In an official report to the Commits

Chief Belt Of the fire department said that

The draft bill provides for no cheap

OBJECTION TO THE DRAFT.
The reading of these points raised a
chorus of objections among those pres
ent Senator Rawlins and Mr.. Far
rington were especially of the opin-
ion that there should be a further elias
sifeation of licenses with lower fee
for country districts. Others suggest
ed that the number of licenses be
restricted according to population. This
suggestion was seconded by Smith.
cit is absurd the number of saloons

ator. 1T is an Ubiquitous, miserable
thing for the Hawaiians, for the me-

the city that there are SO many of
these places. In a seaport town [ re-

It was the general opinion that a
board of license commissioners in each
county, wholly independent in their
positions, should be empowered to is
sue the licenses. This board should
be named for each county by the Gov
ernor, not by the Supervisors, in or
der to keep it out of politics, the mem
bers to serve without pay and to have
arbitrary powers.
In this connection Senator D. Kanu-
ha proved himself a practical politician
by wanting to know what was to pre-
vent man with big money getting
next to the board and having license
issued to hima
It was finally agreed that the bill
as drafted would be acceptable if
amended to include the creation of
county boards of license commissioners,
to limit the number of licenses to be
issued according to population and to
re grade the classification of licenses
to lessen the $1,000 fee in rural dis
tricts.

From February Munsey,s Magazine.
The Bryan household Of late years

testimony not merely to Mr.. Bryan,s
cosmopolitan fame, but to his good.
humored philosophy. 1t appears that
in Japan an aspiring youth can adopt
some man of eminence as his father.
and immemorial custom compels the
person thus honored to take and care
for the founding, at least until he
comes TO the age of self-support. In
1896 the fame of the Democratic can
didate penetrated to the cherry groves
OF Japan and fired the ambition Of a
young student.

The statement was incontroyertible;
the situation delicate. To repulse

So the lad was made welcome, and
has since been literally one of the
family, even adopting its name. He
has received the same education that
Mr.. Bryan's own son has had, and will
return to Japan. not only equipped
with all that our civilization can give,
but hearing also the story of the broad
