The following address before the
Oahu Association, April Is, 1908, was
made by E. w. Thwing:
Members and Friends of This Asso-
citation: During the next six months,
before another semiannual meeting,
there is to be an active campaign
against the saloon on this island.
Every Hawaiian pastor, every church
member, every father and mother
should let it plainly be known how
the Hawaiian stands on the saloon
question.
The time may not have come yet for
prohibition in Hawaii, that principle
which allows the majority of the peo-
pie to vote the complete downfall of
King Rum. Bot now is the time for
the people of Hawaii to work for
LIBERAL LOCAL OPTION.
A law of this kind permits the COM
munity the district however small, to
decide whether that district shall bear
the burden of the saloon or/not. 1t is
rather hard, we must admit, on the
few temperance people who live in the
poorer districts. 1t puts the saloon
into places where there are but few to
fight against the whole evil. Local
option is the natural and logical prep
aration for prohibition. 1t is fair, be-
cause it gives the people of every 10
calfty. by definite vote, the right to
decide whether the saloon shall ~ or
shall not exist in their district.
We can all plainly see, by numerous
daily examples, that the saloon bust
ness effects the Hawaiian more, per-
haps, than any other of the different
people in Honolulu. What does it do?
1T TAKES HIS MONEY.
In considering local option as to
we shall keep the saloon or
not, think carefully of what this bus
mess does for the Hawaiian. One
thing it certainly does dot takes his

GOOD PROGRESS ON
LEPROsARIUM WORK

Good progress is being made on the
Federal buildings going up in the Set
Element on Molokaf. Superintendent
Jack McVeigh reporting that the work
on the smaller buildings is practically
finished and the concrete foundations
being in for the main Ieprosarium and
the larger laboratory and office build
ings.
Twenty-Five Chinese carpenters are
at work, the only others on the job
being the white superintendent and
the foreman. The Chinese are kept
strictly within the Federal reserve
and appear to be quite satisfied with
their surroundings
The work is being delayed somewhat
just at this time through the non
arrival of lumber. A schooner, bring
ing three hundred thousand feet, is
now loading on the Sound and will
go direct to Kalaupapa to discharge.
She is due about the middle of next
month, allowing her plenty of time to
make the run. This lumber VIII be
RATED ashore from the schooner and

The Hawaiian and the Saloon

missionary work, the giving of the
gospel of Christianity 10 the world, on
" between seven and eight millions of
| money is provided. Is it not time TO
expect a. wave of Prohibition and local
option to stir up the people of the Uni
| teo States?
Should not the Hawaiian also work
hard to lessen this business, that takes
so much of our money and makes the
people poor and unhappy? But, not
only do the large number of saloons
in Honolulu rob the poor Hawaiian of
his money, it also
TAKES HIS HEALTH.
No one can deny the fact that the
presence of liquor and the sale of in
drink in Hawaii has done
much to bring sickness, weakness, and
continued i'll health 20 many of the
Hawaiian people. The saloon, to
large extent, has so taken away the
strength of the natives Of the Islands,
as to make them unable to withstand
the attacks Of the various diseases that
have visited Hawaii.
As I look into your faces, it makes
me feel sad to think how many noble,
fine looking, and even white-haired
men of your people, have been made
weak and miserable by the curse of
drink The Hawaiians are truly said
to be the finest race of all those found
in the islands of the Pacific. When I
think of your great King, Kameha-
meha, and the victories he gained,
with his following of strong, stalwart
Hawaiians, it seems too bad that King
Rum should have been allowed to come
here and make a strong people weak.
But the saloon does still more harm
to the Hawaiian.
IT TAKES HIS LIFE.
Compare the Hawaiian population of
fifty years ago with the number of ma
tives living today and note how year
by year the numbers have dwindled.
For how much of this decrease is the
saloon responsible? A careful study
and investigation of this question
would give an argument certainly not
in support of the saloon. On the diff
serent islands of this group, I have
seen many deserted Hawaiian homes, !
with the te1l-tale black bottle left to
show what has come in to ruin and
destroy these happy homes. I told the |
school children yesterday a |
story of
THE BLACK BOTTLE FOE.
The story shows that where you
find the black bottles coming, the Ha-
waiians will soon have to go. Should /
we not all fight the saloon? Will not !
every Hawaiian in this city and |
the island work for local l
option law? 1t is a fair proposition. |
It gives to you, each one, chance to
vote definitely for or against the sa-
loon near your own home. Let no one
deceive you and lead you to believe
that the saloon is a necessary evil. 1t
Is not SO and should be largely de-
creased. Let us all join heartily in
this coming campaign.
The chairman of the meeting then
said: I'VE are glad to have these new
IDEAS to stir us up. 1t is the best
thing for our association to have these
matters brought before us every time
we meet, to help us all to work more :.
for the good of our people,"

DOING GOOD WORK.

