AT the ripe old age of over seventy
five, Mrs Mary e. Root passed away
last Friday week at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. q. Goidenburg. She
had been unwell for several days, but
no one fell any alarm al her symptoms.
Death came very suddenly, and before
those around her could realize what
was the matter, she bad breaihed her
last. The old lady was beloved by all
who knew her. In the homes of her
children she was q great comfort to
them, and in her declining years they
In turn threw around her the arms OF
affection and became the solace OF her
old age. Mrs Root was lady OF tue

PUBLIC OPINION.
MIR. EiIer Gives Reasons Why the
Nicholson Bill should Prevail.

MIR. EiIer Gives Reasons why the
choIs Bill Should Prevail.
To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
TIL Nicholson bill is right and should be
passed. The bluff and scare game played
ers with saloons is child's play. 1t is time
that such nonsense is Gone with. The pres
ent law cannot be enforced. I have a per-
sonal experience in trying to enforce the
law for a period of eleven years. and am
compelled to give it up as an Impossible
job. / care not how much a man may talk
favorably to enforcing the liquor law, If he
opposes the Nicholson bill his position is in
consistent and hypocritica1. 1t is like the
moralist and church member talking moral
iy and religion, and then voting for the
saloon candidates for office. Away with
such stuff. The only question that should
enter into the minds of our legislators is,
us it right and necessary. to restrain the
liquor traffic? If SO, will the Nicholson
bill reach the result?'@If so, vote for it.
I have no doubt but the majority of the
Legislature is in favor of this bill.
Politics should not enter into the ques-
ton. The lines that are being drawn do
not mark the line between parties, but as
between law and order on one hand, and
saloons, gambling hellS and all other
combined vicious elements. 1t Is not the
third party people here who favor this bill,
but Republicans and Democrats-people who
have trusted and waited long for relet ana
protection. If a party cannot sustain itself
in a good cause it should die In. a bad one.
/ therefore, as a lifelong Republican, voting
the Republican ticket from Lincoln to Har-
rison, ask the passage of the bill: There
are thousands of Republicans climbing into
the same boat in which ! am taking pass

Illegal Selling by Druggists.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Not a word is aid of the saloon-keeper
druggist in the Nicholson bill. The time
has come when something should be done
toward regulating the whisky traffic in the
drug stores. Why, doesn't the Legislature
compel those selling under a government
license to take out a State license, as they
have done in Pennsylvania, Kentucky and
other States? There is hardly a drug store
in this city selling whisky, and 80 per cent.
of them do, that does not violate the law.
1t is a notorious fact that they sell on
Sundays, holidays or any time desired by
the pint, half pint, drink, or any quantity
wanted, which is a clear violation of the
law, while the saloon keepers, who pay a
large license in support of the government,
State and county, are arrested and fined
every day for doing the same thing. The
metropolitan police force winks at all vio-
lations OF the liquor law outside of saloons.
This is wrong. What the licensed saloon
keeper needs is more protection from the
unlicensed drug stores and less legislation
from the lawmakers. A. d.

THE BOARDMAN BILL.
Covers Only a Few Points, but Pro-
hibits Wine Rooms.

hDlAS hoOAh
Mr.. B~oardman's bill, which he introduced
by request, is not so exhaustive in its treat
ment of the subject. 1t prohibits winerooms
and makes it Unlawful for brewers to take
out licenses in other peoples names. but
allows the transfer of licenses.
The bill provides that it shall be unlawful
for any person holding a liquor license
to establish or allow a wineroom to be OPP
Grated in connection with his place of 0usi-
ness. A wineroom is defined as a place
where people of immoral character are en-
couraged to meet and associate with others
of the same class, or with those who may
chance to frequent such a place. The PEN
atty for a violation OF this section is a fine
of not more than $500 nor less than $50. The
bill also provides that saloons may be kept
open until IL o'clock p. m. in cities with a
population of 1900 Inhabitants or over.
County Commissioner may permit the ven
dee or legal representative of a license
holder. VINO may die, sell or assign his
business TO carry on the business; provided,
he be found TO be a proper person.
The bill further provides that manufac-
turers or wholesale dealers in intoxicating
liquors shall not be allowed to take out q
Incense to retail liquor unless that person
shall personally conduct such business. The
penalty in this case is not more than $500
nor less than $50 fine. This section. also,
auplies TO cities of 5000 or over, and shall
not affect the validity of any contract
made before the passage of the act.
No person shall sell or give away any
spirituous. vinous or malt liquors in less
quantity than u quart, nor allow the same
to he drunk on the premises where sold
unless the person has secured a license as
required by the laws OF the State. The
act repeais all laws or parts ct laws in
conflict with itself, ard decuares that. ow-
ing to an existing emergency, the bill shall
be in force Immediately upon its passage.

Many people along the front have

displayed by the Halls commander.
When the steamer comes into port he
can be seen on the upper deck with a
cigar in his mouth and his right hand
on the engineers bell. He brings the
steamer up to the wharf and gets her
alongside with as much ease as cox
swain would land q gig. He is thor
oughly acquainted with this port and
sl1 others along the Kona coast of
Hawaii. AS is well known, his YES
sci plies between here and Punaluu.
Captain Simerson was born thirty
eight years ago at Napoopoo, South
Kona, Hawaii. When he was eight
years of age his parents moved to
Maui, where he attended school for
about four years. He went to sea first
when he was about seventeen
years of age: he sailed before
the mast. He was an in
quisiive youth and the captain of
the schooner took enough interest in
the lad 20 teach him navigation. The
young sailor, after years time, was
made mate and four years later he
wss capable of running vessel him
self. He was then made captain of
the schooner Jennie" He after
wards took charge of both the schoop.
ers Prince and Liholiho.
After q time Simerson was given
the position of purser on the steamer
Iwalani. He occupied similar posi-
ton on the Planter and later when
the W. @. Hall arrived fresh from the
shipysrd he was placed in charge of
the purser's Office. He acted in that
capacity until he was made captain.
He was considered a most obliging
purser and was well-liked by all pas
sengers who travelled on the boat. He
enjoys as much popularity at present.
Captain Simsrson is married man
and has three children, the eldest of
whom is now IL years Of age. His
family lives in town.
The steamer w. G. Hall was built
in 1884 by Hall Brothers. She was
named after one of the builders. She
has been running to Punaluu since
her advent in Hawaiian waters. She
is considered staunch craft and is
popular with travellers. She will soon
be fitted out with an incandecsent
system. Then she will compare fav-
orably with any island steamer leav-
ing this port.
