AN OPEN LETTER


Ballot
To the nearly 1000 voters in Ionia
county who voted for local option four
years ago, greeting:
The liquor men we'll know that in the
final roundup in the great fight for their
determination they must face not only the
loyal band of true blue prohibtonists, who
face the enemy 10 the thick of the fight
everywhere and every time and send their
ballots to The "bus eye. but that IN ev-

are opposed to their business because It
opposes all good and true and noble aim
of life Now then we ask each temper
anoe voter to do several things: FIRST Of
all, be sure to register in the April election
as prohlbitionlst. even if you do not al
ways vote with US, because you will thus
throw the weight Of your number to the
side that must win and help make it easier
to win. Tnen please see what is going on
about us-the Portland Review calls
shame on Portland because a dray load
sisting of two minors and one posted
man. and says il speaks we'll for the
judgment of the saloonist that sold the
liquor, doesn't il?' Well, what about the
officials who are to enforce our laws, and
laws that make such things possible, as
there seems to be plenty of loop-holes.
Then so much is made of the arrest Of
the saloon keeper Shumway in Ionia for
keeping open on Washngton's birthday.
Every BODY who was in Iona with eyes
wide open could see that Shumway was
not the only guilty party, but something
! had TO be done and so he was pulled in. -
we'll posteo lawyer told me not long
since that there was not a saloon keeper
in Michigan who could obey the law in
all particulars and make living So that
speaks well for the kind Of laws made and
the kind Of enforcement we have that en-
ables the saloonist to grow fat under this
same law, doesn't it?
But the saloon men have wakened too
one of these fellows in Detroit, who has
been roboIng the poor man Of his bread
and all the comforts all his life, has been

buy liquor with every loaf doled out.
Generous, isn't hep And they have q
campaign of education on, telling us how
drinking will make happy homes, Joyous
wives and cnlIdren that it will make men
industrious, economical. healthy and moral;
that 1t will advance religion and bless the
nation all around. Why, don't you see
that il we only have saloon at every
corner it will bring in the millennium? Now
what does all this mean9 1t means that
victory is near, but you can hasten or

1000 voters who stood solid and voted
for no license four years ago vote the pro

that will sweep every rum-hole out Of

BISHOP RESTARICK.

of his objects was to get the Church
of England to fulfil the promise of
Vancouver. H. NJ. Ship La Blonde,
which brought back the bodies of the
King and Queen to the Islands, had on
board a chaplain, the Rev. Mr.. Bloxam.
On the voyage he baptized the father
of Kamehameha ", Kekuanoa. This
man was living in 1862 and his name
stands on the charter of incorporation
of the Anglican Church, or the Re-
formed Catholic Church, as it was
called
When the ship La Blonde reached
Honolulu occurred the next Church SER
vice to be recorded and the first ser
vice by priest of the Church in these
Islands It was in May, 1925, that the
chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Bloxam, tells
of the landing of the bodies, the pro-
cession to the place of temporary burial
and of the reading of the service by
himself, after which Rev. Mr.. Bingham
addressed the people in Hawaiian.
Thus the first three recorded ser
vices of the Church on these Islands
consisted of those magnificent words of
faith and hope in the burial service of
the Prayerbook; the words said over
king and peasant alike; the words
which Franklin read over his dead COM
rades in the frozen north, and which
Greedy read over his men as they died
one by one IN the Arctic winter; and
which here, amidst the palms and sum-
mer seas, was the first Christian ser
vice heard by the Hawaiian people;
the service from that Book which
Drake s chaplain, Mr.. Fletcher, used in
1879 when he held the first Christian
service in the north Pacific at the time
when the Golden Hinde was beaehed
for repairs outside the Golden Gate.

men, But while contact with foreign
ers generally had an influence in lead
ing to a loss of fear for the gods yet
undoubtedly the memory of Vancouver
their friend, and the constant influence
of such men as Young, Davis, and Par,
ker of Waimea, who had always daily
prayers with his family, these led the
people to see. the hardships of the tabu,
and the folly of their cruel idolatrous
system. Gradually human sacrifices
ceased to be offered and when the great
King died the opportunity came for the
tabu to be broken. It is fortunate that
a white man, Mr.. Parker who had lived
some years near Waimea, saw Kaahu-
manu- when she arose in the presence
of the new King and heard her say
what no one else would have dared to
say: "Let us break the tabu, let US
live as the white man does, the women
eating with the men and partaking of
the same food.
So it was that when the missionaries
of the American Board arrived the peo-
pie had destroyed their idols and
abolished the tabu. But they were not
allowed to land until John Young the
churchman had assured the chiefs that
the Americans came to teach them of
the same God of whom Vancouver had
taught them and in whom he himself
believed. We see then that churchmen

meaning members of the Anglican Com
munion) that Churchmen impaired to
the chiefs their first knowledge of God
and the Churchmen had a chief part in
fostering that change of feeling and
belief which led to the destruction of
idols. No doubt Young and Davis were
among those of whom Dibble speaks as
ridiculing the tabu and challenging men
and women to break it. Ridicule is a
powerful weapon with the Hawaiians,
and they are not slow in observation.
and when they saw Kaoanaeha, John
Young s wife, eating with her husband
and enjoying tabu food without dire
results they would soon lose their faith
IN the whole system.
But even with the missionaries here,
the Hawaiian rulers did not give up
all idea of procuring teachers from the
English Church When Kamehameha
III and his wife went to England one

A GREAT ACTOR

Harold Nelson, the eminent and sue
cessful classic and romantic actor.
who is making his sixth annual starr
ing tour from coast to coast, will be
the attraction at the Grand opera
house on next Friday and Saturday.
The Slave and The Princess" a new
romantic drama which Mr.. Nelson is
featuring this season will be the Of
fering for Friday night. The scenes
of this play are laid in Germany dur
ing the medieval ages, and the story
concerns a young prince named Rup-
ert, who when a child vas sentenced
to death but was spared by the kind
hearted executiOner. He was adopted
at that time by a poor peasant family
who brought him up as their own
child. At the time the play begins,
Rupert has become of age and is a
noted leader and champion of the
working class. He interferes with
some soldiers who are i'll the act OF
hanging an unfortunate peasant man
for some insignificant crime. Is ar
rested and sentenced to death but is
saved from that fate by the Princess
Hilda who exercises her power to
pardon any criminal sentenced 10
death provided the prisoner shall take
his oath to obey her every wish for
a year and a day. Rupert becomes
her friend and councillor and the M
timacy is used for the undoing OF the
princess by those who covet her
throne. At the crucial moment when
Hilda is dethroned, the old execution
er comes foreward and Identifies Ru'
pert as the real prince of Wolfsburs'
and the empire is saved.
In Prince Rupert, Mr.. Nelson mas
a part which fits his ability as d
romantic actor to a nicely. The sup
porting company numbers eighteen
acting people. and Mr.. Nelson carIlss
all special scenery for each one OF u"
plays.
