OPTION
IS RESCUED
HousE-rIFTY-FIRsr DAY.

H0USE-F1FTY-FIR DAY.
After backing and filling for the past
week, threatening and cajoling by turns
the House members decided on Satur
day to pass the Local Option bill. Ka
leiopu and Pail, who had led the forces
of the opposition and talked harder
against the bill than any others, voted
aye when it came to the scratch and
Kaniho was absent. 1t is said that the
bill is reasonably sure to be passed In
the Senate.
Another Senate bill bit the dust or
Saturday, this being the Married
Teachers bill. The measure was
tabled on the report of the Education
committee, the only reason presented
being that the members had carefully
considered the bill. There is just o
little suspicion in the air that tip
had been passed out that the Senate
Education committee had passed the
death sentence on the Teachers Pen
sion bill and the House committee had
thought only to get their work in first
The most interesting discussion of
the day was that over Sheldon's laun-
dry bill, which was laid aside as a
measure calculated in some way to ere
ate a monopoly and raise in prices.
Sheldon fought hard for his measure,
but it was amended beyond recognition
and then expeditiously slaughtered,
even its fond parent voting against it.

The House amendments to the SEN
ate's Billboard bill were concurred in
by the upper chamber, according to the
