The Hawaiian gazette., 1905-03-03
THE HOUSE.

1t was Rep. Aylett of the Fifth who
Representatives yesterday for a few
minutes. otherwise the lower chamber
would have devoted an hour and a half
to the dull monotony of doing BUSH
ness, along business lines. As 1t was,
Aylett gave everyone n breathing
spell. He objected to members sub
hitting resolutions ON yellow paper
and he voiced his objection In the in
dignant tones which Warsaw's last
champion must have used when he
from her heights surveyed wide DER
the field a waste of ruin laid. Better
death than yellow paper said Aylett
of the Fifth, in effect and Speaker
Knudsen was relentless enough to rule
the honorable gentleman's objection
out of order.
AS matter of fact Aylett was prac-
tically but not literally, right from
the Hawaiian standpoint. The rules,
in English. call for the use of letter
or cap paper" for resolutions, cap"
being merely the abbreviation which
lack of word to indicate FOOLS cap
the Hawaiian translators of the rules
call that particular paper "pepa loio."
or lawyers paper" which may. of
course, make other people turn blue.
or even yellow, but is not yellow It
self
The English version of the rules has
to stand though and, under a perfect
l. 4. Ii,
to use yellow paper or green PAPER,
or black paper or pink paper with pur-
pie polka dots on tin fact. any sort
OF old paper, so long as 1t is cap size.
