M MEMORIAL DAY
Something of Its Origin and
Prophecy as TO Its Future.
BY MAI. GEN. FRED. d. GRANT

BY MAI. GEN. FRED. D. GRANT
EHE idea of this beautiful GUS
tom was first suggested and
made a great national holiday
by Gen. John A. Logan. He
was a thoughtful man, swayed by SEN
timent of the highest order, and
close student of the classics. He
read much and frequently referred to
historic episodes in his speeches.
BY nature Gen. Logan was inclined
to be heroic, and so after the war,
after reading much about the beauti-
full customs of the ancient Greeks in
honoring their dead heroes with cere-
monies and flowers at annual fes-
rivals, 1t came TO him in a moment of
inspiration that it would be a patriot
ic and popular thing to likewise honor
the dead soldiers of our own country
in a similar way. He held that to
decorate the soldiers graves once a
year in the month OF May with its
flowers and blooming splendor would
awaken new sentiments of loyalty and
regard for the government among the
people.
1t was a fact, as he we'll knew.
that nearly every household had lost
one or more members or relatives or
dear friends. Gen. Logan's inspira-
ton awoke response in every heart
and his movement was soon organized
and made of national Importance.
Grand Army posts were established

THE MAKING OF A MAN.

What man was made Of: A smah

water and much larger quantity Of

What man ought to have been made
Of: A steel frame covered with cork.

asbestos, and a goats stomach lined
with double copper plates.
1t is guaranteed that this man will
not be affected by railroad and auto

WILL REFoREsT PINE LANDS.
Company Carrying on Extensive Elk
periments in Upper Michigan.

Marquette. Mich.--With the purpose
of eventually bringing about the re-
forestation of the pine barrens of up
per Michigan the Cleveland Cliffs Iron
company is carrying on extensive eX-
periments. 1t has established nur-
series in Negaumee and Alger coun-
ties at which pine trees are being
raised from seed and the plan has
thus fan been attended with entire
success. White pine trees grown from
seed are ready for transplanting two
years after sprouting. Ninety thou
sand of these tender sprigs are ready
for this purpose now. and they are be.
ing set out on cut-over lands near
Coalwood.
A considerable quantity of seed was
planted last year More will go into
the ground this spring, including so
pounds received a few days ago from
Denmark, and this process will be re-
peated annually for an indefinite time.
Forty years, il is estimated. are re-
quired for a white pine tree to attain
such size as to make it profitable to
market.
Another interesting experiment to
he conducted by the company is the
culture of the southern cottonwood
ON northern Michigan lands. 1t is be-
lieved that this timber would be ideal
for pulpwood.

To the Board of Liquor License Com
missioners, County of Oahu, Terri
tory of Hawaii
| Gentlemen: Mr.. P. D. Ryan is an ap-
plicant for a license TO conduct a sa-
| loon on the ground floor of the Occi-
dental Hotel building, at the corner of
Alakea and Hotel streets. The saloon
| is not to occupy the immediate corner,
but is to have it's direct entrance a
short distance below King street on
Alakea. This is because the immediate
corner is within one hundred and fifty
feet of the entrance to the Christian
church, situate short distance above
King street on Alakea. We, the MEM
bers of the Christian church, in con-
gregation assembled wish to call your
attention to number of reasons why
we think no saloon should be permitted
at that point; and to a further number
of reasons why we believe, even if there
should seem to you good reasons for
licensing one there. the present appli-
cant is not a suitable party to whom
to grant such license.
Reasons against granting a saloon
license at that point to any applicant:
/. The corner of King and Alakea
streets is transfer point for the Rapid
Transit Street Railway Company. We
think it bad public policy to permit sa-
looms so near such points Traffic Is
necessarily more or less congested at
such points. Passengers are liable to
annoyance from DRINKS. And, besides,
the DRINKS themselves are in increased
danger of meeting with serious acct
dents We believe such points should |
be guarded from the liquor traffic to |
the same extent as churches and |
schools.
,. Though technically the Alake2 |
street entrance to the saloon is outside |
the 150-foot limit required by law, the |
saloon is to all intents and purposes
within that distance for the reason that
our congregation in coming to and GO
ing from church must leave and take
the car within a few feet of the saloon
entrance.
8. Though the saloon has it's main
entrance on Alakea street. it has a side
entrance through hallway on to King
street, which is within the distance =

Gentlemen: | am informed that one

fore your honorable board for a liquor
license to sell liquor at Laiemoloo,
Koolauloa, Oahu, T. H. Now this man
has been selling liquor at said place
for some time past, under license, and
have watched the effects upon our
people, which have been very democrat
izing indeed, some of which 1 have
never known to take a drink of liquor
of any kind for years past until this
license aforesaid was granted. Now, l
am sorry to say, they may be seen
very often under the influence of liquor,
delivered from said place, and as re-
suit their families have suffered much.
It is also very damaging to our plan
tation labor Therefore I most solemn
ly protest against your giving the Ii
cense prayed for, or to the giving of
one to any other person or persons
within our borders: for the reasons set
forth and also because they have
y
a menace to our Hawaiian people, for
whom we are devoting so much of our
time, and it is also a menace to our
labor.

appreciate our position, and will come

should be given to its surprise at the
entire lack of interest in the matter
displayed on the part of those who
have in the past talked so much
about it.
While no objections We're made at

against a few of the one hundred

Honolulu, T. H, May 25, 1907.
To the Board of License Commission
--~rs, County of Oahu, Honolulu.
Dear Sirs: In behalf of Kakaako
Settlement work I address you in ref
erence to a saloon located on the cor
ner of South and Queen streets, known
as the Wigwam, which is almost OPP
posite to and within seventy-five feet
of the main entrance Of said Kakaako
Mission.
This saloon has not respected its IL
cense privilege in the past. A short
time ago one partner was arrested for
selling beer to a little boy of seven
years of age and would doubtless have
been convicted had the little boy been
allowed to testify in the district court.
If men are not too drunk to get into
the saloon, they can get drink even if
they do fall out of the door, which we
have seen.
This saloon is a rendezvous for
drunken men every evening and they
make the night hideous up to the hour
of closing.
The Kakaako Mission is not a church,
although we have gospel services every
evening. We also have Sunday school.
sewing schools, temperance and other
work among the children of this dis
trict. Any day in the week, after and
before school hours, from 40 to 60 chill
dren can be seen in our Fairgrounds
and in the rooms of the settlement.
This building was erected expressly
for this work for the children of this
neglected district. Most of these chill
dren must pass this saloon to get to the
mission.
Should an application be made for
license for the Wigwam Saloon, we ask
your committee to take into considera-
ton these facts. Most respectfully
YOURS. p. w. RIDER,
superintendent, Kakaako Mission.
