THE ANTS
HAVE A SAY
Make a Strenuous Plea
for Liquor Traffic
Safeguards.

Members of the Senate of the Terri
tory Of Hawaii, Senate Chamber,
Honolulu.
Gentlemen:-T committees repre-
senting the Civic Federation and Anti
Saloon League have carefully consider
ed Senate Bill No. 81.
We are much impressed with the high
public spirit evidenced in the
thoughtful preparation of this bill and
with the general wisdom and business
OF its provisions. In certain particu-
lars We believe, however. that the in
terests of the public have not been
sufficiently guarded and We would
therefore respectfully petition that
The Bill be amended as indicated be-
low
First and most important OF all we
request that Section 26, page 20, lines
TO 6, be amended tc read Provided
that if it shall be made to appear 70
the Board etc. This omits the words
If a majority of the reg stored voters
for such precinct shall have duly filed
their protests against the granting or
renewal of the license applied for, or. .
This provision is ostensfbiy inserted
n the interests of those who are op-
posed to saloons but We earnestly pro-
test that II is neither in their interests
nor is it desired by them. The Supreme
Court Of the United States has declared
that the Iauor business constitutes a
public menace ana that it is dan
gerous 70 society. We submit there
fore that If either the friends or op-
ponents Of this dangerous traffic are
10 be huraened by law with a spec al
canvass ii should be its friends and
not its opponents. 1t would seem just
to require the man who applies for q
license to secure a majority consent
OF the precinct electors rather than
TO compel those who oppose him TO
bear this burden. Bur We do not ask
tbs We simply demand in the pub
lie interest that this matter of ma
iority petition be dropped entirely out
of this bill. We do not think it right
10 impose this burden Of local petition
upon either side We do favor the en-
actment Of a local option measure
which shah be absolutely just and inn
partial 70 both sides in this controver-
sy and We favor this bel .ng done by a
enactment entirely distinct
from the general liquor law. We
therefore protest against this provision
being inserted IN this bill ostensibly 10
please those whom We represent when /
as matter Of fact so far as we have |
been able 10 ascertain our constituents /
are emphaticalIy opposed thereto.
We request that lines y and p on |
page 4 be erased. There Is no reason /
why any class Of reputable citizens /
should be thus excluded from service
N these boards. In practice 1t would .
De very hard TO execute any such pro-
rision as this and II would give rise
o many disputes. The provision was
lot a part Of either BIZ II or A.

VACCINATION URGED
BY HEALTH OFFICER
DIR. Levy Declares Smallpox Al
most Certain to Come Here
This Winter.

In q letter sent yesterday to the
heads of all department stores, facto-
ries. and 10 all persons in fact, who
employ large numbers OF people. Chief
Health officer Levy strongly urged the
Importance of vaccination. declaring
that smallpox is almost certain to Greer
in here within the next two months
Not a case has been reported In Rich
mond since July 9TH. Sanitary author
tiles are of the opinion that vaccina.
ton. to be effective, should be repeated
every ten years. DIR. Levy says:
Within recent years smallpox
Is an annual visitor to practically
grace to our civilization. and arises
from the fact that vaccination is
not thoroughly practiced. Every
employer has it in his power to
Go much towards correcting this
state OF affairs.
There has been no smallpox in
Richmond since JULY 9Th. but.
Judging from previous wears, ii is
fairly certain to make its appear
ance within the next tao months,
NOW is the proper time to act. and
wish to appeal to YOU to sec
that all your employees are prop
erly protected by vaccinations The
| opinion OF SANITARY authorities is
unanimous in regarding vuccina-
! tion as an absolute protection
/ against smallpox. 1t Is also known. =
however. that. in order to make
| this protection complase, vaccina-
ton should be done NJ least every
ter wears.
THE CITY of Richmond is regu-
| LARRY called on every Year TO spend
considerable money for the isola-
ton and maintenance of Ignorant
! or foolish people who have me-
elected this simple precaution, and
this is a burden which YOU, as /.
taxpayer of the city. should do all
/ in your power to be relieved of.
i If the number OF your employees
Is sufficient. I would suggest your
/ making arrangements with some
physician 20 go through your es-
adjustment. ascertain where vac
clnation Is needed. and then at
tend to the matter for you If
al employers in the city will adopt
this policy and If the citizens
VIII further see that the servants
! In their homes are properly vac
/ cinated (since the greatest num-
Der of cases of smallpox is always
among ignorant negroes), we
should have an excellent chance OF
being free of smallpox during the
