Children donl "hare to. hare"

the fond parent who arguea "better to
get it when young" Is exploded by Dr.
L l. Pattrson oT the board of health,
who. In an lnterrlew with the Star
Bulletin, takea to task those citizen
of Honolulu who let whooping cough
caaea run at large.
"It is iorpriaing what a large num
ber of children are being allowed to
run at large in the city with this dis
ease." aaya Dr. Patterson, "but prac
tically .erery day some one roices a
complaint against thia practise.
"I am sure parenta do not realize
the seriousness of whooping cough
nnd its after effect It is a form of
torcmchltla to start with, and affects
the lunga. After the disease ia over
the lungs are ready prey for pneu
monia and tuberculosis. The deaths
from whooping cough, with its compli
cations, are more than from all other
diseases of childhood combined."
- Dr. Patterson aaya that ererybody ii

The letter to the contractors held

LETTERS
POLICE BRUTALITY
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: Having knowledge of your fair
and impartial attitude, I would ask
you to print the' following letter In re
gards to police brutality. From the
time -that President McKinley called
for volunteers In our war with Spain
until 1905, the writer wore a soldier's
uniform and was proud of the honor;
yes, not only wore- it but fought for
it, not with a pen at a cozy desk, but
with a rifle In the Jungles; not alone
the writer but other men in the police
department - who will sign this letter.
I served a few years in Honolulu, and
never was "beat up" by the police or
saw or heard of any brutality, but I
have seen and heard of it in other
towns where I have served. There are
some bad soldids and sailors who
would be bad civilians were they in
civil life, who would never, get their
names in the papers were they in their
home town with a dear papa and a
large bank roll We are all human, we
were all civilians before we were sol
diers and a 'good civilian is a good
soldier, and vice verso a good soldier
is a good civilian. I am happy to be
able to say that the soldiers and sail
ors stationed here are well conducted.
I, for one, when making an arrest, had
to ' call for assistance, and a soldier
was the first man to come to help me.
Why, then, should a police officer
brutally assault a man in uniform?
We are both upholders of the law. At
times it is necessary to use force to
make an arrest some men may use
better judgment than others, but, why
should the whole police department be
blamed for one man's mistake, if one
should be made? hould the thousands
of soldiers be blamed, for the action of
one or two? ,' Most assuredly, no; then
why- not treatthe. police. .the same?
As to the article in this morning's pa
per as to, a soldier beaten in. Auwalo
limu district, thly. can neither give
name or date. There is a record kept
by the provost guard at police station
as to every soldier arrested, and, I can
find no reference to arrest or brutal
assault The whole thing ia a coward
ly attack for political purposes. . Can
any fair minded man or woman think
that ten or twelve ex-soldlera and
sailors now on the police force would
stand for it? Not in a thousand years.
We wore the uniform and fought for it
and are ready right now when called.
Thanking you in advance, I remain.
Yours respectfully,
M. C. SWIFT, ex-army.
(Signed) M." H. Sanders, ex-navy;

are now on the police force would b
glad to sign this letter, but are off duty
at this time.