Several women's clubs of Ida
no are doing a good work in as
sisting to clean up and beautify
their home towns. If not ac-
tually engaged in this work,
they are cooperating with the
authorities in bringing it about.
Among the women's organiza-
tions that are active in munich
pal improvements, are the CO.
lumbian club of Boise, Forward
of Twin Falls and those of Ida
no Falls, Weiser and Mountain
Home. Quite likely others in
the state are equally so. In
fact, women are usually active
and often foremost in the vii
lage Improvement and similar
associations. It's a good thing
that they are, because their
natural aptitude for tidying up
and their good taste in such
matters, makes them valuable
aids in such a movement.

permit the village to have the

account of various difficulties
between the company and the
village last year in connection
with the use of the water for
that purpose, it was a rather
difficult matter to renew the ar
rangements for this season and
for some little time it has look

somewhat different from those
of last season, it being the in
tention of the company to
avoid as far as possible all
chance for trouble in the fu-
ture. In order that the water
may be taken the village must
put in and maintain separate
tap, with meter, on the stand
pipe now being used by the
company to supply its engines.
Through this tap it will be al
lowed to draw such water as it
needs, not exceeding 20 tanks,
or 10000 cubic feet, per day, at
the price of 25 cents per 1000
cubic feet. If this proposition
is accepted by the board, the
streets of Mountain Home will
soon be in much better shape
tnan at present, and business
men will note the effect on the

stores with pleasure.

COUNTY BOARD
CONSIDERS ROAD
Matter Of Atlanta Road Up for
Decision, and Viewers Are
Appointed.

Monday was the day appointed
by the laws of the state for the an
nual road meeting of the County
Commissioners, but at the appoint
ed hour the only member OF the
Board on hand was ii. +. Shelton,
of Pine. Yesterday morning, how.
ever, j. J. McGinnis of Glenns

at 9 o'clock the session was regu.
ularly opened.
The first business on hand was q
conference with Messrs. Purtill and
Helfrich, representing the Com
merclal Club, regarding the pro-
posed Atlanta. Mountain Home
road. This took the shape of an
informal discussion of ways and
means, there seeming TO be no dis
position on the part OF the Board
to delay the construction OF the
road, provided way could be
pointed out whereby it could legal
ly proceed in the matter. The
Commercial Club committee repor-
ted that the Forest Reserve othc-
ials had already agreed to stand
half of the cost of the road, which
they estimated to come to about
$500 or $4,000. Their request of
the Board was for an appropriation
of 81 800, with the understanding
that if the cost of the work turned
out to bs over $500, the CONNER.
cial Club would make up the diff
ference. 1t was pointed out by the
County Attorney, however, that
the Board could not appropriate
over 81 700 without special pc.
tition signed by two.thirds OF the
tax payers, which would take so
long to get that no road would be
made this year 1t was decided
finally TO appoint three viewers to
go over the proposed route and
have them report at special meet
ing of the Board on the 25th of
this month, and then at that time
decide what further action to take.

A FABLE FOR GROWN-UPS.

One upon a time there dwelt in
The hills a man looked upon by the
people round about as sage,
They often came to him for advice
upon different questions which
arose among them His hobby
was land, and his advice to the
young man, the old man, and in
fact every body was, "Get piece of
land"
Now, it came to pass that q
learned doctor came to live in this
town in the hills and he went out
in search of suitable piece Of
land. Having found a particular
ly fine section he determined 10
his mind to get it. But his good
wife thought it best to make haste
slowly, and see drs! il his friends
would agree with him on the char
acter OF the land. "Oh," said the
doctor, ~ will take with me my
friend Kay who knows land and
who writes for the paper. He is
wise, and / believe what he says"
Therefore, on the day following,
the learned doctor procured team
and carriage and drove out with
his friend Kay to see the land.
His judgment was confirmed by
Kay who loudly praised the doc.
tors choice. "You are following
the advice of the sage" said Kay.
at is indeed pleasure to have 80
learned a doctor in our town. !
will write you up in the paper"
Supremely happy, and so sure Of
this good man Kay, the doctor dis.
closed his plans for getting the
land. Kay listened 80 attentivelv,
always with fattering smile and
word Of praise for the doctors wise
plan and good fortune.
They turned homeward, and at
parting the doctor could not find
words to thank this kind, smiling
friend, Kay. He went home to
his good wife and together they be-
gan to make plans for the future,
when this valuable land would be
theirs.
Early in the morning the learn
ed doctor sought out the lawyer
who was TO sell him the land.
But the lawyer laughed, "Kay
came in last evening and bought
the land, my friend"
The learned doctor could but 60
on his way wondering in his heart
if there were anywhere on earth
man be might trust. Now, the
