that the white men OF the south a.,
themselves living under the same laws
which they made TO affent the negro.
He said OF the two systems OF taxa

plan Is by far the safest. He favored
strongly an income tax.
Continuing. Mr.. Bryan said: What

two effects 40 far. One Is. II stopped

GROWTH IN HAWAII
Of TEMPERANCE VIEWS

Editor Advertiser: 1 desire through
the Advertiser to thank the ladies of
the w. c. t. U. for their kind notice
of a desultory talk which 1 gave to
their society last Tuesday afternoon.
In the interest Of historical accuracy
a correction in dates should be made.
A short of recent temperS
ance legislative effort was given to
show the advance in temperance in
fluence since 1901 (not 1S91).
Al that time the South Carolina Dis
pensary system and also the Gothen-
berg method of handling liquors under
direct government supervision, were
optics of international discussion. A
number of the temperance people of
these island say an apparent oppor-
tunity for %curtailing saloons and there's
fore favored the greater part of a bill
before the legislature of 1901.
BY the time of the next session of
the legislature in 1903, the Anti-Saloon
League had begun its work in favor
of local option. No hearing could be
secured in the conventions called for
considering platforms. The Republican
convention practically put itself on
record against temperance. During the
session of 1903, however, local option
bills were presented and local option
literature was scattered over the desks
of the legislators and throughout the
stands. By the next session in 1905
mot 1880, Senator Dickey was able to
carry his local option bill through the
Senate. 1t was lost III the House. In
the present legislature, 1907, the lower
house, in committee of the whole, de-
voted its entire time, for several hours,
in a manner almost unprecedented in
any state or territory, to a presenta-
ton of ideas concerning local option
by friends of that measure who were
not members of the legislature. In
this presentation Rev. DR.. Scudder and
others made addresses and answered
question. To Prince Kuhio, the dele
gate to Congress, belongs great credit
for his ~unwavering support of local
option in his address before the legis-
lature, and his private influence with
the members of the lower house. His
influence was felt in a very marked
in the victory the local option
bill secured in the lower house.
In the Senate the bill was lost by
.ne ~vote-eight voting against it to
seven in its favor. Two men who are
quoted as having committed them
selves in favor of local option cast
heir votes contrary to the expectation
Of the friends of the bill and thereby
it's defeat.
This is a concise sketch of the
growth of temperance sentiment in the
Hawaiian Islands since 1901.

LUNCH TROUBLES WERE
VERY EASILY ADJUSTED

Editor Advertiser: A wrong impress
sion having gone forth from the state
ment in Thursdays issue concerning
the Y. w. c. A. lunch room. permit
me to make explanation.
Finding the former service not sat
isfactory. and reviewing the situation
carefully, it seemed wise to institute
here what is almost universal in the
Association lunch rooms in the States,
the cafeteria system of service. 1t
was new TO most of the young women
here-the first day there was necessar-
lily a little confusion-and a very few
of the young women have preferred
TO go elsewhere for luncheon. until
things We're fully established. The
majority vote it very much better than
the old method-and after three DAYS
of trial there is no diminution of at
tendance, Notwithstanding the so-called
strike,
In essence the change means simply
this: We can give better Iunches-mors
quickly and satisfactorily served-jf
each young woman will assist a very
little, and what is saved by not en-
pioying paid walters. We make back
to the young women in food values.
Respectfully,

PEACE.

If Great Britain succeeds in perfecting the latin alliance winch she mas
partly achieved, the effect upon the peace of the world will be greater, IN
doubtedly, than that of The Hague conference. The danger spot IN Europe

maxim that defencei is at lines bsts served by attack; and there are reasons
believe that Germany, if she found any neighbonng power growing too
strong would not hesitate to begin hostIities so as to avert possible future
danger tt her frontiers. That vas shown by her way # picking a quarrel
with France after the 1atters ally, Russia, had been demorah2ed by the Japa
neew var, using a n incident in Morocco as a subterfuge. But for the coalition
which England instantly made against her, Germany would have probably
forced France to fight and TO fight at a disadvantage.
e This coalition Great Britain wants to expand. Se has an entente with
France. another with Portugal, a third with Spain and is said to be seeking

of war;, by building a navy; France and Italy are already welprovided on

4 NEbRASKAN's
VIEWS Of HAWAII

John E.. Miller comes back from the
Hawaiian Island with several def
mite ideas on public questions. His
mind is made up as to the undesirable
ity of admitting orientals to this coun-
try. I'VE don't want them,'' is his YER
dict. W can afford to develop our
resources more slowly with white Ia
Dor rather than become involved in
finds that the American end of his
journey leaves him more strongly i'm
pressed than ever with the incompe-
tency Of the management of the great
est of the western railroads. Travel
was light, but the trains were almost
invariably late.
On the islands Mr.. Miller found the
sugar business prosperous. With labor
at seventy cents and protection $34 a
ton the business is abundantly profit
able, and yet the planters fight against
the free admission of sugar from the
Philippines to the mainland as if their
i've depended upon it. Some interest
ing side lights on the ship subsidy
question were seen there also, when
the ships were delayed more thar a
week, apparently to give the impress
sion that the line was in it's last gasp
and that nothing would keep the flag
af1oat out a grant from the treasury.
On account of that delay Mr.. Miller
was obliged to come back by way OF
Canada and buy extra railroad tickets
from Seattle to Lincoln. He can't
prove that the ships were held back
for a subsidy argument, but the sus-
picion was strong in Honolulu that
this. was the case.-Nebraska State
