Where the People
May Have Hearing

TO the Editor of The Republican

10 lflt fCllOT OF Inc 1NeDuDHtdn,
Sir:
The most important bill that has
come before the legislature or will come
before it, is the red light abatement bill.
Many other bills are important, hut nc
bill can have so vital place in the
welfare of our children, our homes and
our future as this one.
1t is hard to imagine any man of
decency advocating prostitution or
even indifferent to any promised rem
edy, yet there seems to be some men
not able to see their duty clearly when
this subject is up.
The heart of the present proposed
bill strikes at the owner of the building
used for immoral purposes. 1t is there
fore a bill that will be effective if
passed. II is success in most of the
states.
There can be only three reasons foI
opposing this bill: First, the opponent
owns property used for red light pur-
poses. Second. the opponent is in sym
pathy with, prostitution and therefore
opposed TO everything decent Third
ignorance and indifference.
The proposed law is in the senate

HamakuapOko Post
Office Is Robbed

The postoffice and station at Hama
kuapoko was entered an robbed of
about $50 in coin, last Tuesday night.
The man who committed the burglary
is supposed to have escaped to Homo
lulu by Wednesdays Claudine.
Entrance to the station building was
effected by breaking a window The
burglar then with a knife cut away
the lock of the drawer in which Agent
H. Washburn Baldwin had left the
money.
Sheriff Crowell believes that a Fill
ipino eX-prisoner named Francisco is
guilty of the crime. This man had
been working about Hamakuapoko for
some time. The Sheriff learned yester-
day that the man had suddenly ac-
quired an undue amount of wealth, and
had been paying for automobile rides
and other things from large supply
of small coins, which corresponds to
the money taken from the postoffice.
The police have strong expectation of
landing their man in Honolulu.

About 40 members of Aloha Lodge,

unusually pleasant banquet at the
Wailuku Hotel. last Friday evening,
the occasion being the settling of an
attendance contest debt by the vice
chancellor's contingent which had
been defeated by the chancellor-com-

enjoyed the evening any more than
the vanquished, there was nothing to
indicate the fact
The hotel dining room was unusual

in the lodges colors, this work being
largerly done by Mrs. Frank Stevens.
The table was in the form of a big

er, and he succeeded in bringing out
a number of interesting responses
during the evening. But the dinner
itself with turkey as the piece de re-
sistance, was one of the main hits of
the occasion.

Children All Over
Maui Make Gardens
Directors Mathews Finds Much En-
thuSiasm Over Honolulu Trip
PrizeS-WiIl Be More Than 1000
Gardens lie Thinks

"One Hundred Gardens for Keokea,"
is the slogan adopted by the Keokea
school, according to J.. r. Mathews,
director of the county fairs children's
garden department, who made tour
of the Kula district the first of the
week. Also there will be about rs
gardens started by Waiakoa children,
Mr.. Mathews reports.
"The enthusiasm everywhere over
the garden planting idea is extremely
encouraging" Mathews states. Teach
ers are all interested, and the interest
will not stop with the closing of the
school term. A good many of the
gardens are being made on the COM
munity plan as on school grounds and
in the plantation camps where the
plantations are plowing the ground
and furnishing water, but in some dis
tricts there will be great many
gardens made at home by the chill
dren."
Trips To Honolulu Popular Prizes
Mr.. Mathews states that the offer
of trips to Honolulu as first prizes
has excited much greater rivalry than
had been anticipated The poster sent
out week ago have been we'll plac-
ed and boys and girls everywhere
are talking nothing but garden con-
test. "In fact it looks now as though
we set our mark too low when we fix
ed upon 1000 gardens for Maui"
Mathews declared.
Big Demand For Seed
The department received a large
supply of seed through the territorial
marketing division the first of the
week, and Mr.. Mathews and delega-
ton of boy scouts at the Alexander
House Gymnasium have been busy
ever since putting them into packets
and sending them out to committees
which have their ground ready for
planting. The scouts are also busy
planting in beds such seeds as onions,
cabbage, tomatoes, ETC., and plants Of
these instead of seed will be later dis
tribute. This method was decided
upon owing to the scarcity of many
varieties of seed and the likelihood
that there will be still more serious
shortage.

