SENDING THE OTHER MAN TO TAKE RISKS

One foggy. day last week in the City of New York, several air
mail pilots, taking observations from the air, decided that it was too
perhous to risk starting with the mail airplane at the hour the mail
was scheduled to leave. For this they were dismissed and the rest
CT the air force went on strike as 4 protest.
We all know that the u. S. Mail has precedence over everything
else, and we have read many a thrilling tale of how a mail messenger
braVed the rigorS of billiards., floods ~cloudburss and Indians in order
to get the mail through, Their deeds have brought fire into our eyes
al the herolsm displayed, and from our childhood we have harbored
the notion that the mail must start and go through, no matter what
danger But those early pioneers were on solid ground.
Probably the man who ordered the air pilots to take the air mail
INTO the clouds regardless of their protests. was imbued with this same
idea, and his devotion to the cause of the mail delivery is commend
able. But even the most devoted servant to duty must use Judgment
and he made his mistake by a too jealous attempt to perform his
enc II the deal. 1t Is easy Tor a man to sit at a desk and send an
other man out on a hazardous errand, even when the other man
points out that he may lose his life in the doing. Although great
nave been made in the conquering of the air,it is not entirely
conquered, and we believe the Post Office department had best trust
TO the Judgment OF the air pilots who know the currents and condi-
lions which they have to encounter in guiding the mail to its destina-
ton, rather than to insist upon the keeping of a certain fixed schedule,
winch perhaps would mean in the long run the entire loss of the mail,
macnine and man. A good cure for the official who was so insistent
would be to take him up in one Of the airplanes in puffy wind and
let HIM ENJOY CD the rocking of the plane on the air waves. If he
IS at all a umd SOUL we are sure that when he came down he'd have
considerably more respect for his air pilots judgment than he now en-
tertans,

PROGRESSIVE IMPROVEMENT

An item in a Honolulu paper states that Colonel Newcomer
recently declared that Kahuui harbor would be finished in a year, or
sometime next year. Which is good news for Maui, and we are glad
TO hear it. Now if we had another dock in Kahuui bay, or a bigger
dock, which would be an encouragement for the big boats to lay in
alongside of, Maui people would feel as though she were progressing.
1t is improvement of this sort that Maui needs. Hama is on the way
to getting a good up-todate dock. The wheels have been set in mo-
ton and have actually taken a grip on the road to the Improvement
of Lahaina in the matter of docking facilities, which we don't be-
grudge to her a bit. But Kahului feeds the whole western end of
the island and stands a chance of becoming a busy port-provided
there are the means to handle the business. No bay ever became use
full without docking convenences, and boats won't come where there
are no docks-hrSt because it is announcement and second because they
haven't time and third because the delays necesstated by Inadequate
facilities upset the sailing schedules. Now let's all get together and
have space for two steamers alongside Kahului wharves loading SUI
gar AT THE SAME TIME, instead of only one dinky little wharf
where one boat has to be towed out into the stream to make room
when another boat comes in.

THE BIGGEST NEED or MAUI

If somebody told you that fifty percent of the contagious diseases
OF Maui were leprosy and typhoid you would let out a large how! and
YOU and your neighbor would be walking around with long faces and
scared stiff because you might get it. But instead of this percentage
for those contagious disease, the fifty percent each year is tuberculosis
on Maui each year from this contagious disease, which is every bit as
deadly as typhoid or eprosy, is over seven times what is is from the
on the disease pulse OF the county, it kills more than three times as
many people as does cancer.

Since the establishment of Kula santarium ten years ago it has
cared for $40 casesCal it could handle. Within the past sf years
there have been reported $40 cases of tuberculosis on Maui This
means that in spite of all efforts Of kula Sanitarium there have been
treatment. Why? BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ROOM! And
among the healthy people.
A movement is on foot to start a campaign for the doubling of
the capacity of Kula Sanitarium in order to take care of as much Of
the white plague cases of Maui as possible. The County has done all
that it could do-in fact it has been generous to an extreme in provid-
of Maui-but the County is limited. When considered with other com
munhies. the efforts of the County of Maui as regards appropriation OF
money for institutional buildings and maintenance is far and away
ahead of any other county in the islands.
This campaign will be launched on August 18th to raise $4,000
win WhGh 10 double te capacity Oh Nua oanltaIlum' II IS to the
interest OF every citizen on Maui to dig down into his pocket and her
purse and give as much as can be spared for this necessity to the com
MUMMY health. The influenza epidemic which swept the world, and
didn't leave the Territory of Hawaii out in the sweepng,-has added
many to the lists of the great white plague victims. You may have.
need for the services of Kula Sanitarium yourself some day, or some
member OF your family. Imagine the hopeeSsness OF your heart if
such a need went uncared for, because there qGS no room for vu or
your lo0ed ones?
The first law of the community is the health of that community
gone-lt your community is a plague spot? Be ready when the cam
pagn opens-start to save now, and as Henry T. Dawson said about
county is OF as much importance to your family as the Red Cross nurs-

WHERE We LOST OUT

Imports of foreign merchandise into the United States for the eleven
months ending with May 3lst amounted to, in round jumpers, $685.
100000, or $ll8OOOOOO, more than for the corresponding period of
last year. Yet with imports mounting to hitherto unheard of figures,
Mr. Wilson gravey says: There is, fortunately, no occasion for
undertaking in the immediate future any general revision of our system
of import duties"
No, Mr.. Wilson, the figures indicate that there is no possibility
of any very considerable importatons, and it is also true that we have
no pressing need of revenue. But if we did need additional revenue.
the half billion dollars more of revenue which the United States Treas
uy would have received for customs duties had the Payne-Adrch
Act instead of the Underwood Act been in force during the period in
question, would have come in mighty handy. WouLdnt it, MIR. Viii

SOME OBJECTIONS

japanese jingoes object to the treaty because the League Of Ma
lons will be controlled by Anglo Saxon nations, and advocate an ori-
entail league. Senator Reed objects to the League because it will be
dominated by the colored races. Senator Fall objects to it because
the Catholics will be in control. Senator Sherman objects to it be-
cause President Wilson has been instrumental in bringing it about.
Senators Lodge,knox, Borah, PoindeXter, and Johnson objects to it
because such opposition brings them into the spotlight, and may lead
to a Presidential nomination. AS opposed to these formidable forces
there appears to be nothing; that is, nothing but the will of the peo-
of the country, who want the League because it is the greatest
world organization ever attempted and has within ii. the germ of the
