The counties have exp essed an opni Il

but the law is better enforced than ever
it was before, and there Is less reason
now for wanting resubmission than
there was when the law was made to
favor license rather than prohibition,
although It was prohoitory law. An
administration that would sllow the
liquor sellers to do business as long as
they paid their fines would be good

double the usual fgure-$23 ,623 900 for

with something over $l3 000,0 900 for

appalling total of Sl46, 6G6 $50 against

With the Baltimore, Rochester and

Lewiston Journal The letter of z
Kicker, Esq, contains some important
statements. One of the most significant
is what the Rickers, masters of i'm
portant Maine business interests, have
to say touching Maine hotel service.
The Rickers have demonstrated very
important fact for the friends of enforce
ment Of law. They have also demon
strated that it is possible not only TO
run hotel in Maine without bar, but
to make that hotel the most famous, as
well as the most prosperous, 10 the,
business. More than that, the Rickers
took a hotel al R)ckland, which had run
a bar and run down, rebuilt it without u
bar, and established it as a great success

Doing Indirect Damage.

We said the other day that, though
the Russian feet In Port Arthur was
held In check by the Japanese, and
though the Vladivostok squadron had
not been operating at any distance from
its land base, these Russian ships still
had at least moral effect on the enemy
As an example OF this mention may be
made of the fact that the japanese liner
American Maru, which Is booked to sail
from San Francisco on the 18th inst.
will go out, In all probability, without
passengers and without freight. At
least, up to Tueeday the agents had
had been unable to secure any bookings
tor either the cabin or the hold. The
reason for this Is fear of the Russian
ships that might be cruising to the east
of the Japanese coast. To the Russians
such lines as the America Maru would
be a fine pr re. The insurance rate on
crgoes carried In Japanese vessels Is
stated as 45 per cent, figure so high
that we are not surprised that the ship
pers refuse to send their goods III Jap
anese bottoms. With the sailing Of
this vessel the Togo Kinsen kslsha will
abandon its steamship service between
San Francisco and the Orient until the
close of the war. Plainly, therefore, the
Russian fl .et is still In position where
it can do at least great indirect damage
to the commerce of the manipulation

An Argument Against Alcohol,

ming match as the so-called Marathon
race held under the auspices OF the Bos-
ton Athletic Association. This Is al
event that was suggested by the visit OF
our athletes to Greece and their compe

that grows more popular with the ath.
letes and with the general public year
after year. In the Uaicorp, the Official

marks are made in regard to training
for this twenty-five mile run and the
effect OF alcohol on contestants:
"There WAS again an interesting ex
ample of the serious effects of alcohol
when used as q stimulant in such an
event at this. A boy OF IS years began
taking raw brandy at South Framing
ham. He had four drinks of the brandy,
and perhaps more, on the way to Bos-
ton. He had never taken liquor before.
As result, he was pale, stupid, with a
very slow, poor pulse, refexes diminish
ed, and low temperature for some hours
after the finish. He presented picture
of extreme exhaustion. The physicians
restfirm their unanimous belief thai

events as the Marathon rua sc;s literally

Ed. The INCREMENT:
You will no doubt be- pleased to |
learn fully Of the progress OF the
Democratic campaign on this Island
az carried on by the leading candi-
date of our party, Col @ P Iaukea.
Having followed him on his tour
from Hilo, one thing can safely
and surely say that his work has not
been void of any results.
GOOD WORK BEING DONE.
He has done good work all along
the line from the time he started the
ball rolling in Hilo on the evening OF
the sth instant up to the present
writing. Everywhere he has been
received with courteous and respect
full hearing, and open demonstrations
Of support have been extended by
Democrats aud Home Rulers alike
in many places. Some OF these de-
monstrations took the shape OF
ovATIoNs OF WELCOME
and were specially marked in the
Kau and Kona districts, particular
ly the former where there were no
club organizations. Clubs were or.
ganized by the candidate in Waiohi-
nu and Naalehu.
At Hookena and Hoopulos, cheers
greeted Iaukea, both upon his arrival
and departure, which is said to be
just the opposite and in marked con-
trast to the reception accorded
Prince Cupid and his party. The
steamer people openly remarked the
difference. shown the respective par
ty candidates ON landing at these
places.
DROVE CHARGES STRAIGHT HOME.
Met the Prince and party at Kai-
lua, who were preparing to leave for
Honolulu. Iaukes called on Kuhio
the first thing and invited him to
attend previously arranged meet
ing, which the Prince attended both
speaking from the same platform. 1t
is said by many that larger crowd
never gathered at that place before,
at least during this campaign. The
Colonel made strong charges against
the Republican purity for political
ohioanery and breach OF faith in the
declaration for County Government.
He also pointed out the policy OF
discrimination and coercion az prac-
tioed by the republican administrs-
ton against the citizsn by reason OF
political prefersces, denying to
Home Rulers the opportunity Of
earniqg their daily bread beoause
they wsrs not of that party, and in
stead employing non voters on
Government roads. The Prince @
vsded the issue and did not reply
but he spoke on generalities. Many
Republican leaders were preseot al
this meeting, such ~ Paris, Green
well, Nahale, Kamauohs. Mahaulu
Kslsuokalsni Jr. and Others, The
sentiment was clearly on the Deme'
cratic side.
