bility, from Sunday school rooms
to a completo stago equipment, from

(responsibility in religious education,
a tesponslbility which can be quite
accurately measured by the steady
growth of your high school in num

portion of those high school pupils
come from ion-Christian homes. Put
they, themselves will not be n.udd
hlsts or Confuclanlsts. Living in a
Christian land, they ought to be
Christians. Thru this building the
church ought to be better able to
conduct a school of religious educa

generations a knowledge of and en

of Jesus.

Kauai Disapproves
of Change in Status
of Public Utilities
Tho Kauai Chamber of Commerce
hold a special meeting nt the Lihue
i ourt house last Friday afternoon
to consider tl. proposal that the
powers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission be delegated to a local
commission. The chamber wont on
record as opposing the charge and
as favoring the present system.
Feeling that the Interstate Com
merce Commission Is possibly too
far away to be of utmost service
in local matters, Congress Is con
sidering niakirg the change men
tioned. Governor Farrir.gton was re
quested to give his opinion ns to
the wisdom of the change. He, in
turn, asked tho various civic bod
dies oi: tho difefrent islands to
make suggestions.
The resolution disapproving of
tho change and favoring tho pres
ent system, whereby the Interstate
Commerce Commission has con
trol over Hawaiian railways, tele
phones and telegraph systems, and
the local public utilities commission
charge of tho lesser public utilities,
was presented by R. D. Molor, man
ager of the Lihue plantation. A.
Englchard seconded the motion.
Theor was' some discussion ns to
the minor points of Mr. Moler's re
solution, but tho wholo assembly
was heartily In favor of tho spirit of
tho petition and- It carried unani
mously. The Chamber of Commerce of Ho
nolulu took practically the same
attitude towards tho matter as the
local body, and there Is little doubt
but that, if Hawaii's wishes aro re
spected, tho bill advocating tho
change will be killed ln Congress.
The meeting being a special ses
sion, other matters wore not decid
ed but postponed until the regular
meeting which is to bo hold next
month.
