movement abroad BY attempting to
make prohibition laughing stock.
To counterfeit this influence, the
International Temperance Bureau
has since the BEGINNING OF 1908 main
| tanned regular news service through
its American correspondent on the
subject of temperance and prohibi-
| ton. 1t is aimed to extend this ser
vice to all European publishers who
are accessible to such matter and
thus bring reliable information
abroad with regard to the anti-li-
quor movement in America.
Recently American prohibition
has also fotnd a defender In Europe
| in the person of DR.. Matti Helenius
| of Helsingfors, Finland, who Is now
visiting the leading cities of Europe
and delivering series of lectures on
| the effects OF prohibition in America
and the proposed prohibition in Fin
land. These lectures have now been
given in Vienna, Dresden and Berlin
and were we'll attended, as the speak
| er enjoys quite favorable reputa-
ton in European political and scien-
tific circles.
The lecture on prohibition In
America, which appeared in the May
number of the Alkoholfrage publish
ed at Dresden, Is replete with accur-
ate information, not only on the sue
cessful operation of the prohibitory
laws in Maine and Kansas, but also
beset prohibition In the persons of
faithless officials and in our unjust
interstate commerce laws. In the
fall of 1906 DR.. Helenius was sent to
the United States by the Finnish gov
lernment to study the workings OF
| the prohibitory laws In America. His
lectures now prove that he was a
close observer when he was in this
country. He has not only been in
strumental in the enactment of the
national prohibitory law Of Finland
l(which, however, vet awaits the sig
nature of the Czar,) but his infiu-
ence as an author and political econ
lomist of note Is making itself felt
Throughout northern Europe.

At the city park we found an ideal

suns himself on the banks. birds OF
many kinds. Many animals including
the buffalo, the grizzly bear, and the
lion.
Swings for the children are in con-
slant use all day long, while hun

the seats or lie about on the green
grass, listening to the splendid music
by the band.
At the Oaks park, which is on the

Local Option in Idaho.

There is little doubt, judging from
the trend of elections in Idaho, that
this fall will see a winning anti-sa-
loon fight here in the state. Council,
one of the wettest OF towns, has Just
gone dry; Malad, which ran It a
neck -and-neck for the pennant, mas
done likewise; American Falls Is as
dry as a bone; the Republicans OF
Ada county have declared for local
option, and SO 1t goes over the state.
The Journal has been looking Tor
this. for long time. The temper.
ance wave has been spreading all
over the country, and It has come TO
Idaho at last.
1t is perhaps strange thing, tna'
the western states that have women
suffrage have been the slowest tt
take any action on the question. II
has been asserted from time imme
mortal that, once the women were
given the ballot, the saloon and kin
bred evils would vanish like the dew
of bright summer morn. 1t has mo-
been so, in any Of the universal SUI
frage state. But the change hal

to know to what extent woman SUI

Under Existing Laws it is Possible to
Close Every Saloon In Idaho.

A question has been raised as to
whether or not the state Is not al
ready, in effect, on a local option

books that give county commission
ers, city councils and boards OF trus-
tees in villages authority to refuse to

Europe Hears About Prohibition In
America.

(By Associated Prohibition Press. }
Probably no other American insh-
tuition or characteristic has been so
grossly misrepresented and ridicni-
ed on the European continent as our
Drohibitory laws. The liquor trade
has aimed to forestall a similar

said.
From May z until the last day of
May there had been thirteen drunk
ards arrested in Rockford. For the
corresponding time last year forty
four we're recorded. The city jail
is empty, a condition common now,
but last year unheard of.
A circus day and three weeks OF
hot weather have passed without any
drunkenness being noticed upon the
streets.
These are but few of many in
stances that might be cited, all prov
ing the same thing-that prohibi-
ton, even under disadvantages,
brings a remarkable decrease in
crime.
The liquor trades defenders have
much to say, in many communities,
about the necessity of saloon revenue
for the support Of public schools.
The superior school systems OF
Maine and Kansas are standing re-
futation of this claim. Now comes q
statement resulting from careful
study of the question in state
where the saloon has been gradually
eliminated.
James /. Finney, in the Knoxville
(Tenn.) Sentinel, gives a history OF
the school system and illiteracy IN
Tennessee, in which he shows by
careful statistics that the schools
have improved and illiteracy has de-
creased in proportion to the increase
of prohibition territory In the state.
At the close of the article he says:
Without fear Of successful contra
diction it is here asserted that not
county in Tennessee has closed 9
single school, shortened single
school term or reduced single
teachers salary by reason OF the abo-
lition of the saloons. Every county
in Tennessee has progressed from an
educational standpoint pust in pro-
portion as the war upon the liquor
traffic has been successful.
In view of these facts, which are
sustained by official records easily
accessible to any person, how vain
is the Boosting Of the LIQUOR emissary
that the saloon revenue Is necessary
to the maintenance of the public
schools. Prohibition will mean yet
greater prosperity for our public
schools. Whatever tends to the I'M
provement of the public school IS a
blessing to the state; whatever Inn
pairs them should and must be de-
stroyed.

