TERRITORIAL AID FOR COUNTY FAIRS

1t is no disparagement of the Territorial Fair to state that it should
not be permitted to overshadow the county fairs or be considered as
taking the place of the smaller fairs. There should be no conflict be-
tween the two institutions. They should complement each other.
But if either is to be emphasized it should be the county fairs.
The county fairs which have thus far been held in Maui and Ha-
waii have been unqualified successes because they have reached a very
large percentage of the people they were intended to benefit. The
Territorial Fair last year was a success also, but not for the same rea-
son. 1t was a magnificent show for Honolulu. A very small proper
ton of the people from the other islands were able to benefit directly
through actually seeing it. And this must always be the case.
Mauis first county fair was of more benefit to a larger number of
people than any other one enterprise ever undertaken in this county.
1t had a lesson for every man, woman and child who visited it. 1t
taught Maui people what could be done by teamwork. 1t opened a
vista of hope for the mar with hoe as well as for the owner of a rs
horsepower tractor. Big and little, old and young had the benefit of
actually seeing what others had accomplished and felt the stimulus of
a healthy competition.
1t is announced that the Legislature will be asked to increase the
$4,000 appropriated by the last session for the Territorial Fair. The
legislature should do this, though at present. the association has a surp-
lus fund of $l1 500, because the fund really amounts to nothing more
than a guarantee against bad weather or other kind of disaster.
But because the county fairs should be considered of first import
ance; because the Territorial Fair must come to be dependent upon the
county fairs, if it is to accomplish its highest purpose, the legislature
should make provision also for financially backing the county fairs.
Mauis first fair was put through on credit advanced by a few in
dividuals. They took a risk that should not have to be asked. Maui's
delegation in the legislature should insist upon having made available
for the next Maui county fair from $4,000 to $1,000 working capital,
as well as backing the appropriation for the central gathering.

ONE LANGUAGE FOR AMERICAN CHILDREN

The Japanese press of the territory il much stirred up over the
impression which has gained ground that an effort will be made in
the coming legislature to pass a bill aboEshing Japanese language schools
in the Islands.
This is exactly what should be done. If it be thought desirable or
necessary that the Japanese language be taught, provision should be
made for teaching it under the auspices of the territorial board of
public instruction, and then it should be permitted only in the upper
grades.
If Japanese children in Hawaii are to be American citizens the
only proper way to go about it is to teach them Amercanism in the
American language right from the start. Foreign languages are all
right for purposes of culture, but they are not the first essentials of an
American citizen.
There should be no occasion for resentment in the fact that the
United States from hence forth will insist upon an alAmercan educa-
ton for its future citizens. We have had our lesson in the matter of
a double allegiance.

TIME FOR AGGRESSIVE ACTION

San Francisco opening its harbor facilities to shipping free of
costs, and the Togo Kisen Kashais decision to cut Honolulu off its
itinerary for its two great new liners to be built, are items of a single
days news that should cause Hawaii to do some serious thinking.
San Francisco deems it worth while to make a bid for the shipping
business of the Pacific, and she is losing no time in offering cinching
Inducements. 1t is also becoming apparent that a mid-PacIfc fuel sta
ton is no longer the vital factor to shipping that it once was-in fact
that this is likely soon to be a negligible consideration as oil fuel comes
more into use, and particularly as motor ships begin to replace steam
driven vessels.
In view of such facts it seems clear that if Hawaii is to get her
share of the big tide of trans-Paciic business that is developing, she
must go after it. She cannot sit back and expect it to come to her
of its own accord.
1t II fortunate that the legislature is about to meet, for it can pave
the way to offering these inducements, which should be equal to those
of San Francisco, and then some.

MAUI NO KA OF And FINE CATTLE

If Maui does not shortly become the banner island of the group
Tor fine beef cattle it will not be for lack of trying. And when it does
the credit will be in largest measure due to the enthusiasm of 5. A.
Baldwin, of the Haleakala Ranch, and Harold w. Rice.
The palm is at present held by the Island of Hawaii, where the
Parker Ranch is said to have the finest Hereford herd of cattle in the
world, developed during a dozen years of hard work on the part of A.
w. Carter, manager of the ranch.
But the Parker Ranch and Hawaii will have to watch their laurels
they are not to be outclassed. The big bunch of fine breeding ami
mails just bought for the Haleakala Ranch and for Mr.. Rice is from
what is believed to be the best stock in America. A part of the sections
is from a herd of so which averaged, at auction sale $3845 each.
Maui has already made good progress in breeding good cattle and
her future in this direction now looks particularly bright.

HILO HAMPERED BY HEALTH BOARD

Lest some of our readers may still be inclined to the belief that on
objections to the administration of health matters on Maui are no
founded, we are reprintng a part of a long editorial from tn
lilo Tribune on the delinquencies of the territorial board of heald
n connection with the recent influenza epidemic on the Big Island
This is but a sample of a series of serious indictments against tn
lealth department in the Hlo press, which leaves no room for doub
the work of the board has been highly unsatisfactory to Hill
people.
This being the case, why should Hno be obliged to depend upo
cumbersome, slow moving, and always inefficient organization ii
honolulu when she knows what she wants and how to get it?
Here's the Tribunes plant
IAN END TO PRETENSE
There is no use in attempting to pretend that the
public is satisfied with the attitude of the health author
tiles toward the influenza. 1t has a n uneasy sense,
rather than a conviction, Of evasion, disagreement, obsun-
ay and fumblng. 1t feels the situation is herding the
authorities, not that the authorities are mastering the stu
ton. 1t mumbles and grumbles and has no clear voce Of
its own. 1t submits, but with no confidence in the COM
mand and no wise, firm, positive leader in sight.

