OPENING THE CAMPAIGN OF
THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE

The Agitation Committee of the anti
Saloon League has asked number of
the friends of temperance to each
write an article on some phase of the
liquor question, such article to be pub
lished in some one of the daily papers
of Honolulu. It is hoped that from
now on until election time one of these
articles may appear in each Monday s
issue of the Advertiser. This will be
the record if all those who have prom
ised articles are prompt in their re-
sponses.
But why limit the writing to those
there not others who have something
worth saying? If so, will they not
communicate with usg Each person
who writes will appear over his own
signature, but at the request of the
anti-Saloon League. He will be re-
sponsible for the views he presents,
the league for inviting him before the
public. 1t is not the league inten-
ton to censor or prescribe limits so as
to insure oneness of opinion. Rather,
it desires to have a frank discussion by
honest and brave men of the evils of
the liquor traffic, and remedies there
for. Perfect accord in opinions is not
expected. 1t is because there ism It per-
feet accord that we believe a public
discussion will do good. To that end
we invite discussion OF the articles as
they appear.
We should be glad to see the liquor
men in public print graphing with the
pros and cons of the situation But,
especially do we ask the temperance
element in the community to assert
themselves. We do not think it fair
Hfor them to sit back and do nothing
simply because the problem is one of
public welfare rather than one of per-
sonal finances directly affecting them
Such a course leaves the discussion
wholly in the hands of those who op-
pose temperance movements because
they themselves are engaged in MAX
ing money directly or indirectly
through the agencies for intemperance.
If you would consider writing on
some phase of the liquor problem the
following list of subjects may prove
suggestive. They are such as no one
has yet agreed to write on.
1.-Infuence of beer on the human
system.
2.-Infuence of other alcoholic
drinks on the human system.
3.-Moral aspects of the liquor ques-
ton as they affect the saloonkeeper.
Has the church member any re-
sponsibility in the present fight against
the liquor evil? If so, what is ita
5.-Can the business man afford to
fight the liquor traffic9

Mr.. ELSCHAER ON
ISLAND P|hEkPPLES
Honolulu, October 2, 1906.

Honolulu, October ., 1906.
Editor Advertiser: In connection
with the comments, Mr. w H. Baldwin
made in the last Sundays Advertiser
on my article, Pineapple Growing in
Wahiawa," ] beg to make the follow
ing remarks:
During my sojourn n Wahiawa,
where / stayed to study the climatic
conditions and the nature of the soil,
was impressed with the splendid
growth and quality of the pineapples,
grown in that district Having no in
terest whatsoever in the financial
growing of that colony, at least not
more than any other man. who will
rejoice over the opening of new under
takings in these islands such as the
pineapple industry, it was certainly
not my intention to praise the Wahi-
ava pineapple unduly. at the expense
of other local pineapple growing dis
tricts. ! have no doubt, but that
equally good fruits can be grown at
other points of these islands provided
the climatic conditions as well as the
soil are as favorable as they are at
Wahiawa. AS my examination of the
different Hawaiian soils is progressing,
l will be in a better position to de
eide this question. AS this object
will, in due time, also take me to
Maui, L may personally verify all Mr.
Baldwin claims for his fruits
The main object of my article was,
to set forth the excellent quality of
the Hawaiian pineapPles as compared
with the products of other countries,
and since | knew the Wahiawa pine
apple best and its good qualities, /
named the same as a fit representative
of this fruit in the islands. Viewed
in this light, I feel certain, that Mr.
Baldwin viii not blame me for having
chosen a fruit of such well known
quality, although l repeat, that I have
no doubt of the possibility that its
standard can be reached by fruits
grown at other districts of these is
lands.
Yours very truly,
C. ELSCHNER.

Daily announcements are being

Many Of these announcements are made
without my knowledge, whether inten.

often disappointed because he does not

to his disadvantage, and I desire to
say that the only arrangements for his

WANTS RECIPROCAL 81 esp. .....5 .
DEMURRAGE IN STATE.

i Following the example of Kansas
shippers the Minnesota Shippers and
Receivers association will endeavor to
enforce the reciprocal demurrage doc
trine in this state without the aid Of a
legislative enactment. AS the first step
George F. LOTUS for the association to-
day fled petition with the state rail-
road and warehouse commission asking
that the commission make the demur-
rage system reciprocal.
It is well known to shippers at least
that If q car Of freight is not I'M
loaded within certain time that de-
murrage is charged, while at the same
time shipper may be compelled to
wait several days for car after it
has been ordered, no matter how i'm
perative the consignment may be-. It
is contended by the shippers that the
failure to obtain cars promptly is Sc
rious handicap to them and a financial
loss aaginst which they are entitled
to some compensation.
An attempt was made in the last
Legislature to correct this state of Of
fairs, but the bill failed to pass.
The shippers association now. con-
tends that legislative enactment is
not necessary and that the railroad and
warehouse commission has complete iur-
isdiction in the matter. This ques-
ton, it is understood, : was raised in
Kansas. The state commission con-
Guided that it had jurisdiction and
placed the reciprocal demurrage system
in operation. On an appeal by the rail
ways to the supreme court Of the state
the. commission was sustained.

BROKERS SELL
THEIR FURNITURE

The last OF the ticket brokers' bust
ness has disappeared today in the re-
moval Of the furniture from the three
OFFICES In the city, all Of which had been
closed SINCE last week. This is taken as
evidence that the railroads have at last
completely won out In their contention
that the brokers' business was contrary
to the state law. Altho the case against
the brokers has been taken up to tho
supreme court Of the Unitetd States It
Is question whether the business will
be resumed, even if the decision in De-
cember Is favorable to the fraternity. It
is said that some good friends Of the
brokers bought up all their second hand
furniture in the twin cities and Duluth,
as well as covered the loss on the stock
on hand
