PROHIBITION NO SOLUTION.

No amount of theory and preju-
diced argument on the subject of
prohibition can blind the fair-mind-
ed citizen to the practical demonstra-
ton of experience.
The Incorporate opponents of pro-
hibition are very much disposed to
defend their position by the charge
that the only persons who believe in
allowing the saloon to exist or the
stills and the breweries to continue
doing business, are low-class saloon
keepers and their evil associates.
The man who believes in temper
ance in all things still exists, how
ever. Though charged with being
sinner, the case against him is
weak one, and in the long run of
life's battle his cause will prevail.
One of the observers of prohibi-
ton results. who must be admittedly
free from the stain of intentional
alliance with the forces OF evil Is
Rev. Father O'Rourke of St. Doml-
nic's Catholic Church of Washing
ton, ID. c. Father O'Rourke appeared
before the House committee that was
holding hearings on the proposal to
enforce prohibition in the District of
Columbia. The Associated Press dis
patches report the hearing as follows
under date Of April 90:
The House Committee on the
District of Columbia is giving
hearings this week on the pro-
posed prohibitory legislation for
the district. Among the Witness
es has been the Rev. Father
ORourke of St. Dominic's Cath
Ollie Church, who told the COM
mittee what he had seen in pro.
hibition Maine, referring espe-
cially to Portland and Old Orch
ard. He said that there was a
drug store on every corner in
these two towns and several
times when he had gone in for a
glass OF soda water he was asked
| II he didn't want something
stronger in 1t. And In these
places, Father O'Rourke said, he
had seen more drunkenness than
he ever saw anywhere else be-
fore. Prohibition, from his OBJ
servation. did not prohibit there,
and 1t would not prohibit here,
for he called attention to the fact
that for five cents n resident OF
Washington could take ride on
one of the Alexandria ferries on
which. as soon as the vessel left
the wharf, the bar was thrown
open. Anyone could do this, even
II the District had u prohibition
law, and one could not only buy
liquors on the boat, but could
bring home what was desired.
Father O'Rourke answered In
the negative question by Repre-
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1908-05-14

sentative Sims as to whether II
would not be good thing to re-
move all saloons from residential
sections. If saloons were objec-
tlonable in residential sections,
Father O'Rourke said, the resi-
dents there could get rid of them
under the present law by protest
ing over their signatures.
so you think the present law
is ideal?" questioned Mr.. Sims.
Yes; do" replied Father
O'Rourke.
We Judge from the foregoing that
the District of Columbia regulation
of saloons is somewhat similar to
that which prevails in this Territory,
1t being within the power of those
living In proximity to saloon to
close the place IL it becomes obnox-
ious.
According to the testimony of the
Anti-Saloon Leaguers, our present
liquor law is the best this Territory
has ever had. The people engaged
in the liquor business are of the
same opinion.
What possible cause there Is for
upsetting satisfactory condition to
make way for an experiment that
has proved failure wherever tried,
Is not apparent to fair-minded men.

whether they will wait for the re-
turn of the Tax Assessor, and by so
doing run the risk of being classed
as delinquents.
At any rate, the matter is worthy
of discussion. Mr.. Vreedenberg can
not be placed in fault for his alb
sence, and at the same time it would
not be the fault of the people if they
should wait until his return. as 1t Is
probable some of them will do.

of tasteless and extravagant luxury
and whose real delight, whose real
life work, is the accumulation and
use of power in its most sordid and
least elevating form. In the chaos of

prominent as inevitably as the ma
rauder baron became prominent in
the physical chaos of the dark ages. "

What He Saw At
KiIauea

Mr.. G. L. La Rue Of Sacramento,
California, who has travelled exten.
sively around the world, returned
from Hawaii by the s. s. "Nauna
Loa" Tuesday Of this week; in an in.
terview he said:
Yes, l have Just been to the Vol
cano. Was It worth while? Well!
l should think SO; It was worth GO
ing around the world to see; I would
not have missed it for any consider
alton; 1t is spectacular perform
ance which cannot be described; It Is
so awfully fascinating that one can
hardly leave 1t. II my business
would have permitted, would have
remained there week. The wonder
to me Is that your Honolulu people
do not make more of It; they cant
realize the extent of the present ac-
tivity; l understand that hundreds Of
people went up to see the flow of
1907, and that 1t was not bit more
attractive than Kilauea is at the pres
emit time"
Everybody returns from the Vol.
cano with the same enthusiasm, and
yet Honolulu has not awakened to
the fact that a great eruption is tax.
