TAFT AT HEALTH CONGRESS
Dr. 1. S. . lratt, president of tin? territorial
1xnnl of health, who was sent by Hawaii to at
tend,, the fiftmith animal congress of hygiene
and demography, at Wa.shinton, D. C., is hav
ing a notable experience. Progressive work and
J(fnslatitii Tfor health has Ikvii advocated in a
number of. hniKirtajit addresses. The advan
tages for Hawaii from representation at this
eongress will be fully realized, it is certain, by
Dr. Pratt's attendance.
Perhaps the most .Advanced idea put forward
in that for a national bureau of health,. the plans
fof which have been indorsed by President Taft.
"We need to develop under governmental aus
plrea ii "bureau or a' department in which the
funds of the government shall be expended for
rwarch of . every... kind useful in the practice
and enforcement of hygiene and preventive rned
iclne' kiid the pivsident in delivering his ad
dress of welcome to the delegates.
"That something of this sort may grow out
of tlu present United StaU piibl-c health serv
ice there - is reason to believe' ontinued the
president, "but it will need far greater appro
priations, and a widening of the scone of duties
before it shall fulfil the kplaee he mcdieal pro
fession of this country has a right to exjject, the
general government to, create, jn the 'progress, of

IN NICARAGUA
has been Mong since Ilncle Sam's men met
an enemy on foreigii soil and v engaged iii a
pitched battle, and Saturday's fight in Nica
ragua,' while inconsiderable in the number of
ben lost by the forces under Soutlierland, is an
important affair. .
v y The right of the United States to send forces
to Nicaragua is perfectly clear, so clear that
not one of the-big powers is likelj even to ques
tion: ..it,--; -The retyel armies under Oen. Zeladon
and. (Sen Mena the; former, .secretary . of , var
and real revolutionary leader joined in a note
of defiancVto Admiral Sotitherland, announcing
'their' purjKJse : to oppose his advance, Mouther
land was under orders 1 'rpni Washington to open
the railroad south from Managua, the capital,
and to relieve the ierrible suffering in southern
Nicaragua, where thousands were in a state of
starvation.
; Having exhausted every peaceful means to
open the railroad and relieve Granada, Soutlier
land had n(i alternative but to resort to military
force. Once started, it was necessary for him to
"cii't his way through the opposing rebel ariny.
, Uncle Sam's moral right to protect American
projKrty is unquestioned. The rebels have not
only seized American plantations, but have con
fiscated American steamers on Lake Nicaragua
to be used as transportation for their troops
and for bombarding lake towns. Furthermore,
Nicaragua is well settled with Europeans of
many nations and America's Monroe doctrine
wmpels Tilde Sam to put a stop to a revolution
.that if unchecked would demand the landing of
Kurojeau forces on the continent protected by
this doctrine.
Washington wishes only to put down a silly
and disastrous internal relellion. Uncle Sam
has no designs on Nicaragua and the American
troops will be withdrawn when the rebels have
laid down their arms.
PURCHASING PRESIDENCIES
If the big powers are still intent on loaning
$50,000,000, they might give Turkey a chance
now.
The people of the country are not likely to
take seriously .T. Pierpout Morgan's statement
thta he exjMH-ted nothing from the national ad
ministration in return for contributions of
$100,000 at a throw.
Nor are they likely to be credulous enough to
Irtdieve that William Flinu, notorious Pittsburg
,boss, and ieorge W. Perkins, the Wall street
-handy man, are tossing fortunes into Koose-
velt's campaign just for fun. (Mir idea of an optimist is either' William Jen-
Nor are they . likely to believe that Charles nings liryan or Sir Thomas Upton.
LETTERS 1 TIMELY TOPICS
l!Ml'il. Hilles, chairman of the IlermMican national
committee, can make a door-to-door canvass of
Wall street, hat in hand, and get that hat gladly
filled from the Mekets of men whose trusts may
Ik attacked by Tafts attorney-general.
It is asking more than ordinary credulity can
stand to expect the people to believe that these
huge campaign funds are given without soniej
kind of assurances in return. The Taft cam
paign coffers are filled, it is safe to say, by
American manufacturers and financiers who
are in sympathy with his tariff attitude, and
who have profited under the tariff law that he
called "indefensible" but has kept in force by
refusing to sign any tariff revision measures un
til his own board has m$de an adequate report.
Taft's course has been a hard one, lie has stuck
to this announced program for tariff revision at
the loss of political prestige.
The whole subject of campaign treasuries
filled by "big business" is distasteful to the
high-minded men of all parties. May the time
come when the popular-subscription plan, where
the people of a nation send in their dollars, as
Democrats are now doing for Wilson, entirely
supplant the pernicious practice of mulcting
corporations who will grow fat on a slight
stretching of the law in their favor.

