ing new in this suggestion, as it
is but returning TO the rule
adopted bv the board nj control
under Governor TiIlman's admin
istration. There is no reason
why the name or brand of the
house rom which the liquor is
bought should appear upon the
bottle. The dispenSarv law was
not adopted for the purpose of
advertising liquor houses Pro-
hihit the appearance of these
private brands and names of
liquor houses upon dispensary
bottles entirely and you viii
thereby prevent dishonest COM
missioners and dispensers from
boosting and creating demands
for the liquors of particular
houses.
My object in writing this letter
is to expose the fallacv of the
argument Of the enemi. S of the
dispensarv that because some OF
its officials have done wrong
that, therefore. the wholc system
is rotten AMI corrupt and that
it should he abolished, whereas
the facts show that the morals OF
our people have been improved
under the m>pcnsarv law and
that to repeal il would 'c retro
grading to The old barroom, which
was the bane of the state. | be-
lieve the dispensary will stand
the storms of the future just as
it has weaihered those of the
past, and that safeguards will be
thrown around its MANAGEMENT
that will prevent the recurrence
of the scandals referred to.

WEATHER YESTERDAY.
sLANDERING HAWAII.

The wild and reckless stories con-
cerning physical defects among school
children to which the irresponsible
Advertiser has given currency were
properly condemned by the board of
health yesterday. Instead OF hun.
dreds Of children being denied health
certificates, DR.. Howard, the health Of
fcer. says there will not be exceedias
eight or ten in the whole enrollmen.,
now reaching $500.
The members OF the board OF health
we're q unit in declaring that such
stories were calculated to do inestim-
able harm abroad and had tendency
to frighten newcomers and induce them
TO keep their children out of the
schools.
1t is abroad. however, and such ex-
aggerated and untruthful stories do the
greatest injury, as the anti-annexa-
Zionist newspapers VIII take IL up ds
demonstrating that this is a disease
ridden and disease-breeding country,
when, as a matter OF fact. it is most
healthful and very balm to many
chronic complaints.
The Republican is pleased to be able
today TO show the untruthfuiness OF the
Advertisers wild story OF yesterday
by the statements of DR.. Howard, the
health officer charged with the exam
ination OF the children in the public
schools. Tourists and intending immi-
grants will thus receive the best pos
sible antidote to the Advertiser g
maleYolent yoison.

ONLY ENGLISH LANGUAGE
WILL BE ALLOWED.

The sophistry OF the independent
home rule party in their conception OF
what is meant by that section OF the
Organic Act which says: All legisla-
tive proceedings shall be conducted in
the English language, would be anus
ing were it not SO serious. When con-
gress inserted this provision in the
Organic Act 1t meant just what 1t said,
and that is that all proceedings, mean
ing that ali speeches, and everything
whatever done in the legislative halls,
while the legislature is in session, shall
be said and done in the English Ian
guage.
The meaning Of the word proceed
ing" as given by the authorities on the
English language is: Action contem-
plated as in process or with reference
to its successive steps; process of move
ment from one thing to another; trans
action; measure; step" Speeches with
in the halls OF legislature upon sub
jects before the body are just as much
part of the proceedings as the keeping
OF the journal or the electing of q
speaker at the opening Of the session.
The very object Of that section Of the
Organic Act was to do away with an in
terpreter such as had been employed in
Hawaii under the Republic.
Again, let US take the word conduct
ed" and find out its meaning. Used
in the sense II is used here its meaning
is given as ito carry on" or course
every man who understands the Eng
lish language and knows anything OF
American customs knows full well that
in inserting that clause in Section ~
Of the Organic Act, congress meant Just
what it said, that "all legislative pro-
ceedings (transactions) shall be con-
Quoted carried on) In the English lan-
guage:" but for the benefit Of those
Independents whose knowledge OF the
English language 10 limited The Re-
publican makes this explanation II
they were to attempt to conduct legis-
lature on the plans they propose the
legislature would be dissolved BY the
courts in very short order
Even legislatures cannot rise shove
the law which created them.

Judge Humphreys evidently speaks
from first hand knowledge, which.
think, the Star does not, and it is no.
SO long ago that the paper in question
took quite hand in turning down a
district magistrate who has too long
presided In the southernmost section
OF Hawaii. Not satisfied with threats
against the denomination Of Waipui-
lani, the evening sheet proceeded, and
properly. to generalize on the paucity
Of intelligence displayed by district
magistrates in general.
These men are public servants and,
while feeding at the public manger,
must expect that the horse fly of puD-
lie opinion will fasten its sting in their
official anatomy. We want more out

Some magistrates drink to excess and
are seen in their sections in maudlin
or worse state, and not a few have
been dismissed for cause; others have
been taken to task by newspapers pub

him.
Magistrates. as rule, are not looked

paid them are poor, and it's a case OF

number of petty appeals which would

DUTY OF REPUBLICANS.

While the selection OF a man for
delegate TO congress is most important.
of even greater importance at this
time is the selection OF men for meUi-
bers OF the First legislature of Hawai-.
Mattes are so shaping themselves that.
10 the Intelligent observer, 1t is alresdy
apparent that the contest for suprem-
acy in the legislature is to be between
the republicans and the independent
home rule party. led by Robert w. Will
cox. The democrats are practically
without organization over the territory
and 1t is now toe late for them to per-
feet an effective organization Tor this
campaign. The independents are ex-
eeedingly well organized; in fact they
have the best organization, machine. If
you please, in the territory. The re-
publican party is also well organized,
but much OF the detail work Of the
campaign has been neglected How
ever, this can be made up by energetic
work from now on until election day.
Being q new territory OF the Ameri-
can Union. there are many and onerous
duties devolving upon the members OF
the frst territorial legislature. Many
Of the present laws need revision 10
conform TO the new conditions Modi-
fcations OF the criminal laws must
come so that petty offenders win not
be sent 10 a penitentiary by district
magistrate. intermediate prisons for
petty offenders must be established.
County governments for the various
islands must be provided. Municipal
government must be given considers
ton and even II il is not granted at
the coming session, commission must
be appointed by the legislature 10
frame q form OF city government for
Honolulu. These are subjects that the
legislature cannot SET away from. How
important 1t is. therefore. that the leg
islature be composed OF the foremost
men OF the territory; men OF broad
experience in public Affairs: men Of the
highest intelligence, and men who can
rise above petty factionalism and work
for the greatest good Of the greatest
number.
With the exception OF the two dis
tricts on the island OF Oahu the inds-
pendents have made their nominations
for the legislature. While they are In
the main good men. they are not mea
of sufficient experience IN public sf-
fairs 10 nt them for the very important
duties which win tall upon the mem-
bers Of the nrst territorial legislature
of Hawaii. In selecting its candidates
the republican party must not Be
guided by factions or personAl intsrss-
Il must nominate clean men. man Of
the highest standing in the territory:
men who win command the respect of
every voter. Il cannot AFFORD to. and
must not, nominate any candidate -
