casional drink of spirits because
some other people can not control
their appetites. There arc many
others who do not drink at all, but
who object to prohibition on princi-
pie.
Prohibition violates the Demo
cratic doctrine of local option ano
local home rule. 1t is sometimes
argued that the state has perfect
light to enforce prohibition against
The wishes of the people in certain
sites just as it has a right to enae'
law against crime. But i mus
oe remembered that it is not
rhine to take a drink or to max
ind sell liquor. Many of the bes
and greatest men in the world hav
drank alcoholic liquors. Just a.
many of the worst people havj
been total abstrainers. 1t take
something more potent than glass
of liquor to change a mans char
acter or to deprive him of his soul.
The Turks are the most consistent
prohibitionists in the world: yet
certainly they can not compare in
morality, righteousness or charac-
ter with Anglo-Saxon people.
Another reason why prohibition
can not ultimately succeed is be-
cause its advocates are utterly in
temperate il their abuse of those
who object to prohibition because
of the principle evolved or be-
cause they are not satisfied that it
is a practical remedy. For instance,
if one conscientiously opposes pro-
hibition he is apt to be denounced as
the friend of whisky or the tool of
the whiskey ring. But this sort of
argument will satisfy nobody in
the long run. Too many men high
in the church have placed them
selves on record as opposed to pro-
hibition to justify even the most
fanatical prohibitionists in aseailing
the motives of those who oppose
prohibition.
No doctrine viii live that can
not stand the test of reason. 1t
can not live on emotionalism. Of
course the evils of drink are not to
be denied, and we cannot too per-
sistently insist upon the practice o.
temperance. There is, however.
only one way to promote temper
ance and that is by moral suasion.
And when the law is drawn on for
purposes of this kind, respect for
the law is apt to be generally
weakened. Commercial Appeal.

WILL PROHIBITION ENDURE?

Prohibition is attracting a great
deal of attention in this country
both in the North and in the South.
From being a purely economic
question, it has been transmitted
into a political issue and given also
a religious aspect. Prohibition
aims at the determination of all
liquors through the prevention of
their manufacture and sale. lthas
been tried in various states for
more than a half a century, and
nearly all the states that have
tried it for any length of time have
abandoned it. So far it has sue
ceeded in exiting the saloons from
some localities, but it has only
changed the place OF sale and man
ufacture. Although maps have
been printed in many periodicals
showing that about three-fourths
of the country is dry, this dryness
is more apparent than real. The
old fashioned saloon has been driv-
en- out, but the people have not
quit drinking. The last report Of
the Internal Revenue commission
shows that more Intoxicating liquor
was drunk in this country per cap
tia during the last fiscal year than
ever before in the history of the
republic. Reports from the same
Office show that United States Ii
censes have been freely issued in
the prohibition states.
Prohibition has succeeded in
driving cut many saloons, but it
has not reduced drinking or drunk
enness. At present, however, it is
the rage. and it has drawn the poll
ticians into the stream and it is.
therefore, not easy to say where it
will stop. 1t has carried in several
Southern states. but it has also
failed to carry in several.
We do not believe that it can be
permanently successful because it
violates too many principles that
the average American holds dear.
First, it is subversive of personal
liberty There are many millions
OF people in this country who want
something to drink, and the pains
they take to get it in dry territory
shows that the appetite for it is not
going to be stified by legislation
Some of them doubtless drink more
than they have any business to
but these peopls are not apt to Re
cured by law. Many do not drink
to excess and these can see nc

prived of their hser or wins or oc-

PEARL HARBOR WAGE RATE
AND LABOR CITIZENSHIP

The wages to be paid on the work
at Pearl Harbor, preliminary to the
real work which will begin after the
recommendations of the board to meet
here in July, have been agreed upon.
This was done yesterday by a board
appointed by the Commandant of the
Naval Station, Captain Rees. The
board was composed of Lieutenant
Commander J. F. Carter, Civil Engin-
eer c. w. Parks and Pay Clerk
Thomas Dunn, and it was decided that
the ruling rate paid here at the present
time for skilled and unskilled labor
would be adopted. This recommended
ton was sent to Washington, and
there is every chance that it VIII be
approved Seven men who will go to
work tomorrow, with the men who
were brought down here by the gov
eminent, were employed yesterday.
These are all needed for a while, but
if it is found that more are needed for
the work which must be finished be-
fore the arrival of the fleet, they will
be employed. There is, so far, no I'M

| things at Puuloa. The experiences
with the Chinese storekeepers of the
vicinity have been very exasperating
to some of the party, especially to one of
the men who wanted a drink of water.
He went through all the sign manual
that stood for a drink of water, but
the willy pake thought that he was
after a drink of liquor and so refused
to understand the malihini. Several
new kinds of thorns and two distinct
ly new breeds of busy bees have been
discovered in the work. This is vouch-
ed for by one of the surveyors.
Amicable arrangements have been
made by the engineer and the Homo
lulu plantation regarding the work of
the surveyors in the cane fields, so that
there now will be no hitch from that
source There is still in allegiance the
transportation of the men on the work.
The rate as charged by the o. r. & L.
Co. is thought to be a trifie higher
than is warranted in view of the i'm
mense amount of work to be done by
the railroad in the matter of hauling
and the great good to inure to the
company by the establishment of the
ward and dock at Pearl Harbor. A
scheme for the transportation of the
workmen partly by rail and partly by
water is in the mind of the chief en-
gineer, and it will probably be worked

the proposal for a chartered steamer

to carry that number on the regular
mail steamers would mean overcrowd-
ing.

here. that could be managed. While
not speaking with authority, he had
no doubt the trustees of Oahu College
would support him in the offer of the
dormitories and dining-room facilities
of Oahu College. These could accom-
modate about 100. A number also
might be accommodated in private
families.
Mr.. Horne spoke of a suggestion by
H P Wood that something might be
done with United States transports.
L. a. Thurston agreed fully with
what President Griffiths said, and Of
fered the following resolution, which
was adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
meeting that a reply to the letter of
DIR. L. o. Howard, Permanent Secre-
tary of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, dated
May II, 1908, stating that an invita-
ton had been received for the associ-
alton to hold a meeting in Hawaii in
the summer of 1910. which invitation
had been tentatively accepted pro
vided suitable arrangements can be
made" and wherein he asks certain
questions, be replied to, as follows:
First-That the invitation to the as
ISOLATION to come to Hawaii is one
which the people of the islands gener-
ally and heartily approve.
Secondhand the association will be
more than welcome.
Third-That committees on reception
and arrangements can and will be
formed, consisting of the leading peo-
pie of the Territory; that it is our
belief that special expressions to this
effect will be formally adopted at an
early date by all the leading scien-
tific educational. commercial, political
and social organizations in Hawaii.
Fourth-That entertainment at Homo
lulu will be furnished free to a large
proportion of the members of the as
ISOLATION. and at greatly reduced rates
as to the remainder of them.
Fifth-That the question of trans
portation offers the greatest problem
in connection with the invitation. AS
to this point it is the belief Of this
meeting that this problem can be
solved satisfactorily.
It was decided that those persons
invited by the Acting Governor to this
meeting. together with A. Gartley and
r. 6. Hosmer. who had become in
terested in the matter in Washington,
be created an organization to have
charge of the project. The officers

excommunicated by Bishop Restarick
was offered the Advertiser yesterday
but declined on the ground that it is
untrue. Tesla has simply been sus-
pended, with permission to come 20
communion any time that he declares
himself free of malice towards the
Bishop and clergy of the Episcopal
church in these islands. No excom-
muuication is involved, as the matter
is a small and not unusual one of
church discipline.
