THE limitation upon the liberty
of the press, which was criticised
in the ADVERTISER yesterday, was
stricken from the Constitution yes
terday with hardly a dissenting
voice. In its place, the power has
been vested in the Legislature to
suppress indecent publications, a
provision which is sorely needed,
in view of the disgusting obscenity
with which the pages of some roy
alist journals have recently been
sullied. Such publications would
not be tolerated anywhere, and
they are disgrace to Hawaii.

a plan In our complex society is
almost impossible. If naturaliza-
ton is insisted upon as a prerequi-
site to voting, then we must aban-
don the provision which allows no.
body to naturalize except citizens
of countries with which Hawaii
has treaty stipulations on this
subject. AS we have no such treaty.
with Portugal, to insist upon
naturalization at this time would
disfranchise every Portuguese in
the country.
Why cannot a compromise be
devised which will meet these diff
culties on both sides +? Let the
certificate of special service, pro-
vided for in Article II, entitle it's
holder, not to the privileges of citi-
zenship, but to become naturalized
without fulfilling the conditions
ordinarily required. This is al
ready provided for in Section 5 of
Article II, and it ought to be suffi-
cient. There will then be nothing
to prevent any faithful supporter of
the Government from sharing in
the privileges of the ballot. If any
such are disfranchised it will be by
their own act. There can be no
possible reason why every resident
of Hawaii should not become a citi-
zen.
The passage of Section 5 of Arti-
Gle II will make some of it's other
provisions superfuous.

sLIPsHoD AND BUNGLING.

The result Of the committee in
vestigation in the matter of the
election of Kunuiakea has failed
to seat Klemme, as it lowers his
score by seventeen-twentieths of a
vote, but it shows that he had good
reason for supposing that he might
have been elected. The work of
the inspectors has, in many in
stances, been of so slipshod and
bungling character that differ
ence of two votes seems practically
inappreciable. The number of re-
jected ballots which ought to have
been counted, and the counted
ballots which ought to have been
rejected, exceeded the difference
between Klemme's poll and Kunui-
akea's twenty times over. Fortu-
nately for Kunuiakea, the various
errors about balanced each other,
60 that he remains ahead. The
status of none of the candidates
was affected by the examination.
The moral of all this is that the
work of supervising registration |
must be put into more competent
and trustworthy hands than those

provision in the proposed constitu-
ion on this subject should be care
ully considered, and everything
