Sir: ! deem it of interest to the
general public to learn how the Kapi-
olani estate entered into possession
Of the Old regal palace Of the Kane
hamehas at Kailua, Kona, Hawaii.
In my opinion, and l am confident
in that of most others who take a
personal interest in Hawaiian his
tory, the old home of the Kamehame-
has in Kailua is of more than passing
interest. and question naturally
arises how this ancestral estate of

the territory; Senator James L. Coke for the
supreme bench.
The organic act says:
mo member of the legislature shall, during
the term for which he is elected, be appointed or
elected to any office of the Territory of Ha,
wall" ..
The question is whether the secretaryship of
the territory is an office of the territory of Ha
waii; whether a supreme court justiceship is an
office of the territory of Hawaii.
George a. Fairchild, who used to be a sena-
tor from Kauai, took the emphatic position that
he was disqualified from possible appointment
as governor because of his position as senator.
On the other hand, the governor and the secre-
tary and the justices are appointed not inHawail
but in Washington; they owe their position not
to the territory, but to the national administra-
ton and in some quarters these offices are re-
garded as federal offices.
1t is expected that this question will be set
tied by thes present territorial administration.
Certainly it should be settled before appoint
ments are made that might raise the question.

GOING TOO FAR

Agreeing with most of the recommendations
made by the grand jury, the Star Bulletin does
not approve of its recommendation for limiting
publication of city appropriation resolutions or
Of ordinances to one issue. The fact that pos.
sible advertising profits are involved has moth
ing to do with the objection IL those who wish
to limit publication of important civic meas
ures to one issue will look up recent charters,
particularly under the most modern adaptations
of commission government, they will find that
the tendency is toward more publicity in city
affairs instead of less They will find that no
such limit, in the great majority of charters, is
placed on drawing public attention to import
ant resolutions and ordinances. Restricting pub
licity to its lowest terms furnishes simple and
easy way for corrupt or scheming set of Off
Gals to "put a job across on the taxpayers