1.-THE newspapers of Hno hitherto have dealt very
temporarily and patiently with the Board of Health. They
have accepted all the statements it issued at their face
value and have placed the best construction possible on
the news IS the Board wished to have it. They have a
sense Of responsibility and a realization of the hurt done
by exaggeration. But if the Board wishes to continue
what can be a useful alliance, it will have to prove it's
good faith by putting aside all equivocations and telling
not only the truth, but the whole truth the whole of the
time. Otherwise the Publicity Committee of the Board
of Trade will become a farce and the campaign of educa-
ton which it initiated will take a very different turn"

We have had it explained to us why churches, dances, and theatres
should be tabu, while schools should not be closed, and the reason has
appealed to us as logical. Now we wish the board Of health would take
US into its confidence and tell us why EIks and Masons, and K. of Ps
and Foresters, and Red Crossers do not endanger each other when
toregather1ng for their respective purposes. Is it because of the pure
spirit of brotherhood and sBterhood under which their gatherings are
held?

TERRITORIAL And COUNTY PROJECTS

OlSbS IC Odilu NSouO III 'N fSSUNN NSN
e coming session, the Honolulu Advertiser outlines a general prog
can be subscribed to by the other islands. Whether Homo
IN fill in the details of the plan thus outlined that will be equ
asonable remains to be seen. The Advertiser says
There is only a certain amount of money that can be
appropriated. Each district is entitled to its fair share,
but the apportionment should be made in every instance
on the basis OF what is going to be of the most benefit to
the most people.
The members Of the Oahu delegation are not called
upon, therefore, to go to the legislature and try to get
all they can grab for this island. At the same time, they
should look out for the interests of this island as well as
for the interests of the Territory as a whole.
There are things this island needs and must have that
are equally essential to the entire Territory. There is the
matter Of the improvement Of our harbor, for instance.
True, it is Honolulu Harbor, but Honolulu Harbor is the
gateway of Hawaii and the prosperity of the whole Terri
tory is dependent upon its being put in such condition
that it can accommodate the great volume Of shipping that
will come here if we can handle it.
1t is going to take a very large amount Of money to
construct Honolulu Harbor and build the wharves and
sheds necessary. This money will have to come out Of
territorial funds. But its expenditure will not be for the
benefit OF Oahu alone but for that Of all Hawaii.
At the same time, it is the particular business Of the
members OF the Oahu delegation to handle the matter,
for We n most directly interested.
We need money for roads, for reclamation projects,
for Waikiki beach and for other public improvements.
These are all big projects and should take precedence
over all small matters.
The Oahu delegation should go into the legislature
with a definite and carefully thought out program and
then stick to it. Under no circumstances should cheap
political considerations be permitted to endanger the
carrying out Of that program.
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1919-02-07

There Should be no stntng Of money in developing Honolulu har-
Dor, and the outside islands should be willing to stint on other things
to see this project put through right. That it is a territorial project
in the broadcast sense should not be open to question, and the Importance
of getting it done fast should warrant sacrifices if necessary to &C
compEsh it.
Whether the reclamation of the Waikiki swamps should be con-
sidered in the same category of territorial projects is open to question.
The improvement would benefit the territory to be certain, but so would
a belt road through the Ditch Country of Maui, or an automobile road
to the top of Haeakala, which Honolulu has never shown any signs
of considering territorial projects. In fact the Honolulu proposal is
even less a territorial matter because the benefit to private property
should more than offset the cost. In any event Honolulu should be
given a free hand to do that job herself without sadding any of the
responsibility of seeing it paid for upon the territory.
We believe, however, that Waikiki beach development should be
done by the territory, and for the same reason we have always held
that a road to Haleakala, or one opening up the scenic grandeur of East
Maui should be the work of the territory rather than of the county
They have to do largely with tourists and tourists are a territorial asset

names at the hotels could be found
against Saunders and the woman and
the police were forced to release them
today. Williams, however, Is certain
to go to Lansing, it is said, as a medi-
cal examination found him diseased
and he must undergo treatment at
the prison. In addition he has been
identified by the proprietors of a To-
cal pawnshop as the man who sold
watch stolen from room in the
Chesterfield hotel last week. He de-
MES stealing the watch.
The police say they have informa-
ton that Saunders stayed at the
Chesterfield hotel with Williams,
while Inez Hofner, who claims to be
his wife, stayed at the Hotel Throop
under another name. At the same
time. the police claimed to have learn
ed that Saunders obtained "a room at
the same hotel with his wife under
still another name. They denied any
thing Interior in their movements
claiming to be Oklahoma oil persons.
