Ohl beautiful breezes of ibe blue
PaoiGo caressing zephyrs of our
valleys carry to the four corners of
the earth that patriotic clamor as
today is tho fourteenth of July
the national day of France
Tho fourteanth of Juljl That
date mirks a great step in tho
onward maroh of humanity and it
carries us baok tody to an opooh
illustrated with the most beautiful
legends built on patriotism and
heroism sacred by tho most pro
found thinkors and most intelligent
writers as the birthday of the
omsneipstioa of tb3 human race
Before July 14 1789 the king
used to say I am the State and
those that dared question his au
thority or doubt the divine right
of kings were thrown into the
Bistile without any other form of
process
On the 14th day of July of that
never to be forgotten year the
much abused muoh persecuted and
down trodden paoplo of France
recovered from their too long
lethargy and rising as oie man
captured and demolished the fam
us Birtih
Then the people said We are
the State And the throne of
poor Louis XVI began to tremble
ou its foundations
That was the beginning of the
end What followed in tliosa
eventful years doas not need to be
repeated here Every student is
famjjiar with the great historical
romance of 1789 1793 The guillo
tine was kept busy and for months
heads suooooded heads in the hands
ot the furious mob
Tho theories of Voltaire Diderot
and Rousseau had been plantod in
a good soil and if they woro tho
oauses of tnuah excesses they cer
tainly brought about some good
results
Wo hoar Btorios those days
says Bourko Cookran that Francn
is declining that her population is
decreasing But who that roads
tho history of France can balieve
these reports It every city in
Franco should be razed to the
ground if ovory ship in her navy
should be sunk to the bottom of
tho sea if you should undertake
to blot Franoe from tho map you
would still find that it would be
as easy to blot tho stars from the
firmament as to uproot the place
of Franoe in this modern civiliza
tion
The love of justice has long been
a paision of the French Feu
dalism flourished when France be
lieved that the most substantial
justice was to bo rendered through
this Bystom tho Kingship lasted
so long as she believed the greatest
justice could be had through its
instrumentality and this system
fell when it ceased to bo loyal to
tho truest justice
Today the Republic of France
lives prosperously and vigorously
otill sending forth throughout the
world the products of the brains
of her sons French art French
literature French architecture
Frenoh paintings the Frenoh
navy ayo even the French army
everything oooupios such a place in
the civilized world that the world
bows in wonder before the genius
and the vitality of France
May the Fronch Republic in
peace with the world continue on
hor march towards progress and
prosperity is tho most cherished
wish of her sons the wido world
over
Vive la Francel Vivo la Repub

THE BOARD OF HEALTH ATJIO
OBATB
The demand of tho President of
the Board of Health that physicians
desiring to practice medicine in tho
Territory must bo proficient in the
English language is on par with
most of the antics of that body
The new rule is directed perhaps
against the Japanese physicians who
wish to practice here but the rulo is
sufficiently broad to bar also modi
cal men of tho very highest standing
in European countries who perhaps
are not proficient in the English
language from settling hero and
work in their profession The
president of the Board of Health
who moro and more is showing bis
arrogance is fwidenlly annoyed at
the suooess of Japanoce practitioner
hero although we cannot believe
that they for obvious reasons
could have out greatly into the
private practice of the would bo
autocrat of the Board of Health
If the rulo of Dr Sloggatt is
enforced it will moan hat tho very
best physicians of the European
oontinont would be birred from
practicing iu this one horse terri
tory becauso forsooth their Eoglisb
or lack of English was not approved
of by tho great medicine man who
lords it ovjr the Board of Health
Most of the Japanese or Portuguese
or Chinese sick are unable to ex
plain their complaints in the Eng
lish language and they naturally
call ou puyeiciadfl who are able to
iiiMMnrmintnnr
grasp tho nature of tho illness from
which tho patient is suffering If a
man cannot speak English as she is
spoko iu tho Board of Hoaltb ho
has no right or business to bB ill
and seek a dootor who can under
stand him Wo cemmoud this
piece of patent idiooy of the Board
of Health to tho special attontion of
the next legislature Wo havo yot
to learn that a man to be an effi
cient physician must bo ablo to
speak Engliih especially when
practicing among people of whom
only a minority speakn and under
stands the English language Tt is
high time that tho Board of Health
receives a thorough overhauling
and wo have no doubt that the
Legislature will perform the opera
tion necessary to clip tho wings of
the autocratic combination selected
by Governor Dole to handle tho
sanitary conditions of the Territory
Tho othor step adopted by the
Sloggetta Board whioh will rooeive
attention by tho Legislature is tho
exclusion of representatives of
some newspapers from the annual
visit of the Board of Health to the
L9por Settlement The press is the
only safe guard the unfortunate in
mates of tho Leper Settlement have
and to endeavor to muzzle the
principal friend of the unfortunates
is an undertaking that wo hardly
expected the members of the Board
of Health would venture on Mr
Sloggett seems to have reason to
fear the searohlight of tho press
when it is turned on the condition
of the lepers at Molokai He does
not realize that it is far wiser to
give disinterested newspaper men
an opportunity to personally inver
tigate conditions at the Settlement
listen to the complaints of the
lepers and see for themselves
whether there appears to be cause
for such complaints than to compel
the lepers to air their grievances in
the public press in exaggerated
terms perhaps and thereby keeping
the leper question constantly before
the world iustead of in tho back
ground
There are some 1000 inmates at
the sotllement and we think it just
that their condition complaints
and wants should be known to tho
world at largo and not meroly
pigeon holed by a Board of Health
whioh is or should be simply tho
servaut of the people We havu
often advocated that the Board of
Health be transformed into a bureao
under the Public Works Depart
ment It is safe to predial that if
such a change was made and the
windy doctors of tho Board of
Health relegated to privacy the
public would hear pf few oom plain Is
from our unfortunate fellow citi
zens at the living tomb on Molokai
The inBult offered to tho press by
Dr Sloggett and his colleagues will
not be forgotten and Governor
Dole who is responsible for the
personal and therebya the actions
of the Board will b9 remembered
by the votors who immaterial of
party feeling will tolerate uo en
croachment on tho tight of tho
wards of tho people to be heard by
independent and unbiased men who
through the press are in touch
with yos represent the people
