From that time on until October 2,

an acknowledgment of service of sum-

Judgment signed by William Fl. Wright
and Healtnie K. Wright, each in a diff
ferent handwriting, and apparently
each in the handwriting Of the indivfd-
ual whose name is signed. The paper
is dated August 10. 1907, but no place
where it was dated is given. There is
nothing on the document or in it to
indicate where it came from, unless an
investigation of the paper used and

Chairman Hustace of the Supervisors
called on Sheriff Iaukea yesterday and
said he wanted the automobile ordi-
nance enforced in regard to speeding
and minors driving. The Sheriff stat
ed that notices and warnings had al
ready been sent out to those concern
ed, but where no one would swear to
a complaint a report of furious dr1v-
ing or other violation of the ordinance
was of little use. What violations the
police themselves observe they can

OWNERS Of LANAI
TAKE Up FIGHT
Will Send H. E. Cooper as
Special Attorney for Them
to Washington.

H. E. Cooper viii go to Washington
to appear before the United States
Supreme Court in support of the Lanai
| deal, in behalf of the owners and
others interested in that island.
Such is the announcement positively
made yesterday by one in a position to
know Not only is Mr.. Cooper to go.
but it is said that an effort will be
made to have the case advanced on
the calendar so as to get as early a
decision of the matter as possible.
When Attorney General Hemenway
was asked about this announcement
ne said that he did not know that
the sending of Mr.. Cooper had actual
ly been determined on: 1t had been
proposed to him that those interested
in Lanai should send someone and he
had replied that If they selected some
one agreeable to the department, the
department would be very glad to
have him go as the representative of
the Attorney General and to give him
all possible aid in the matter of as
sistance, briefs and other help, the
Territory being a party of record in
the case. He had not, however, heard
that it had been finally determined on
to send anyone.
The Lanai case is near the foot OF
the calendar of the United States SUI
prenie Court, and is the last of the
cases on the calendar in which the
Territory is interested, although the
Cotton Bros. case will probably be be-
low the Lanai case.
1t seems evident, from the fact that
the interests which own Lanai are
to send special counsel to
them in the Supreme Court
of the United States. that they con-
slider the case an important one.
T. L. McCandless, who is making the
fight against the validity and legality
Of the exchange by which the gov
ernment parted with its large holdings
of land on that island, may either
send a lawyer from here to appear be-
fore the Supreme Court, or may en-
ploy eminent legal counsel in Wash
ngton.

ECONOMY IN ADMINISTRATION.

With the growth of the state and the extern
sion Of governmental activities there is a normal
increase in necessary expenditures which must
be met by appropriations. The principles gov
serning the making Of appropriations admit of no
dispute, however difficult may be their applica-
ton IN particular cases. No department should
be crippled by lack Of funds properly to enforce
the law. There is urgent need of economy in
administration, but there is demand and
justification for economy at the expense of Just
administration.
On the other hand, not only should there be no
palpabe waste of public moneys, but there
should be such rigid scrutiny Of demands upon
the treasury that every dollar expended should
have ample justification. Unnecessary outlays
should be cut of without fear favor and there
should be no weakness in refusing demands upon
the treasury made either in behalf Of selfish in
terest or Of misguided sentiment. To this diff
cult task Of providing means for adequate
exercise Of the functions of government, with
due Limitation OF expenditures to actual necessi-
tles, nave no doubt that you will address
yourselves with a just sense of its importance
and IN impartial spirit

AGRICULTURE.

Attention 70 the industrial and commercial in
terests OF the state should not lead us to over
look the great Importance of its agricultural in
terests. Every reasonable effort should be made
70 encourage agriculture and to promote the eX-
tension of scientific and gainfUl methods. The
state fair is object lesson of much value and
has achieved most gratifying success. Among
the receipts Of the last fiscal year was $2S351S6
the surplus realized from the fair OF 1905. The
Just needs of this important educational institu-
tlon, for such IL is, should he recognized and its
efficiency should he enhanced by whatever means
may be found best adapted to that purpose
The problem of agricultural labor is serious
one. one source of partial relief is indicated by
the fact that during the last year about three
thousand immigrants coming into the port Of
New York have been turned toward and placed
upon the farms of this state as iaborers. But
this relief Is very slight and the scarcity of farm
help remains a cause Of great embarrassment
1t is also gratifying TO note that the bulletins
issued by the Agricultural Department have ia
cilitated the sale of abandoned farms. The i'm
portant work of this department. which Is
charged with extensive duties, should be fully

FOREST PRESERVES AND WATER
POWER

There has been general recognition in recent
years OF the vast Importance to the state of the
preservation of its forests To prevent the irrep-
arabic loss which would be ocCasoned by their
devastation and conversion to private uses the
state has pursued the policy of acquiring forest
tracts This policy should be continued, and as
rapidly as possible and far as may be neces-
sary to accomplish it's purpose the state should
extend its holdings. All propositions which may
involve any diversion of these lands from the
purpose of their acquisition should be most care
fully scrutinized
In this connection It is we'll 10 consider the
great value of the undeveloped water powers
thus placed under state control. They should be
preserved and held for the benefit of all the
people and should not be surrendered TO private
interests. 1t would be difficult 10 eXaggerate the
advantages which may ultimately accrue from
these great resources of power II the common
right Is dulV safeguarded.
New-York tribune., 1907-01-03
LABOR

The Labor Department should be put on a
better footing. Prior TO 1901 the Bureaus or De-
partments OF Labor Statistics. Factory Inspec-
ton and Mediation and Arbitration were Sepa-
rately organized. In that year they were consol-
idated into the present Department of Labor, but
this was accomplished without a suitable revis-
ion of the law and some confusion has resulted
Not only should the law be carefully revised. but
provision should promptly be made TO increase
the efficiency of the department by thoroughly
equipping il for it's work. 1t serves useful
purpose TO increase the duties of a department
without supplying the means by which they may
be discharged And il is of vital importance to
the interests of the wage earners throughout the
state that the provisions of the Labor law should
be strictly enforced.
There is urgent need for more inspectors. II is
utterly impossible for the present force to meet
the requiments Of the law, and whatever in
crease is necessary 10 secure the enforcement of
the important provisions OF the statutes regulat
ing the conditions Of labor should be supplied
without delay. To attain proper efficiency the
work should be specialized and positions and
salaries should be graded.
/ recommend TO your careful consideration the
important subject Of child labor. Laws for the
protection OF children, in securing to them their
right to an elementary education and in sur
make a special appeal to humane sentiment, and
nothing should be left undone to give them full
effect.
Children under sixteen should have an eight
hour day. Such provision VIII not only furnish
protection from excessive strain, but will also
aid the administrative officers in their enforce
ment OF the law.
also recommend that in order to protect chill
dren against dangerous employments there
should be more precise prohibition specifying
the occupations in which children under sixteen
shall not be employed General prohibitions as
10 such matters are apt 10 be found imperative.
II is fair TO all concerned and essential TO the
protection Of children that the law be made
specific possible.

PURE FOOD.

The legislation with reference 10 aduteratiops
and impurities In food Is partly found in the
Public Health law and partly in the ASriCul-
tural law 1t IS desirable that the laws should
be codihed and presented in a single COmprehen-
sive statute suitably defining the duties of the
department which may be charged with its ex-
ecution. Every possible means should be pro-
vided TO safeguard the people against impost-
tion through sIIilfu authorizations ana To pre-