County Will Spend
Loan Fund Money
Loan Fund Commission Pau When
Present Work Is Ended Walsh
Says County Can Do Best - Fear
OF politics" Is Heard

The fact that the half-million dollars
in loan fund appropriations for Maui,
passed by the legislature in the last
days of the session, are to be spent by
the county supervisors and not by a
commission, as heretofore, is a fact
that has just begun to be realized here.
And the realization is drawing COM
ment both favorable and otherwise.
Representative ]. J. Walsh, who was
a prominent member Of the house
finance committee, declares that the
commission plan of handling the loan
fund was done away with because it
had proven expensive and unsatis-
factory. "The county," he holds, "can
do the work cheaper and better than
the loan fund can. There has been
too many experts to pay"
Walsh further asserts that the good
roads on Maui have been built by the
county and not by the loan fund COM
mission, and that the commission's
work has generally had to have lot
of expensive additions after it was
turned over to the county.
Some Fear "Politics"
Under the new law the county sup
ervisors will have sole authority in
spending the loan fund money, after
they have obtained the approval OF
the superintendent of public works.
This giving the territory a string to
the money was a concession, Walsh
says, to those who fear that the count
les cannot be trusted.
In spite of this safeguard. there are
good many of the conservatives"
who are drawing long faces over the
prospect of the rich, and juicy patron
age pie that the supervisors will be
able to dole out to the faithful through
that half million dollars.
No Faith In Honolulu
The civic convention plan of a ter
ritorial road system went by the board
entirely, largely for the reason, Repre-
sentative Walsh states, of the fact
that these territorial roads would be
practically in the hands of Honolulu
boards and officials. "They have the
worst roads in the territory on Oahu" "
said Walsh, so why should they be
given control of the construction and
upkeep of our highways?"

The racing department of the Maui
county fair, consisting of F. B. Cam.

next Fourth of July races, at the meet
ing OF the fair directors on Tuesday
afternoon and had it formally approx.
ed. The racing managers will there
lore Immediately begin active prepar-
ations for what is likely to be the last
big race meeting on Maui to be held
apart from the regular annual fair.
While the directors approved the
program, they also recommended that
it be cut down by two number, or
otherwise shortened so that the events
may all be over by $3.50 o'clock in
order to allow time for a polo match
which is planned to hold also on the
the Fourth.
The program was changed by the
managing committee from the one
first submitted, in number of partic,
ulars. The amount of the purses was
reduced so that now they come with

to guarantee that, barring bad wealth

will well cover the outlay of the meet.

Fair Directors Like
County Agent Idea
Up-TO-Date Mainland Plan Appeals To
Maui Live WireS-Matter Will Be
Further COnsidered-HaS Worked
Well Where Right Man Was Secured

The Maui County Fair e. Racing AS
sociation may stand sponsor for a
county agent for Maui. The sugges-
tion was brought forward, by L. r.
Mathews on Tuesday afternoon at a
meeting of the directors of the associ-
alton, and excited much interest and
favorable comment. Mr.. Mathews
was authorized to communicate with
President Butterfield, of the Massa-
chusetts Agricultural College to as
certain whether or not he could re-
commend a suitable man for the place
should it be decided to undertake the
proposition. 1t was stated that it
would be necessary to raise about
$4,000 to cover salary and travelling
expenses of the right kind of man.
Work Of County Agent
The county agent idea has made
great progress throughout the United
States in the past few years. The job
usually requires the services of an ex-
pert scientific agriculturist with more
than the usual amount of executive
ability and tact. He is supposed to
introduce good farming methods
where ever he can, to help organize
farmers, help them market their crops
and aid them in any other possible
way. The institution has usually
been a great success where a man of
the right qualifications has been secur-
ed.
One of the directors stated that ex-
cept for the uncertainty caused by war
he would be willing to back the idea
for years trial himself; which is
indicative of the way the whole meet
ing looked at the proposition.

Former Maui Man
Killed In France
Karl Ahnall Ends Adventurous Career
After Fighting On Three Fronts
For Two Years With Allies

"Killed in action" somewhere on
the west front in France, is the fate of
Karl Ahnall, one time station agent
of the Kahului Railroad Company at
Wailuku. The news reached Maui
through a newspaper clipping receiv-
ed recently by Mrs. w. f. j. Dale, of
Kahului, from a relative in England,
and has brought the deepest regret to
those who knew the dashing young
officer. His death occurred on the 23rd
or oath of March.
No details have come concerning
the killing, but from the nature of his
duties of scout officer. concerning
which he had written briefly to Mrs.
Dale, there is little doubt of how he
met his fate. 1t is the work of the
scouts on the west front to explore
between the lines in the mo mans
land, work filed with unusual haz-
zard.
Was Wounded Before
Ahnall went to the front with an
Australian regiment early in 1915. He
saw strenuous service on the Gallipoli
peninsula, in Egypt, and lastly in
France. He was wounded by a bomb
at Poziere, France, last September,
but completely recovered and return
ed to the front. From a private he
had had a number of promotions and
was an officer in the Australian divi-
sion when the end came.
Ahnall was a native of Sweden.
During the past two years he kept up
a regular correspondence with Maui
friends. and in the October 20 issue
of the Maui News an extensive ac-
count of his varied experiences, as
culled from some of these letters is
published
