Yes, there was and she lived in Bos-

A NOVELIST FOR THE
LABOR MOVEMENT

~: =:R..ss.z5SssZ ;sy>rz:s37!Ss<@EaE 71--5H
(By Herbert N. Casson, in Boyces
Weekly)
The great need of the labor move
ment at the present time is for a novel
ist-an American Zola-who can des-
cribe in the form of story the great
struggle for better conditions that is
being made by the wage-Working
masses Of our large cities.
In 1851, before "Uncle Toms Cabin
appeared, there were very few who real
lied the horrors of slavery. The average
human mind works about as fast as
cold molasses in getting a new idea,
and there were even in the South thou
sands of tenderhearted men and women
who took slavery as a matter of course
and a divine institution.
But Mrs. Stoves book woke up the
nation. For the first time the American
people heard the crack of the lash and
saw the wife torn from her husbands
arms. Every one recognized the moral
superiority of Uncle Tom to Legree
why, these negroes are human beings
like ourselves" said the surprised read
ers. Thus the novel succeeded where
the other books failed. Everybody read
it, and in a few years it had created
a new public opinion which made email
cipation inevitable.
However much we may lecture and
editoralize, it is the story which reaches
people after all. 1t was Sir Walter
Scott's stories that did more to interest
the world in the Scotch Highlands than
the volumes of all the learned histori-
ans. It was Washington Irving's story
Of Rip Van Wrinkle that first gave ro-
nance to the Catskills. The stories of
Charles Dickens did most of all in his
generation to reform the schools and
1aw-courts, and to awaken an interest
IN the lives of the common people Of
England. All the prospectuses and pam
phlets of all the boomers and min
in gagents have not done as cub to
advertise the eWstern states as the
stories of Bret Harte. :.
If the fair-minded American people
could once realize what ten per cent
increase means to the home of a fac
tory worker who has five children and
his aged parents to support; if they

AFTER MORE OFFICES.

A separate municipal charter for Ho-
noluIu is no more needed than a fifth
wheel to a coach.
City and county government in one
is good enough for San Francisco and
it would be good enough for Honolulu.
To erect counties, cities and townships
here means to subdivide government
and multiply offices to a greater de-
gree than an overtaxed population of
10000 people, more than one-half of
them nomadic, can endure. Counties
must come; the Territorial government
must stay; but unless the taxpayers
have made up their minds to ruin
themselves for the support of a hungry
crew of taxeaters they will draw the
line there.
This whole movement is one for Of
fee. for the handling and distribution
of public funds. The country is too
thinly populated and too poor to stand
it. Until the permanent population
reaches half million, the simpler the
forms of government we have, and the
smaller the outlay save for legitimate
and money-saving improvements, the
better for the Territory.

PROPOSED LIQUOR LAW.

The Anti-Saloon League of Honolulu
has taken an attitude towards the
question of temperance reform in these
Islands which commends itself to the
public and to reasonable liquor-dealers
as one of perfect fairness. The League
does not asks for prohibition or for the
aisnensary. but it falls back on the
nlain American idea that the people of
any given district have a right to de-
eide at the polls whether they want 10
support saloons or not. If they oo'
well and good-they may have them.
If they don't, all right-they need not
have them This is the principle OF
local option by which the majority
rules ard that is one which needs no
apology anywhere in the United States.
The practical workings Of local option
in Honolulu would be seen in the divi-
sion of the city into residence and bust
ness districts or precincts, in each of
which voters would have the question of
saloons presented to them at the polls
Undoubtedly the downtown sections
and some outlying ones like Kakaako |
and PaIama would vote for saloons, but |
Punahou, Makiki, east King street, up
per Nuuanu street, and the region ly-
ing below Thurston avenue, ETC.,
would be able to keep themselves re-
spectacle.
There can be no better temperance
law than one which leaves the decision

people. There is nothing wide-open
about it on the one hand and nothing
fanaticaI about it on the other. 1t is
plain American fair-play and common
sense
