VOICES OF HAWAII.

A Subscriber" living on Maui,
asks if President Mckinley has de-
liberately violated the Constitution
of the United States in suspending
the enforcement of the election
laws.
Whether he has or has not, is not
a vital question at present. 1t
might, however, become All import
ant question. if Congress refused to
legislate on Hawaiian matters dur
ing the next session. The prob
abilities are that the necessary leg
islation will be passed.
The Advertiser stated that by
Joint Resolution. the municipal
laws of Hawaii become laws of the
United States. and these laws re-
quire an election. There is no
power whatever given to the Pres
ident to suspend them, even if they
are useless. provided they do not
conflict with the Constitution or
the Resolution. AS no one claims
that they conflict, they are in force
apparently.-P. c. AdVertiser.

There is very little information
Forthcoming from the Philippines.
That more troops are urgently
needed, and that the executive de-
sires vigorous campaign which
shall end the war, are the only
items contained in the very meager
mention about the islands. A late
telegram states that General 10
seph Wheeler has been ordered to
the Philippines, and then proceeds
to speculate as to whether he is to
replace Otis. The ordinary COM
ment is that the United States
needs good fighters That is not
what the United States needs.
There is probably no more gallant
set of fighters upon earth, than
are now in the Philippines. What
is needed is a general who can
thoroughly grasp the situation, and
can use the fighting qualities OF his
officers and men to the best perma-
nent advantage. 1t is very evident
that Otis ability in this direction
is becoming doubtful. But upon
such points the present generation
is not likely to be enlightened.

He afterwad came to America and

daily papers and he was compelled
to seek other employment. Having
a fondness for the stage he took up
acting with considerable success.
He was with Waldorf company

them to Honolulu.
MIR. Dunn is enamored of Ha-
waii and his health and oversight

LIQUOR THE CAUSE OF 1T.
Mrs. Edholm Continues Her Talk on
"The Traffic in Girls"

Mrs. Charlton Edholm, the lecturer,
addressed large audience last night
in the Baptist church. Her subject
was the same as the one she talked
upon the evening before, Traffic in
Girls Mrs. Edholm told the story of
her own life and it was in itself very
interesting lecture. According to the
story, the lady has had experience
enough to eminently qualify her for
a lecturer on the subject she has chos-
en- to treat. Her husband was a vic
tim of the liquor traffic and he died
few years ago. Mrs. Edholm claims
that the only remedy for the evils
to which young girls are subjected is
the ballot box. She says once the
liquor traffic is abolished the primary
cause of the downfall of young girls
will be removed. She went on to give
illustrations of the effect of liquor
upon men, especially when they are
in the company of girls, and she also
dealt the cigarette a crushing blow.
THE people of this land said the
speaker, ARE spending s12,O0O,0O0 a
year to make drunkards who do not
care what becomes of their children.
The father, once drunk, forgets his OBJ
legations to his family and the result
is that the mother and children must
look out for themselves. The girl soon
tlnds herself in the workship or some
other place trying to earn living.
Temptations are one of the obstacles
she has to contend with and very otter
she is overcome by some powerful
agent of vice.
More than one-half of the fallen
girls come from Christian families.
Ask any of them and she will tell you
that she would rather be back again
with her parents, and that she came
to her present abode not of her own
will Truth Is they We're tempted to
the life they are leading, or they We're
stolen outright by men and women who
traffic in girls"
The speaker explained the methods
of procuring girls by the procurers
and PROGRESSES and interspersed the
narrative with interesting illustrations
as they had come under her observa-
ton.
She made the startling accusation
that the police system of every city
in the union. except those under pro-
hibition administrations, We're in part
nership with saloonkeepers and that
the saloonkeepers were doing a part
nership business with the traffickers in
girls. if not directly. then indirectly,
for the liquor traffic and the girl traf-
fic are bound by the strongest ties.
1.-THE ranks of rescue workers are
growing denser every day." said the
speaker, land when 100000 Christians
vote as they pray the liquor traffic
will be thing of the past"
Taking up her argument in another
phase, the speaker said: II speak rev.
erently when I say that Judas was not
such a traitor as the man who would
ruin the girl he had asked to be his
wife with the kiss of love and the sa-
cred promise Of marriage by sending
her down to a hell on earth"
