philip H. DODGE

lulan, whose poetry and philosophy
have delighted a wide circle OF
friends, is the author of very timely
little booklet, For Christmastide,"
produced by Gurrey's Ltd. and on
sale at the Gurrey shop. Fort street.
In this booklet, which is just off
the Star.Bulletin press, Mr.. Dodge has
a dozen short poems, some no moro
than fragments in volume but each
distinguished by grace and nobility OF
thought clothed in appropriately
poetic language. 1t is a book we'll
adapted for sale during the Christmas
season and will appeal to q much
wider taste than that of Mr.. Dodge's
personal friends.
The frontispiece is a reproduction
of the charcoal drawing of Mr.. Dodge
by Miss Juliet May Fraser now on view
in the Burnham-Fraser. exhibit at the
University Club The book will be
widely welcomed not only as an op-
portunity to solve the problem of
Christmas gift purchasing but as an
addition to the worthwhile literature
credited to Hawaii authorship.

EDITOR
Reading the Minutes"

Reading the minutes Of the last meeting CONT
nues to occupy large part Of the time the terri
tory ought to spend in transscting important cur
rent business.
Under the head Of reading the minutes falls
the renewed controversy over the decentralization
Of the national guard last summer.
We thought that particular scrap was over and
done with, but the governor wound up his pitching
arm yesterday and delivered a fast outdrop shoot
ing strike past the food commission and its attOr-
ney, Alfred L. Castle who is by way of being con-
siderable Of baseball player himself and who will
doubtless come back with an inshoot or Mathew
son fadeaway. Then for month or so we will
have the rival twirlers trying to bean" each other
with letters documents and statements each irving
to prove somebody else responsible for whaH hap
pened to the guard and what didn't happen.
1t will add materially to the peace and goodwill
Of the Christmas season and to the gaiety of ma
tions. Whether it will help the national guard is
emphatically doubtful
The Star Bulletin does not pose as prophet but
we are willing to risk the modest prediction that
II the facts gone into carefully and without pre-
JUDGE, and if those most vitality concerned will
clearly remember what happened last MAY and
June. it will be established that the food commits
sion acted in good faith, that after minor Incl
dent 1t got together" with the governor and with
the Hawaiian department, and that. all acting in
good faith, the decentralization and later reduc-
ton Of the guard was agreed upon There was some
little tilt between the governor and the commission
at time when each was set upon a slightly differ
ent course, but it was adjusted.
Delegate Kuhio says he will introduce in the
house resolution calling for an investigation It
does not appear that he had no opportunity to in
vestigate when he was right on the spot and when
the incidents were occurring.
Why waste time over this controversy now?

Chicago, Aug. 7.-Elihu Root. who

there is scarcely more disorder in

States.
Certain disturbances are inevi-

radical as that of Russia" said Mr..
Root, "and cable dispatches deal
largely with these disturbances.
Hence thepublic has gained an i'm

in Russia except demonstrations. AS
matter of fact If reports on Amer