Shanghai
Situation
Attorney Douthitt Tells Of
Handicap.

Honolulu, August 1S.- Asked re-
garding the situation at Shanghai
with regard to members of his pro-
fession and other Americans, E. a.
Douthitt, the returned attorney,
said this afternoon
Conditions over there are not
suitable for Americans and there
are a good many reasons for that:
One is that Americans have lost
prestige there, and OF course the
action of Judge Whitley in disbar-
ring American lawyers has naturally
had its effect on the Chinese. In
other words, the confidence of the
Chinese population is destroyed al
together 50 far as Americans are con
cerned.
British lawyers have control Of
the situation there and the best
American lawyers can hopc-to gain
is the smaller business, the larger
affairs being handled by the British
practitioners.
Conditions as described are not
only due to the recent loss Of pres
tige by American lawyers but are of
long standing American merchants
there have never attempted to cater
to the Oriental trade. 1t is common
talk in the Orient that, instead of
shipping their goods thither properly
packed, they act as if they thought
any old thing would do. In cohse-
quence the Chinese have consider
ably lost faith in American mer-
chandise. Shanghai is essentially a
British community.
All of the British barristers prac-
tice before Judge Whitley and the
only attorneys who are subjected to
examination are Americans, other
lawyers being admitted on motion
on presentation of their credentials.
If an American lawyer has been adj
mitted to the United States courts
of China he is allowed to practice in
the British courts. But if not ad-
mitted to practice in his own coun-
try's courts of course he cannot be
admitted to practice in the British
Supreme Court, a court of original
jurisdiction.
The Mixed Court is only for cases
in which Chinese are defendants. 1t
is presided over by a Chinese magis-
trate and a foreign assessor who may
be American, British or German.
Where any foreigner is defendant he
has to be sued in his own consulate
AT present the only American
attorneys practicing in the United
States courts for China are Jernigan
q Fessenden, w. II. Heen and w.
5. Fleming, the last two formerly OF
Honolulu.
Americans do not stick by theil
own but mostly employ British law
yers. The Standard Oil and Pacific
Mail Companies have American at
torneys, but most of the business en-

terprises that are started over there
with American brains and capital
have a certain number of British di-
rectors and employ British lawyers,
This course is no doubt with a view
to repairing the lack Of confidence
among the Chinese. "

Tangled
Testimony
Inquest Jury Will Visit
Scene Today.

Honolulu, August lS.-Wlth the
witnesses tangled in their testimony
and unable to tell whether the ac-
cidcnt occurred on one side of the
street or the other, the coroner's jury
empaneled in the case of Lau Kai
Foy, the Chinese boy killed in an
auto accident Saturday afternoon,
adjourned until 5 O'Clock this after
noon to visit the scene of the tragedy.
This is done so that the witnesses
may point out just exactly what oc-
cured when Oscar Whites auto and
the bicycle on which the boy was
riding came together.
The two main witnesses, besides
Mr.. White, were Lum Kwai Foon
and Robert Hebron .Jr. The former,
who was propelling the bicycle with
Lau Kai Foy riding on the handle
bars, is small Chinese, slight of
build and quite young. He stated
that he was wheeling up River street
about four or five steps away from
the Waikiki sidewalk when the auto
and the bicycle collided His testi-
mony from that point was hazy, and
when he said that the auto was be-
tween the sidewalk and the bicycle
as it was struck, and could not re-
member on which side of the auto
the deceased had fallen, it was de-
cided to take bis further testimony
directly on the scene: The boy said
he could see the auto, but had to
look up and over the shoulders of
the boy in front of him.
Robert Hebron said that the acci-
dent took place just at the intersec-
tion of Beretania avenue and River
street, but after stating that the auto
was right close to the bridge at one
time and then that it was close to
the Waikiki sidewalk of River street,
he was also withdrawn from the wit
ness stand, and his complete testi-
mony will be taken on the scene this
afternoon, at which time Mr. White 5
auto will be present, SO that the eX-
act distance can be determined.
Mr. White in giving his testimony
said that he was coming down the
right side of Beretania and turning
into River street toward the Eva side
of that thoroughfare when he saw
the bicycle coming up. He footed
his horn twice and then, noticing
that the bicycle was doubly loaded
and wishing to warn the bicyclist,
who was concealed behind the boy
ON the handlebars, he called out
loudly. When the boy saw the auto
he swerved first to his right and then
to his left, the auto at the time
swinging toward the Eva side of
River street. Then the bicycle and
auto came togo ther, the bike striking
the front right wheel of the machine,
whereupon the boy ON the handle
bars plunged headlong to the street,
, Mr.. White testified that at the mo-
ment of contact his machine was GO
ing perhaps three miles an hour and
was brought to a standstill almost
Immediately.
DR.. Mcdonald, who made the au-
topsy, stated that the boys skull
was badly fractured.
| The inquest was conducted by
Deputy Sheriff Jarrett, with Deputy
County Attorney Milverton assisting
in the examination of witness. In
addition, +. c. Peters was present
in the interest of the deceased's fa-
ther, Lau Tong, and Judge Perry to
represent the interests of Mr.. White
