Needs Of the Information Department.
The volume of inquiries sent to this
department has been much greater
than could have been expected. and it
seems to be increasing, so much so
that it becomes necessary to beg tn
indulgence Of the comrades who are
besieging us with their auctions.
In addition to the work of answerin"
the questions that come in every day.
we are compelled to work with very
meagre equipment. We are trying to
take care of everything that is sem
here, and will do so-in time. SOM
Of the inquiries, however, require
considerable research; and the com-
rades will have to be patient if they d D
not receive their replies by immediate
return mail.
Meanwhile, we would like to say to
those who are especially interested in
the department, that we are greatly
in need of the following:
l. MONEY is needed for the pur-
chase OF reference books, pamphlets
documents and other material. No
fund is available for this purpose. Most
of the books we have so far are such as
the manager had in his personal col
lection, =or fsuch as we were able to
secure without paying for them. Quite
number of the comrades have already
made very generous contributions of
the books they have written. We have
also received large number of val
liable Government reports.
We still need funds, however, with
which to purchase books. One or two
Of the comrades, realizing that this
would naturally be the case, have al.
ready made small contributions of one
or two dollars each. Other, contri-
buttons would be appreciated.

THE GOyERNORSHIP, AND A LANE VISIT

Today's news from Washington opens the way
to settlement Of the goyernorship question in
a manner that will be satisfactory 10 the major
ity of the people of Hawaii.
Secretary Lane has come out squarcly in IA
vor of allowing Governor Frcar to hold office
until this autumn, until the governor completes
the policies he began. In the meantime, the
muddled gubernatora waters may be cleared.
They can be cleared 10y a visit to Hawaii of
Secretary Lane, or commissioners named by
him, and Hawaii should now ask such visit i'm
mediately following the adjournment Of the pres
ent extra session Of congress.
A month ago the Star-Bulletin published two
editorials on the governorship situation, COM
menting ON the present ntolerable situation,
urging the retention in office of Governor Frear
until September and pointing out the fact that
personal visit by some one from Washington,
closely in touch with the administration, might
settle the very serious difficulties that have
arisen
Secretary Lane has come to precisely the same
conclusion that this paper urged,-that Govern
or Frear should be allowed TO complete the poll
cies he has instituted, and that no action should
be taken this summer to name his successor, in
view of the rival and conflicting claims, the con-
Trajectory statements and charges, put forth by
Democratic candidates for the executive office.
This same conclusion, the Star Bulletin declares
with confidence, has commended itself to the
broad-minded, Intelligent citizens of the terri
tory, Democratic as well as Republican. They
have, for varying reasons, but feeble confidence
III the three avowed candidates for the governor
ship. There is no other man in the field to whom
they can give the cordial support necessary to al
progressive administration. There is no other
man out for the place now upon whom the people
OF Hawaii are willing to rest the perplexing re-
sponsibilities of governing Hawaii at this crisis
In island history.
There seems now very good ground for beliey-
ing that no appointment will be made this sum
mer. Secretary Lane certainly is unwilling tol
name at this time any of the candidates who have
appeared before him.
In this situation lies practical, an unassail-
able solution of the question.
The present session of congress will adjourn,
from all indications, between the endof July and
the end of August When it adjourns, there will
be an opportunity for the administration to send
from Washington man who can size up pOliti-
cal and industrial conditions here and recon-
mend to the president candidate for governor

And Secretary Lane should be the man tol

lcome. Hawaii wants a visit from Secretary
Lane not only because of the goyernorship prob
lem. nor primarily, perhaps, because of that
problem, but because this territory earnestly de-
sires the hew secretary of the interior to know
Hawaiian conditions and Hawaiian affairs of
all kinds
Secretary Garfield and Secretary Fisher came
ito Hawaii near the end of their administrations
Their knowledge of Hawaiian affairs up to that
time was secondhand, and both we're hand
capped by lack of first hand knowledge.
One day last fall while Secretary Fisher was
here, he was on his way to Kauai by steamer.
And he made this remark:
''The information that have gained during
my trip here has been invaluable. | am mighty
sorry that / could not make the trip to Hawaii
earlier in my term Of office"
Secretary Fisher went out of office with the
general recommendations resulting from his Ha-
waian trip still unmade He had no time to di-
gest the immense mass of data secured here. And
Hawaii largely lost the benefits of that trip,
aside from the action on the governorship
This territory has an opportunity to secure
an early visit from Secretary Lane We should
not let it pass
The commercial bodies may rightly feel that
they cannot go into politics, but they may with
all propriety join in extending an invitation toI
Secretary Lane for a visit here next August, orl
whenever congress adjourns Every business in
terest may with all propriety join in that invita-
ton Lane is the man with whom Hawaii has
directly to deal for four years and we want toll
know him personally, entirely apart from the
probability that such visit would satisfactorily
settle the governorship question.
1t is easy to talk of Hawaii getting togetherl
on compromise candidate for goyernor-butI
hard to accomplish
The McCandless faction will not yield nor
nor will the Watson faction nor the
McCandess factiOn,-so long as these three men
are still possibilities. And where are the COM
promise candidates? 1t must be admitted that
Republican Endorsements are not going very far
at this stage of the game If the Democrats can
not agree, it is hardly possible that Republican
action is going to help matters much.
From every point of view, the thing to do now
is to manifest approval of Secretary Lanes de-
termination, and Immediately join in q hearty
invitation to the progressive secretary of the in
terror to come to Hawaii and look us over. We
like him from distance, we know we will like
him better at shorter range, and we know his
presence here will be direct and powerful aid
in the settlement of some problems that are vital
to the progress of this territory

a ten point gain. owing to the Giants
continued good playing. the weeks
showing of the Philadelphia club in
