sold here, most of them from the outside and
shipped here. This is not unexpected. There has
not been time within the memory of the oldest
inhabitant when the laws regulating the liquor
traffic have not been violated They have been
and no doubt being violated here, every day
perhaps; but there are no open saloons. When it
is said that Prohibition has not prohibited, it is
true in relation to some people; but it has prohib
tied the open saloon here, that will not be denied.
Knoxville never has had better more
faithful police force than now. If there is on
the force who may be tempted to close his eyes to
the unlawful sale of liquors in the city, he knows
very we'll that, if he should and if he should be
found out, he would be out of job just soon
as the board that has charge of such things could
meet and take action.
There are fewer arrests being made by this
faithful force for drunkenness, and disorder,
result of drunkenness than there have been for
score of years. There are fewer prisoners in the
county jail. 1t is much thing than for
merly to see an intoxicated man on the streets or
in public place. These some of the results.
No, the people have nothing to change their
minds. They are opposed to the open saloon and
are not thinking of returning to it.

CHATTANOOGA'S POSITION
Why Tennessee's Gate City Serves the Liquor
Interests

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, February 15-(Special
correspondence The stand in behalf of the
liquor traffic which has been taken by the Times
of this city, and the intense activity with which
it is throwing itself into the fight, is perfectly
natural when the situation is understood. Chat
tanooga, in spite of the fact that it contains
large percentage of most excellent people among
its population, has for years been of the
worst saloon-cursed cities in the state of Ten
nessee Occupying the position of railroad center
that it does, with large stretches Of no-licenSe
territory upon every SIDE it has been a distrib-
uting point for liquor shipments and point to
which thousands of people have come for vicious
indulgences
AS a result the liquor interests have practically
ruled the city; have dictated the ctty's morals,
bossed the city government and things gen
orally In few southern cities has there been
less of real sentiment in favor of civic decency at
any point where the saloon and its allies were
concerned.
When Georgia was carried for Prohibition,
Chattanooga found wide open to her big, new
field of profitable wickedness and promptly
1arged the borders of her vice tents. Georgias
bad men came fleeing over the border; Georgia's
liquor firms came here and rented property and
the sentiment of the constituencies business of
the CITY was that all this must be catered to
because it pays"
the Times which has always been a pro-liquor
paper, should take up the big stick in behalf of
the saloon

The announcement was received in
silence. which was broken after stilf-
ness of quite a length by C. II. Cooke,
who suggested that if the signature of
one of those named be secured it ought
to be sufficient, telling why he thought
so. On this a motion was made and
carried.
Ticket Best by Thirty Per Cent.
So far so good and Chairman Judd,
satisfied with the progress made, ad-
dressed the meeting on the plans for
the campaign. He stated that at the
very beginning, the party could con-
gratulate itself on the result of their
convention, study of the names on
the ticket having satisfied him that it
was at least thirty per cent. better
than any ticket any party had placed
in the field at any election in Hawaii
since the beginning of the Territory.
Now the party workers could get shoul-

good scraps and the kind that should
bring the scrappers together now that
they were Overland go through the

SISTER MARIANNE
IS SERIOUSLY Ill

Word has been received from Molo-
kai that Sister Marianne, the Superior
of the Franciscan Sisters at the Set
tlement, is seriously i'll, and fears are
entertained for her recovery. Sister
Marianne and the other members of
her order, who came to Hawaii to de-
vote their lives to the care of the sick
in the Baldwin home for girls in the
Settlement, have been at their post of
dreadful duty now for twenty-five
years. No more heroic life has been
led than that lived for the past quarter
of century by these Sisters, the ma
iority of whom have never left the
Settlement since they first arrived
there and assumed the duty of training
the younger girls and nursing the older
ones and the women in their sickness.
Il have no fear,'' answered the Su-
perior two years ago, when asked by
the representative of the Advertiser
accompanying the legislative investiga-
ting committee to the Settlement if the
dread of contagion did not always live
with her. 81 have no fear / may
have contracted the disease and it may
be in my blood now. But, Gods will
be done. -

A criminal information was filed by
United States District Attorney Robert
w. Breckons yesterday afternoon
against the Haleakala Ranch Company,
charging it with violating the Act of
Congress approved January 26, 1907,
by making a money contribution in
connection with an election to a polit-
ical office.
The fling of the information is in
the nature of test of whether the act
applies to the Territory of Hawaii or
not. 1t is brought on direct instruc-
tions from Attorney General Bona
parte.
The act prohibits any national bank
or any other corporation organized
under or by virtue of acts of Congress
from making money contributions in
connection with any election to a polit-
ical office 1t also prohibits any cor
poration from making a money contri-
button in connection with any election
at which a president of the United
States, a vice president or member
of Congress is elected or to any cleo
tion by a Legislature of United
States senator.
There are two counts in the informa
tion fled. One alleges that the Hale
akala Ranch Company is a corporation
existing under and by virtue of the
laws of the Congress of the United
States. The other alleges that it is a
corporation and made a contribution
in connection with an election at which
member of Congress-, to wit, dele
gate from the Territory of Hawaii, is
to be elected. In this way both pOr-
tions of the act viii be brought to the
judicial test of whether the law applies
in the Territory of Hawaii or not.

Repudiate the Methods of Last Campaign and
Promise One of Business Methods,
Short and Sharp.

No buncombe, no booze and no beer
will be included in the Republican cam
paign program this year This was re-
solved with a chorus of approval at
the meeting of the candidates and the
members of the county committee last
night, the resolution for a dry cam
paign following a speech on the subject
from Senator Charley Chillingworth.
Not only was it resolved not to have
any official booze-barrels, but the can
didates were urged not to take any
private ones to the meeting. Getting
votes by logic and not by liquor will
be given a test.
Many important resolutions were
moved, discussed and approved at last
night S meeting. For one thing, an
economical campaign was planned, and
the candidates and committeeman
pledged themselves to contract no liza,
bilitv for the party to be met out OF
the campaign fund without first hav-
ing secured the approval of the chair
man or the treasurer of the committee.
There was less enthusiasm over this
than over the beer plank, but no one
voted against it. Another important
thing determined upon was to make
the campaign a short one, but hard
one. Lack of the ready coin will ae-
,scount for the brevity of the campaign,
land the fear that the Democrats have
gained strength viii account for the
warmth with which the candidates Will
work on the stump and in the canvass
once they get under way.
The meeting was well attended, near
Nv all the candidates from the nominee
for Delegate to Congress to the list of
candidates for the Board of Supervis-
.ors being present, and the committee
members responded to Chairman
-Judd's call almost to man. Judd
called the meeting to order promptly
on time, explaining later on that he al
WAYS intended to do that. If the cam
Daign was to be run on business lines,
the committeeman and others must
learn the first business rule of pune
tuality. When he called a meeting for
half-past seven he expected everyone
to be on hand at halfpast seven.

tee. the following names being an
