sYsPEMATIzING PUBLIC RESOURCES.

Territorial photographer l>arrisons suggestion Tor
merger OF four important governmental bureaus may
or may not be correct in detail but it is valuable as
showing the large public resources here which need
bettet-knit administrative system. -..
Some territorial officials estimate that within FIVE
years the territory should be getting half million dol
lars annually from the rental and leasing Of water
rights provided leases expiring and soon 10 expire are
properly handled -, ..ns.s.#..s H.. Il
There is q rather widespread belief that the IS
lands water-rghts have been mainly allowed to get
into private hands, but this belief is erroneous Many
valuable rights are under lease and number Of these
leases wilt soon be up for renewal The territory
ought 10 derive from them handsome income.
The board of agriculture and forestry has done and
IS doing good woodwork which is, moreover, with
out susicion OF politics. The political faith OF the
commissioners makes no difference in their selection.
Hwouid appear at least majority Of the commits
stones are politically Of an opposite party to that
which the governor espouses This board will prob
ably oppose so radical change as Superintendent
Larrison proposes and in fact this change cannot be
fully, carried out without legislative action,
Bur the aim baeksof Mr. Harrison suggestion, that
OF closer coordination between the land water survey
and forestry and agriculture bureaus is good aim.
Such problems as that furnished by the Kauai home
controversy show that the territory
has not reached an ideal system of handling its public
resources The delay in settling the Kauai difficult
hes is provfyof that.

The PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. AND
BUSINESS. 70

AS the campaign progresses it is becoming increas-
ngly evident that politics will be less of influence
than usual this year upon business conditions. This
is not alone because of the greater interest in the COM
picstons that have resulted from the European war
and the lncertanty about Mexico, bur because THE
common belief that the two great parties are working
along similar lines and will do everything possible TO
attract the conservative vote A good deal may hap
pen In the next three months to modify these oondi-
tions but the public mind at the moment so taken
up with questions not related to the campaign that it
IS not surprising chat interest in The political situation
should be at relatively low ebb. There is little de-
Iand for new legislation affecting either the railroads
Or industrial corporations. This may develop later
but when comes IT is likely to be of the constructive
type and not calculated to unsettled business to
commit the country experiments in government

BLOOD AND THUNDER IN THE

Editor Honolulu Star.Bulietin. "
Sir: A Honolulu publication seems
bent upon poisoning the public mind
against the exhibition of serial motion
pictures, Too much exposure OF
crook life" being the main object OF
attack. Out Of place In HAWAII is
another expression used. Say, Mr..
Editor! The writer has been to three
church services recently wherein the
minister, in expounding the lessons OF
the gospel, laid bare the most sordtd
forms Of crook-existance, drawing his
picture as best he could in words OF
the young girl in. danger-ef, the
tempted young man-of the. orgies OF
the cabaret--all to more clearly con-
trast the better life with the under
world. The sermons. were good, and
most effective, a.se3 ? 49,
Morals cannot be preached or illus

these serial productions, OF course,
there are Williams who are upstO their

cultivates a hatred for these creatures
and learns to love the heroes and
heroines. Pearl White, one OF the
moot beloved women in fflmdom has
