MAY 11, 1912 Maui the Model County. FOR some time past when comparisons are being made re gard g conditions on the different islands, Maui is invariably taken as a model for the others to pattern after. Maui possesses no natural advantages over any other island in the group, still we are looked upon as the model island. There must be a reason for this, and some man or a set of men deserve the credit. Maui has public spirited citizens who have always been willing to lend their best efforts for the betterment of the county Maui has been fortunate in electing men to the county offices, who represent the highest standards of integrity and ability, and to all of these belong a share of the credit for making Maui what she is today. ( When the Loan Fund Commissions were appointed for the different islands, the governor named men to serve on each commission whom he thought would be fitted to serve the best interests of the com munities. Again Maui got far and away the best of the deal. Take a look at the czarlike attitude of the different members of the Oahu l-oan Fund Commission. Almost immediately they managed to get into a controversy chiefly because of their high and mighty attitude. They have been getting the worst of it, and will continue to get the worst of it so as long as they assume their present attitude. In the meantime, the taxpayers are paying the fiddler. They have spent $7,000, and nothing to show. for it but an old grey horse. The Maui Loan Fund Commission has at its head Mr. W. F. Pogue, who has probably done more to put Maui in the forefront of the counties than any other single individual. Mr. Pogue ,with the cooperation of the other members of the commission, has so far expended the monies of the commission in a most judicious manner, yet this week he goes before the Maui Chamber of Commerce, and asks that a committee from that body be appointed to confer with the commission, to deter mine the best possible expenditure of all funds, tfere is the great secret of Maui's prosperity. No Star Chamber sessions here, but a free and open discussion of what is best for Maui. This suggestion of Mr. Pogue's is so far in advance of anything which possibly could occur on Oahu or Hawaii, with the present commissioners in office, that the mere thought of such a thing will probably send cold shivers running up and down their backs. As we said before, we are not any better than the people of the other islands, but simply more fortunate in hav ing men such as Mr. Pogue in office, who see their duty, and know how to perform it. The peoajle of Honolulu and by this we mean, the business people, are always so fond of knocking the other islands to the tourists. Hard ly a tourist comes to Maui, but marvels at our climate, our scenery, and our progress. "Why," they say, "what is the matter,, over in Honolulu, they told us, it was roasting hot here, and there was nothing to see.and things here are not at all like we expected. You have a beauti ful island." No doubt this kind of thing keeps many away, but others come, and all who do come are loud in their praises of Maui. It is pure, unadulterated hoggishness which prompts the Honolulu business inter rests to thus misrepresent the othea islands. One tourist even laid the charge at the door of the promotion committee. Honolulu is rapidly gaining anunenviable reputation fo its ability to gouge the traveller within its gates and give very little in return, and they are in a fair way to reap the whirlwind. Now that Wailuku is to be a really and truly city, with real electric lights, the Board of Supervisors would incur the good-will of every citizen, and add lasting glory to their fame as statesmen, if they would complete the sidewalk along Main Street. The section from the Lyons property to the Enos store looks bad, very bad, and soon the citizens will be asking why the work has not been completed. The supervisors will have to answer this question, and how much easier it would be to have the sidewalk put in immediately. An international track-master at Cape Race, with plenty of help, could have the Newfoundland banks patrolled with signal vessels and fix buoy lights on southbound iceburgs during the danger season. This, with an efficient speed regulation might soon bring an end to the re cord of avoidable disaster in the graveyeard of the Atlantic .Sto-. The suggestions coming from the Star, generally hit the mark, but to anyone who has frequented the waters off the Newfoundland coast, the above is ridiculous. Let Go! (By Dr. W. . Blackwell.) HOLD fast! That splendid motto has many battles won When linked with noble puipose to earn the world's "well done," But one of equal import for all shrewd men to know Is when to quit amiave the grit to then and there "let go." Have you lost your coign of vantage, have you slipped into a rut, It's no disgrace to change your base before the wires are cut. It bespeaks the wily general to outwit a stubborn foe. Don't stand your ground when you have found 'twill pay you to let go. The Board of Supervisors have been in session this week. The cur rent months business v, rs attended to, and the reports of the different county t officers rece ived and placed on file. A resolution was passed request ing the governor to segregate the $35,000 appropriated by the legisla ture, from the next loan issue, for (he reclammalion of the swamp lands in the Lahuinu district. The appointment of Snm Keliinoi as clerk of the Wailuku Road Over seer, was not approved, on motion of Supervisor Lake. Auditor Wilcox was granted a leave of absence, to attend the re publican convention at Chicago. Mrs. W. E. Foster, was asked to remain as district nurse at the Kula Sanitarium, and in addition was appointed manager of the sanita rium, with permission to engage some one to aid her in the work. The Chairman was instructed to make an effort to secure a doctor for the sanitarium at Kula. CARD OF THANKS. Mrs. Tom Sing and family wish to ihiiuk all their friends, and members of the K. O.
