How ever, and farttcularlr should the legls- lature adopt resolutions along proper lines, I believe the time ia not far dis tant when onr powers win be 'broad ened pre juratory to putting as on pro bation fcr ctathood. . Of course local otn.os1t.ion of the Chamber of Com merce to a bill like the one providing for the election of a governor , may have some . weight although 1 a till think that will be passed. -Futvrt Possibilities When it has time. Congress will also, in my judgment, be teady to give the legislature the power to do as it pleases Jn both the woman suffrage and the prohibition questions, that is, to grant the legislature the power to pass on these questions, or the power to call a plebiscite to settle them. This see us to me to be the sentiment of many of the members with whom I SANITARY" DrtlNKING FOUNTAINS FOUND NOT Tfl PP PHI I Y PPPPPTIFlnav conversed, and certainly la the lUDCrutLi trrLViiit wntlment amonsu a large number of - fir Astclau Tnul IOWA CITY, Iowa, Impurities that remain suspended at the top of the stream from a continuous flow drink fountain are proved to have been . responsible for diseases of the throat, according to the investiga tions of Professor J. II. Dunlap, of the department of sanitary engineer ing of the University of Iowa. In his report he says that infectious orga ' nisrn have remained suspended at the crest of the column of water for as long aa 135 minutes. In. seneral Prof easor Dun lop sys that both the continuous and inter mittent flow types of so-called sani tary drinking fountains were found to be far from aanltary. They are not on principles of good' sanitation, Ihls. report sutes.-The main diffl culty with the Intermittent type is that persona will place their months directly on the metal top of the bubbler.; 1 "The continuous flow type Is not much netter," says Professor Dunlap. "because organisms "torn the mouth of the user ' remain dancing " in the column of water after the fashion of a rubber ball on the garden foun tain even though the bubble be In creased to the impracticable height of - four Inches."-"-' ' A recent investigation, according to the report, showed that 43 out of 77 bubble 'fountains were con taminated. The . best construction for the fountains. Professor Dunlap says. Is Tor tha column of water to be thrown at a slant, because then the Impurities can: dance no more.

Opposition to Land Bill "There will be considerable opposi tion to the till giving Hawaii abso lute power over the public lands, and a campaign of education will be neces sary before anything can be - accom plished along this line.

In asmuch as It appeared to be -written down that we had to take ft mainland man. we are fortunate in securing one of the ttPe of Mr. McAdam. He is quiet and unassunung, but has had considerable experience fn postal mat ters, and is quite an organizer. He will come to the Honolulu postoffice it a time when it becomes of much 'rore' importance than it has been. In the past, since it will be the head of fice for all the islands. : Mr. McAdam is a Very pleasant man to meet social ly, and aside from the mallhlnf part of it, I am sure Honolulu people will ike him. He is exceedingly anxious to make good and to overcome the prejudice against him as a mainland- er. ' .""

Day after day, while in the delegate's office. heard him make Inquiry aa to the status of the appointment. -The delay hi the confirmation wasl certainly not due to any opposition on the. part of Kuhio. - Kuhio Stays or Extra Session "I left the delegate In San Francisco. Heliad booked to return on the' Ven tura, but when the call for the extra session came, concluded to remain and return to Washington. The failure of several of the confirmation bills, and the possibility that the present crisis may suggest legislation in which Ha waii may be vitally Interested, con vinced him that he had better return. 1 found much Interest in Hawaii on the mainland, and believe that as a tourist resort wfe are going to beat the world.
