The noise of all these activities

Secretary Lane and ascertaining the
situation Mr.. Humphreys wired Mr..
Watson that the race was still open

Supporters of L. L. McCandless and
Gilbert J. Waller for the goyernorship
pricked up their ears last week at the
report that the election of e. NJ. Wat
son as president of the Southern Club
of Hawaii had been cabled to Wash

claims to the governorship.
Southerners who were present al
the meeting also pricked up their
ears, for it had been distinctly under

GET EXPERT ADVICE ON The SCHOOLS

Representative Paxson and the other legisla-
tors who united in submitting the now notorious
report on school conditions earnestly protest
that they are actuated by the best of motives,
that their work was done, their report drafted,
not as an attack on Superintendent Pope or Prin-
cipal Wood, but as a move to better the depart.
ment of public instruction
If this is the case-and we are naturally in
clined to credit them with publicspirited mo-
tives they can hardly object to the proposal
that commission be authorized by tie legisla-
ture to study the situation thoroughly and care
fully for two years and report at the session Of
1915.
Action now, based on the report of last week,
could not be called well-considered ,or thought
full. 1t is very evident that large, energetic
and intelligent portion of the community dis
agrees absolutely with the committee and ex-
poets the legislature to keep its head and not up
set the school system of this territory solely be-
cause two representatives and one senatorial
of them serving their first session, o.-haye
come to the conclusion that something ought to
be done. 1t is very evident that many citizens
just as well-informed just as philosophical just
as anxious to see the schools progress as are
these three members, firmly oppose the summary
removal of Mr.. Pope and the amalgamation of
the Normal School and the College of Hawaii.
The legislature is representing this portion of
the community just as much as any other por.
ton. The legislature has nothing to go on now
but a half-baked, onesided, loosely drawn, anna
flourish document that confesses in several
places it's own Inconsistencies!
The Star Bulletin believes that commission
may well be appointed to go into school condi.
tions thoroughly, without fear and without fa-
vor. We believe that the territory also should
have the benefit of investigation by an educa-
tional expert identified with none of the present
busy factions here. If Hawaii wishes, the terri.
tory can secure the services of a recognized ex-
pert detailed from the national bureau of edu,
cation in the department of the interior. If the
matter is properly presented to DIR. p P. Clax-
ton, commissioner of the national bureau,
through Secretary Lane, he will detail an expert
educator to come here and Hawaii may have his
services for-the paying of his expenses.
An expert, man of standing and impartial
ity, together with a commission representing
every island in the territOry-not necessarily
schoolmen, either; in fact, a substantial proper
tion should not be identified with school work
such a man and such a commission could make
an investigation of real and lasting value.
And, if the members of the legislature who
signed that report last week are consistent and
sincere they cannot object to the commission
plan. HI

A Hot August.

The extreme heat Of the past several
weeks seems to be causing an unusual
complaint. Everyone was SO worn
out, so weary of the insufferable blaze
OF the sun and blister Of the prevailing
south wind that many felt it could no
longer be endured. The complaint
spoken of above, was peculiar
hoarseness Of the voice, . tired huski-
ness, accompanied by sore throat in
some instances.
The month this year averaged 6
degrees warmer than August 1912. A
maximum temperature of 100 degrees
on the 18th requi red two weeks to cool
of to 81 on the 10Th. But 1t didn't
last long. Old Sol got right back on
the job and speeded up till he couldn't
stop for whole week In September.

and by October 18th, the beautiful
rays Of the five-globe lamps will
radiate from every corner Of Maine
street. No more dark and dismal
hours for the city with q future. She
will be transformed into q second
House Of a Thousand Candles" in
an oasis in the desert and all roads
henceforth will begin to lead to
Sleepy Eye. To obtain this far
fetched standard of progress has re-
quired several years Of agitating by
the live ones, but their efforts are
to be rewarded and commemorated
by the. brightest monuments that
could be built.
One post will be set at the livery
corner and for seven blocks on Maine
street, two will be put in front of
the school house, one in front Of
the public library and one in front of
the Hanson and telephone buildings
on Sixth street. It is thought how
ever that the better residence dis
tricts will be lighted rs soon as sew
eral property owners have expressed
their willingness to buy the posts
for their own property. With this
