FROM THE MANGER
TO THE CROSS
Is the Title of the Pictures to be Pre-
sented April Is and Is for the
Benefit of Library.

From the Manger to the Cross, which
is TO be presented at the Princess thea
ter April Is and Is for the benefit OF
the public library, is without doubt the
most expensive and carefully planned
film in the world. ss
1t is a spectacular production of the
life of Christ from the maneer al
Bethlehem to His cruciffxion on the
cross at Mt. Calvary.
This picture must not be confused
with The Passion Play. as II is an en-
tirely different production.
These wonderful pictures were taken
in Palestine and Egypt by the Kalem
company, in the exact locations that
these august events occurred.
From an educational standpoint this
feature is unexceiled as aside from
protraying the most beautiful story
known to mankind, and bringing the
subject close to the hearts of those who
witness it, the Holy Land and Egypt
arc brought before yonr eyes, showIng
the people, customs and dress and Wis
ualiZing many things that had
seemed unreal.
In producing the story the kalcm
company followed such aut horitr in de-
tail as Hoffman in rrcSentin" the tea-
lures of Christ. Tissot in detail OF dress
and Herr Sehick in architectural mat
tiers.
The picture. which is over 5000 feet
of film, is divided into parts, and each
part in sections, which proves q dc
cidedlv effective way Of brea king the
tense situations that develop.

ACT FOR THE PUBLIC

If the house realizes exactly the capacity in
which it is considering the acceptance of Alma
hau, there can be but one action for it to take,
and that action is to receive the splendid gift of
the late ex-Gov Cleghorn and secure for the peo-
pie magnificent park
The house represents, or should represent, the
people, the public. 1t is bounden to carry out
the demands of the public. 1t is not within the
province of the house to represent private bene-
ficiaries. The demands of the public are over
whelmingly that the park should be accepted
Some objection is made to the acceptance of
the gift on the ground that it would entail a
very large sum for improvement. That need not
be an objection The improvement of the park
may be somewhat postponed and provision now
made only for adequate. maintenance. As ono

MAY he RECONsIDERi

Senator Judd's services to the public in his
capacity as a member of the upper house have
been and are such that very general regret will
be felt at his determination not to stand for an
other election.
The Star Bulletin doesn't believe in waiting
until man is dead before speaking good of him,
and though the senator's actual retirement from
public life is still some distance off, it is emf
nently proper to draw attention to his work.
The judiciary committee, Of which he is chair
man, is the hardest-worked committee of the
present senate session, and Judd is declared by
his colleagues to be the hardest working mem
ber Mr. Judd not only handles his committee
work in admirable and effective fashion, but he
is student of legislation and of the needs of the
people. His two local improvement bills are
quite likely to class in the future as the most
farsighted, constructive laws of the 1913 SEES
sion. He is unsparing of physical or mental
labor in the discharge of his duties, and the very
fact that he finds it necessary to leave public
office in order to carry out his duty to his fam
lily and his profession, is evidence of the zeal
with which he has thrown himself into senatorial
tasks.

WILSON GOES SLOWLY

Recent developments in tie geyernorship sit
uation make it plain that President Wilson does
not intend to show haste in appointing a new
executive for Hawaii, a policy that will be wide
~ applauded here.
The departure of E. M. Watson for Washing
ton last evening means that he has strong as
surances of favorable consideration by the pres
ident If Watson's physical condition permits
him to make the trip without recurrence of i'll
ness, he has a very good chance of landing the
coveted post.
That he has gone to Washington at the in
stance of personal friends and prominent bust
nessmen,-an open secrets pretty fair evi-
dence that the opposition to McCandless here is
active and alert. McCandless, with the strong
Endorsements of his party organizations and
considerable following outside the party, has
presented such good claims to Wilson that Will
SON has been reported as leaning toward him.
These reports have stirred up the McCandless
opposition amazingly.
Meanwhile, there are plenty of Republicans
and Democrats casting around for dark horses
that may be sadd1ed bridled and led forth to the
showing.

intelligent citizen points out the time is coming
in Honolulu, as il has come in the history of
every other progressing city, when much of the
money now spent in building new roads and
streets will no longer be needed, for the roads
and streets will have been completed. Then
there will be hundreds of thousands for park de-
yelopment Kills. .~.r.
But that is no reason why Honolulu should
reject this gift now and at some future date pay
a hundred or two hundred thousand for park
space that is now available for practically moth

DIRECT ELECTION OF SENATOR'S

Two amendments to the United States con-
stitution within a few weeks may well be re-
garded as a remarkable evidence of the changing
times. 1t used to be said that federal constitu-
tionaI amendments were harder to secure than
a modification of the laws of the Modes and Per-
slams, but it is so no longer. A short time ago
the federal income tax amendment was adopted
and on Tuesday came the news that the constitu-
tional amendment providing for direct election
of United States senators had received the req
uisite threefOurths vote in the fortyeight states
of the union.
Agitation for direct election of United States
senators was begun twenty years ago, the house
in 1892 adopting the text of an amendment pro-
posed by Representative Tucker For many ses-
sions the plan could never get senatorial APP
prevail, largely because the stand-patters in the
upper house were afraid to trust their destinies
to the people. They relied upon being able to
swing state legislatures. In fact, it was largely
the notorious corruption of legislatures by the
bribing henchmen of senatorial candidates that
FASTENED the ratification of the amendment after
it had passed congress two years ago and was
submitted to the several states.
The amendment as it finally passed the senate
reads as follows:
That in lieu of the first paragraph of section of
article of the constitution of the United States and
In lieu of much of paragraph of the same sec
ton relates to the filling of vacancies the follow
ing be proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton which shall be valid to all intents and purposes
en- the part of the constitution when ratified by the
legislatures of three-fourths of the states:
The senate of the United States shall be composed
senators from each state, elected by the peo-
pie thereof for six years; and each senator shall
have one vote The electors in each state shall have
the qualification requisite for electors of the most
numerous branch of the state legislatures
When vacancies happen in the representation of
any state in the senate, the executive authority of
such state shall wrts of election to fill such
vacancies provided that the legislature of any state
may empower the executive thereof to make tenn
porary appointments until the people fill the vacan
cies by election the legislature may direct
