LIQUOR INTERESTS.
Relative to the liquor bill and its
prospects it would appear that the
greatest opponent to respectability in
the liquor business in Honolulu is the
Honolulu Brewery. Senator Mccarthy
is responsible for the opinion, for he
has stated on several occasions that
it is the brewery that is fighting the
movement to cut down the number of
saloons for the reason that the more
saloons in the country the bigger the
demand for the product of that institu
tion for the promotion of poverty and
distress. If the Anti-Saloon League or
the Civic Feds. would get at the source
of the opposition to deeency in the
liquor traffic, they must begin down on
Queen street if the statement of the
Senator is correct.

Underground Wires.

An ordinance has been drafted for
presentation to the city council of
Hattiesburg calling upon the various
electrical service companies doing
business in this city to arrange for
placing wires underground in the bus
mess district. This is the result Of
the recent electrical storm in which
all of the fire halls of the city were
set afire and one man lost his life and
several others were injured by the
electrical currnt carried by crossed
wires. The managers of the various
companies were called into confer
ence by Mayor Donald, to devise
some means to prevent a recurrence
of such confusion and damage and
this ordinance for underground con-
duits is the result.

Of cavil that the National Government
Is limited to the powers specified in
the Constitution creating it, reads:
The powers not delegated to the
United States by the Constitution,

are reserved to the States respective
ly or to the people, Other powers
have since been granted, and In the
future still others may be given, but
the Constitution as 1t now stands for
bids the exercise of any powers other

no room for finding in the language
OF the Constitution a claim that there
are certain unmentioned and inherent
powers which the Federal Govern

"The attempts on the part of the
Federal Government to despoil the
States Of the powers and functions
belonging to them will not tend to
smoothness in the working of our
dual scheme of government. Already
1t has had its effect. The indignation
of the governing forces of many of
the States is already aroused. It is
shown in the legislation of the year.
It had not little to do, in my judg-
ment, with the recent conflict Of judi

LUKE WRIGHT
Is OPTIMISTIC
RETIRING AMBASSADOR DIS
CUSSES ORIENT.
JAPAN DOESN'T WANT WAR
The Mikado's Government Has Other
Matters of Grave Importance
Among Which Is One Billion
Dollar Debt.

Washington d. General Luke
E. Wright, Of Tennessee, returning
home after a residence of year and
a half in Toxic as American am
bassador, is here on business, which,
when disposed of, will formally mark
his retirement from the diplomatic
service. His successor as first am
bassador to Japan, Thomas j. O'Brien
a former minister to Denmark, sailed
from Seattle with the Taft party for
Toxic.
General Wright takes. most COM
placent and optimistic view Of Japan
and the future of its people and re-
pudiates as unworthy the suggestion
of the prospect of armed conflict be-
tween the United States and the
Mikado's government. He said that
Japan had enough real work to- do
in Korea and Manchuria to exercise
her energies for year to come with
out seeking trouble with the United
States. He did not regard war even
as a remote possibtIlsy and as for
trouble in the future over the Philip
pines, he did not think Japan has
ever wanted the archipelago or ever
will want it bad enough to fight for
the stake. One reason, in General
Wright's opinion, why Japan is not
smarting for trouble with the United
States is the enormity of its national
debt, which in round numbers is
one billion dollars. Considering the
resources of that government that
gigantic sum was equivalent to a
national debt in this country o. If
teen or twenty billions. In other
words, General Wright thought the
United States could better afford TO
owe twenty billion dollars than
Japan could afford to carry debt
of one billion. 1t should not be In
ferred from this comparison of the
resources of the two countries that
Japan is not eminently capable of
caring for her national obligations.
Of the people Of Japan General
Wright said that they had many ad-
mirable traits and characteristics
which made for national unity and
strength. He thought that some OF
the greatest students ne had ever
met in public life were Japanese and
that their capacity for achievement
was almost unreasonable. General
Wright regretted the anti-Japanese
outbreak in San Francisco, but did
not regard it as sufficient provoca-
ton for war between the countries.
The best thinkers of Japan, he said,
were adverse to the idea Of war
with the United States and earnestly
desired to add cohesion to the rela-
tions which heretofore had made
Japan and America friendly.
