MOSQUITOES.
MOSQUITOES seem to be worse than ever in Wailuku, and the
people who have resided in this town for many years past, de
clare that the pests have increased and multiplied till it is im
possible to get any peace even when inside a "mosquito proof" house
and under the nets of a bed. This state of affairs should be remedied
and there is a simple way of doing it. Import some top-minnows
from Honolulu or Hilo, and set them free in all duck ponds, taro
patches and other places where water congregates.
The top-minnow is a very small fish, but it can get away with many
times its own weight in mosquito larvae. The fish devour the wrig
glers and prevent them from growing into adult mosquitoes. The plan
should be tried in Wailuku and district. The mosquito pest is awful
at present and something should be done to abate it.
If the citizens of Wailuku would get together and have a regular
clean-up day as regards empty cans, bottles and other receptacles that
hold water, a good deal could be accomplished in the way of mosquito
extermination. Coal oil also does a lot of good when thrown onto mos
quito breeding places.
ALOHA "J. N. S."
THE departure of J. N. S. Williams from Maul, for good, is much
to be regretted by those people who have been associated with him
for many years past. Mr. Williams is of the type that always
sticks out for clean living, and he has made friends of the right sort.
"J, N. S." as Mr. Williams is always referred to by those who men
tion his name, will be missed from Maui. He is looked up to by every
one and the sincere hope of his friends is that he will pay Maui a visit
from time to time in the future.
Improvements in sugar harvesting machinery, establishing of local
refineries, cutting down dowu of expenses and other innovations, will
help out when the pinch of a reduced tariff on sugar begins to be felt.
As long as it is not "free sugar," the difficulty can be met for the next
four years. Then when the Republicans come into their own again,
and the voters are satisfied that Democracy means ruin for established
industries, everything will be alright again. And there will never be
another Democratic administration. There would not be one now if
the vote had not been split to pander to the personal vanity of one man.
Free sugar means ruin for Hawaii, the same as it did for flourishing
old Jamaica. The once prosperous sugar plantations there are now all
pasture lands. 1 he one-time thriving country is now a unit raising
place. Where would Hawaii be as a fruit growing country at least
for many years to come? With no steamers to carry the pineapples
away, for the big steamship companies live off sugar, like we all do,
how would the produce be conveyed to a market.' Are there any
democrats left in Hawaii? We think that there are not many!
The new county automobile ordinance is an accomplished fact,
and it appears to be a good law. Maui has been brought into line with
Honolulu as regards the numbering on lamps. This is as it should be,
as everyone knows the impossibility or ascertaining the number ot a
machine at night time with the present system in force. The speed
regulations are good also, and the ordinance will be approved of by atf
those citizens who wish to recognize the rights of pedestrians to be
alive.
The statement made by L. A. Thurston, general manager of the Hilo
Railroad Company, in regard to the history of the. company and the
whys and wherefores of the sites for depots and other necessary lands
needed by the company, is a masterpiece, and clearly shows what Mr.
Thurston and his confreres have done for the advancement of the isl
and of Hawaii.
The narrow escape from a big fire that Wailuku had last Friday
nignt snouid open tne eyes ot those who are interested in insurance
business. The town had a very near call that is the Market street
section of it. This town needs better fire-fightine appliances and
efforts should be made to get a chemical engine.
The suggestion that a governor for Hawaii should be sent from the
mainland is not a bad one. If the Organic Act could be amended, the
change could come about. A man from the mainland, if of the proper
type, would have no local strings on him and might administer affairs
better than most people imagine.
Welcome back to the All-Hawau polo team. The men did wonders
on the California!! polo fields, and they showed that the theory that peo
pie who live in the tropics and semi-tropics lose vitality, is just about
as correct as the idea of the ancients that the world was flat.
something should be done to improve the road to Iao Valley. On
the whole the road is good enough, except for a short stretch near the
reservoir. It is strange that that particular portion of the road has
never been properly fixed.
The new Advertiser is much larger than the old paper that, for so
many years, has been known in these islands and all over the world
The change from six columns to seven improves the paper a lot aud
gives more room for news and advertising.
Some steps should be taken to keep stray horses off the streets and
vacant lots of land in and around Wailuku. There are quite a number
of animals drifting around aud they are a nuisance to everybody.
No Reason
For Suicide
"This was planned two weeks
ago" is the last message that John
Adler, who was found 'lead in bed
at Paia last week, ever penned.
The message was incomplete, how
ever, and nobody knows what the
man alluded to. It can only be sur
mised that the unfortunate young
fellow started to leave an explana
tion of his act, which the coroner's
jury called suicide, and then did
not finish the epistle. The words
were written on the front of an en
velope, and on the back was his
name, John Adler. The envelope
was found on his desk in the office
of the plantation for which he
worked.
Adler's reason for committing
suicide by shooting himself through
the heart, is unknown. He was,
seemingly in good health. As far
as is known he had no troubles of
any sort. He appeared cheerful
enough for some time past and,
only a few weeks ago, he took a
prize at the Moose masquerade ball
for his fancy dress.
The body of the young fellow
was found in his bed. A revolver
was lying by his side. A wound
showed that a bullet had been fired
through his heart. The revolver
belongs to another man who lived in
the clubhouse at Paia. The owner
of the gun was away at a dance at
Kahului on the night of the sni-
cide, and it is surmised that Adler
took the revolver from his friend's
room and then committed the rash
deed. No sound of a gun being
fired was heard by any one at the
clubhouse.
Adler had been employed for
some time at the plantation in the
capacity of timekeeper. No one
had any idea that lfe was despon
dent, and his death was a shock to
his many friends and associates.
The full facts of the case was in
vestigated by the County Attor
ney's department, and the coroner's
jury that was summoned brought
in a verdict that John Adtar met
his death through a gun shot wound
which was self inflicted.
