LIQUOR LAW DENOUNCED.
In accordance with the suggestion of
the court, and with personal knowledge
of the frequent complaints and COM
ments of our stable population, con.
corning the great number of liquor
! licenses on this island and the abuses
in the conduct of such establishments,
the grand jury devoted large part of
it's time to the examination of the
causes of tins evil and to the probing
of the regretful discovery that such
Licenses, or greater part of them,
should or could have been issued in the
rae OF general opposition.
We find that the Honolulu authori-
ties, for reasons known to themselves
only, have acted in the granting Of
new licenses, applied for under the
Danerul law placed on the statutes or
the territory oy'the last legislature, IN
q haste unusual IN such matters ana
certainl y most unwise and hurtful.
Our legal adviser informed us that
the issuing OF liquor license may be
retarded for reasonable time after
the application for such license has
been MED, no doubt Tor the purpose OF
enabling an inquiry into the merits Of
the application, yet we find from the
copies of the original licenses and
other documents, furnished us by the
territorial treasurer, that licenses were
issued within the shortest possible time
after the receipt or applications, In
one case the holder OF license OF the
iourth-class receiving thlrd-ciass
license on an application made by an
.>ff'
statement OF such agent that ne had
peen requested TO apply Tor the incense
by wireless message. This license was
granted DAY after the receipt OF such
novel application and was dated BACK
some SIX weeks. Any KIND OF notihca-
tions to the public-as is usual In other
branches of the government-of such
applications for licenses would have en-
abled the opponents of such liquor
places to use their legal rights OF pro-
testing against the granting OF the
licenses.
TkaASuAEE cAMpBELL WHITES.
Sherif klce submitted TO us a letter
TO MN from the treasurer OF the Ter
rltory, from whlcn we extract the t0i-
lowing matter pertaining TO one OF the
licenses under review, W.:
Wlth reference TO o ozaki case =!
am able to write as follows: ozaki
applied for a third-class license on Au-
gust 24th and received a license on the
25th. The third-elass license he re-
