SELF DISCRIMINATION

just criticism by Portuguese and persons of Portuguese descent
of a tendency in some circles to discriminate between Portuguese
and "whitcs" was given publicity in these editorial columns last Fri
day. Today it is proposed to inquire whether the fault lies all on
one side, whether or no American citizens of Portuguese descent are
in any wise to blame for the discriminatory words or phrases which
were complained of.
1t maywel be asked whether the descendants of the Portuguese
in the Islands are not primarily responsible for there being a dlshnc-
ton made between Portuguese and other whites" On the face
of it the responsibility lies i'll part with them. There is a noticeable
tendency among numbers of them to designate themselves "Portu-
guese" in conversation with themselves most frequently but not I'M
commonly when talking to others. Some Of them may sometimes be
heard to speak Of Portuguese and haOles" in distinction or in diff
ferentation from other white nationahties. ''Haoe' is generally
interpreted as distinguishing the white races from the yellow or
the brown in the Islands and if the Portuguese or their children or
grand children use the word to describe others it may well be that
such others will accept a differentiation so made.
To q person whose ancestry extends back through years in Am
erica it is particularly distasteful to hear the descendants of persons
of other countries call themselves of the nationality of such parents
or ancestors. Birth in these United States carries with it citizen
ship of them, American citizenship of which the owner may well be
proud and in which he may rejoice. Why then call himself POrtu-
gueSe, Spanish, British, German o + any nationality other than Am
erican. During the war Americans strongly objected to hyphenated
citizenship and it is still Objectionable. 1t would be bad enough to
speak of Observation-Disclosures but to leave out the word American
makes it a shade worse. One hears of the Portuguese community
and the Portuguese vote. Both would be small and insignificant in
number were only the former citizens of Portugal included in such
categOries, but their children and grand children are included and
one is prone to inquire how many generations it takes to make an
American recognize that he is an American and nothing else.
Last week this paper said it was opposed to discrimination or
words implying discrimination against the Portuguese" equally
it is opposed to the Portuguese making any differentiation of them
selves from other good Americans.

No better disposition Of fines resulting from convictions of viola
tons of the prohibition laws could be found than to spend them at
least in part for the support Of child welfare work as was suggested
to the board of supervisors last week. Liquor has been and is today
responsible for the largest proportion of dependency.

CHILD WELFARE FUNDS

In their efforts to keep county expenditures within county means
the board of supervisors reduced appropriations for child welfare
work and for the care of pensioning of old and helpless persons. Last
week the board found means to increase the funds available for con-
tinuance of child welfare work though the amount available is con-
siderably less than what was being expended in the latter months of
last year. The action was taken after the Chamber of Commerce
had passed a resolution urging it and after members and friends of
the board of child welfare had presented arguments which show
there is no work on Maui more important than that board is doing.
Ill directed charity tends to paupomze but the assistance rend-
cred to mothers and children deprived of the support of husband
and father is not so designed and does not, generally, so result. This
is shown by the fact that in a little more than two years SO families
that were so assisted have become self reliant and self supporting.
It's purpose is to keep the family together under the shelter of a
mothers love and care and it fulfls its purpose well as any who
will quickly see. For the work it does its overhead expenses of $3.50
a month are truly insignificant. ii a pity it has had to strike from
its lists those who have a little money laid aside to meet an emer-
gency such as sickness, to make it so a family must be practically
destitute before it can be helped for the consciousness of having some
savings in the bank, a little reserve some where is a great asset for
self respect. 1t is to be hoped ways and means can be found for
caring for such families as well.
Senator Baldwin has said he wished the law had passed as it
was drafted so as to make it obligatory upon the counties to meet
the needs of the boards of child welfare and that he would be glad
to see a special tax imposed to provide the funds for the work. Maui
News goes further even. 1t would gladly see a special tax but be-
heves that such special tax on property should be supplemented by
a special poll tax, a per capita tax on every adult individual of both
sexes.
In its care for the destitute from county funds, in its child well
fare work financed by tax monies, in its special taxes for the sup
port of the hospitals and sanitarium, Maui is on the right track and
away III advance of the other counties. For those purposes it spent
last year $225,OOO, nearly a quarter of its income. Such means of
meeting those expenses is a recognition of the responsibility of the
social organizatiOn'for its own faults. The care of the sick and in
Jured, the fatherless and the orphans, the delinquent is not rightly
kindness nor charity but a profound obligation and duty of the social
organization which no member can rightly shirk.

