While the committee maintained a very friendly attitude toward the school department and showed a general appreciation of its needs, the items in the school budget were carefully scrutinized to meet the insistent demands of economy.

alien. However, it seems that the Germans have forgotten one little point. They have more than Mr, Wilson to deal with. The President may be flattered by the weight they attach to his Fourteen Points, but between him and the German foreign office there is a lion in the way. The lion is Marshal Foch, ho achieved some notoriety not long ago for making the world unsafe for Germans anywhere in the neighborhood of the Western Front.

Tavares moved to defer so that other resolutions on the same subject could be taken up. Holstein took the floor and the resolution was deferred to the 8th. Under unanimous consent Holstein read typewritten statement on Paxson. Rawlins wanted to know what right the house had to interfere in the work of the senate on confirmation.

BETRAYAL of the voters of the Territory and cynical disregard of promises is only, what might be expected of the gang that yesterday, in defiance of every consideration of decency, in contemptuous flouting of public opinion and in treacherous betrayal of a fellow member who was so unwise as to trust them, killed the woman suffrage bill.

Had the action been taken as the result of sober consideration, in the belief of the' legislators that they were doing their duty, it would not be open to criticism except as to its wisdom. But it was not so taken. It was taken for political reasons. The woman suffrage bill was killed at the behest of the political gangsters who manipulate the government of the City and County of Honolulu for their own profit and who have the support of every crook, every professional gambler, every vicious element in the city. The woman suffrage bill was killed, but woman suffrage was not killed.

The women have not been given the right to vote "but not even the city seems to be almost as effective as a peace maker as if he had indited that remarkable document, doesn't care a hang "what the German foreign office wants. If the German delegates refuse to sign the peace treaty dictated by the Allies, he's going to forget all about the armistice and take up the war where he was compelled, by Mr. Wilson's diplomatic blunder, to lay it down before he had completed the job on which he was so well started. It is hardly going too far to suggest' that the Germans are liable to pay considerably more attention to Marshal Foch in that case than to the sacred Fourteen Points. Dinner Dance Tonigfc Training New Teachers Chairman Lewis wanted to know what the difference between the normal certificates and the normal diploma was.

Mr. Wood said the holders of the latter had to take algebra and geometry in addition to the rest of the curriculum. Considerable discussion developed as to whether this meant a higher grade of teacher or not, Lewis holding tnat the studies were basle and the principal maintaining that many of the best teachers were not gifted with mathematics and that reasoning powers were developed in other studies. Lyman also took a hand in the debate and Tavares claimed that these studies were not necessary to turn out a fine grade of teachers for the country schools. Two Classes Supplied Lewis pressed his point as to whether or not the requirement for any normal certificate should include the the printing committee.

Ad Club Helps Hawaii A letter from the Honolulu Ad Club regarding the proposed Volcano road, favored the building of the highway as a territorial matter. A petition of Japanese residents- opposing the school bill was referred to the education committee. The senate notified the house of the passage with amendments of It. B. 134 relating to the labor of pupils of industrial school.

Tavares said the idea of the bill was to allow the children to earn and to give them something to look forward to When they got out of the schools. The house concurred in the senate amendments. A notice from the senate also transmitted H. B. 27 -with amendments in which the house concurred.

H. B. 93 was also returned with amendments. This is a divorce measure and the house concurred. Moana Hotel dinner dance this evf ning from 7 to 8:30 o'clock.

Another batch of Japanese petition from Hawaii went to the education I committee. i After Ions debate, the house nassed on second reading the Jarrett-Andrews plebiscite bill, (II.

This brought an admission from Superintendent Mac-Oaughey and from the others that the question was one of sheer supply and demaud that the growth of the territorial schools forced the department to the present standards in order to get a supply of qualified teachers, the placed on the calendar for today. Following this action Kupihea moved reconsideration of the action of the house in deferring the suffrage bill (8. B.

