.PROTECTIONF FOR
STREAMS SOUGHT

House bill 2i3. which was killed in
the 1918 legislature. has been revived
by a measure introduced in the house
by Representative Lyman to prohibit
the pollution of springs, streams, riy.
ers, fish ponds, reservoirs. wells and
other waters in the territory within
any Incorporated city.
The former act sought, and the one
now before the house seeks, to pre-
vent the discharge of sewage in
streams running through any city. AT
present some sewerage is discharged
into the Wailuku river, Hilo, and il
is held this is done to avoid the cost
of connecting with the Hilo sewer
system.
There are other small streams, such
as the Waiakea river, where people
get water for domestic purposes, and
the bill purposes that they shall be
protected. The terms of the act. how
ever, will apply only to the city OF
Hilo, as 1t Is the only city having its
geographical limits fixed by the legis-
lature. There are no incorporated
cities In the territory.
Il has been suggested that If the act
is to apply to other cities and towns,
another act may be provided whereby
the geographical limits of cities and
towns are defined.

RAYNONDCASEI IS
ARGUMENT USED

Senator Desha's bill which relates
to the filling Of vacancies on county
boards Of supervisors is destined t.
pass the upper house.
This is the conclusion to be made
from a canvass among senators upon
the bill which would take from the
governor the power OF such appoint.
meut, leaving II to the supervisors
themselves.
Legislators WHO have been consider
ing the measure since the Hawaii sen.
ator first introduced il are using one
argument-GoYernor Pinkham's alp
pcintment work ON Maui
In naming DR.. ]. III. Raymond and
later. Patrick Cockett, for the vacancy.
they say, the governor gave positions
TO men who had previously been de
feated for this very place.
Such power of appointment, they
say, opposes rule by the people. And
II is rule by the people that the pres
ent senate is backing If speeches and
votes already made I'm the upper house
can be taken as evidence.
One suggestion made today was that
If place on board should be va
Gated in comparatively short time
after the entire board took office, the
vacancy should be filled by another
election -.
This time might be made one-haf of
the regular term Of office. IL the va.
cancy occurred in the latter half OF
the term appointment could be made
by the governor or by that board &C
cording to the decision yet to be
reached in the vote on the Desha bill.

{ AN sAPPRECIATIVE FRIEND.

Hawaii is "adyertised by it's loyin gfriends' far
more than We in the islands are able to discover.
Perhaps more effective publicity work is done
than that voluntary contribution of sincere appre-
citation which visitors here vouchsafe in "letters
home. --.
Here, for instance, comes to hand clipping from
the Santa Ana, Cal, Register, with a twO-cOlumn
article by Judge w. II. Thomas, the Californian
pleasantly remembered from his visit of last fall.
The article is one of several contributed to the same
paper. In the present instance, he writes of the
large amount of benevolent phlanthropic and edu-
rational work done in Honolulu.
1t is rather unusual to see in travellers letters
large amount of space bestowed on the territorial
prison system and on that efficient high sheriff,
William Z. Jarrett. Not that the subject is unde-
serving, but that comparatively few tourists look
into the matter of prisons. Judge Thomas did so
and his praise of Sheriff Jarretts work is golden.
The Girls Industrial School, Kapioani Girls
Home Punahou Academy, Bishop Museum and Ka-
mehameha schools are other institutions mentioned
in his article with lively appreciation, and he does
not forget to speak of the pleasures offered tourists
in these islands. Judge Thomas is a discriminating
booster whose praise is the more worth while be-
cause it is based "litte journeys of exploration
in the highways and byways of the city.

TIE ANSWER.

The sinking of three American steamers Yesterday
is Germanys answer TO every note President Wilson
has despatched to Befln since the Lusitania was
torpedOed. T..
1t is also the answer TO those who have been hope
fully repeating for the past few weeks. But Ger
Irany hasn't sunk IN American ship yet.
Repeatedly the unqueStiOnabic fact has been
pointed out that Gcrmanys submarine warfare
made it only a question Of time until American
ships were sunk as British. French. Russian. Span
sh Dutch. Norwegian and Swedish ships were
sunk 1t was only question of time until Germany
would violate international law and her pledges
so ruthessIy that there would Ike question of an
overt act
The stern logic of events has driven Germany to
oose at sea to break the bulldog grip of the British
blockade Her course could not be pursued in OBJ
seryance of American demands. Probably her sub
marine commanders had been instructed to make
as much of an exception possible in the case of
American ships, but as the blockade grew tighter.
even these exceptions became impossible under the
Teuton scheme of frightfulness at sea.
Desperation grows Berlin the war wears
along and the great Teuton fighting machine is nm
able to break the "iron ring. Such desperation
breeds the mad idea of naval warfare which in
avitably arrays against the Germans every neutral
patton. The United States is dealing now not with
a government which is conducting it's affairs in the
channels that ordinarily guide national department
but with a military force run amuck, with a nation
in frenzy of rage hurt by the terrific blows its ad
versay has sent to the very bottom of its physical
makeup. and blinded by its impotence and its suf-
fering for food and war supplies
