Whiskey Up-tO-Date

What is whisky today was not whis-
ky SIX months ago. 1t takes much
longer by the usual maturing process
TO change the chemical quality of a
barrel Of liquor than to change ''imi-
tation whisky" into pure whisky by
substituting one official opinion for an
other. Solicitor General Bowers has
overruled DR.. Wiley and former Attor-
ney General Bonaparte, and another set
of legal connoisseurs may override
him. What NAV be whisky when the
next Administration comes into power
nobody can safely venture to foretell.
The day may even be near when the
country will divide between parties of
strict constructionists and loose con-
structionists. In the d Roosevelt
days the Administration dispensed with
the Constitution and made its law as
it went, but Mr.. Bonaparte was a
strict constructionist as to whisky.
All blended whisky; he held, had to be
a combination of TWO straight whis-
kies, and all whisky mixed with other
spirits was merely imitation whisky.
Now the situation is reversed. Con-
servatisn is regarded as the keynote
of the Taft administration, yet MIR.
Bowers takes the good old liberal view
that all whisky is guod whisky, but
some kinds are better than others. So
that there is 1.-THE requisite amount of
by-products of the distillation from
grain rye, corn, wheat, matted bar
ley not potatoes apparently-he finds
no legal objection to the addition of
alcohol and harmless coloring and
favoring matter
In law like whisky, it seems, it is
A matter of personal taste.

Lost in Wonder.

The Chicago Record-HeraId reports
that as. A. Patten and his associates
wound up their campaign in May wheat
with a profit of between three and a
half and four millions. Our legisla-
tors are so amazed at the successes of
the wheat corner and so lost in admira-
ton Of the genius that could engineer
it that they will probably forget the
injustice done to the public and the
demoralizing influence which specuIa-
ton exerts upon those inclined toward
grain gambling How long would it be
before public sentiment will cleanse
the stock exchange, the board of trade
and the chamber of commerce from the
abuses which speculation in the neces-
saries of life have introduced?

The Sex That Needs No Vote.

Sometimes it is found possible so ap-
positely to taste an old truth that it
seems for the purpose new. says the
New York World. A moment Of such
achievement came to Miss Anne Nor
gan on Monday when she spoke at the
opening of the new lunch room. an in
stitution planned by her, for the en-
ployees of the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
"Many of US women" said Miss Nor
gan, do not need the suffrage to
make US loyal and obedient citizens of
the United States.
Being loyal and obedient citizens
means being helpful citizens, as Miss
Morgan was demonstrating at her
moment of speaking. 1t is conceivable
that the power to cast ballot could
have added for her to the quality of
significance Of her work for men?
Rather, knowing how quickly the,ques-
ton of motive enters into practical
politics. is it not likely that as
voter among voters she would have
been subject IN one hand or another to
depreciatory query as to why she
had done this thing?
1t is because Miss Morgan's words
represent the attitude of the majority
of her sex that woman suffrage is not
an accomplished fact all over the coun-
try. The matter is not wholly one of
unselishness. nor of careIessness as to
the issue. The average woman has
that divine sort of selGshness which
exists in a desire to be esteemed for
herself alone, for the attractiveness
and usefulness in her own sphere which
establish for her a beloved personality.
She knows that she can never raise her
value as helpmate by forcing herself
into the position of calculable guam
tity at the polls.

ton question, is much appreciated by
the American government, the resent
ment of the Americans towards this
question is now greatly relieved by this
action.
Americas Policy the ttOpen Door"
Some japanese are startled at Amer
lea IS late financial activity in railway
enterprises in China, but the policy
was not initiated by President Taft; it
was long cherished plan of Mr.. Roos-
evelt. 1t simply means that Mr.. Taft
has carried into effect policy which
Mr.. Roosevelt held as principle, and
it is nothing but the realization of the
policy of the so-called "open door"
and "equal opportunities in China
which was first proposed by America.
America s new activity in China is
promoting it's development. The Japa-
nese must not hold any prejudiees to-
wards this policy of America. Japan
has stuck from the very beginning to
the policy of the "open door" and
"equal opportunities in Manchuria
and every policy of Japan in Manehuria
is undertaken upon the basis of that
principle. Therefor as long as Japan
does not act against that principle in
Manehuria she can secure the sympathy
of the Americans towards her admins
tration in Manehuria.
The Seattle exhibition will no doubt
give chance to japanese to introduce
their products in America and a great
impetus will be given the future trade
between Japan and America.

give opportunity to promote friendly
relation between both nations and

AMERICA FRIENDLY TOWARD
JAPAN, SAYS TAKAHIRA
Returning Ambassador Tells of Present Situation
in Interview Given Out to Toxic Papers
---Open Door.

