The last quarterly report of our County Auditor, which appears elsewhere in this issue gives us mighty good reasons for feeling satisfied with the administration of county affairs. King George of England is one of the big bigs, but he is having the chills just like the ordinary citizen. There is no divinity that doth hedee a kitnr when it comes to the shakes. The oromnt remacadamizing of the Nawiliwili grade and main street is a marked contrast from the manner i n which the road work is done by political Honolulu An exchange says that Mrs. Cat, the women suffragist advocate who recently lectured in Honolu lu, suggests the regulation panta loons for her sex.

HAWAII HAS L IBRRRY Continued from page 6. apply to traveling of the custodian The suffragists who recently made a pilgrimage from New York to Albany, through snowy slush, were excited and exagerated women, whose sole aim in making the pilgrimage as they are wont to call it was the attraction of attention. The demonstration will not likely help their cause. The convicts in the Missouri penitentiary were feasted Christ mas on turkey and trimmings and the prisoners in the Chicago jail were treated to a concert by a grand opera company. I f this kind of business continues, a man will have more fun in prison than out of it. Since the stock law question has resolved itself into a question of letrallv constructed fences, and that a lack of such is responsible f oi the present condition of affairs, what is to be done about our Estray law which is defined in section 7, act 125 of the Session Laws of 1907 as follows: An estray ib defined in Section 7 of Act 125 of the session Laws of 1907 as follows: Section 7. Estrava. If any horse, mule. ass. hoc. sheen. Kout or meat cattle shall bo found at larRO, and not upon the land of the owner, or person having charge of such animal; or if found doiiii? ,damace to the property of private indi viduals, or of the Kovernment, such animal shall be regarded as an estray with in the meaning of this Act." so far as they libraries. The duties would be: (l) The supervision of the loan of books. (2) Responsibility for the return of the books to the central library. (3) A report to the librarian of the central library as to the circu lation of the books and as to loss or damage. The Trustees of the Library be lieve that the most practicable of the foregoing agencies, and in fact the only one financially possible at present, is the fourth, that is, traveling libraries. They therefore hope to establish as soon as possible a number of stations on the different Islands t o which traveling libraries can be sent. They suggest the following list of places, believing that they will serve as centers for the distribution of books. Island of Oahu: Waialua, Ka- neohe. Island of Hawaii: Hilo, Honu apo, Napoopoo, Kailua, Honokaa, Kohala. Island of Maui: Wailuku, L a -haina, Hana. Island of Molokai: Kaunakakai. Island of Kauai: Lihuc, W a i - mea, Hanalei. The foregoing fifteen places are susrtrested because they all have steamer landings and the Trustees do not feel that they can arrange for overland transportation. If the people living inland from some of these places will provide and pay for transportation to and from the landings the stations can be placed inland at points more convenient for larger numbers of people. The Trustees believe it is their duty to establish stations and to provide for the distribution of books so far as possible without exoense to residents on the other Islands availing themselves of the traveling libraries, and they there fore intend to pay the expense of transportation of the books to and from the stations. If, however, residents of other districts than those named are willing to pay for the transportation of the books to and from Honolulu the Trustee may be able to provide the books and to forward from time to time traveling libraries to such other districts where the demand is not great enough t o warrant the Trustees establishing traveling libraries free of charge. The Trus- tees tneretore suggest uie iorni.i- tion of reading circles or clubs to guarantee the cost of transportation of traveling libraries and thus bring the libraries within the reach of those who would not otherwise be served. The foregoing plans are pro visional, and suggestions from all persons interested are requested especially as to the places to be selected tor stations. All com munications should be sent to the undersigned at Honolulu. Honolulu, January 10, 1913. Robbins B.
