GENTLEMEN:
At the regular meeting of
the Police Jury held this day,
ing attention was called to
the fact that there have been
a number of accidents due to
the fact that the speed limit
ordinance, and the ordinance
in regard to lights on auto
mobiles, adopted at a regular
meeting of the Police Jury
held July 5th., 1917, are not
being observed.
For the Safety of the pub.
lie it has become necessary
that both these ordinances be
enforced. The viola tors of
these ordinances are going to
have to be arrested and dealt
with in accordance with law.
and | am going to ask the
hearty cooperation of each
and every one of you in the
enforcement Of the ordin.
ances.
Yours very truly,

Waikiki section. i is an ugly blot on one Of the
greatest tourist assefs in the territory.
For more than three years the Outrigger Club has
sought TO end this nauseating condition. No less
than four separate and distinct schemes have been
proposed all of which proved unworkable. The
c|nb finally was assured that the Waikiki reclama

FEDERAL PERSECUTION.
fFrom the San Francisco chrcniele

fFrom the san Francisco ChrcnieleJ
Congress has adjourned withont passing segen the
measure of temporary and tentative relief to those
who unable 10 fight the tremendous resources of the
government, may be willing to save part of what
justly belongs TO them by surrender of the other
part. The whole business must now 60 over 10 the
next Congress-, and meanwhile the secretary of the
navy and the attorney-general will be free to con
tinue their persecution OF honest men.
If the desire Of the United States government is
to create dsloyaly no better course could be taken
than that which, under the inspiration of the
tary of the navy it is taking toward oil companies
which were engaged in development years before any
oil lands were withdrawn and whose titles have been
judicially settled
Millions of dollars have been in good faith ex-
pended by these companies whose property is sought
to be coniscated on some technicality which the
attorney general hopes TO discover and make stick.
Seventeen such suits have just been filed in def
ance of the obligation which rests upon all govern
ments TO deal justly by their citizens. And no gov
ernment which disregards equity long retain the
respect and love Of its people. A multitude of
citizens, few wealthy but most poor are threaten
ed by these proceedings
One test case has been adjudicated by the interior
department. from which there lis no direct appeal to
the courts on the question of title.
In this case, the decision was bs the commissioner
OF the land Office from which an appeal lies to the
secretary of the interior, who however, being fam
liar with the has expressed his approval of the
decision. That decision was that in that case con-
sfrueton of roads and providing water supply was
development work within the meaning Of the Taft
withdrawal order when subsequently pursued to
discovery
It would seem that the secretary of the interior
ought not to permit person outside his department
TO interfere with the ordinary course of justice with
in his department, but should issue the patent and
let the secretary of the navy go hang lsss
The people of the United States have no wish to
ronfiscate property lawfully belonging to their fe
low citizens.
