTRIBUTES.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin:
Sir: In an editorial yesterday you say
that The disappointed office seekers
who have had their chance and been
passed up by Washington, by their in
sistent howlS are wearing the terri.
tOTy's patience pretty thin" This is
apparently based upon an alleged
statement by my friend. James l..
Coke, that Governor Pinkham is
strong with the administration.
Notwithstanding this purported
statement by Mr.. Coke. |, also Demo
crat OF regularity and activity. and |
can assure you that Lam as close, il
not closer, than Mr. Coke to the Off
Gals at Washington, from the White
House down; tell you that Governor
P.nkham is not perfectly solid with
the administration. No governor can
be perfectly solid with the administra
ton when the President expressly re-
fuses him permission to go to Wash
ington on official business.
The facts in regard to Pinkham' s
clear violations of law, his inatten-
ton to public business, his general
miSmanagement of public affairs. and
his wasting of public funds have not
a. yet been laid before the proper Off
Gals at Washington and the United
States senate. IS they will be.
Here is a sample of his inattention
to public business: A year ago last
October. /. in conjunction with the at
tOrney for tie Dowsett Company, laid
proposition before Governor Pink
ham in writing in regard to perfecting
q title which the legislature even had
recommended in favor of my client
and from that day to this we have not
even had an answer to the written
proposition. Apparently the governor,
between his social stunts and his min
tary craze, has been too busy TO attend
to this matter. His wasting of public
funds and some of his violations of
law will before long be aired i'll court.
Mr.. Editor. you know me better
than to intimate that | am dls.
appointed office seeker, or an office
seeker of any kind, and can tell you
that that portion of the territory's pa
tience which you represent will be
worn more thin before this matter is
settled.