17. The senate then sent notice of the passage, unameuded, of II. B. 76. The report of the printing committee was read and filed.

Silva presented a batch of Japanese petitions which went to the education committee. Andrews asked when the foreign language school bills were to be reported. Chairman Lyman said a by following whose counsels the board got itself all snarled up in the Belt Road tangle, has discovered a Conspiracy. But the public need not feel alarm. Mr.

Cristy, though callow, is. energetic, and he is following hard oh the trail of the conspirators. It he has luck and doesn't step on his own feet in his eagerness, he may run them to earth. Mr. Cristy, wrfOse knowledge of law is unique, has dug up a statute somewhere which, he seems-to be persuaded, makes it lese majesty, or perhaps the harboring of "dangerous thoughts" for anybody to criticise an opinion that he has rendered.

To do so, it appears, constitutes the heinous crime of "wilfully obstructing the public legislation, or Have Your EfM Examined asking the federal government for the public hearing was planned for next week but petitions still coming in leprosarium and it was sent to the higher, requirement for the normal diploma providing a select class of better qualified teachers for the most responsible positions.

And when members of the house of representatives are again elected, the women should go to the polls and work for the defeat of every one of the fifteen members who yesterday demonstrated that they are not fit to be trusted with the, law making power of the Territory.

The county committee reported favorably on S. B. 39 relating to municipal government in the City and County of Honolulu, better koj-wn as the charter revision.

It would allow a man who misunderstands an owner of a fishing right in his orders for him to get off, to prosecute owner. Andrews felt the argument not good and said many shore owners were bluffing fishermen into au idea that they could not fish in front of their property. Lyman said that fishing rights were in existence and care should be taken to protect these. Andrade said he felt that the bill would be a license to poachers to trespass.

The disappointment of the women at being turned down this time must be keen, but it snould only nerve them to more vigorous efforts and stronger determination.

They know that they have the decent and intelligent element of the community behind them. It is well that this statute has been dragged out into the light and given an airing, otherwise somebody might at some time make the fatal mistake of suggesting that young Mr. Cristy might just possibly be almost as mistaken in his interpretation of law as he has been on one or two occasions when he has advised the board of supervisors to take action similar to that which led to the indictment and conviction of the Hilo Mr. Cristy is exceedingly annoyed because The Advertiser published an article to the effect that unless the board of supervisors complied with the law, the legislature would refuse to give it. the half million dollar appropriation it is asking for for the Belt Road.

Mr. Cristy 's annoyance is entirely justified, since it is he who advised the board to take mayor and supervisors and favored the four year terms proposed.

HOUSE NOTES s- i vr A I PASSING HOUR I What's Back of It? TflE action of. the board of supervisors last night in accepting the tender of one of the contractors to construct the Belt Road, in the face of a certain law suit if they did so, and in defiance of a warning by the" legislature that such action on their part would inevitably result in refusal of the legislature to give the city the half million dollars Belt Road appropriation asked for, is amazing and I'most incredible. The members of the board, with the exception of Supervisors Hollinger and Ahia, who refused to countenance such an extraordinary action, have taken a step that threatens to cost the city dear. They have almost certainly tied the Belt Road up in a legal snarl that may take years to unravel. They have cut the city off from hope of securing from the legislature the money it must have to build more than a few miles of the road.

And they have awarded a contract that they have been told by competent lawyers they have no right to award. Moreover, the specifications have been challenged by contractors and engineers of ability as being faulty and improperly drawn.

Rawlins wanted to put in a minority report and the bill went over to Thursday. The committee favored S. C. R. 8, asking congress for a one year residence law for federal appointees and the house adopted the resolution.

The health committee reported favorably on H. B. 113, the driving penalty bill, with the elimination of an amendment, to make the driving of a licensed vehicle by any person prima facie evidence of the use of the vehicle for the purpose for which it is licensed. The house passed the bill without the amendment. Doctor For Kalaupapa The same committee, renorted fnvnr- That was some joke George Creel played on himself.
