THOSE MANY ERRORS.

Much comment has been aroused
in and by our contemporaries over
the many material errors found in
the enrolled copy of the County Act
presented to the Governors careful
scrutiny a week ago today. That
copy was returned to the Senate on
Saturday and the discrepancies ccr-
rected, all OF which were purely cle-
rical, and clean copy handed back
to the Governor yesterday morning,
duly certified to by the proper off,
GERS OF both branches of the Legis-
lature. From our stand point, we
fail to see wherein any very grave
deviation has bsen made in the cor
recting OF that final copy, for the
Governor could himself have had
the corrections made and none
would have been any the wiser. In
ordering the corrections, he showed
wherein he was honest and that his
motives, 80 far as now known, are
in perfect accord with the demands
of the people and of his political
party, which he dare not ignore.
But, as is usual in such cases, the
enrolment clerk has been blamed
and upon his shoulders lie the re-
sponsibility for such defects. Why
blame hint We think that before
heapiug the blame upon him it
should be remembered that al
though a Hawaiian. he compares
favorably as far as capacity and cap
ability are concerned in such lines
OF work with others of any political
party or faction or race,and glance
beyond his immediate duty would
not be amiss nor out OF place. To
blame him is to blame as we'll those
who did the typewriting, into whose
work typographical errors were
bound to creep, as none are perfect,
and in comparing these copies some
passed the scrutiny of the enroll
ment clerk who sat all night and in
to the "wee sma' hours" OF morning
to push the work ahead to an errly
completion, for, it must be borne in
mind that the work was a rush af-
fair. Such errors were bound to
come 10, and pass his scrutiny. and
when later discovered by others,

But as to the legality OF the cor.
racted copy, that ia unque.tionably
in order and perfectly proper, as it
is as near perfect as can be SIS now
known, without adding thereto or
eliminating therefrom any matter
relevant as originally passed in the
Senate and yised by its Revision and
Enrolment committee, and finally
passed in both branches. And fual.
ly, the copy when it left The enroll
ment clerks hands was better typo.
graphically than the one first turned
out by the Senate, and the corrected
copy still better than either one OF
the Others.
