bill originally called for exemption for
a period of four years. This was
amended to decrease the period to
three years. Yates, who has tried sew
eral times to get sisal lands included
in the exemption, offered an amend
ment to that effect, and finally won his
point. Coney offered humorous
amendment to include lands used in
the production of a variegated lot of
vegetables and fruits and also in the
manufacture and distilling of perfum-
cry. The House had good laugh and
tabled the amendment, and when Shell
don also sent in an amendment to a
like effect it went to- the table too,
and the House became serious again.
Correa sent in AN amynlment to in
clude rice lands in the exempted list.
Archer and Cooke opposed this, and
Cooke declared that the weakening of

POI TOPIC FOR
DISCUSSION

Poi will probably be a matter that
will engross the attention of the City
and County Fathers at the meeting to
be held at noon, tomorrow. The pro-
posed ordinance that has been intro
duced at the instance of City and
County Physician Bruce V. Mackall
will at that time come up for second
reading
1t is the intention of the Board to
hurry the passage of the measure in
order that it may soon become law
The bill as it will emerge from the
hands of the Supervisors will be
found considerably altered in several
of its provisions. In one instance
there is decided modification of the
original draft in that it has to do
with defining the height of cement
walls for local poi factories In the
measure first submitted to the board.
it called for six-foot cement walls.
This has been reduced to three feet,
this being thought sufficient to serve
the ends of sanitation, besides greatly
reducing the expense entailed in the
construction of the shops. 1t is con-
tended that lower walls insure better
ventilation.
number of claims against the
county will come up for passage at
the meeting.

HUNGRY FOR POI,
MAN ASSAULTS

Continued from Page y

The poi factory and the poi branch
offices are selling poi bags for five
cents each. This is unusual For
merly they did not ask anything for
it; but when they found out that
their bag supply was running short,
the charge was made.
Poi Offices Busy.
At the Metropolitan Meat Market
and the Union Pacific Transfer Co.
on King street, there are large num-
Der of Hawaiians waiting for poi every
day. The majority of them are wo-
men. Yesterday about a dozen wo-
men were at the Transfer Co almost
the whole day, waiting for poi.
Jacobsen of the Transfer Office was
there distributing poi to the hungry
crowd as soon as the poi wagons ar
rived from the factory at Kalihi. Al
though there was plenty of poi
brought there, it was not enough to
meet the great demands of the peo-
pie
A Hawaiian woman who paid her
last five cents for bag, was com
PEELED TO walk from the Kalihi Poi
Factory this morning. She told the
Chinaman, who was distributing and
selling poi at the factory that she did
not have another five cents to return
to her home in a trolley car. 1t ap-
peared that she did not bring a poi
container along, being under the inn
preston at the time, that she could
get the bag for nothing at the fac
tory
Complaint Made.
Most of the Hawaiian members Of
the legislature are approached day

to relieve the condition. The Ha-

thus do for this measure what aims to do for the public
SChooS-remove from log rolling or horse trading politics.
In sizing up the vote Of the Senate CognzanCe should also be
taken of the favorable attitude of Senator Makekau, the
Home Rule Senator from Hawaii. All elements in the Sen
ate are in line for the bill.
The committee amendments do not endanger the vital
principle of the school bill, which is primarily to place the
schools on proper pIane-he children of Hawaii first
Members OF the Senate having had ample time in which to
study this question there should be no doubt of final
unanimous vote at the third reading tomorrow and
the bill sent to the House of Representatives where should
in keeping with the record of that body thus far receive
prompt attention and be forwarded to the Governor for his
signature in comparatively few days.
The lower house members have followed the discussions
carefully and are no doubt by this time quite as we'll in

We have much to learn from the
faiths and philosophers of the Orient,
in the conduct of life, particularly as
regards liberation and charity Rev
s. Chose of the Delhi Mission, in a
recent address told his hearers:
ION the broad stage of daily, prac-
tical moral life the heather often find
precious little difference between
themselves and those who call them
selves Christians,
Christian worship is not very fruit
full in good works in India In other
words, the average church going An
glo-Indian Christian is not very de-
cidedly superior to the average pious
heather. The. only way to spread
Christianity in India is by making the
heather see that the Christian is SUI
perior to him in morals, in spiritual
life, in ideals"
And in that Christian charity which
we are told is the greatest of all
these"

intolerance and bitter opposition
which was SO prevalent in the dark

ception Of the Rev. Alexander Brown,

press to criticise men in public Of.
flee.
h decision reversed a Judgment Of
$50, 900 obtained by Sam 3. Cook, for
mer secretary of state of Missouri,
against he st. Louis Post Dispatch.
The suit grew out of an editorial pub
~lication in the Post-Dispatch COM
menting on the failure Of the Salmon
& Salmon Bank of Clinton, Mo-, in
1905, and criticising the then secretary
Of state, Mr.. Cook, for delaying to close
the institution When it was insolvent.
The decision enunciates a principle
which lawyers say is Of sweeping i'm
portance to newspaper editorial writ
ers. saying:
Whether the plaintiff. in failing to
enforce the law, " +" " was or was not
actuated by the motives imputed In
the article complained Of. we are sat
isfied that such an inference and COM
ment was fully warranted by the facts
and circumstances in evidence, and as
the facts upon which the comment was
made we're true, the publication was
not defamatory under the law of libel,
but was privileged as a criticism and
comment upon q matter of public In
terest.
Question Of Malice.
"In the conclusion arrived at we
have not overlooked the principle Of
law that comment and criticism. to be
privileged, must be fair and honest,
and not malicious; and that whether
it is fair and honest is a question for
the jury. While that Is the law, the
burden is on the plaintiff to prove h a
"a comment is unfair and dishonest,
and If there is no evidence Upon which
a rational verdict could be found on
the basis that -theftomment Is mali
cious, al we hold In, this case, the case
should not be submitted to the jury"
Editorial That Caused Suit.
The editorial on which Mr.. Cook
sued the Dispatch, which itself Is
an independent democratic newspaper,
is as follows: .. a,as
