APPLICA IONS
ALL TURNED
DOWN
Four WouId-Be Saloon
Keepers Squelched
by the Board.

The Board Of License Commissioners
bowled out four yesterday afternoon
without turning hair or batting an
eye.
At four o'clock the public hearing
of four applications began. A. NJ.
Brown represented one of them; Colin
Campbell. another; P. H. Burnette, a
third, and A. G. NJ. Robertson, the
fourth Two of them Were Fishmarket
sufferers-that is, they had formerly
had saloons that came within the Fish
market dead line and the Commission
had refused them licenses. So they
secured premises a little farther away,
and tried, tried again. Wong Chung
Lung, who had been refused license
for a place at Hotel and Kekaulike
streets, wanted license for place at
1114 Maunakea street farther away
from the deadly Fishmarket. Pang
Lum Now, another Fishmarket suf-
ferer. had found a place just opposite
that found by Wong. Ichiro Nishioka,
who had abandoned a general nler-
chandise business at Aiea in which ne
| had been laudabIy and honorably en-
gagged, according to his attorney, Colin
Campbell, for ten years, to seek riches
by way of the retail saloon business
and had been turned down by the
board, now sought a license for a
wholesale business. He thought some
/ of the people at Aiea might want their
| liouor delivered at their houses instead
| of having to rush their own growler
Loo Coon, who was represented by
his attorney as having learned the liq-
nor business thoroughly during MS
employment at Peacock & Co.'S, want
ed a license for Harry Juen's OH place
at the junction of King street and
Beretania avenue His attorney urged
| GD that he was an American citizsfi'
| and (2) that there was a large anu
presumably thirsty population in that
neighborhood, and comparatively few
saloons. incidentally, 1t was stated
| that Pang Lum Now is also an Amer-
| lean citizen.
| The board heard the applicants ana
! then went into executive session, COIN
| ing out with the announcement thar
| all four of them had been denied.
| There is a feeling, among those Wno
have watched the course of the BOARD
/ that when an applicant has been turn
| ed down once he can make money by
not APPLYING again. Also, the inference
| is drawn in some quarters tnat tHefe
| will be no great increase in the NUMBER
| of licenses allowed over those now Is
| sued, and that hence a license once
secured will be valuable asset anu
| worth while treasuring by strict COM
pliance with the law.
| Fred Kiley's bartender asked the
board to postpone a decision on hiIey
| application until after the thirt1eth'
when Kiley would be back. It was
| stated that he had gone away not
| expecting what happened '-presutila-
| bly, the scorching protest against ms
place which was made the other day
! and therefore more time was wanted
But the law requires the board to ue-
| eide one way or the other within ten
days after the public hearing, SO the
| request could not be granted. A con
tinnance was given until August ~

DOWN IN KENTUCKY.

When the Kentuckian OF the future
looks back to the history which his
state has made during recent years
he will take no pride in It, And yet
Col Henry Watterson and Gov.
Beckham are unable to understand
at least they assign trivial causes
why Kentucky went Republican.
Ever since Gov. Goebel was muir
dered Kentucky has been a reproach
to America. Not so much because
its politics became so hot that some
man or men in the heat o. passion
shot down another man-though
that was disgrace enough for COM
munity which is supposed to have adj
vanced beyond the stage of barbarism
but because its people have for
years. in cold blood, persistently
sought TO avenge one murder by
committing other murders.
Ever since Gov. Goebel was shot
there has been in a Kentucky jail a
prisoner held on the charge of being
the murderer and held without evil
denoe. The supreme court of the
United States has felt called upon to
take congnizance of the perversion of
justice sanctioned by Kentucky.
And during those same years an
other man, man who once was
Kentucky's chief executive, has been
given asylum by the governors OF
Indiana because they knew that II
he were surrendered to the authori-
ties of his own state he would be
murdered. Indiana has behaved to-
ward Kentucky as England might
behave toward Turkey, and the Other
states have held that she was justi-
fed.
Now that there has been a change
OF administration former Gov, Tay-
lor has volunteered to return TO his
state and stand trial. Now that there
has been change in administration
there is a belief that Caleb Powers
will be liberated. And this. not in
the middle ages when men were held
innocent or guilty according as their
friends or their foes were in power;
but in a twentieth century American
commonwealth. - Grand Rapids

CONSCRIPTION2

Either from the musty depths OF
q mind. shut in by militarism, or
from desire TO get his report a
good place in the newspapers Adju-
tant General Ainsworth declares that
transcription will be necessary TO
keep up the American army. He re
cites the fact that the army ha,
changed fifty per cent in year by
deaths, assertions and discharges.
The reason for this is not far to
seek. The war with Spain ard the
subsequent expeditions throughout
the Philippines gave the adventurous
youths of generation just grown up
the opportunity they desired for the
experiences of campaigning. They
had their fin and many of them en-
tered the insular service, or took
their discharges. Hard upon the
heels OF the war came the present
era OF prosperity in its full flush.
There has been more work than men,
and wages have gone up temptingly

the army full in piping times oi
