COUNTY is
NOT COUNTY
PROVISIONS IN ACTS PASSED BY
LAST LEGISLATURE DO NOT APP
PLY TO KALAWAO.

An opinion to the effect that the
County OF Kaawao is not affected by
the act of the last Legislature which
transfer red the maintenance of the
public schools from the Territory to
the counties, has been sent to Presi-
dent Mott-Smith, of the Board OF
Health. The Attorney General holds
that the Department of Public Instruc-
ton should look after this work and
that the money needed should come
from the appropriation for the ex
penses of the department. AS there is
hardly enough money for the ordinary
expenses in this appropriation it leaves
the department in a bad position.
In the same way Attorney General
Hemenway holds that the fines and
costs received from cases in the dis
trict court in Kalawao are Territorial
realizations and are not affected by
the act passed by the last Legislature
which provides, in the case of the 9th
err subdivisions, that they shall be
county realizations. In both matters
the Attorney General gives his opinion
under the act which provided for the
organization OF the County of Kalawao,
which provides that except where spe-
officially mentioned the general laws
referring to counties snail not have
force.

TO ABATE AN
OIL NUISANCE

Yesterday afternoon Superintendent
OF Public Works Marston Campbell and
Harbormaster Clark spent some little
time on the Eva end of the harbor
looking into the oil nuisance which
has become rather a sore spot with the
masters of the vessels which come in
here. The trouble was located in the
pipelines which run across the railroad
slips and it is believed that both the
pipes of the Associated and Union Oil
companies are leaking and thus adding
to the messy fluid that floats on the
water and makes the white painted
ships. look like Gal barges. Steps Will
be taken Immediately to remedy the
condition.

TARIFF WILL
AID CHURCHES

The Rev Dr. William Henry Roberts,
Stated CLERK OF the General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Church, predicts a
new era Of prosperity for the churches.
~ am glad as an American citizen that
the tariff question has been temporarily
settled" said Doctor Roberts. ut IS the
one economic matter which above all
others is related TO the prosperity OF the
country. ] believe that the new tariff
will promote that prosperity, and. Of
course, # win promote the prosperity
Of the churches as well as Of other in
terestr.
THE American churches differ from
churches in European countries in that
their support comes from the voluntary
offerings Of the members. Many Euro
pean churches are supported by taxes
levied by the State and taxes must be
paid.
But in this country the financial con-
diton OF the churches is absolutely de-
pendent upon the prosperity Of the poo-
pie and il is matter of sincere con-
graduation for Presbyterians that de-
spite the panic OF 1907 and lsoS. the CON
tributions OF Presby yterian congregations
throughout the country fell Off during

This rubbing with sweet oil, by the

citation Of two farmers who had long
been enemies. When the party at last
