SUNDAY LAW VETO ovERR1DDEN

And then came the star performance
of the morning session, when Senator
Palmer noods moved a reconsideration
of the vote by which consideration of
the Governor s veto of the Quinn Sun
day law had been postponed until Mon
day Reconsideration carried, and with
no debate whatever President Isenberg
called the roll upon the question as to
whether the veto should be overridden
and the law passed in despite of it
The vote resulted ii to in favor of
passing the law over the veto, Haysel-
den being absent as witness in the
Richardson embezzlement case on trial
at Waikiki and so not voting. The
vote follows:
Ayes-AchI. Bishop, Brown, Dowsett,
Gandall, Isenberg, Kalama, Lane, Nc

PRICE TOO HIGH.

Secretary Atkinson wrote that the
only tender he had received for trans
lating and promulgating the laws of
the present session in Hawaiian was
at the rate of 1913 per page. This he
considered excessive and did not feel
justified in recommending its accept
ance.
THE ''INFALdoUS PUNIsHMENTS. -
A report strongly favoring House
Bill 153, relating to prisoners other
than felons, was returned by the Judi
ciary Committee. The bill is intended
to overcome the ditnculty arising over
the infamous punishment decisions
by which it was settled that any per-
son whose punishment may entail hard
labor must be indicted by grand jury
and tried by petit jury in Circuit
Court The new Dlll would do away
with all Infamous punishment and
would permit all misdemeanors TO be
tried before a District Magistrate.
Superintendent Holloway wrote that
he was consulting with the Attorney
General on the matter of the labor en-
ployed by L. Vasconcellos, contractor,
for the Keauhou Kailua road and
would write more fully on the receipt
of the opinion.

|the situation is a simple one. The

He moved that the further consider

Progress had to be made, he said, other

parently this phase of the question had
not dawned on any one of the law

ceased their diatribes.

the production of sisal fiber, castor oil,

no government road between Wahiawa

TAXATION BILL.
The House went into Committee or
the Whole on the taxation bill at the
opening of the afternoon session and a
fierce argument arose in Hawaiian,
which was not translated, between Fer
nandez, Coelho, Nakuina and a few
others over the proposed exemption of
the Lunaliho Home. The want of trans
lation was not the fault of Interpreter
Wilcox, for the honorable members
simply hurled punches of vowels across
the mouse and punctuated them with
bangs on their desks.
Patience ceased to be q virtue, and
at last Harris rose to a point of order,

A primary law is one Of the greatest
needs 81 the State. The majority Of
Democrats who vote have pronounced
enphasically for law which will secure
fair dealing and honesty at primary cleo
tons for the nomination OF State, par.
3ochial and municipal officials. Such a
law will be enacted during the next SEES
sion Of the Legislature Notwithstanding
the all-powcrful influences which may be
directed to its postponcment, If not its
defeat. The great majority Of Democrats
who vote and carry elections are in
earnest and will Be satisfied with no

HOLDING LIFE LIGHTLY.

The Monroe Star reports the acquittal
OF two white men, tried recently in the
criminal court of Ouachita parish, who
had been indicted for murder. Accord
ing to the Star, the crime of each was
deliberate, but both were acquitted by
the jurors who were swayed by maud
lin sentimentalities and proneness to
condone crime" Commenting on these
two cases, the Star says:
But juries are largely the reflex Of
public opinion and sentiment, and as we
have suggested, the first essential thing
is to inculcate and impress upon the
whole people the sacredness of life and
the necessity for the enforcement of law
Until this is done it is useless to expect
more of juries. They will not rise above
the level of their environment and con-
dition The public conscience must
needs be quickened, the heart of the
whole leavened and purified before we
can have that respect for the majesty of
the law and that high regard for human
life that is essential to the peace and
happiness Of every community. There is
urgent, crying need for it here and the
involvement OF the law that is as old as
the world, an eye for an eye and tooth
for TOOTH
The Star is right. The cheapest thing
on earth Is human life, and it is value
less in the proportion of the maudlin
sentiment exercised in behalf Of the man
who IS on trial for, murder. Whatever
sympathy there may have been for the
deceased, snatched in a moment from
his loved ones, cruelty, cowardly muir
siered, is shifted to the man at the bar
of justice. II is no wonder that muir
dcrers escape that men inclined to muir
der are emboldened to commit the deed
that jurors are found in readiness to |
condone the crime. The people are re-
sponsible fer such laxity in law. With
4 strong. powerful influence directed to
the enforcement Of law, technicalities |
and evasions could have little bearing in
the administration Of fuli-handed JUS
tice, which is now. ii the great majority
Of cases Of murder a snare and de-
fusion.

tity Of stamps at the Austin postoffice

sion that some such offer had been
made, but not by a s.lator.
Messrs. HOskins Low and Holmes
offered a resolution in the house recit-
ing that 1t had been reported in the
newspapers that some member of the
legislature had offered postage stamps
for sale at the Austin postoffice; that
the senate committee appointed to in
vest'Gate the matter had gone far
enough to find that some one had offer
ed to make such sales, but that it was
not member of the senate. and provid-
ing that the house create a committee
to investigate the matter. Adopted
of resolution were appointed

When questioned about the banking
bill, Governor Lanham sold: "It Is in

IF you veto the bill will you submit

passage is. I am very much in favor
Of this legislation, and there seems to
