the convenience of i t s patrons
sufficiently to notify them of a
probable strike, then the sympathy
ot the public will go to the strikers.
As yet Kauai is in darkness as to
the cause of the trouble, and for
the sake of all concerned, we hope
matters will be adjusted with the
least possible delay.

Tim question o f paying t h
County Engineer the sum of
S600.00 per month as salary doesn't
figure out so much
$600.00 as appears a t first
Salary sight. Since July 1
1911. Mr. Mnrncriin
has been doing the engineer work
lor the Loan Fund Commission at
a salary of $75.00 p?r month, and
expenses. The exnensps nllnworl
were inadequate and to this effect
Mr. Alorague informed the Boarc
of Supervisors. It was pointed out
to the Board, that in order to
facilitate matters in connection with
Ins wide range of work, it would
be necessary to furnish the en
gineer with a car.
' '. After .due consideration, t h
Board decided that a car would
cost not less than two thousand
dollars, and that rather than buy a
car, the Board would allow the en
gineer a salary sufficient to allow
him to sunulv his own car. Mr.
Morasnie therefore, was allowed n
salary of $175.00 per month with
siuu.uu tor expenses, for his ser
vices as engineer for the Loan Fund
Commission, being a total of
$275.00 per month. He is allowed,
as County Engineer, the sum of
$225.00 is monthly salary, with
$100.00 additional exnense inonev.
bringing up a total of $325.00 per
month from the County of Kauai,
me total iroin both positions ag
gregatiug $600.00 ner month.
In so much as the $275.00 salarv
began July 1, 1912, and terminates
January l, 1913, at the end of
which time Mr. Morague will have
ueen connected with the Loan
Fund for 18 months, and that the
sum total expended on his salarv
and expenses will have been
$2,325.00, it will be seen that the
bounty engineer's Loan F u u d
work, when averaged up, has cost
the county a little less than
$130.00 per month, including both
his salary and exnenses. Further
more, it is shown by indisputable
evidence that the engineer has
saved the Loan Fund at least a
thousand dollars in drawing his
own plans and specifications for
bridges, etc., which fact is not
mentioned in defense of the ap
parent excessive salarv doled nut
to the county engineer, but merelv
to show that the Board of Super
visors has substantial grounds up
on which to base its action in
the matter. This paper, on learn
ing of the action of the Board, r.nll
ed on the chairman of the 3oard of
Supervisors wno willingly went in
to details on the subject, saying
among other things that the matter
settled as it had been, would show
that not quite four per cent of the
Loan Fund was affected by the
transaction, whereas another
county had calculated on spending
at least fifteen per cent of its Loan
Fund in the engineer's depart
ment. Thus, what at first appears
to be an extraordinary salary for
one official, after all i s known,
does not seem so elaborate.

The Strike? and not being
enabled to send,
a3 well, mail which might have
meant a great deal to them last
week, is said to have been due to
a strike among the Inter-Island
skippers a n d mates. This, of
course, we must accept as the cause
of the upsetting of business jro
ceedure, but getting behind the
screen, let us investigate and learn
if possible, "why the strike?" Is
it for an increase in salary? Better
treatment? Or, is it simply that
the worthy seamen ask for
recognition as union men and this
not havilig been granted, decided
to bring the Inter-Island to terms
by walking "off."
The ordinary individual knows
nothing of the proceedure of the
captains and mates, but he does
Know that it the strike was an im

men expect the sympathy of the

cause, they will meet with sad
disappointment. On the other

A law-suit has grown out of the
first attempt to enforce the law,
which shows with what determina
tion the law-breakers are possess
ed to evade our laws.
To a reporter. Inst Fr i d n v
County Clerk Kaneakua stated that
no one but a policeman had any
legal right c o impound estrays
tound on the public road and that
unless the police department at
tended to the matter, there was
nothing to be done about it only
by a person duly authorized by
the Board of Supervisors. If Mr
Kaneakua is correct in his enn
tention. then the policeman's dntv
lies clearly before him and its up
to him to deliver the goods. What
the public wants is an observance
ot the law. It doesn't matter a
continental whoop to the public
who carries out the law, just so
long as it is done, and at once.
The pitiful aspect of our county
attorney defending a law-breaker,
doesn't render anv transprossnr
immune from justice and all own

it becomes too late. For the ben

Tin; County says "we stand
ready to. assist in repairing the
crossing below Hotel Fairview,"
and the Plantation claims that it
"must raise its tracks," and in the
meantime t h e fool public goes
along unmindful of the public-be-damn
policy. If it is impossible
to put in a new crossing at present
why is something not done which
offers tempoiarv relief. Tin'
be done. Why is it not? Echo
answers: it is none of the pub
lic's business." In as union nc
the Board of Supervisors is em
powered to see that the plantation
plays fair with the public, it IS the
public's business. A Board nf Su
pervisors which will sit calmly by
and permit a corporation to treat
the public with as little concern n
is being done in this crossing pro
position certainly lays itself onen
to criticism. As an exnmnle of thi
right kind of public spirit, we
wouiu site the Lihue Plantation
authorities to the willingness of
Managers Ben Baldwin and Alex
ander to nut their crossinps in
shape.
In our last issue we alluded in n
u a n g of Portuguese hoodlums
which hang around the Hanamaulu
store. Further complaint has
reached this office of their attempts
to get smart, and if police protec
tion can't be had, for the sake of
the reputation of the store, at least,
the plantation should take a hand.
An investigation of a coffee shop
not more than a mile from where
the gang hangs out, might de
velop some interesting facts, too.
The members of the grand jury
for the special term are men in
whom every confidence is to be
placed. Some of them are new at
the business, but their ideas of
justice and knowledge of what
constitutes justice, together with
the assistance of experienced and
capable men, assures everyone a
square deal. They have some
knotty problems t o tackle, but
there is every reason to believe
them entirely capable of success
fully handling them.
A contemporary, in referring
to our roads, calls them "sand
papered boulevards." As sand
paper is known to be some rough,
the writer evidently has a faint re
collection of our famous railroad
crossings.
