PUBLIC OPINION
ABOUT PlNKHAM
Continued from Page One,

fall at which some new senators are
to be elected would have something to
do with it. But in general there was
an almost universal feeling that there
was not much probability OF his nomi-
nation being confirmed in view of the
attitude of the native Hawaiians to-
ward him.
1t was stated that Secretary Mott
Smiah had made inquiries among his
friends as to who they thought would
be an available successor and this was
looked on, wherever it was heard, as
indicating that Governor F'rear perhaps
did not intend to have his administra-
ton handicapped by the constant dan
ger of International complications or
local political turmoils. It was also
said that Governor Frear had sent for
the original documents relating to
some of the matters out of which had
grown some of the tangles which had
to be Strengthened out before the ordi-
nary course of administration Of health
affairs could be renewed.
In short the part of the public which
was not absolutely bound by the action
of the trustees of the Chamber Of Com
merce and the Merchants Association,
seemed yesterday to be taking its sober
second thought, and there was every
where evidence that the appointment
of a capable man TO succeed President
Pinkham. would be accepted by the
community as the best guarantee of
peace with efficiency in the administra-
ton of the health affairs.
Members of the Ministerial Union and
the Civic Federal ton said there was
plenty doing.

Uncle Joe Cannon was forced to re-
n7ouId the District of Columbia COM
mittee of the House by putting every
! brewery Congressman on it 20 keep
down prohibition for the national CAPT.
tai. But even Uncle Joe is susceptible
TO the influence of temblor which the
seismographs say originates somewhere
near Vermillion county, Illinois.
I'm fact, with the expectation of New
York. Chicago and Boston and the
states west of the Rockies, every part
of the country recognizes that the
saloon is real issue in politics. The
politicians know it and are trimming
their sails accordingly. OF course the
-duestion is one Tor state legislation, but
no man can say how long Congress, a
rural body let it be remembered, will
feel safe in turning a deaf ear TO the
clamor for surrender of federal inter-
state supervision of liquor shipments
to the individual states. If that sur
render is made the jug-trains will stop
and Dixie Land will be as dry as the
Sahara Then, too, there is the chance
that Congress may do a little prohihi-
ton stunt on its own account so far
as the territories are concerned-a
chance which concerns Hawaii.
Those unobservant persons who are
wont to class all preachers in politics
as senseIess fanatics would do Well to
consider the attitude of the preachers
who are leading the Anti-Saloon fight.
Just at this time they are not trying
to extend their victories with fanatical
zeal. In many places they are doing
their utmost to stem the prohibition
tide. They have adopted the policy Of
opposing prohibition in any community
where public sentiment is not so fully
educated to their view that enforce
ment of the law is assured in advance.
MANY of the politicians who have
seized upon the anti-saloon sentiment as
a tide to lead them on TO fortune are
shouting for the enactment of prohibi-
ton laws. The preachers of the Anti
Saloon League don't care a rap about
a law unless it is to be enforced.
Powerful influences are at work to
induce the two great parties to take
a stand on the question. Probably
neither the Republican nor the Demo-
cratic platform will refer to the ques-
ton, but it will figure in the campaign
lust the same Remember that William
Randolph Hearst is an avowed foe of

CEN. PRATT To SPEAK
On HIS INDIAN WORK

The young mems cabinet of Central
with the men of St. Andrews conduct
ed the noon meetings this week sue
cessfully, are planning a mass meet
ing for men for next Sunday evening.
Brigadier General Richard Fl. Pratt,
former principal of the Carlisle Indian
school, has consented to speak on his
many experiences with the indians and
will detail matters of vital interest
concerning the educational work
among these people.
Most men know of Americas CEN
fury of dishonor in the treatment of it's
Indian wards through the vivid and
truthful presentation of Helen Hunt
Jackson. General Pratt can tell the
other and brighter side. His insight
into Indian character has been SO deep
and his experience SO varied and
crowded with incidents, gay as well
as grave, that he is eagerly sought on
the mainland as a speaker on these
questions. Always a central figure at
the Mohonk conferences, an ardent

The cabinet proposes to make the
occasion as delightful as possible. Spe-

the interest In this connection not

membership of Central Union church
