1t is disgusting spectacle to see
one known to be drunkard make

any state is rotten where such sights
or such men are tolerated. The truth
is that we are suffering from the
moral degradation following the dis

whiskey and have house cleaning in
South Carolina. l wish to assist in
that good work, but I am not the
man to run for Governor. I believe
we need to get rid of all of the old
political hacks and chronic office seek
ers. The Office seeking mania bids
fair to swamp the treasury. About
one primary voter out of twenty is
an Office holder of some kind and each
Legislature adds to the number, with
the result that taxes have increased
about 25 per cent in the last five
years. Every appropriation bill is
larger, while property values are sta
tionary or shrinking. A good busi-
ness man could run the State Gov
ernment more efficiently with one
third less Office holders and one-half

would his private business. While we

live on locusts and wild honey. He
must never sigh for the flesh pots

PHOTOGRAPHIC THE CARNIVAL.

+
Friction between Carnival officials and employees
and newspaper and movie photographers at the Car
nival swimming meet Thursday was needless. 1t
serves to illustrate some of the defects in Carnival
management which are the faults not OF intention
but Of insufficient advance provision in the matter
of detail
The Carnival management issues press badges and
allows photographers inside lines. Photographers
work on certain assignments from their employers,
and the photographer who doesn't get results fares
like any other employee with the same failing
Every year the Carnival management asks the
newspapers to give all the publicity possible to the
various events, both before and while they are in
progress, and photographs are particularly desir-
able. This is part of the business of advertising
Hawaii's annual Carnival just as much as it is the
business Of newspaperpublshing
Every year Honolulu newspapers strain every
human and mechanical facility to produce papers
which in text and illustration will be creditabe to
the Carnival and will advertise the Carnival abroad
They assign their photographers to take pictures
and the photographers must get the best pictures
possible.
1t is just as much the business of photographers
to be on duty at the swimming meet as it is the
duty OF ushers starters timers and judges This is
not to say that the photographers should obstruct
tnc ich VI tiic duuacllct W hat chOuu De QOne is
what is done throughout the mainland where big,
spectacular events are to be handled. Provision
should be made for photographers where they will
not obstruct the spectators standpoint but where
they can get just fine pictures as are to be had
anywhere on the course.
This can and should be worked out beforehand
between the management and the photographers.
In day when presidential inangurations state
funerals, royal weddings and even actual warfare
in the trenches are photographed only with the
assent but at the desire of the authorities in charge
lit cannot be said that suitable provision for
camera men is impossible at a swimming meet.
Hawaii stands to gain UNNECESSARILY in mainland
publicity through proper photography of this Car
nival. That alone is quite worth special effort to
sec that facilities are provided.
