ON THE WRONG TRACK.

In Mr E. L. Sampson's note in yesterdays issue in reference to the lack of school fund to maintain a proper school according to his statement, he would want the public to believe that the council is wholly to blame for the condition he finds when, as mat, ter of fact the blame rests solely with the school board.
 In the first place; what is the school board for! The school board is composed of three members. Are these men merely figureheads? If they are We must hlame the council but the law says different, at least the law does not say that the members are merely gureheads but rather charges them with the super vision of the school after it is established
 In section 625 of code, in which the power and duties of the council and school board are emu meraed in subdivision ninth find that the council shall have the power ito assess, levy and collect general tax for school and municipal purposes, etc This shows that the council must provide the fund the lack of which AIr Sampson complains. Then fol- lowing this discovery We to subdivision twelfth which says o establish school districts, to provide the same with suitables-suitable mind you-school- houses and to maintain public school therein and to provide the necessary funds for the schools but such schools when established shall be under the supervis ion and control of school board of three members etc"
 From that it is evident that the law imposes duty upon the council in the matter that cannot be avoided But after the school Is established, it is under the supervision and control of the school board Now if the members of the school board had fulfilled their duties they would have demanded of the council adequate fund with which maintain proper school and in the event that their demand not needed all they had to do to go to the district court that is maintained to enforce the very law that de- fines the councils duties. If the school board neglect ed it's duty in that respect, this gives a right in our opinion-to pick the council, and all we can say is that the council pulled one the school board because the latter asleep or some thing. Furthermore, the school board takes good that the school teachers, jantor and all other

AMERICAS TURN NEXT"
Washington Times.)

That the United States will be at before many years; that all Europe is coming to despise America and be convinced of it's powerlessness, is the belief expressed by Victor Murdock, just back from long stay in. Europe.
 It is my firm conviction he says, 'that after peace is signed the nations hatred toward their enc mics will lessen in face of their united hostility to- ward us.'
 Who can doubt this, that has paid the least atten- tion to developing sentiment in the old world?
 Mir. Murdock has studied the question whether we can be invaded He knows how the allies trans ported great army to the Dardaneles, gathering it from all parts of the world; how they landed it on highly fortified coast how they held on for months in the face of greater force than the United States could bring to oppose invader. lie is con- vinced that naval power able to sweep away or bottle up fleet could do all this to and more.
 Will not Americans awaken to these lessons of the war? Can the purbind opponents of prepared ness much longer go protesting, denying, reject ing every proof that has been written in the blood of the nations?

GERMANS NOT TOUCHING.

Do the Germans take any of the food imported by the Belgian commission The answer is simply a plain and positive no I declare this of personal knowledge. The German general government of Bel gium and the general staff of the armies of the West gave guarantees to tlfe Spanish and American ministers in Brussels and to the commission that of the food imported by the commission would be requisoned or its distribution nterfered with in any way by the Germans And these guarantees have been rgidly lived up to--Vernon L.

GOVERNOR ENDS
INVESTIGATIONS

Governor Pinkham and Mr.. Lar
rison quietly departed Saturday
afternoon for Honolulu, after hav-
ing spsnt little more than week
on the island.
The sum total of the Governor S
accomplishments here seems O
have been the signing up of six
cane crop agreements between
homesteadersand the Ii tie Planta-
ton Co. and seventy-four between
homesteaders and the Makee Sug.
ar Company. These are all for
five wears each, and will be APP
proved in due course by the exec
utive.
The water matter and franchise
questions were left over, the Gov
ernor stating that the former would
have to await the development of
a general policy to apply to the
entire Territory, and the latter
would have to be taken up by the
Attorney General.
The Governor seemed to be
quite we'll satisfied with the re.
suits of his mission, stating before
he left that the visit had probably
resulted in a better understanding
all around.

BIG PROMOTERS
HERE TOMORROW

All Of the members Of the Ha.
waii Promotion Committee and a
few assistants will arrive on Kauai
tomorrow morning to make a tour
of this island.
The committee has asked for a
session with the Chamber of Com.
merce, and 1t has been decided to
turn the regular meeting of the
Chamber. in the county building
at Lihue Thursday afternoon, over
to that purpose. 1t is expected
that this meeting will be very large
ly attended. as the session with
the Promotion Committee is sure
to prove interesting and valuable.
The committee is visiting the
outer islands under it's new plan
of studying each island on the
ground. Hawaii and Maui have
alre ldy been visited, toured thor.
oughly and interesting sessions
held with the commercial bodies
of those islands. The same pro-
gram is planned for Kauai.
While nothing definite has come
to that effect, it is assumed that
Cyril 0. Smith, the new Kauai
member of the committee. will ac-
company the party. L A. Berndt
is the chairman. The presumption
is that the members of the com,
mittee from Hawaii and Maui will
also be along, although nothing
definite has been stated in regard
to this.
Regarding the tour the secretary
Of the committee. in a letter re.
ceived from Honolulu this morn
ing, has the following to say.

sibly go up towards Hanalei. This
is the first visit of the promotion
