a Young Doctors Shrewdness.

A young physician relates that, being
called upon to attend a patient who, he
knew, would expect to see an elderly and
dignifed gentleman instead of a person
of almost boyish appearance, he took
with him an assistant, having given him
instructions always to address him as

most deferential way. This plan to win
his patients trust and respect succeeded

ROAD WORK.

In Honolulu proper comparatively
little road work has been done for
several weeks past. Inability to
prepare and transport the necessary
material to where it is needed for
use, in sufficient quantities, owing
to insufficiency or ineflfciency of the
machinery employed, is the cause.
But the amount of road work in the
district is not measured by what we
see right here in the city. In the
outlying portions of the district,
where other than the hard material
broken by crushing machine and
hauled by locomotive is used, con-
siderable road making has been ac-
complished. The Eva road from
Kalihikai to beyond the hill on the
Pearl Harbor side of Moanalua
Valley has been completed, and an
excellent road it now is. Work has
been in progress for good many
weeks on the Kalihi Valley road, be-
ginning near the Kamehameha
Schools. The Waialae road from
Moiliili to near Captain Ross's
ranch, distance of between two
and three miles, has also had consi-
derable attention. This thorough
fare was, and had been for many
years, in very rough condition,
even for horseback travel. 1t is now
good carriage road, over which
one can drive with ease and comfort.
The undertaking involved large
amount OF labor in removing large
rocks, building up the roadbed, etc.
Several other minor thoroughfares
have also been constructed outside
of Honolulu, for which those who
require to use them are truly CRATE
full. On the whole, perhaps the out
lying portions Of the district are bet
ter off in the matter of roads thar

My position has brought me in
contact with many nationalities, and
l have visited most countries in the
world with the exception of Asia,
the countries boarding the Mediter-
ranean ,and Africa, and have had
considerable to do with statistical
work, and l must say, that where
the standard of mans lifetime is
highest liquor is used. L do not
mean misused, as more than liquor
can be used to excess. If L, q
moderate user of liquor, die at 40
years of age, who dare say | would
have lived 10 years longer if had
not used it? And does Mr.. Horner
think that he alone, or his adher-
ents are infallible, and only knows
what is good for me?
will openly say, that my expert
ence shows me that prohibition
to superlative degree fosters hypo-
crisy. i have known and seen
hundreds of people who openly and
publicly said they practised total
abstinence, and secretly drank their
liquor. wonder who commits the
grave sin, one who drinks and says
so, or one who drinks on the sly,
and denies it?
Once on steamer ] heard a pro
hibition man give the steward 0
thorough scolding, because the
lunch was not good enough, and be-
cause he did not have this or that OF
the table. We had three courses
and everything was excellent. Tha
same man, in spite of his dissatis
faction, consumed as much as thre,
ordinary men. Now, 1 took m,
| glass of wine, of which had a small
pocket flask, ate a good meal, ant
was, contented. Who committed
sin, 1, who drank my wine, or he
who made his stomach his god?
i think the best the so-cailed pro
hibition party can do is to help Il
legislate against the abuse of liquor
and not to become obstructionists
teach the people the dangers of in
dulging too much, make them t
abhor the drunkard, but admit tina
liquor can be used legitimately.
AS it is not question of persons
but of principle, l will abstain frol
using such strong expressions an
words that very often Mr.. Horne
INDUCES in, and only invite him t
an exchange of ideas in way bt
coming gentlemen.

QUESTIONS TO Mr.. HORNER.

EDITOR BULLETIN: - Mr.. Y. M.
Horner is constantly demanding
prohibition, and advocating it early
and late. He must be admired for
the tenacity he shows and for the
amount of labor he performs as an
advocate of total prohibition. Now,
every man has perfect right TO ex-
press his views, but he must not
deny others the same liberty, and
there is where Mr. Horner goes too
far. OF course, he don't prohibit
me or anybody else from publishing
our opinion, but he denies us the
right to be heard, or in other words,
he is intolerant in the highest de-
gree. Whether that is consistent
with true Christianity or not, L
think need not be discussed. ] will
venture to ask Mr.. Horner the fol-
lowing questions:
/. Is the moderate and legiti-
mate use of liquors sin, and if SO,
where is the proof?
2. Am not entitled to be reck-
oned amongst the educated, honor
ed, reliable and respectable people,
because | drink my glass of beer or
wine at my dinner?
3. Have not the individual right
to do so, just as much as others
have the right of total abstinence I?
A. What is more despicable and
more sinful, the moderate use of
liquor or immoderate eating?
5. If my wife or my daughter can
and do drink wine, are they there
fore to be stunned, and considered
worthy of ostraclsmI

THE INSULAR TYPE OF CHARAC-
TER.

In the discussions going on in the
public prints about the state Of So
ciety, and the political future of
these islands, there is an element,
or factor in the problem, that has
not received the attention which its
Importance deserves. 1t is difficult
for any set or race of mon to free
themselves from the influences of
their environment. Much of the
fault-finding with certain disagree
able characteristics, altogether too
prominent in society and politics at
the Islands, may be traced to the
too common neglect to notice the
peculiar circumstances from amidst
which these influences and traits are
evolved. Yet is it not evident, on a
few moments consideration, that
much of the social and political
psculiarities of people here are at
tributable to an insular type of
character, an aggravated type OF
what are commonly called provin-
ciaI traits in distinction from metro
politan or cosmopolitan?
1t 80 happens that in the present
instance, as mere accidental
accessory, not as an essen
tial attribute, that the set of people
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1888-12-07

tics honof to us hnd this country
Is this the way to raise the esteem
of the Hawaiian Flag abroad?
Let us for once organise for the
common good, for the common
cause. Let us not consider whether
our neighbor is Yankee, Dutch,
Irish, Portuguese or what else. Let
the Hawaiian Flag, the Hawaiian
Kingdom and its welfare be our sole
aims
Let us go hand in hand. There
are many who are loud in their eX-
clamations against the Chinese, yet
they will not hesitate, for the sake
of few cents, to deal entirely with
Chinese and to pass their white
neighbor's door. The price of a
drink is willingly paid, yet to pay
10 cents to have a shirt washed, oh,
heavens sakel no, we can't afford
that! Fortunately there are not
many of this class here.
