1--WE need law against the giving
away Of liquor. We ought 10 have a
law preventing the granting a license
In connection with any bro.hel. The COM
ditions in this state in this respect are
something terrible. We need also a law
prohibiting the selling of liquor on hon-
days and a law regulating the num-
ber OF licenses. We have discovered
that there are as many as 300 men who
hold Federal licenses in this state, and
are selling liquor without taking out

ought to have a law utterly banishing
the traffic from the state. Above all
things we need a better enforcement OF
the laws which we have. In some cases

understanding that they will protect
the sai1on interest.

The Mortal Remains of the Late
Judge Widemann Buried with
Honors
There was scarcely vacant seat
in the Roman Catholic Cathedral
yesterday afternoon at the funeral
functions of the late Hermann A.
Widemann, and the congregation
assembled was thoroughly represen-
tative of the high esteem and regard
in which the distinguished deceased
was held by all classes and creeds in
the community.
Among those gathered there were
the President and Cabinet Ministers,
the Diplomatic and Consular Corps,
the Judiciary and the Bar, learned
professors, prominent merchants and
clergy and large number OF the
Hawaiians whom the dead dearly
loved, but who, for some inexplica-
BILE reason we're not represented
among the pail bearers.
The services were most impressive
and the floral emblems appropriate
and lovely; among the most notice
able being CROSS OF carnations pre-
sented by the bar of Hawaii, OF
which the deceased was the senior
member, and Hawaiian flag don.

The attendance at the grave was

names of the pail bearers were pub

offices, the banks and nearly every
Wholesale and retail business house
and even several OF the saloons, Were
closed during the hours of the fune
raj service.

that few men have ever been re
