tefday afternoon, recites that the COM
mittee found the measure of doubtful
legality" 1t points out that the Or
ganic Act makes no provision for
referendum. such as required in senate
bill SO, and that every bill becomes
law after it has passed three readings
in each house. OF the Legislature and
las been signed by the governor:
Various cases tending TO bear out
the opinion of the committee that the
bill is Illegal are cited in the report
fhe. statement is made that it is "ab-
solutely Illegal" The report points out
that neither political party in Hawaii
declared for prohibition in it's platform
at the time of the"last election, but
that each really decided against it by
reaffirming its adherence to the pres
ent liquor laws.

DECLARED GOOD

There is little DOUBT that Represen.
tatiye Kupihea's bill to repeal the eX.
listing laws relating to civil service
will be killed. in the house II the
county committee adheres to opinions
expressed on the measure at a public
hearing last night. e.. -~~. g..
With but few exceptions, all of the
several speakers, majority OF them
being Hawaiian, urged the committee
TO table the bill, declaring that eff
cheney In the police and fire depart
ments should be maintained at all
. times and that this efficiency can oniy
be secured through the civil service
regulations.
Edward Fogarty, member of the
civil service commission which the bill
seeks to put out OF business, spoke
vigorously in favor of tabfing the
measure.
Il am strongly in favor of civil
service rules" he declared. For years
the people OF Honolulu have been
Asowling for efficiency in the police
and fire departments. II was the OBJ.
ject OF the present laws, when they
went into effect in 1915, to create ef-
ficiency In the police and fire depart.

ceeded. IL
While this standard Of efficiency
may not be perfect, still, If these
regulations are continued in force, II
VIII be but a short time before this
perfect efficiency Is obtained in both
the police and fire departments.
A petition was handed the commit
tee, signed by members of the fire
department, protesting against the re.
peal of the present laws.

vigorously assailed the bill and de-
claEed il would be detrimental to the
entire community II the civil service
laws are repealed. #ss

mostly by members of the police and
fire departments. Representative E.

THE SPIRIT or rs

It is coming back again, ...,
And it stirs the souls of men
Like bugle call that echoes through
the night; > ~
For 1t lives anew as when,
In the forest and the glen,
The farmers rode at Lexington and
put the foe to flight.
Who said that 1t had died
Knoweth not, perhaps he lied,
For liberty shall live again though
buried in q grave;
And the souls of them abide -,
Who once battled side by side
To break the yoke of England or give
freedom to the slave.
1t is coming back again h.
With. the might that moved 1t when
It made tyrant tremble and ruled a
peoples fate;
And they who scorn the right
Forcing freemen to the fight,
Shall find the spirit strong again that
made a nation great.

York Sun. ~
