Mr.. Hartley, in his address to the

is a marvellous institution. and one of
its great achievements was the temple
in Chicago the result of the great work
of Miss willard. He saw the necessity
of instructing the young in the schools
upon the evils of strong drink. Personal
information was what they needed. and
this would result in personal convictions.
He praised the quiet work of the Flower
Mission, and said IL went great ways

the world and what was not. The work

meetings were announced in the churches
and the work had become regular. The
name of the Anti Saloon League meant
only temperance society. II was moth

chief sin. and to use moral and legal
suasion to pr: "A stop to the traffic. 1t had
become known to him that the success OF
lintemperancc was the saloon and it
had become a question of saloons or no
saloons" There must be constant ngi-

people. that they may understand the
great curse and also the cure.
He mentioned the growing increase OF
the erection OF beer saloons. especially
in the localities where old-time traditions
were to the effect that they should never
be contaminated by the dram-shop One
of the traditions was that there should
never be saloon on the waterfront and

they easily succumb to temptation. They
cannot pass by without gazing into the
saloon. 1t is enough for the good wom-

of the law governing the opening of so

legislation. Every man and woman here
should aid in looking after legislation In
liquor matters. our great force is agi-

sentiment in order to successfully carry

Honolulu will say they want the saloons
closed they can be wiped out of exist
