Two Sensible REGULATIONS

Number One of the regulations
promulgated by the Board of Health
for the prevention and control of the
disease known as Spanish influenza
orders that the proprietors of all ho-
tells, restaurants, clubs and boarding
houses within the Territory of Ha-
wall SteriliZe, after each and every
use thereof, dishes, glassware, cutlery,
and table linen by boiling the same
for a period of at least twenty min
utes.
Regulation No. 2 orders that the
proprietors of soda water fountains,
soft drinks and ice cream establish
ments, counters and fountains shall
sterilize, after each and every use
thereof, all drinking glasses, spoons
and other eating and drinking utensils
by boiling the same for not less than
twenty minutes.
Is there anybody who eats or drinks
from public cups and dishes who
would object to assurance that the
spoon he puts in his mouth, the plate
that carries his food or holds his
soup, or the glass he lifts to his lips,
is clean, not only for the period Of
the influenza scare, but for the per-
iod of his commerce with all vendors
Of food and drink? Regulations No.
l and 2 could remain in force to the
end Of time without any protest from
the general public. If anybody can
discover means of making them per-
petual, he will be a public benefactor.
AS a matter of fact we all eat off
dirty dishes, in our own homes as
well as in public houses. An indus
t,;aI oLoy,icf nnon mazda hiDncalf hioh-
ly unpopular by declaring that the
domestic habit of washing dishes by
soaking them all together in a pan OF
hot soap and water and then drying
them all with the same cloth was as
effective a process as could be devils
ed for coating them with a thin film
of invisible grease in which to propa-
gate germs taken from one mouth and
intended for distribution in another.
If the glaze Of the plate is cracked,
so much the better for the germs.
They get more nourishment and less
disturbance.
All dishes ought to be sterilized
after each meal. There is not the
least likelihood that they will be, in
the lifetime of anybody now born, but
we may live to see 1t required Of all
public eating houses.-Hilo Tribune.
II the Matsonia was capable of be-
ing fitted up to carry 5000 soldiers
home in tolerable comfort, she ought
to be made suitable for accommodate
ing say, 1000 tourists. In that condi-
ton the big Matson boat would fairly
well take care of the passenger trans
| portation problem while the capacity
OF the line was otherwise being ex-
banded as promised.-Star-Bulletin.

respective communities in whatso-
ever ways they can. Such men,
though they are not citizens-more's
the bity-are a moral, social and eco
nomic asset" to the country.
Again, there are men,-we hope,
however, their number is not legion,
though it is to be feared they are too
numerous for the country's good-who

with the idea that citizenship stands
for privilege rather than for respon.

ic officials, of all grades, who have
the habit of acquisition, in whose
minds place" and Political prefer
ment,' or, it may be, The Pork Bar
rel hulks far more largely than does
THE COMMON GOOD. Such men
citizens though they be, are "a liabil-
ity" TO the country, whatever is their
rank or standing in it.
However, we are living in good
times. Separatism and selfish politics
are having a hard time in the United
States in these days. Democracy is
a word with a new and more sacred
meaning to us. We are learning the
.ght Interpretation of the classic
saying: In things essential unity, in
things non-essential liberty, in all
things charity" Our citizenship is
being lifted up more and more on to
the plane TO which it belongs. The
watchword of the hour should be,
should it not? "a better quality of
citizenship" rather than more citi-
zens.
The ballot box is a great factor in
The nations life, and its importance
can scarcely be exaggerated, but it
is not the only factor. If the only
place where a mans citizenship
functions is the polling booth at cleo
ton times, when he is placed in the
balances he will be found wanting.
Such a man should be taught, shall
| say, must be taught; that while our
country exists for his well being, it
should, and must be, his aim and pur-
pose in life to live and labor for the

Pity The Editor
This Is h open season for editors.
Really all editors, on general princi-
pies, should be shot at sunrise. If
there is in creation any more thank
less and unsatisfactory job than that
OF being an editor it would be hard
10 find. If you try to be fair and give
proper publicity to both sides of a
question you are looked down upon
by both parties to the dispute as
having no conscience and less than
no backbone. If you take sides you
incur the enmity of a large number
OF people, some of whom are perhaps
among your best friends. And you
probably displease even your own
side by hitting the other fellow too
hard or not hitting him hard enough.
If there was much money in the job,
however, that in itself might be some
compensation for the mental distress
inseparable from making innumerable
enemies and worrying ones own
friends. But there is little money in
the editors's job, because the editor
as a rule is too busy thinking about
other peoples welfare to bother about
his own, and so doesn't have time or
inclination to go On strike for higher
wages like other Independent mortals.
Who ever heard of a strike of edi-
tors? If there is any truth in the re-
ligious theory that a mans reward in
the hereafter is in inverse ratio to
his sufferings on earth, there must
surely be a cozy corner in heaven
laid up for I'VE editor. New Free

partmept of Public Instruction. More
than thirty men presented themselves

Promotion Committee
Would Change Nam

Would Change Name
Hawaii Tourist Bureau will be
the new name of the Hawaiian Pro
motion Committee, providing the legls
lature agrees to the recommendations
to be made by the promotionists.
The old name has been a source OF
confusion upon the mainland, being
regarded as the name of a real estate
or land company organized to boost
the sale of lands Or to bring in set
tiers, not a bona hde tourist bureau.
Hllo Bank Aids School Gardens
An appropriation Of $3.50 has been
made by the First Bank of Hilo to
encourage school children's gardens,
and this sum will be distributed in
prizes according to plans to be work
ed out by the committee On gardens,
says last Sundays Hilo Tribune. 1t
is probable that 1t will take the form
OF an award for the produce from the
gardens.
The interest in gardening among

the school children was first awaken
ed by patriotic appeal for war gar
dens about two years ago, and has
been kept up by contests and other
methods since. Boys and girls both
have taken part, the only condition
being that the actual gardener is a
school pupil.

Permanent Bureau For NaturaIi-
cation To Be Recommended

In connection with the report to be
sent to Washington shortly by Natu-
ralization Examiner w. M. Ragsdale
it is probable that the department
will be advised to established a per-
manent bureau of naturalization here,
particularly to look after the applica-
tons Of soldiers. The report of the
examiner, who was sent to Honolulu
a few weeks ago to assist in naturali-
cation work here, will be forwarded
to the department in the course Of a
few weeks.
UP to date Naturalization Examiner
Ragsdale has examined 430 soldiers
in addition to a number of others and
as the military establishment here is
to be increased considerably, it is
thought that work for a permanent
bureau will not be lacking.
Cable Broken But Wireless Helps Out
There is break in the Pacific Com
mercial cable line between Honolulu
and Midway, interrupting service to
Guam and Manila.
The United States Naval Communi-
cation Service announced that the
government radio, will take care OF
messages from the Territory OF Ha-
wall to both Guam and the Philip
pines, at the following rates:
To Guam rs cents a word; to Mani.
la so cents a word plus inter-island
forwarding rates.
