AN AGED BRIDE
SEEKS RELEASE

The sorrows of a bride of over three
score years of age are related in a
libel for divorce brought by Kahaleld
Keawemauhili against her husband OF
the latter surname and no Christian
name. They were married less than
year ago at Laie, according TO the
libel, or about the 18th day of April,
1908, when the complainant had been
Il widow for about a year. At the date
of marriage she was of the age of
about G3 years and-which is signifi-
cant in view OF the other allegations
was possessed OF considerable pro-
perty, including the house and prem
ises wherein she then made, and hath
ever since made her residence at the
village of WGialua. Immediately af-
ter the marriage Keawemauhili, wha
was and is man Of no property and
dependent on a laborer's wages for a
living, left Laie aud went to live with
his wife at Waiaua.
The rest of the story is relation OF
the cruel and oyerbearing conduct OF
the husband toward the wife. his
threatening her in foul language with
violence so that she was reduced to a
state of constant terror, his habitua
drunkenness and behaving toward hel
so rudely and riotously that his con.
quot has become a public scandal in
and about Waialua," so that she has
had to make frequent appeals for safe
ty to the police.
After each outburst he has crayenI,
begged her forgiveness, and she ha.
forgiven and condoned mis- offenses SC
often as to demonstrate that there /,
no sincerity in his promises of petre,
behavior. He has gone so rar as tC
threaten to drive her from her owr
house and home. With his habitua
intemperance he squanders all hi.
earnings in drink and provides moth
ing toward his own or his wife's main
tenance.
All of which the bride of three scor,
and three submits as reasons WHY sb,
should be disencumbered of such
husband at the hands of the law G

ONCE REGISTERED THE TROUBLE BEFORE
THE BOARD OF REGISTRATION AGAIN

I'VE are thinking of recommending
20 the Legislature the creation of a
Great Register" Governor Frear said
this room.
That is, a permanent register OF
voters, instead of making a complete
registration every two years, so that
the only work of the board of registra-
tion will be to make necessary changes
in the lists.
The idea is thrown out with view
10 getting expressions of opinion. 1t
seems to be a desirable innovation. In
