THIS is r WHILE.

The article in this mornings Her
aid, signed by Superintendent Hall
mark. should be carefully read by
every friend of the public schools
both in the town and country.
Professor Hallmark calls attention
10 a late provision of the school
law looking especially to the needs
eof the country districts, which is
clearly stated In his communication.
1t will be seen that an outcome of
the election to be held next Satur-
day will be the selection of a board
of trustees for the county composed
OF five persons. Among other i'm
portant duties in the line of educa-
tional work this board will act with
the county superintendent in ''the
classification Of the county schools
and In the adoption of a uniform
course of study for all the schools
under his supervision The pro-
lessor does not in the least exag-
gerate the Importance of their work.
1t would be easier to understate its
importance than to overstate it. This
1~erefore is a matter which should
attract and hold the attention of all
the friends of the schools until after
see that proper men are chosen for
this most important work.

ELECTION OF COUNTY
BOARD OF EDUCATION.
To The Herald:

! To The Herald:
Next Saturday the qualified voters
will be called upon to elect fly
county trustees in addition to elect
ing the three trustees Of their own
common school districts. Each COM
missi0ner's precinct is entitled to
one trustee and the fifth one is from
the county at large. This is the
first election under the law which
was enacted last year.
This board has charge Of the es-
adjustment, organization, and gen.
eral management of the high schools
in and for the common school dis
tricts and, where they have no high
schools, for the common schools they
make arrangement for the high
school students of said schools to
attend the city schools Of the coun-
ity. This board also cooperates with
the county superintendent in the
classification of the county schools
and in the adoption of a uniform
course Of study for all the schools
under his supervision.
The members of the present board
whom | have met are alive to the
needs of the county schools and no
doubt the other members are faith
full officials and deserve reelection.
If we endorse the present board, we
should show our appreciation Of it's
members by voting for them. If we
want a new board, this is the OPP
portunity to elect it.
This is a hard county for a county
superintendent to properly super
wise, but, with the assistance Of a
good live county board Of education,
he can accomplish much more than
if working alone.
The voters have it in their power
tc give the county superintendent
this needed assistance. Much has
been done for the rural schools of
this county during the past three or
four years, but this is only the
foundation for the stage CT efficiency
which they should and will attain
during the next two years.
Any progress in the county schools
strengthens u city schools and cur
onward progress lifts the common
schools to a higher state of useful
ness.
Every voter who loves good gov
eminent should not only vote Sat-
urday but he should taken an active
interest in selecting men who back
up the county superintendent in
raising the standard of our school.
Very respectfully,
c. G. HALLMARK,
Supt. City Schools.

The Dog Record.

The conversation went around to
dogs.
well, Bumps, here is a dog story
that can't be beat. My friend, John
son, had a most intelligent retriever.
Done night Johnson's house caught
afre. All was instant confusion.
Old Johnson and his wife flew for
the children and bundled out with

them had been left behind. But up
jumped the dog, rushed into the
house and soon r%eappeared with
the missing child.
Everyone was saved; but Rover

Now that the city has invested in
a third thousand feet of fire hose,
let us hope that it may be taken care
of properly and not used for any
other purpose than that for which
it has been purchased. The practice
OF using the fire hose for street work
or laying Of mains is one Of ques-
tionable wisdom, and the Herald be-
lieves it should not be done. The
ordinance prohibiting any vehicle
from Diving across the fire hose
whenever the hose is lying across
any street or sidewalk should also
he enforced strictly and the penalty
for such an act eXacted to the max
imum for every offense.

AS 10 THE GoVERNoRsHIP

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:I Beg to say that I do not
quite understand what has become OF
the Frear-Kuhio controversy. for. so
far, can see no particular line OF
argument that has any bearing upon
IL. h. .-......:
had thought. like many others,
that the first thing to be done was to
prove by incontestable evidence that
Governor Frear has been remiss in
his official capacity, or has Willingly
or unwittingIy favored the richer and
larger interests of this Territory.
But 30 far. not a scrap Of evidence
and not even a hint of wrongdoing
has been brought forward or even
mentioned. = : SO. -... -"
So far, not Governor Frear. but the
land and homestead laws have been
on trial, the administration of which
has been shown to have been all that
could be desired. -.. p.
Now, the reappointment OF Govern.
or Frear is nothing to me, but truth
and justice are. and maintain that
he should be accorded the same favor
as others and be considered innocent
until 1t has been proved that he Is
guilty. ~. ......ss
Again, the assuming that none OF
the rich men of these Islands that
are connected with the large inter
ests, by family ties or other ways,
are fit to be governor. of this Terri
tory, is, to say the least. anything
but flattering. 1t is also anything but
true.
Why, I can name offhand a dozen
men who are entirely trustworthy,
among whom are Judge Dole, w. R.
Castle. s. NJ Damon, d, Scudder, and
last, but not least, Governor Frear,
chief of whom, however, II is admit
ted, is Judge Dole. and who, we be.
lieye. neither the large interests nor
any body of men can influence in the
slightest degree. x. Y. q.

