that the subsequent suit by the Chin

dence that his statement against Mr..
Cathcart is not a lie made out of whole

Everyone who has read the further
charges against him must be convinced
on the ordinary rules which govern the
conduct of us poor humans that the
stories are not "lies made out of whole

are such as to indicate clearly that
something occurred on which the stories
are based.
MIR. Cathcart will not be elected Coun-
ty Attorney. The feeling among the
electors that he is unworthy is too deep
and strong to be overcome by the fill
ing of suits for damages. 1t is safe
to predict that they will never be tried.
If Mr.. Cathcart is thoroughgoing
Republican and desires the success OF
his party, he will withdraw before he
wrecks the whole ticket. 1t seems to
me now that only by such withdrawal
can he prove that he is a faithful Re.
publican and thereby gain the respect
of those who believe in patriotism
which is willing to suffer wrong rather
than imperl the success of great
party at the polls.

Editor Advertiser: Sometimes /
think that the only safe, way to get
into newspaper is to put yourself
there over your signature and in no
other way.
Looking over the papers for the past
few days, it seems as if there ought
not to be any margin for misunder
standing, but there has been and many
have been the questions addressed to
me as to my connection with, and posi-
tion in, the Cathcart matter. If possible
will define it.
Cathcart brought an action in equity
for Palea and Kaupe against client
of mine, Meleana Davis, to cancel a
deed AS / had to go to the Coast ]
secured the assistance of Mr.. Carl
Smith, in Hilo, to attend to the case
up there. On my return, in June, 1901,
1 was surprised to hear that the case
had been compromised for $500, which
l was to pay to the plaintiffs through
their attorney, Mr.. Cathcart. AS had
been informed that the case was
"put up job'' by Mr.. Goo Wan Hoy,
was naturally loath to settle, hoping
something might arise to get at the
merits and avoid the payment. So l
deferred payment as long as possible.
ATaonN,,,,a f.
count, let Mr.. Cathcart have 1926 on
account of the $500, which was paid
back to him out of the final settlement
Oct. "a, 1901. From that time until
now have heard nothing of the whole
affair, excepting that when Mr.. Goo
Wan Hoy came in several years ago to
find out about the case, l told him it
was settled and showed him the re.

STRUCK CLERK
(From Wednesday Is Advertiser.)

(From Wednesdays Advertiser.)
Honolulu attorneys have had much
to do with the publicity given the law
court of Judge Wiley at Shanghai, and
news by the Manchuria yesterday indi-
Gates that they are still keeping the
judge in the limelight.
a newspaper man named Hollis, who
has been in Shanghai for some time,
passed through on the Manchuria yes
terday, and he related to Attorney
Douthitt, recently returned from
Shanghai, a story to the effect that W..
L. Fleming, formerly Deputy Attorney
General of Hawaii, had a fstic alterca-
tion with Mr.. Hinkley, the clerk of
Judge Wilhey's court, and Hinkley got
the worst of the encounter,
Hollis states that Fleming had per-
mission from WilAey to look over the
law books and records in the clerk IS
offire, One day he went into the Office
and was looking them over when Hink-
ley said he was not permitted to do so.
Mr.. Fleming replied that he had per
mission, whereupon Hinkley laid his
hand on Fleming and tried to pull him
away. Fleming retorted with an upper
cut, followed by a full-face blow, which
sent the clerk sprawling on the floor.
No court publicity was given the in
cident, it being closed by Judge vii
fey, who prevented case being taken
into the court.

FROM The Tribune, AZoona, Pa.
One of the most cruel libels ever
perpetrated upon an industrious, law
abiding and home-loving people is the
story, now hoary with age, that Ameri-
can citizens of German birth or descent
are unanimously opposed to the passage
OF any law restricting or prohibiting the
liquor traffic 1t is not a diff
cult matter to get few citizens of
German extraction together and have
them send out to the world Nominations
in the interest of the drink traffic in
the name of the German people resident
in Our country. But they are like the
three tailors of Tooley street-they ar
rogantly assume the right to speak for
others without obtaining leave.

NIT to offspring not only epilepsy and
mental defect but marked degeneracy
and criminal propensity-is assuming
proportions so appalling that it may
justly be regarded as perhaps the great
est existing menace to the stability OF
American institutions"
DR.. Quackenbos holds pronounced
views of the patent drug evil in its re-
lation to the drink evil. He says:
MANY women have lapsed into the
drink habit from the use of patent medi-
clnes containing large percentages OF
alcohol. Many clergyman can date
his downfall from his first dose of Ia
maica ginger. The step from disguised
BOOZE upon which $75,OOOOOO are an
nually expended, to whisky, the main
constituent of all these compounds, is
more than easy"
The Doctor expresses highly inter
esting views of the character of the
liquors commonly sold He believes
both the spirits and the beer furnished
the American public to be rank poisons
by authorizations of the most malicious
sort. He says:
Our drinking population are consurn-
ing everything but pure whisky, pure
wine, pure beer What we drink is a

