In many cases the plants had been shut down

the site for the proposed Reform School.
Beckley had an opinion that the site
was unsatisfactory and was hopeful of
diverting the appropriation to the
wants of his own constituents.
Mahoe suggested that the Commit
tee be allowed to visit the site on Sun
day at their own expense; a proceeding
highly antagoaistic to Beckley's feel
ings for the respect of the Sabbath.
Aylett offered to pay hack hire and
Monsarrat refined in the discussion with
a motion that the House proceed to
business.
/ The proposed picnic gently drifted
into oblivion.

the charge made by the Republican of
March 31st, that the missing concurrent
resolution had been hypothecated by
Makainai, found the Honorable Repre-
sentative clear from all obloquy.

mitted that the notice had been OBJ

to hale the erring Editor before the
House, there to make suitable apology;
not however providing who was to do
the aforesaid 'haling."
Speaker Akina recommended discre-
ton and uttered an "Akina axiom
that the pen is mightier than the
throat"
Ewaliko urged that the House behave
as gentlemen and accept the Commit
tees report. Deprecatory advice, how
ever, was lost on Hihio who likened the
injury that had been caused the House
by the Republican article, to "a worm
that crawled around the House con-
Eliminating all it touched. Let US" con-
aluded the Reverend gentleman, LET us
make an example,"
robertson asked Hihio If 1t We're not

WIKI measure We mete 1t shall be meas

irrelevant discussion on Scripture no
/ tween Jiihio and Dickey, until the Speak
err advised them to keep the Bible for
Sundays.
The report was finally adopted and the
matter closed.
Everything went smoothly for the bal
ance of the morning session.
The afternoon opened with energetic
efforts TO dispose of the business in
hand, which was finally foiled by the
coming up of House bill 70, An Act to
Regulate the Observance OF Sunday

Speaker Akina was here heard to ex-
press hope that the constituents of the
honorable Representative would, when
they next elected him, include a phono-
graph with their choice.
Aylett, the introducer of the measure
in defending the bill, thought that the
man who was fined for purchasing a
package of cigarettes on Sunday was
unjustly treated; that sailors who land
ed after o'clock should be allowed to
buy soda water and tobacco. He had OBJ
tanned an opinion from the High Sheriff
that If the present law were rigidly en-
forced the station house would be full.
The Attorney General had recommended
that the law be not too severely upheld.
The bill was introduced because things
were too one-sided at present. On plan
tations irrigation goes on on Sundays,
which is not absolutely necessary, while
at times when travelling on Sundays it
is impossible in the country districts to
get even cracker to eat.
Ewalil1o opined that If a man is Of
fered double wage to work Sundays and
accepts that is all rig.,t. That the
offered bill was one-sided in that it al
lowed steamers To discharge freight on
the Sabbath and not sailing vessels. He
moved an indefinite postponement.
Mahoe pointed out that section 4, al
lowing stores to remain open from ! to
6 practically conserved only two hours OF
Sunday, as at present barber shops were
open until and the substitute bill pro-
posed to extend that time to II.

Paele: 'In the original bill there was
nothing to permit entertainments, while
in this present one it is possible to do al
most anything. In 1920 we were heath

years ago our fathers and mothers

Kelikoa: we are forgetting the
principles of our forefathers. Our laws
were based on Christian principles. We
seem to want to make Sunday a day
for good time rather than for worship.
If this is to be, why attempt to raise a.
