MELE OF THE ALII.

Because we believe that it would be a good thing to print mele composed by our alii who loved mele, therefore, we have set aside a column of our precious for them to be published each day, and as for the flaws owing to the various states of memorization of those who share them with us, they are not to be attributed to us, for all we are doing is dispersing the mele and separate from us is the one to whom belonged the goodwill that was given freely for Ka Leo.
