| (d) The people of the district for
which the Kau Wine Co, Ltd, has
made It's application for a Dealers
License are DESTROYS Of having such
application granted.
(e) These people show by their let.
tiers that the conditions at Kau are
not at set forth in Sheriff Andrews's
reports to the Treasurer. That as q
matter of fact the district has been
in better order since the granting Of
the Dealers License for the district
than at any time heretofore. That the
Kau Wine & Liquor Co. have con.
Quoted their business In an orderly
manner and with a view to law and
order in the district. That drunken.
ness had decreased and loafing has al
most disappeared. That a licensed
seller of liquor is much more prefera.
BILE from the standpoint of control of
labor than no license at all.
II 10 suhpi,ted that tho ideo tho,
,lIIcit selling can no coptroIIod or prc.
ventod In "a extensive dIstrict M
Kan ar in any outIyinp district nv
tho refueal of any and ail license is
faIlacious and IopicaIIy incorrect as

effect among the plantatIon Iaborers.
These people have the same legal
right 10 nurcbase liouor az any other
residents or citizens of the Territory.
and IN refuse 10 them n convenient and
authorized Mace where such demand
NAV he lawfully supplied can only
tend TO their obtaining IL by any other
available means in any other placs
that IL NAV be offered for sale. Where
there is n dollar IN he made there ara
ALWAYS TO he found those who are will.

estly. II they can. otherwise dishon.
estly.
The theory that goods can be for.
warded from n central point say n
particular wharf or landing, and
watched until IL reaches the consumer
indicates an intention ON the mart of
the authorities to establish a system
OF espionage, that for several reasons
is not practicable,
l.-Such a system is certain to ir.
ritate those who have no intention of
wrong.doing. and IL carried ont effec.
lively. cannot fail to produce trouble
and perhaps strikes among a laboring
people. who are known to be both sen.
J sitiye and tenacious of their rights,
), I'm order to carry this out effec.
lively a large force OF spies and in.
formers will be necessary, whose very
presence, when known, never fails to
. excite opposition and defiance In any
! community
