The boys in the first class were examined by
the Principal in her presence on Natural

She expressed herself as being greatly salts

requirements in singing and recitation,
which appeared to gr tify her.

tions to the granting Of the licenses referred
to. AS for local option, he did not think
there was any provision made for holding an
election to determine the question. He was
satisfied that the granting Of liquor licenses
for the outer districts would work MUIR
iously. He did not think the licensees
would be able to check Illicit sales. In most
cases they would be likely to carry on their
bushes in such q manner as to lay them
selves open TO punishment under the exist
ing laws, and would not, therefore, dare to
prosecute the Illicit dealers. He was not at
all sure that any increased net income would
be derived by the Government through the
license fees.
CHIEF JUSTICE A. f. JUDD
Was waited upon at his residence. He
courteously received the representative of
the ADVERTISER, who briefly explained the
object Of his visit. He was asked at the
outset what provision was made for carry
ing out the principle of local option in the
granting of spirit licenses. The Chief JUS
tice said that the Minister Of the Interior
was authorized by law to issue the proposed
licenses under such rules and conditions as
might be established by the Privy Council.
As member of that body, he (the Chief
Justice) endeavored to procure the passage
of a rule to the effect that no license should
be issued for any district where three-fourths
of the property holders objected, but it
failed to pass. The only new rule that was
made was that no licensed liquor house
should be loca ted within 600 feet of a school
house or church. The Chief Justice then
said: My experience Of over twenty years
as an attorney-at-law and judge in this king
dom has convinced me that the theory that
the liquor dealers will act effectively as
police is a false one. I do not know of an
instance where conviction has been had on
the evidence of liquor dealer. This is due
to two causes. First: The liquor dealers
thrive, and sell more in the community
where the use of intoxicants is prevalent,
and where public sentiment is not opposed
TO it. Illicit sales develop the appetite for
strong drink, and, as a consequence, more
custom comes to the regular dealers.
Second: Under the strict license law now in
force, majority of the liquor vendors have
laid themselves open to prosecution, and if
they should inform on others it would pro-
woke retaliation.
Our native community are very easily
influenced, and just now, in good many
localities Wailuku, for instance-ther is a
very good state of affairs, and very little in
temperance. 1t would be a great pity to
give the weak an opportunity for indulging
openly an appetite which is now suppressed.

his courtesy, and withdrew.

MIR. JOSEPH HYMAN,

OF the firm of Hyman Bros, said that he
had thought great deal on the subject. He
was of the opinion that the licensees would
was sure to kill the natives, and they were
bound to use it if they could set it. Mr..
Hyman did not think the licenses could
possibly control the sale of liquor in any
district. The law was powerless to stop it
now, and it would be no more effective if
invoked by licensed dealer. There were
quantities of liquor now sent into the outer
districts of which nobody outside the trade
knew anything. At one auction sale alone
in Honolulu not long since, some $500 cases
of liquor were disposed of, but not more
than 500 cases were sold to licensed dealers.
He could not ascertain that any effort was
made by the authorities to find out what be-
came of the other 1000 cases.
Mr.. Hyman considered local option to be
was sound on this question. In regard to
issuing license for Kahului, he was of the
opinion that it would be bad place at
which to establish a spirit shop. 1t was
sufficiently out Of the way to induce people
from the towns near by to resort there for
drink that would be ashamed to be seen
indulging by their friends and families
He hoped the Government would consider
the subject carefully. The revenue would
not be increased by the issuance of the
licenses, and as financial measure it would
prove failure.
MR.. GODFREY RHODES
Stated that while he did not care to be in
terviewed, and should prefer not to discuss
the subject, still he would say that he
thought the sale of licenses would not ma
terially increase the sale of liquor. On the
contrary, he thought that on this island
Oahu-the illicit traffic would be checked, if

MR.. H. F. GLADE,

OF the firm of H. HackfeId & Co., was ra ther
favorably disposed to the granting of the
licenses proposed. He thought that such
action would enable the Government to
control the sale of liquor in greater degree
than at present. The whites and natives
have now as much as they want; the only
difference the licenses would make would be
that the sale in the outer districts would be
legal, which it is not now. The licensees
would keep sharp look out, and check the
illicit trade As it is now, the consumption
of alcohol (pure spirits) is steadily increas-
ing. lit is bought for q medicinal" pur-
poses but is largely used, after boiling over
with sugar, as drink. The remedy for this
would be to raise the duty on it. L is now
too low. In some localities, such as Koloa,
Kauai, it is very wet, and men must have
liquor. A very large trade in liquor is now
done by Cinnamon in Kilauea and Hanalei,
Kauai-the larger part in the former place,

MR.. W. L. GREEN

Thought that the raising of the tabu on
liquor, so that the natives could get what
they wanted, was helping them off quite fast
enough. The granting of licenses for other
districts would simply still further hasten
their extinction.
He said: ''There are no liquor shops needed
in the plantation districts. Every planter
has expressed his wish to have the whole
business stopped. Now that, under the
present law, the native can get all the liquor
he wants, I do not think the matter of
granting licenses to outer districts of any
great Importance. The natives have behaved
remarkably we'll under their new privileges !;
but the effect of giving them free liquor is,
and will be, disas trous."

ance of licenses and local. option, expressed
similar opinions to those held by Mr.. Jones.
He spoke very approyingly of the attitude
taken by the PACIFIC COMMERCIAL ADyEB-
User on this and other questions of public
interest. His judgment was that every
body must feel convinced that the natives
were injured more and more by the increase
Of facilities for procuring liquor. He knew,
as did many others, of young Hawaiians in
particular, who were influenced by the de-
sire to be considered on an equality in re-
spect Of drinking, as in other respects, with
foreigners. He would regret very much the
granting of any license in the outer dis
tricts.
MR.. T. H. DAVIES
Expressed himself very decidedly upon the
subject of licensing the sale of liquor to
natives. He was of the opinion that the ma
tive element must be considered out of the
race for existence in these islands it, in
their struggle to hold their own, they were to
be Handicapped with free liquor. He had let
tiers from correspondent on Hawaii, who
had lived for many years among the natives,
and made their welfare his especial study.
future of the Hawaiians would be hopeless if
the sale of liquor to them were licensed.
They were unable to withstand the tempta-
ton to get drunk if the opportunity were
offered them. Mr.. Davies said he was not
what might be called total prohibitionist,
but he would make any sacrifice of his own
tastes and opinions that might be needed to
bring about the abolition in toto of the
liquor traffic in these islands.
In reply to questions touching local OPP
ton he said he favored it as long as it was
inteIhgently expressed. He did not believe
in mob-option, however, as that would en-
able the votes of some hundreds of ignorant,
unthinking people to swamp the votes of
those who represent what was good and
sound in each community.
MR.. W. G. IRWIN
Said, in a short interview with him, that he
had not given the subject Of licenses or no
licenses, local option or total prohibition,
much thought; but he was inclined to be-
lieve If licenses we're given to the proper
parties-men who had proper sense of the
moral responsibilities resting upon them
they might not be a bad thing. If they
were sold to Cinnamon or irresponsible
white men they would do much harm.
COLONEL CLAUS sPRECKELs
Objected strongly to license being given
for Kahului. 1t was too near Spreckelsville,
with great fields of cane and extensive and
valuable buildings to be exposed to fire
starting from the pipe or match of some
drunken hummer. The men employed at
SpreckelsVille could be kept under good
control, but at Kahului there were plenty of
sailors and tramps and as there was no
water at either place in sufficient quantity
to put out fire, once started, he should be
decidedly against any further facilities being
given for people getting drunk and endan-
gering property.
