W J. Bryan has resigned his posi-
ton In President Wilson's cabinet.
From the Secretary's point of view he
possibly thinks he is right. But it
looks to the American people that a
patriot should not desert his post IN q
time of peril. Uncle Sam needs the
brains of the great men of the nation
to steer this nation from rupture with
Germany just at the present time.

troubles to Judge Ruppenthal to adjust.
Two candidates were up for the Office,
w. o. Cress and w. W. Rennick 1t
was claimed by the Cress partisans that
the vote was a tie-21 votes for each
candidate. The other side claimed that
81 votes were cast for W. W. Rennick
and 10 for w. o. Cress, and Rennick
was declared elected. Forty one wit
nesses were examined and the Judge
after the hearing took the case under
advisement and will render his decision
June 18th.
State Case VS.. Jacob Stecklein for

the tug to call at Laysan on her way
back here and to take off any tres
passers there Laysan is one of the
islands OF the Hawaiian bird reserva-
ton, and no permits have been issued
this year allowing anyone TO live there
As Capt. Max Schlemmer and his
family, who left here last June fol-
Laysan. are the only persons now liv.
ing on the island. unless some Japan
csc bird poachers are also there, the
navy department order, issued at the
request of the department OF agricul-
ture, will affect him. and, incidentally.
solve his problem of getting back to
this port. Capt. Schlemmer loaned his
sloop, the Helene, TO the captain and
crew of the o. NJ. Kellogg, to allow
them to make Midway, and with his
sloop at Midway the captain would
have had difficulty getting 1t back to
Laysan or returning to Honolulu.

especially true of the Survey Office.

This is one Of the striking para
graphs in the annual report of the
public works department, just submit
ted to the governor by Charles r.
Forbes. superintendent. Mr.. Forbes
makes the statement in his plea for
new civic center, which he says is
worthy much consideration and which
will be necessity before long.
Judiciary ground remodeling and
improvement also comes in for con-
sideration in the report, which de-
clares that the grounds are at present

No CURLING in Grounds.
Along with the report the superin.

There is no curb inside the grounds"
says the letter, although all of the
three streets are curbed outside OF
the sidewalks.
THE statue of Kamenameha stands
isolated from any building or tree, and
is unprotected. It has suffered much
from curio seekers who have broken
off pieces of the bronze. The statute
has been recently refinished, but it
is again, badly scratched by vandals.
Il would recommend that we en-

Cost Of New Prison.
In reference to the territorial prison
the SUPERINTENDENT states that to date
$41,9 1856 has been expended and obli
gated. Prison labor is declared to be
logical and economical method of
procedure, and il Is recommended that
the prisoners be kept at the work I'M
til the prison is complete.
Superintendent Forbes gives brief
resume of the past history of the Ke-
walo reclamation project, and states
that all of the obstacles which pre-,
scented themselves at the beginning OF
his present incumbency IA months age

each step by the attorney general it is
hoped and believed by the superin-

the differences that have arisen.
Considerable space is also given to
the Waiolama reclamation sanitation

proposed grades. As the cost of this
work would be far more than the ter
ritory could afford, new grades were
established which answer all the re
quirements of sanitation and give q
minimum amount of fill and cost tc
property owners. A careful and accu

been compiled.

purpose and of character easily han
died by the use OF suction dredge.
In the present project says the
report, ARE 80 parcels of land held by
% owners; the amount of material
necessary to fill to the established
grade of these various tracts varying
from Al cubic yards to 95,912 cubic
yards, the largest being the A.. A

The actual amount of fill to be
brought in is 207 JOG cubic yards. The
area actually covered by the fill is ap'

Waikiki Reclamation Job.
For the Waikiki reclamation sani-
tation project. an initial survey has
been made and maps drawn Of one
unit. 1t is believed that the work had
best be carried out unit by unit. Ow.
ing to the fact that there is at pres
ent only little more than $200, 900
available, and that most Of this sum
will have to be expended for the Wal.
DIANA work, Waikiki will necessarily
be delayed until more funds are pro
cured. The unit measured calls for q
fill of 190,2S0 cubic yards, covering q
surface area oil. 81 acres. The superin-
tendent recommends the project.
In addition to the projects named,
mention is made of the Round Top
road, the Homestead roads, and the
Auwaiolimu roads. 1t is stated that
the homestead road work has been in
general unsatisfactory owing to the
homestead laws and insufficient funds
for each job.
Mention is also made of the work on
the Insane Asylum, the Territorial
Marketing building now being CON
structed, the Hilo kerosene warehouse
which is finished, and the Waimea EN-.
bankment. also completed
Considerable discussion is given to
the subject of artesian wells with fig.
ures showing their flow during the
past year. Prevention of overdrafts
on artesian supply by legislation is
suggested.
In the back portion of the report
several pages are given over to a de.
tailed report of the finances of the de-
partment. The figures show that OF
real estate, buildings and equipment,
there is total belonging to the ter.
ritory of $759,396S9 For the period
from July 1, 1915 to June 30, 1917,
loan and special appropriations have
been made amounting to $793,703.96,
Collections made by the department
