LEGAL HAIR-SPLITTING

OF course lawyers are a necessary evil, but sometimes they do not
even seem necessary. For instance: If it were not for the lawyers,
who would care a rap whether or not Charlie Lake filed his nomination
papers with the territorial secretary, the county clerk, the United States
supreme court or with the county dog-catcher, just SO long as the
voters could be assured that he was really a candidate and wanted to
be elected.
The legislature, of course neglected to make the law on special
county elections clear, but to a mar up a tree the oversight seems to
be nothing serious. OF course, however, if the lawyers are not satisfied
with the procedure the way might be opened for all kinds of future
trouble. And all over a mole-hil that could not possibly cast a
shadow OF doubt as to the integrity of any ones intentions. Incident
ally the public, of course, foos the bills. incidentally also, the lawyers
cannot agree as to just how the splitting of this particula~ legal hair
should be done.
Betting in New York is said to be 2 to that Harding will be
elected. Since the convention in Il Honolulu on Monday we understand
that odds on the delegateship is 2 to that McCandless will defeat
Kuhio this fall.

impossible and will not be counten-
anced by men who believe in a square
deal, honesty in public life and a
business-like constructive, forward
looking administration of the affairs of
government.
The territorial committee named
yesterday cannot pilot the Republican
party in Hawaii for the very simple
reason that it does not represent it.
Maui has already declared its indie
pendence of the committee, at least
one of the other outlying islands prob
| ably will do the same, and there are
strong indications of a revolt on
Oahu, particularly in the fifth district,
! against the present putrid state of af-
fairs.
The real Republicans of Hawaii will
continue to speak for the real Re
publican party of Hawaii. And their
voice will be heard in the councils
that will make the final decisions.
Politics for patronage cannot prevail
against politics for public service.
There must be an end of Darkroom
ljobbery, questionable deals, bipartisan
trades; an end to c%hicanery generally.
Outraged public opinion has started
a long overdue political houseclean-
ing in Hawaii; let's make a thorough
job of it.
1t will be interesting to watch the
developments of the next few days.
The political tricksters have gone too
far. hey have overreached them
selves, and they know it. They have
got to come through and play the
game on the square with a new Zeal
in sheer self protection.
The platform adopted by the con-
vention yesterday is not Objectionable.
In fact, ON the whole, it is a rather
constructive document.
1t is, however, rather surprising to
read a plank on public lands which
amounts to virtual reputation of
Delegate Kuhio and his rehabilitation
bill, although elsewhere we find a
sweeping Endorsement of his works
and a pledge to support him for re-
election. 1t appears that the dele
gate was given a hearty slap on the
back, followed by a mildly camou-
flaged kick in the ribs. However, If
the delegatA satisfied no n else
should complain.
We also find two other planks, one
indorsing suffrage n re
gretting'' it's defeat at the last session
of the legislature, the other declaring
for abolition of the foreign language
schools. At least one of the platform
carpenters must be a practical joker.
Woman suffrage was beaten in the
legislature by the political combina-
ton which put across the deal" yes
terday, and many of the men sitting
in the convention cast their votes
against suppression of the foreign Ian
guage schools when they voted on
that issue as members of the house
/, and senate.

Secretary of State issues Oaicia Proclamation When Antis Get
 Adverse Ruling.
(By nited Press)

Washington, Aug. 26.-The right of women to the ballot was made a part of the United States constitu- tion today when Secretary of State Colby proclaimed the nineteenth amendment ratified and in effect. II s action followed the refusal of the Dis trict of Columbia supreme court to issue an injunction restraining him from issuing the proclamation.
 Secretary Colby announced the is suance of the proclamation shortly after arriving at his office ths morn ing. It was signed at his residence.
 A group of suffrage enthusiasts keeping silent vigil at the state de partment, were summoned soon af- ter Secretary Colby arrived. They cheered loudly when told that the proclamation had been issued and that the amendment is now operative.
 After the fight before the District of Columbia court had been lost, the American Constitutional League. which brought the suit, announced that no further Agitation would be instituted to prevent issuance of the proclamation by Secretary Colby. h. stead, the league will try to obtain an early hearing by the United States supreme courk on the validity of rat ification by Tennessee, the thirty sivth state to ratify the amendment. The league will ask that the case be dismissed from the District of Co., lumbia supreme court in order to ap- peal immediately to the District ot Columbia court of appeals, iron which it is hoped the case may be talk en directly to the United States su- preme court.

BERLIN SAYS RUSSIA NOT ALTER ARMIGTICE
(By United Press)

Berlin. Aug. 26.-Soviet Russia has so far refused to modify armistice terms offered to Poland, according to unofficial adviees today from Minsk.
 Despite the military reversals which the soviet armies have suffered as result of the counter offensive, dis patches state that the Bolshivik armis- tice delegation still maintains it's air of being master of the situation and in position to dictate terms of peace.
 Apparently credible reports from Minsk say that the Bolshevik mission has declined to make any modification of peace terms as long as Poland is aided by France, which is supplying the bigger part of munitions and sup plies used by the Polish army.

MURDER PUZZLES.
 NEW YORK POLICE
CRv Uuftar pressO

New York, Aug. 26.-A new identi- fication was today made of the young woman's body found on the New Jersey palisades across the Hudson from Riverside. At Hackensack police headquarters a woman claiming to be sister of the victim, appeared and identified the body as that of Mrs. Blanche Schultz, 21, of New York. Marks of Identification claimed were five diamond rings found upon the fingers of the murdered woman. She also said her sister carried $500 in money when she left New York on Sunday, the day of the supposed mur- der.
 Detectives working on the mystery hold to the theory that the woman was dragged from an automobile and mur- dered. The identification made today was not accepted as final.

RUSS PARTLY ALTER POLISH
 PEACE TERMS
(By United Press)


 London, Aug. 2G.-Replying to the joint note by England and Italy de manding modification of armistice terms, Russia today offered to waive ans arnist.ce terms proposed at Ansk and not included n the origin al digest of peace stinulat.ors submit ted to Premier Lloyd George before negotiations were undertaken.
 The general tone of the Bolsheviki not was conciliatory. It waived ac- eeptance of the proposal for Russian civil and military supremacy over Po- land and also backed down on demands of disarmament of Polish forces. How ever, it insists that Poland make an honest bid for peace, and contains an expression of regret over the inter- ruption of armistice negotiations at Minsk.

cry BONDS 70
A75;P PAR $500


In order to overcome the slug
rish condition Of the bond market
on municipal securities the Rock
Island city commissioners Monday
afternoon voted to place on sale 70
storm drain bonds Of $500 denomi-
nations at five points off, or SIS on
each bond. The bonds are . part Ut
the $4,000 issue voted Aug. 10.
1919. for completion Of the Six
teenth avenue storm drain.
There were $50 Of the bonds, II
OF which have been sold or spoken
for at $3.50. The bonds have been
sold over the counter for the last
two months. There have been no
sales for some days and in order TO
sell the remaining 70 bonds to
gain cash needed to pay bills on the
big drain the commissioners de-
cided that a further reduction
would have to be made to offer an
incentive for quick action.
Bewail Loss Of Value.
The commissioners bewafled the
loss of value of municipal securi-
ties, 1t was recalled that not long
ago municipal bonds were deemed
by purchasers as medium for gilt
edged investments not to be ex-
celled on the market.
However, it was announced thai
as public utility corporations have
been guaranteed as high as 8 pei
cents on their investments the Sc
curities of these corporations are
now taking the limelight with :
high rate of interest to be col
lected by the purchasers of these
securities. The storm drain bonds
pay per cent and will now sci
for $475 plus accrued interest.