If Ambassador Keid retires, there will be a
chance for C. IJ. Crane, the Chicago millionaire,
who was a diplomat once for about a minute.
That was in 1909, and Taft yanked him back' be
fore he had even accumulated a respectable
bunch of hibels on his traveling trunks. Crane
was so irritated that he has joined both the
Democratic and Progressive parties to the ex
tent of contributing , to the campaign funds of
each. Crane intends to be a diplomat in spite
of Taft, and it would appeal to him as sweet re
venge if, after having been decapitated by Taft
as minister to China, he should land the pre
mier berth at the Court of St. James.

A meeting of the social and mission
workers of the city will be held in the
Merchants' Association rooms, 45
Young building, on Thursday evening,
October 10, for the purpose of seeing
what can be done toward the framing
of proper laws in which the workers
might be interested, in view of the ap
proaching session of the territorial
legislature.
Two years ago the various social
and mission workers of Honolulu met
to organize a league of social work
ers. This organization, however, be
came dormant last year, due very
largely to the neglect of called meet
ings. "I feel that we are working in
splendid isolation," said James A.
Rath, head worker of Palama settle
ment, in letters sent to the various
workers throughout the city, "and if
we wish to accomplish anything, not
only for ourselves, but for the com
munity at large, it behooves us to get
together."
Proposition to Continue Bitu
lithic Paving Around
to Wharves
Honolulu is gradually acquiring
mileage of paved streets, the latest
stretch being from Nuuanu to River
street. This has been done in bitu
lithic by the Bitulithic Paving and
Concrete Co., Ltd., under the personal
direction of its president and manag
er, Jos. A. Gilman. Its construction
is a base of five inches of concrete
with a covering of two inches of bitu
lithic. The contract embraced 10,827
square yards, nearly four-fifths of the
area being on Queen street and the
remainder bending round through Riv
er street to the King street bridge.
The price was $31,000.
Connecting at Nuuanu street with
the w&od block pavement laid fpur
years ago, this piece of bitulithic
places Queen street In a class with
the best metropolitan streets any
where. It is hard and durable, guar
anteed by the contractor to sustain
the heavy traffic of that thoroughfare,
and has just enough "bite" to its sur
face to prevent the slipping of hoofs
and the skidding of auto wheels.
Mr. Gilman haa in possession the
latest data of bitulithic paving. Up
to the end of July there had been laid
in the United States 4,500,000 square
yards of this kind of street paving.
Committees of Investigation appoint
ed by many civic and municipal bod
ies have reported favorably on this
road-making material." To keep a bitu
lithic roadway in presentable appear
ance, it should be regularly swept and
occasionally flushed down with wat
er. Thte treatment will keep l Clean
and prevent the dust nuisance.
A proposition is pending with the
hoard of supervisors, to lay bitulithic
fpa.vmat Jroiaahc'end of th$ Queen
street or; at Kiver; street arouna io
the Hackfel -'wharfs which can be
done for1 approximately $4500: This
short piece of road, together with the
part of Queen street Just paved, has
contributed one of the worst tribula
tions that both-residents and strang
ers have had to endure in going to
and from the steamers at that part
of the waterfront. If the additional
paving here mentioned be made, the
same route will be one of the finest
drives in the business section, of Ho
nolulu. . , . ,
If the supervisors put this improve
ment through, there is a prospect that
private enterprise will carry it fur
ther. At a meeting of the directors of
the Oahu Railway and Land Co., with
in a few days, will be considered a
proposal to continue the ' pavement
from the Hackfeld wharf, if the super
visors carry it that far, to the American-Hawaiian
Steamship Co.'s dock,
at the expense of the railway com
pany. It is not often that two birds
cofne into the range of one stone M
way that the present opportunity of
the city brings about. Mr. Gilman
says that the pavement can be laid
to the Hackfeld wharf inside of three
.weeks from closing the contract.
