RESOLUTIONS OF
ROTARIANS READ

1t was Resolution Day at the
Rotary Club, President Towse call
ing on the members for their New
Years resolutions and reading one
himself Through many of the resolu-
tions ran the sentiment that Honolu-
lu should work for good roads. Other
sentiments concerned furnishing more
amusement for visitors; taking a
more active part as individuals in
civic affairs; cooperating with public
officials; endowing bed at the
Children's hospital; realizing fully
that Honolulu is rapidly-growing
city and responding to its needs.
H. E. Vernon, quoting the figures OF
the presidential election, declared that
Wilson has been reelected by the
voice of the people, that the governor
of Hawaii is the appointee of the
president, and both this fact and the
dignity of the office should be suffi-
cient to prevent unfair, nagging and
petty criticism of the governor The
resolution in which he set this forth
was greeted with general applause A

With the resignation of Lorrin An

of the Civil Service Commission be-
cause of their election to the legisla-
ture, interest has been aroused as to
who their successors will be.
Mayor John Lane said this morning
that he had not come to a definite de-
cision but it is understood that his

Edward Fogarty. Noa w. Aluli will
be reappointed.
The appointment of the new con-.
4missicners will be made the first of
January by the mayor to be approved
by the board of supervisors, and there

both Sheldon and Fogarty will be the
new n1Ambers.
Another change that will take place
in the city hall the first of the year is
the resignation of Edward Woodward,
secretary to Mayor Lane. Woodward
would not say this morning why he

three local Japanese arranged TO sell

of $1,000 upon the delivery of the tins

the buyer handed over $1,000. At
that point another Japanese, believed

There is little doubt that a fed.

do not think Hawaii needs it. If there
was one, however, the investigators
would be surprised at and pleased with
educational conditions as they exist
in Hawaii today They would find
that the standard in Hawaii is higher

it undoubtedly would be worth while
We haze nothing to hide in our

know what we are doing in Hawaii in