DR.. Baldwin was right when he said that if county stock was in
the stable without food money would be found somewhere to get
hay and grain for them and that mothers and children are of far
greater value than mules The board of supervisors is hard put to
it for funds but there is a strong feeling that dependents upon child
welfare funds and the county indigents should not be the ones who
must suffer chiefly in consequence.

If the interviews accredited to Senator Desha are correctly pub
Eshed he is in the position of seeking to intimidate the Republican
party by threats. Such language as is attributed to the reverend
legislator has a tendency to retroact against his candidate and
against himself.

1t is a suggestion that has been heard and upon which county
officials might act that county prisoners who are not capable of work
upon the roads might be seated along the Waikapu side of Main
street on the side walk, armed with a hammer and stone chissel to
roughen up the walk which is dangerously slippery on the block be-
tween High and Church street.

Increase of the poll tax from So to $40 or even $5 is advocated
by DR.. Milton Rice of Eo to aid the territorial educational program
and prevent the exclusion Of any pupils from the schools. For
grammar school purposes the proposal is all right but for high school
suggested.

Provision for delinquent girls in Hawaii County has been made
by the board of supervisors of that county in an appropriation OF
$3.50 for the first half of 1922 for maintaining a home under the
supervision of the Salvation Army. Each county should have its de-
tention homes for both girls and boys and the Salvation Army has
shown its ability for their conduct in many places and at many times.

A bond in the Maui County Fair and Racing Association is an
investment secured by property four times as great as the loan being
hoated and bears interest at 6 percent per annum. Many a person
wishes his investments were drawing down that return in interest
or dividends at this time.

Decreases of 80 percent in the freight rates on automobiles be-
tween the coast and the Islands are announced. Now let's see
whether the decrease is reflected in the prices of machines announced
by the dealers. In all commodities freight rate increases are ever
used for an excuse to raise prices but when the decrease comes deal
es are apt to forget to make reductions or else to remark that
freight costs are inconseQuential any way"

Tank Cars to Carry Milk.

Tank cars for oil are common
sight, but tank cars for milk are some
thing distinctly new. The first install
lation of this kind was made recently
for a large dairy in Pittsburgh, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. Two
2,50o-gallon steel tanks are mounted
on each car. These tanks are of heavy
welded plate steel, with glass lining,
and are insulated with cork. Fused
into the metal at extreme heat, the
glass forms a smooth surface, which
is easily cleaned and will stand Sc
we're usage. Inside each tank is mo-
tor-driven agitator. Run for five min
utes before emptying the tank, it gives
uniformity to the contents.
Milk chilled to a temperature Of SO
to 40 degrees is maintained at that
temperature in the tanks without fur
Their refrigeration. Similar tanks are
mounted on wagons and motortrucks
for hauling the milk from the railroad
to the dairy or collecting It along cOun-
try roads.

New Check on Criminals.

AS if the way Of the transgressor
were not hard enough already, Doctor
Locard, a worldwide authority on GRIM
inal Identification. has elaborated two
new plans which seem to have been
received with favor In the French
criminal courts. In "poroscopy,"
Doctor Locard considers the number,
form and position of body pores re-
main the same throughout all ones
life. The impression Of the pores,
in his system, is colored by chemical
vapors or very fine powders so that
they may be photographed with the
aid of a microscope. Graphometry'
consists in the theory that handwriting
shows always a certain relation in
size between letters and unmistak-
able characteristics in form, particu-
larly of loops.-Scientific American
