CURRAN MEN Dig IN
FOR WAR ON HYLAN
Outlook Gratifies Major,
Who Puts Much Hope in

CAMPAIGN ON IN EARNEST
Republican-Coalition Forces
Know They Are in Fight,
but Are Confident.

The Republican Coalition fight
against the Hearst -Hylan-T -Tammany-
phonebooth organization will begin in
earnest tomorrow. Major Curran,
Senator Lockwood and Vincent Gilroy,
the three leaders on the Republican
ticket, will be in town and their cam
paign managers and assistants will
5ave been inducted into their jobs.
Headquarters for Major Curran are
to be moved from the Hermitage Hotel.
from where his primary campaign was
managed. to more commodious quar-
ters in the Murray Hill Hotel. John j.
Lyons, manager of the Curran cam
paiGn and generalissimo of the Re-
publican forces, will be in active
charge and will have division COM
manders" assigned to the boroughs
and also to organize and get out the
women's vote. wherein Major Curran
possesses great reserve force, Mr..
Lyons believes.
The Curran forces are much gratified
with the turn of affairs. They reallze
they are in fight that they are III
against the task of ousting an enemy
that has dug itself well in and put W
plenty of wire. But they believe the job
can be done. They sense feeling OF
concern on the part of Tammany, grown
out of the remarkable strength exhibited
by James j. Hines in his revolt against
Charles F. Murphy Word to the Cur
ran managers in the last forty-eight
hours is that this apprehension in Four
teenth street IS much more real than Is
admitted by any regular Democrat. This
has been the most encouraging feature
Of the week end developments.
What amounts also to a practical
decision by the Lockwood committee to
suspend further public hearings until
after the election also has been a source
of qualification to the campaigners. They
believe the decision will accrue to Sena-
tor Lockwood's advantage, and by that
to the advantage of the ticket as a
whole. Senator Lockwood will have
headquarters in each of the five bor-
oughS before the end Of this week

A COSTLY MIDDLE

Maui will hold an election next week to name one county official
whose election will be uncontested and but one name will appear on
the ballot. Efforts to avoid the expense to the county of holding
such an election and to avoid a practically complete reTegistration
prior to the primaries for the next general election have proved un-
avaiing.
Nothing new under the sun? Pshaw, of course there is. Ask
any legislator of long experience and he will say there is. Ask any
lawyer long in the practice of his profession and he will say so also.
Legislators in framing a law seek to have it cover every contingency
of which any of them have heard or read, every contingency they can
think of or imagine to be possible to arise, and then-like the proven
bal bolt out of the equally provcrbial blue sky, the unexpected hap
pens, a new contingency appears. And so it is on Maui.
Hawaiian legislators never conceived that it might be found
necessary to hold an election with only one candidate in the field
or that the only way to avoid the holding of such an election would
be the resignation of an incumbent and the withdrawal of a lone
candidate. The deputy attorney general gave an opinion that an
election could be avoided by such method but there are other at
torneys who may not agree with him and candidate =. P. Cockett
will take no chances. And 50 the election will be held, the print
ing of the ballots have been ordered.
Maui will pay the costs which will be $4,000 to $4,000 at this time
and later will pay the costs of practically a complete relegistration
for very few voters will go to the polls Tuesday and the names of
all who do not vote will be stricken from the great register.
Strange indeed are the working Of the law, small wonder that
citizens rail at technicaities and the methods of procedure that are
necessary in the courts for the Interpretation or the enforcement of
statutes.
At the next session of the legislature changes can be made in
the primary election law, a mighty poor one IS it stands, but mean
time Maui pays the costs.

ICED FISH

Two excellent purposes are intended to be conserved by the pro-
posed iced fish ordinance relative to which members of the board
of supervisors have expressed the wish to hear public expressions
next Friday. The proposed county law is intended to prevent the
sale of fish that are unfit for human consumption and is also de-
signed to prevent the Withholding of freshly caught fish and thereby
arifciaIy boosting the price.
From decomposing fish ptomaine poisoning comes perhaps more
often than from any other article of food. Fish starts to decom-
pose, is chilled, warns again and decomposition forthwith resumes.
Subjected to further changes Of temperature decomposition is
checked and permitted to proceed alternately and the fish is neither
to be sold forthwith the law of supply and demand would have, it
is claimed, the effect of lowering prices, at least from time to time.
The language of the law seems to require some attention. 1t
might be construed to prevent the sale of cold storage fish from
the mainland which, it is understood, it is not intended to do. In
section 3 there is provision that the law shall not apply where fish
are frozen within an hour after having been caught and except at
a uniform temperature of not more than 80 Degrees This would
not be complied with while fish were in transit from a cold storage
house to the vessel or from the vessel after arriving here to cold
storage again and thence, later to a market stall. Where fish prices
are so high as on Maui, it is impracticable for large numbers Of
persons to secure any other than cold storage. One proposal is that
the law shall apply only to fish caught in Hawaiian waters.
The proposed ordinance assumes that dark feshed fish spois
more rapidly than light feshed and a criticism of it that has been
heard is that it does not set forth or show that fish kept longer than
the prescribed period are dangerous to the health OF the eater nor
that they are safe for food if sold and eaten within the period
named.
Need of some such ordinance is apparent, the question is whether
the one proposed is what is needed or in the necessary form. On
add subjects connected with it the supervisors invite expressions.

COMMUNITY IDENTIFICATION

In line with the desire to remove the unsighty and to beautfy
surroundings is the step taken by the Fair and Racing Association
in contracting to have a subway electric wiring system at the fair
grounds and replacing of poles with decorative pillars and lights.
1t is not the first act Of the kind the association has taken, witness
the removal of high board fences, replacing them with wire, setting
out bougainvinea and in a short. time there will be the impenetrable
screen of purple and of red.
Nor is it only at the fair grounds that the work of beautifca-
ton is going forward. Along the Paia road there have been planted
pink shower trees which are now giving an indication of greater
beauty that is to come. On the small trees pink clusters have al
ready appeared and it does not require great imagination to picture
mentally how that drive will look two or three years hence. On the
Lahaina road, especially between Olowalu and Lahaina, cocoanut
palms have been planted and other trees as well, the building OF
scenic and coorful panoramas of the future.
In such planting it is but natural that some mistakes should be
made, that young trees should be placed too close together or too
near the roadway. On the makai side of Paia road are examples of
the latter. Young trees have been planted between a ditch and the
road instead of behind the ditch. In a very few years the trees will
branch and spread out so as to sweep the sides OF passing cars and
their roots will tend to press paving upward. Protests will arise
at the suggestion OF removing the trees or shearlng OFF projecting
branches.
Every cement should be given to identifying the coun-
try and the roadsides but a little more careful planning will go to
save community friction in the future.

At the Episcopal Convocation in IIonolul uthe divorce evil has
come in for attention and condemnation. There is a slight recogni-
ton Of the fact that marriage is made too easy in the suggestion
that notice of intention to marry shall be given 81 days before a
license is issued. There are many persons who do not take the or
thodox church view of matrimony as a holy union and regard it
merely as a contract. If as much attention to the selection of hus-
band or wife as to the servicability of a dress or suit Of clothes was
shown, the divorce evil would be mitigated. More difficult mar
rage is even more desirable than more difficult divorce.
