Molasses To Catch Flies

1t is impossible to feel any great
amount of enthusiasm over or inter
est. in the assemblage today of the
Republican to draft and adopt a plat
form. The reason is obvious.
What is a platform, anyway? Mo
lasses to catch flies-words to catch
votes. The average political platform,
when we take into consideration it's
intent and effect, is a combination of
boast, boost and buncombe, mixed
with a few moldy platitudes and seas
oned with promises that those who
are elected on the platforms haven't
the slightest intention of keeping un-
less it suits their political purposes.
Look back at the platforms adopted
by the two political parties two years
ago; what did they amount to? Each
of them, for instance, contained a
plank pledging candidates for the
legislature TO enact a WOman suffrage
law. 1t is a matter of recent odifer-
GUS memory how that plank was OBJ
served.
The public is getting tired of plat
forms that mean nothing. 1t wants
deeds rather han words. Words are
all very well if they mean anything,
but how much do they mean to the
class of men we have been electing
to Office?
Yet, as no political campaign, ac-
cording to present lights of p%olitici-
ans, can be conducted without a plat
form, it might be well for the Repub-
licans today to try to draft one that
is hog-tight and eelproof, one that
successful candidates can not break
or wriggle through. The platform
should outline exactly what the party
proposes to do, in words capable of
but one Interpretation, and then the
candidates should be required to sign
it before a notary so thai there will
be no poss 'li1ty in the future oil their
denying they stood on it or u1"er.
stood what it meant.
Let's have a pla-Gm that is oni
thing more than molasses to catch
flies.-P. C. Advertiser.

Whippet Tank To Be
Seen In Battle Action

HONOLULU, April 23-Visitors
from the islands who are in Honolulu
tomorrow will have an opportunity of
witnessing a battle which will be a
replica on a small scale of a battle
field in France.
This battle, which will be under
the direction of Captain Perry NJ,
Smoot, will pit the whippet tank
against infantry, and will give an ex-
hibition of the work the whippet tank
is required to do in actual battle. 1t
will waddle over trenches, climb shell
c%raters, butt down Instructions and
barbed wire entanglements and spit
fire at every revolution of the wheels.
Exhibition also of the flare signals
and veri-lights as they Were used in
the fighting at the Front will be given.
A grandstand for 5000 people will
be erected, and it is expected that the
spectacle will bring closely home to
the island people what the men have
gone through at the front, how the
money which they subscribed to the
other Liberty Loans was used and
why it is necessary at this time to
have another loan.
After this battle the whippet tank
will be sent to the islands for the
balance of the campaign. 1t will visit
Maui first, leaving on the Claudine
Monday, April %, and if it is possible
to get a boat will be sent to Hilo and
probably Kauai.

Our Island
Contemporaries
There's A Reason

The present statutes prohibit the
supervisors from letting without call
ing for bids, any contract whose
amount shall exceed $1,000.
There are two measures before the
legislature, n in the house and one
in the senate, which seeks to lift this
bar and give the supervisors free
range of action up to $4,000 and $10,
600 respectively.
The possible evils resulting from
such latitude have already been point
ed out by the Star-Bulletin.
The recent Indictments by the
grand jury growing out of alleged ex-
cessive expenditures for election
booths serve to emphasize why every
safeguard should be thrown about the
depending of the taxpayers money.
' The grand jury reports as fact that
the election booths cost the various
counties $4,000 whereas, the jury re-
cites, 5000 would have been sufficient.
This work was authorized without
the calling Of bids.
If there is-to accept the more
charitable version-such loose handl-
ing If public funds even with the
$1,000 limitation, consider what OPP
portunities are presented to unscrup-
ulous persons with positive inclina-
tons towards graft or what little
check is placed upon those of spend
thrift, ~easy-going, careless ways, with
the lid" tilted.
Either of these measures is a threat
against economy and efficiency Of ad-
ministratiOn of public funds. The
temptation to show favoritism would
be increased ten-fold. And favoTit-
ism, we know only too well, is pro-
ductive of neither ironclad honesty
nor service.
While it would i'll become us to re-
gard every future official of Honolulu
as a potential CRATER or a profligate
where public money is concerned, yet
we do know there is a tendency to
play the game" and sometimes there
is a slip, as in the cas- Of the cleo
ton booths.
Wisdom and judgment demand that
we should guard against such mis-
fortune by safeguarding u public
expenditures through publicity and
open covenants openly arrived at
Star-Bulletin.

Takes On New Life

Poultry Association
Takes On New Life
HONOLULU, April 21-After eight
years of inactivity, the Honolulu Poul-
try Association has taken on a new
lease of life. A meeting was held to
decide whether to disband or continue
and it developed that a number of the
Die members had become re-infected
with the fever Of the chicken enthus-
last. It was decided to keep going; to
support the poultry division of the
Territorial Fair, and to offer the Fair
Commission the services of three of
the associations members to act as
poultry judges, thus saving the Com
mission the expense of importing a
judge or judges from the Coast. Wal
ter e.. Wall, j. j. Greene and c. Mon
tague Cooke were the men selected
by President Raymond c. Brown.
The association members will start
a campaign to get in new members
from among the younger element,
and will do all in their power to adj
vance the poultry industry. They
may give al exhibition of fowl in
December.

In two typical rural counties in Wis
tannsin MARATHON and Iowa. made by
E1r. Florence Sherbon and Miss Eliza

med with the problem Of securing
adequate medical and nursing care at
confinement for country mothers.
FOR many mothers such care was
GUand to be practically unattainable,
either because of actual isolation or
because of the expense resulting from
distance from physicians and nurses.
The two greatest needs to relieve
ahese conditions were declared by
the investigators to be good perma-

throughout the year, and county
public health nurse.
County public health nurses have
