than the cost of raising it. Ranchers
further east killed their horses by
thousands for lack of market. Horses

Seattle merchants and business men

Seattle became the Quitting point, the

With confidence came large invest

900 inhabitants, most of them dead

than 100000. most of them prosperous
and some of them rich. Then the pop

past to every growing city in the Uni

been gained, with state of great nat

many old and valued friends.
AS Seattle and Honolulu are, in a
sense, neighbors. and as both may be
greatly benefited by closer relations, it
may be of interest to briefly comment
on the changes of the past twelve
years. In 1895 the whole United States
was suffering from the terrible panic
of 1898, and it's effects were nowhere
more disastrous than in this section.
The Pacific Northwest had been boom
ed beyond its developed resources and
imitation was followed by collapse.
Large business and office buildings had
been constructed with bricks at from
$l5 to SIS a thousand and with labor
at from IS to IS a day, and were plast-
cred with mortgages at ten or twelve
per cent. per annum. Nearly every
one had gone into debt as deeply as he
could, chasing rainbows. 1--WE call it

have any idea of the civilization that
has existed in Hawaii for sixty or
seventy years, of the elementary edu-
cation more universal then almost
anywhere else on earth, of Hawaiian
hospitality, of the many charming peo-
pie to be met there, of the delightful
summer as well as winter climate, of
the scenery, of the hotel accommoda-

CONSTITUTIONAL PROHIBITION.
Editor Leader: The Hobart Chief
will say tomorrow:
A careful canvass of the members
Df the constitutional convention leads
US to the opinion that there will be
40 constitutional prohibition for the
state of Oklahoma. We are satisfied
that large majority of the delegates
are in favor OF letting the people
themselves settle the question as TO
whether or not they want saloons in
the different localities of what now is
tie Territory of Oklahoma Our inti-
mate acquaintance with the voters of
the state has convinced us that they
do not favor constitutional prohibition,
aud that the convention delegates in
refusing TO draft this clause in the
constitution are doing the bidding Of
,.,e men who sent them here.
Oklahoma, to all intents and pur-
poses, viii be a Southern state The
Southern people have always stood for
local ,selfg9yernmenf, in the Just
measure that was commensurate under
the provisions of the national CON
sutltion. In the past half century
southern statesmen and people have
stood for the individual rights OF the
,ststes
The only true nrohibition that there
is ia the United States is south of the
Mason and Dixon line This has been
brought about by the enactment and
enforcement of good local option laws.
We believe that the best local op-
tion law that can be Cuacte IS one
that will restrict the sale of intoficat-
ing liquors to Incorporated uunicipali-
ties. We don't believe that the coun-
try town or community should be

the leading onicers of each county or
municipality. Wherever state prohi-
hilton Is enforced it becomes more

The question OF resubmission of
prohibition to the voters of the state
as the leading Issue i'm the last
Maine election. The Republican nor.
NAL majority OF over 10000 was cut
down to S,00G. and the Associated
Press Immediately after the election
sent out the information that all the
parties in Maine had virtually agreed
to resubmission of the question to
the people.
This continual strife and trouble
over the liquor traffic is entirely done
away with by the enactment of a
good local option law Under the Initi-
ative and Referendum in Oregon the
first law enacted by petition of the
people was strict local option law
and it has been I'm force since 1908.
II meets with the approval OF all that
class of citizens in that state who
favor local self government and the
restriction as far as possible of the
liquor traffic.
The local option law in Ohio has
been grand success. and there is now

of Ohio than there is in the state of
Kansas. In Iowa there has been a
return to local option from state pro-

mitted the other day that they lacked
five votes of having enough delegates
to incorporate prohibition in the con
stitution
The people OF Oklahoma are to he
congratulated upon the removal OF
this vexed question from the field of
politics and government and the
members of the convention will be
doing great favor to the people
when they submit the question of
saloons or no saloons TO each immedi-
ate municipality for its own l"oula-
ticn.
We believe that vast majority Of
the people of Oklahoma territory
proper favor the abolishment of all
sale of intoxicating liquors in the
rural localities, and for this reason
We have looked with favor upon the
bin introduced by Mr.. Hughes for the
restriction of the sale of Intoxicating
liquors to incorporated cities.