TOXIC, September 4-Yesterday on
his return from America, Baron Taxa
hira was interviewed by a representa-
tive of the Kokumin:
1t was on February last, the Baron
said, that [ was transferred to America
from Italy, when the anti-agitation was
at high pitch in America and a war
between Japan and America was being
talked about amongst Americans. The
Anti-Japanese feeling lasted for three
months. But by May it gradually abat-
ed, and by the end of July of the same
year it was regarded as mere Stiffness.
The friendly relations between the
two countries is now entirely restored.
The Anti-Japanese feeling was nothing
but result of the agitation by some
Americans who had i'll will towards
Japan and whose agitation proved sue
cessful for while only. The agitators

United efforts by the authorities of
both countries brought to an enc at

Herald's Proposed Alliance Fiasco.
1t was in August last that the New
York Herald undertook movement for
the formation of an Alliance between
China and America, which also had a
bad effect upon the relations between
the Japan and America.
This undertaking was not IN conform
ity with the idea of the majority of
the Americans so that this also ended
in a fasco after an agitation covering
some time.
Thus there is not shred of cloud
upon the horizon at present between
both nations. their friendly and tradi-
tional relations being restored once

Visitors Depart on the
Mongolia for the
Mainland.

"Three cheers for Prince Cupid, -
yelled a group of enthusiastic Congress
men from the main deck of the liner.
Mongolia yesterday morning at 8
0 'clock, as the vessel swung away from
the pier into the harbor basin. And
three ripping cheers were given in Ha-
waiian style, which they learned in
Hilo this way: Hip hipp-p-p-p-p hoo
ray, hip-hip-p-pp-p-p hooray, hip-hip-p-
p-p-p-p hooray.' It was a style alb
solutely new to them and they promptly
annexed it at once and claimed it as
part of the United States just as
much as they do the Islands.
On his part, Prince Kuhio waved his
hand and smiled his acknowledgment
of the tribute paid by his warm adj
mirers among the Congressional delega-
ton. Then came a shower of leis from
the decks-tributes from the Congress
men for both the Prince and the Prin-
cess.
Even Mayor Fern came in for a
share of the enthusiasm, for Represen-
tative Bartholdt leaned over the rail
and said: "Joe, keep right on, you re
doing fine, old man. And His Honor
waved hand upward as if he were
raising a twohundred pound sack of
sugar.
The Congressional people departed
laden with leis, and the ladies also
carried bouquets-and many verbal
ones, too. The members of the party
expressed regret that at last they had
to leave the island shores and return
to the humdrum of mainland life, with
out the exotic bloom of tropical flow
ers, the fun-making, the good times,
the leis, the pretty Hawaiian maidens,
the luaus, and all that has made their
visit so pleasant, but they promised to
give Hawaii helping hand every time
they find her on the floor of the House,
and each promised to he an usher and
escort her to the platform where Speak
er Cannon sits entrenched.
The Hawaiian band was on hand and
a musical send-off was given, conclud-
ing with the singing of Aloha De. When

sung by Madam Alapai, the members
, of the party, almost as one, hushed
their gossip and farewells to listen to

Professional Gambler Nabbed
by Police in Crap
Joint.

George Kaea, the professional gam
bier. who was arrested by an Adver-
tiser reporter with special police powers,
while conducting crap game few
weeks ago in the basement of Bere-
tania avenue building, was arrested at
2 clock yesterday morning for a like
offense. This time he was engaged in
a big game of craps in house near
the government stables in Kakaako. He
was arrested with a number of others,
three of whom are women.
The raid yesterday morning was con-
ducted by Officer Kellett and other
special police. They made sudden
descent upon the players and caught
them in the act of throwing the dice.
The dice, some money and other EVIL
dences of gambling were seized by the
police.
Kaea, on the occasion of his arrest
a few weeks ago, was fined $3.50 by
Judge Andrade, one of the stiffest fines
ever imposed by the district magis-
trate. Willie Vida, Sam Apoliona and
George Kekipi, arrested at the same
time, were also fined $3.50 each. Kaea
has the crap fever and does not hest
tate to go amongst Hawaiians and skin
them of their hard earned wages. Sat
urday and other pay days are favorites
with him, for appearing amongst them
and inducing them to get into game.
He is generally the winner and the poi
and fish bills of his victims generally
go unpaid.
Kaea attempted to run on the Re
publican ticket for the lower house
during the campaign, but his gambling
record was exposed, necessitating him
getting off the ticket. He declared at
that time that he had reformed and
was no longer gambling. For several
months this year he conducted a regu-
lar crap shooting joint, shifting its 1oca-
ton occasionally, when he believed it
was safer to move than get afoul of
the police. The persons arrested were
Kohl, Sam Kappa, Joe Kaaihue, Abra-
ham, David Keawepoo, George Kaea,
Elaika Kawelo (w), Kahokulani (w),
Mrs. Kohl.