consumption being greatly in excess of
the ability of the brewers and distilers
to produce the genuine liquors, notorious
authorizations are reSorted to-
The beer drinker of this country has
to run the gauntlet of various preserv-
atlves, especially formalin with its de-
structive action on all organs; of arti-
flclal bitters, like salicin, strychnia and
aloes; of the we'll known excito-motor
p1crotoxln, the active principle of COG
culus 1ndicus, which has narcotic as we'll
as stimulating properties, and is used to
lmpart both bitterness and readiness;
and of grains of paradise, or malaguetta
peppercorns, which give hot strong fla
vor and provoke thirst so that the more
beer the consumer drinks the more he
wants"
Nor does DR.. Quackenbos hold any
better opinion of the honesty of those
who sell whisky. He says:
"Of every hundred drinks sold in the
United States as whisky, today, only
one is really whisky, but so clever is the
counterfeit that club connoisseurs have
failed to detect it. Anylic ether, or the
common whisky of trade, is the deaths
river setting in resistless current toward
murder, robbery, paresis and the
asylum"

most urhnviting field from temperance
We are entirely willing to put the results
of the prohibited saloons of that state
against the record of the regulated sa-
looms of Rochester and let the facts
answer for the failure or success of
Prohibition.
The good times and prosperity which
we are told follow in the wake of the
saloon seem to have reached both Our
county almshouse and Our penitentiary
here in Rochester. They we're never in
a more fourishing condition than they
are today; every ward and cell is re-
ported occupied by some product Of the
saloon Sixty-seven thousand dollars
were spent by the public charity COM
missioner of the city alone in relieving
the distressed indoor poor, all of which
makes good business for the taxpayers,
and provides for additional help in the
charity department of the city.
Drunken John Haag's eight little chill
dren, reported only yesterday to the
poor commissioner, have been sent TO
the city shelter; while the man, who
draws SIS a week when he is sober, will
county's expense.
Prohibition would seriously cripple
this growing industry so closely allied
to the saloon.
Look at Prohibition Maine The Ell
tire population of all the almshouses in
the state is 1852, while we have AT for
this county alone, which, before the WIN
ter is over, will reach the $50 cared for
a year ago.
The killing industry is also prosper
ing in connection with our 600 saloons
We had in this city four times as many
murders last year as Prohibition Maine
reported for the whole state, and it took
twenty-four years for Portland to come
up to our murder record for last year
alone, which in proportion to population
should cover our record every four
years.
All the county prisons in Maine re-
ported 4,483 prisoners for 1906; and
Maine reports "a prisoners for the en-
tire state received at the state prison;
we sent from this county 38 convicted
criminals to the state prison at Auburn,
81 to the penitentiary, and 26 to the FL
mira reformatory, worse criminal rec
ord for this one saloon county with a
quarter the population than the whole
state of Maine!
One of two things must be true, either
Prohibition to a very considerable ex-
tent prohibits, and in the absence of the
saloon the people of Maine are more
sober and more prosperous than their
neighbors, or Prohibition results in in
creasing the consumption of drink, and
because Maine drinks more whisky and
is more drunken, she has more homes,
more schools, more money in the bank,
and fewer men in the poor house and
jail SO that in either case Prohibition
is blessing to the people-sober or

lished in some of the papers here last
week, attracted good deal of atten-
ton to the subject of drinking among
women and kindred topics.
DR.. Quackenbos is man of high
ability and much prominence in med
zeal and literary circles Born in 1s4s,
he graduated from Columbia at the age
of 20, from the New York College Of
Physicians and Surgeons three years
later, and has spent his life in the prac-
tice of medicine and in literary work.
He has held PROFESSIONAL positions in
both Columbia University and in Bar
nard College and has written more than
twenty books upon a wide range Of lit
erary, historical, medical and religious
subjects.
Interviewed for The National ProM-
| bitioniSt, DR.. Quackenbos spoke with
much emphasis upon interesting phases
of the drink question. 1t needs to be
understood that his views are not those
of a reformer or temperance enthusi-
asst. He looks at the whole subject al
most purely from the medical and scien-
ti6c standpoint
The Doctor said:
The growth of the drink habit among
women IS alarming. | have treated
women whose weekly bill for cham
payne alone was $500 and who filled UP
the intervals between their draughts of
vintage wine with cocktails and high
balls.
THE punch bowl figures at all func-
tons and women dip freely therein, ten
drinking today where one drank a dozen
years ago. School misses and college
girls are conspicuous among the throng.
One New York clergyman recently in
stanced the case of a luncheon given in
New York at which twenty-four debit
tantes drank thirty-six bottles of cham
payne, while fifteen of them smoked
seven dozen cigarettes While having
no personal knowledge of that instance,
| am ready to believe it from what |
know of other cases.
Girls in their teens see no impropri-
ETY. in drinking publicly with men com
panions. The abstinent, unobtrusive
young woman of the past generation is
giving place to a girl of very different
character
eff, as some one has said, the moral
interests of the nation are in the hands
of women, the situation is serious, for
the only way by which women can lead
them straight is to be straight them
selves"
The Doctor was equally emphatic in
the matter of drinking among children.
He said:
mot few of our school children,
Also have become beer drinkers, espe-
cially those of foreign birth, and the
increased prevalence of this habit is
leading to mental sluggishness, if not
defect, among the pupils of the public
