win Support Laws.
"What the government has required,
in the oath of allegiance which it has
prescribed, is that the applicant will
agree TO support aud defend the Consti-
tuition and laws of the United States;
that is, that he will obey those laws;
keep them, observe them; and cndeayor
to keep others from violating them.

The real meaning and intent of the oath
is sought to be distorted and twisted
into meaning that he win not support
the constitution and laws only, but that
he will get out and physically fight
anyone who does not support and obey

this applicant to make such promise,

"YOur petitioner desires to become
an American citizen in name, as he
feels that he has right to do. He is
not an anarchist, nor violator of the
law, and endeavors to live up to the
laws of his adopted country as he

to the dictates of his own conscience.
right accorded to him by that Con

law Of the land. This he promises to

cannot be required to promise, and does
insist that the government Of the great
United States of America only requires
him TO obey the Constitution and laws
as written, all of which he promises to

At the meeting of the charter mem
bers of the Maui Boat and Country
Club that was held on Monday evening
last at Kahului, about thirty people
attended. There were many details
settled, and the club was properly
launched with everything pointing to a
very successful issue.
The most important matter settled
was the capitalization of the club. The
capital stock was set at $1,000, and the
shares to be sold at par value of 500.
The matter of a site for the club
was taken up, and it was practically
decided that tract of land-i9 acres
in. extent--be. secured on the beach,
just beyond the Searby beach house and
before the Camp One beach house is
reached.

that will cost about $4,000.
There will be two wings branching
out from the rear of the clubhouse,
and between them will be an open court
yard. The rooms for lockers, shower
baths, etc, viii be located in, the wings.
An eighteen hole golf links will be
arranged for, At first the course may
only be a nine hole affair but, at any
rate, there will be golf played at the
new club. A tennis court is also to be
constructed and, ia time, billiard table
may be installed.