THE CAMPAIGN And BUSINESS

That big Business" on the mainland is not
at all disturbed by the campaign and approach
ing election is the unusual condition noted by
the STAR BULLETINS Washington correspondent,
who says that two reasons for this are given
first Big Business sees nothing unfriendiy in the
attitude of either Roosevelt or Wilson, and there
fore does not fear possible change; and second,
II. this is year of big crops, and campaign
NERVOUSNESS is thereby overcome.
It is probable also that there is another rea-
SON, namely, that Big business is getting used
I to political wallops and has ceased to regard
them with as much seriousness as few years
back
Prior to the time when Roosevelt opened fire
on trusts and monopolies in a presidential mes
sage that stirred the country from one end to the
other, Big business had enjoyed an era of peace
Comparatively little attention had been paid to
trust operations by the national administration

THE FAIRNESS CT THE HEARINGS

The STAR-BULIETIN is glad to hear from the
Rev. Stephen l.. Desha that he made no such
statemepts on the Fisher investigation as credit
ed to him yesterday morning. No however
pfejudiced, could have made such statements il
he had followed the Investigations at all closely.
Secretary Fisher has evidently not been
sNayed by the presence of ladies OF the govern
ors family in the senate chamber, for the secre-
tary has repeatedly questioned witnesses upon
the specific point as to. whether not an execu.
tive here would be influenced by such family
eDnnections and social ties.
AS to the statement that Fisher distorted
truth in telling George r. Carter lie was un-
aware of any lack of support for Frear by the
National administration, it is quite easily dis
proven by a glance at the stenographic report Of
what actually was said. Fisher was careful to
make very plain that he would discuss only what
has happened during his own incunbency of Of
Ice and he explicitly stated that he would as
snIne what tiov. Carter said of the past to be
rue, although because Of lack of personal knowl-
edge he could not discuss it
Those who have been following the hearings
closely have been gratified at the very temperate
manner in which they have been carried on; at
tie spirit of fairness shown on both sides; the
|1ck Of personal rancor or petty spite; and the
<rAR BULLETIN hopes this spirit will continue.
The Delegates attorney has made no charges OF
,Dfairness in the hearing, nor has Kuhio. The
Best procedure for either party to the eontro-
|ersy is to keep: coDl head and stick to facts

CONKLING BACK
ON THE COAST

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9.-Having
negotiated the sale of 81 100000 OF
bonds for public Improvements in Ha-
waii, d. L. Conkling treasurer Of the
territorial government returned yes
terday from the east and took apart
ments at the Stewart. The bonds are
20 years tours and were sold above
par.
"The ease with which the bonds
were sold,r Conkling said yesterday,
shows the satisfaction of the bankers
as to the credit and business condi-
lions of the. islands even on the eve
of a presidential election. Hawaii Is
making preparations to- meet the In
creased trade with the world when 1t
lis brought nearer European ports
through the Panama canal. The money
raised by these bonds will go for pub
lie improvements.
Conkling said that the antipathy of
Prince KalanianaOle to Governor
Frear and his administration was
merely personal, and that with man
of the caliber of Walter L Fisher, sec
rotary OF the INTERIOR Investigating
the charges, the governor had nothing
to fear, as the accusations made
against him were groundless
Conkling says that women's suffrage
will be an issue in November in the
islands and tnat strong campaign
is being made my the suffragists for
recognition. He believes President
Taft has retained his hold on the is
land vote and viii be the choice of the

According TO the verdict handed
down by this jury. they were of the
opinion that freight train No. Is,

way to work at one of the pineapple
canneries when he was struck by the
train then proceeding in the direc.
