OUR WAIi NliWS SliKVICH.
I IF. MAUI NEWS is glad to le able lo announre that it lias made
arrangements by which Maui people will be kept in closest touch
willi the momentous events now convulsing practically all Chrislen-
dcin, outside of the United Stales. At considerable expense, and much ad
ditional labor, the NFAVS is now receiving daily an afternoon wireless
report as well as its usual morning wireless service, and is communicating this
news by telephone to various communities on this island. Bulletins will be
posted at these various points so that a large majority of residents may get
the news as soon as received. In being able to thus serve the public, the
MAUI NFAVS is under obligations to the Pioneer Mill Company, the
i'uimime Store, the I lawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company, the Wai
liAu Sugar Company, the Kneleku Sugar Company, the Wailuku Hank, the
Maui I Itel, the Maui Wine I Jquor Company, and to a number of in
dividuals. 1 he new servic e will be maintained as long as conditions seem
lo warrant it.
I'ALMBK WOODS' CANDIDACY.
TTSTlII', announcement this week tliat rainier Woods lias entered tin.'
race with Link Mc'Jandlcss for the democratic noini nation for the
ilelenakship, tuKitlicr with the further statement that McCand-
lcv; lias decline d to withdraw in favor of the Kohala leader, can
not but be considered c,oik1 news to the Republicans, anil particularly
to the friends of Charlie Mice. Woods' candidacy tfives the democrats
something to think about besides interfering in the Republican contest,
It is pal t icularh e,ool news here on Maui, where the local democratic
leaders had their plans all laid lo throw their whole weight in the pri
maries to Kuhio, solely with the view of preventing Rice from bcine,
elected at the primaries, and divine: McCandlcss a chance in the
November elections. Woods will cause a 1k defection in the McCand
less ranks, and if Link is to secure the nomination, it will mean that
every vote he can command must be used in the primaries. There will
hj none to waste in splitting tile Republicans.
ANONYMOUS CONTIiHJUTIONS.
T should not be necessary to repeat so often that the M.M'I Ni:ws
cannot print unsigned communications. We do' not print the
names of contributors, if requested not to, but for our own protec
tion we must know the source of everything that appears in our col
ums. This will explain why an interesting; U tter from l'aia got into
our waste basket, this week, instead of into type, as the writer
intended.
m
Tin-: toe is a little doubt that Hawaii as a whole must profit in a
material way from the great Kuropean .war now in progress. Jumps of
from S.S to 51.5 per ton, such as lias been experienced during the past
few days, with every indication that it will be a long time before low
prices for the commodity again picvail, mean millions for the local
industn , eve n on the present year's crop not yet sold. On the other
hand, with prices of all commodities sky-rocketing, the man on salary
is likely t,, fmd his cost of living rapidly outstripping his income. The
United States, as a whole, is already beinning to feel the pinch of war
pricesr
Tiu-'.ioc is much significance in the fact that even a farewell dinner in
Maui these days almost invariably resolves itself into a booster gather
ing for llaleakala, or some other net (led Maui improvement.
Changes
in Precinct
Boundaries
1 2 lit Precinct Cannot Be Divided
Before Primary, According to
Attorney General Would Renum
ber All Precincts.
From a conimuniciition which
has been received from Secretary
Thayer, suppoited by an opinion
fmni'thc Attorney C.encial, there
can be no change of the boundaries
of the 12th voting precinct, prior
to the piiiuary, September 12th. It
is held liy the Attorney General
that the pi unary election is an elec
tion und er which the law provides
that no change of precincts shall
be made within 6 days preceediug
an election.
Just where the petition, which
was circulated last May, to have
the 12 precinct divided, has been
all this time does not appear, but
it is treated by the Secretary as
though it were a new matter. On
the theory that it had been lost, a
new petition was circulated last
week, and forwarded a few days
since.
It is possible that the change
may be made in time for the gene
ral election in November, unless as
Mr. Thayer suggests, it is feared
that the advertising of the new
boundaries w ill cause confusion lo
the voters at the primary, which
will be held a few days after the
proposed changes must be posted.
Those in a position to judge, do
not believe that, there will be much
danger of this in our coinuiunilv.
Members of the board of super
visors have also suggested that at
the same time all the precincts of
the county be re-nuinbered, in
order to get them in better se
quence, geographically, than they
are at present.
In case the 12th precinct is
divided, its boundaries will probab
ly be Maliko gulch, new Ilainakua
ditch, Kakipi gulch, and the sea;
and the polling place will be the
l'auwela school house.
Lanai Road Difficulty
. L. lieeoto, road overseer of
the Labaina district, reported to the
supervisors this week that it will he
necessary to acquire title tosoine nix
or seven kuleanas before the auth
orized road on Lanai, between Ka
halcpalaoa and ICaopuiki can be
constructed. This will probably pre
vent the building of the load, which
was authorized at a recent meeting
of the board,' on petition from the
residents of the district.
