as if tradesmen, and in short, IL you
please, all other lines of business than
the liquor traffic, should be friendly to
the temperance cause. And they are to a
certain extent, for listen to the protests
that come from here and there
The Honolulu Iron Works Company
Iprotests against the establishment of sa-
looms near its works. 1t too well knows
the effect upon their men.
| The officials of the Rapid Transit Com
pany protest even at the suggestion of
saloon opposite their power house.
| Railroad companies openly avow their
purpose to employ no person who drinks.
| Laws are made holding OF the liquor
traffic at certain distances from schools
and churches, which laws in themselves
are in measure standing protests
against the evils of the business.
But in spite of these laws, the Star
| saloon plants itself almost at the very
entrance of the Kamehameha schools,
becoming danger point to the Hawaiian
youth there attending.
Families protest at the gradual demon
alization and ruin of the husband and
father, who may be a man of marked
business ability, and whose ruin becomes
I real loss to the business community.
Whole communities protest, and the sa-
loon power itself enters upon no open
defense of its business. realizing that to
defend but affords opportunity to its foes
and intensifes opposition.
Listen to a prophecy from the prohi-
bftfon State, Kansas. We quote an ex-
tract from the Leavenworth Times. as
reprinted Jan. 10, 1902 go days ago) in
the Olathe News-Herald:
1.-The day is coming when mighty few
men will drink. Prohibition won't make
the change, but the demands OF business
will Railroads will not employ any men
from section hand to the president of
the company who is known TO take a
drink of liquor Their services are not
wanted. Corporations of all kinds are
drawing the lines between drinking men
and abstainers tighter every day. In
surance companies are Issuing better poll
icies to abstainers than to men who
drink. The demand of business will bring
about a temperate lot of men. Prohibi-
tory laws cut mighty little ice. But the
man who is a dru1kard already should
be protected against himself and the
best way to do that is to punish so Sc
verely the man who sells or gives him
liquor that the crime will not again be
repeated
Born of experience, they say. "Prohi-
bition won't make the change, but the
demands of business will" 1.-The de-
mands of business WILL
We conclude: Only one safe principle
has been discovered, viz: Touch not,
taste not, handle not
The love of money is the root OF all
evil"
Finally. we have but two questions:
First, to the consumer-.wherefore
spend We your money for that which is
not bread? And your labor for that
which satisfieth not?''
Second, to the deaIer-"What shall Il
profit man if he shall gain the whole
world and lose his own soUl:'
E. w. CAMPBELL
e. w Campbell spoke as follows on
the subject of "Heredity as Related to
the Liquor Habit"
Gentlemen:-A few years ago / became
much interested in the subject of hered-
ty, and have been struck with the i'm
portant fact that alcohol in it's immod-
crate use influences to a great extent
many of the called diatheses. / shall
in as brief a manner as posi-
bic, TO submit to you facts and figures
relative to the use and abuse of alcohol.
First L wish to impress upon your minds
that these facts and figures are not Gull
ed from the temperance literature, nor
are they the prejudiced opinions of tenn
perance or prohibition cranks or fanatics,
but are the result of careful observations
and experiments made in the interest Of
science and for the same purpose as the
analysis and physiological action Ct any
other drug is made. And for this rea-
son alone such testimony partakes of the
that places 1t beyond doubt.
Not one of these authorities, so far as
I'm aware, are interested in temperance
work, nor are they identified with any
ociety with temperance tendencies. And
yet, both from physiological and So
biological standpoint, the verdict is un-
against the abuse of alcohol It
acknowledged as a drug and has it's
'lace in pharmacopoeia as other drugs
rave, and is of great benefit at certain
lines and under certain couditions-as f.
conite, belladonna, morphine and so on.
