or that is mailable, but the officials
here have no right to give any advice
until after the card is mailed and be-
comes for the time being the charge
of the government.
1.-THE question of whether a card is
obscene or not varies very much with
what is inscribed on it by the sender"
said the postmaster "for instance,
speaking in my private capacity, l
think that there are many pictures of
native life here in Hawaii which, of
themselves, are entirely innocent. They
are simply representations of customs
which would be interesting to people
far away, but it only takes a few words
written under them TO change their in
nocent character entirely. Those are
the things that 1 apprehend the de-
partment wishes to check
"As I say tine spirit and the letter
of the new instruction will be lived up
to and anything that we find suspi-
cious will be sent to Washington to be
passed upon. None of the cards that
we have held up here have been par
ticularly Objectionable, that is in COM
parison with some that used to come
through from certain European coun-
tries, but it seems to me that the pic
ture card proposition has been abused
and it is well that the abuse should be
checked. Nothing can be prettier than
a card giving a view to absent friends
of the picturesque spots in the country
one may be passing through but therf
is no excuse in the world for the use
of the public malls for the transmission
of either vulgarity or obscenity, or as
far as that goes, even stupidity"

there are grave fears that her spine is
permanently injured DR.. Vile had
been planning to leave for Honolulu
