convention yesterday at Faneuil Hall.
named its state ticket. headed by former
state Senator James H. Valley of Water
town. and adopted a platform of party
principles. Two men formerly enrolled in
the republican ranks were named in the
ticket. These so-called liberal republi-
cans are Engene n. Foss of Scituate. for
many years the foremost member of the
reciprocal wing of the republican

Clark, Wiliamstown.
For treasurer and receiver general
James II. Bryan. Westfed
For attorney general-Harvey n. Shep-
ard of Boston.
For auditor-Alexis Boyer, .jr. of South
Bridge.
The party leaders feared-in vain as it
proved-that the refusal of Mayor John
T. Coughln of Fall River to withdraw his
ton in opposition to Mr. Vahey might
cause a split In the convention, but Mr..
Coughlin took his defeat gracefully. and
promised Mr.. Valley and the party the
unqualified support of himself and fol-
lowers in the coming state campaign.
Platform Is Brief.
The platform. which was an unusually
brief document, declared in favor of an
immediate reduction Of the tariff on the
necessaries of life, a reciprocal trade
treaty with Canada; the support of only
such candidates for public Office as are
pledged to the ratification Of the consti-
tutional amendment favoring an income
tax; the election of United States sena
tors by popular vote and direct nomina

CITIZENS WILL
QUARRY ROCK

Road Supervisor Wilson will want
thirty-five extra laborers tomorrow.
Henceforth there viii be no more terri.
torial prisoners available for work in
Moiliili quarry and citizens labor will
have TO be engaged in their stead.
Some time ago High Sheriff Henry
gave notice that, after the end of July,
he would withdraw all prisoners from
the quarry, and yesterday afternoon the
lunas drew their last money from the
county.
Heretofore there have been from for
ty,fve 10 fifty prisoners available for
work at Moiliili quarry. These will now
be PUT TO work on Tantalus road and
other territorial work. Wilson believes
that thirty-fye citizens can do as much
work ms the prisoners ever did, and
he win employ men on that basis.
As the rock from Moiliili quarry IL
needed right along for road work, there
can be no shutting down Of work at
the quarry, and tomorrow morning
bright and early, Wilson will secure his
new men aud put them to work.

"We believe that if the Young men

and see how well it works.
Miss Mary Jameson declared that
members of the club are "iust CON
ceited enough to believe they can exert
more influence over the men than their
married sisters do.
'lf the men really think anything
of us-that is, enough to make it in
teresting,' she added, "why, they will
grant our request without much argu-
ment.'
1t is announced that the club will be-
gin its campaign in short time, and
1t is expected to have not less than five
hundred members before the close of
the summer.
Rev. DR.. William j. Hindley, pastor
of Pilgrim Congregational church and
chaplain of the Spokane Chamber of
Commerce, said he believes the time is
near at hand when man will be COM
PEELED to give the woman he marries
not only equal rights, but also an as
surance of future protection and care
in the form of life insurance.
If the girl suffragists stand pat
on their declaration said William b.
Malloy, voicing the sentiments of the
liberal element of bachelordom in Spo-
kane, "they will be playing a winning
game, but 1 do not believe all will see
it in that light
Lewis R. Horton, one of the resigned
bachelors, said he was under the i'm
preston that most of the men would
take change of venue and try an
other court of appeal, while his ste
nographer, Miss Mildred vordell, gave
this statement:
eff they keep up that game, they'll
be lonesome bunch of girls in short
time. L don't believe that marriage
has degenerated into a political bar
gain just yet. I'll bet there ISM one
girl in the club that would cast a real
lover aside even if he doesn't SUBJ
scribe to the suffragists' cause
H. H. Moore, boys secretary of the
Young Mems Christian Association of
Spokane, gave out typewriter state
| ment, as follows:
81 do not believe that a girl who
will reject man for suffrage prom
Use like the one exacted by the College
| Club would make a very good wife for
| any man. l am not afraid of equal
suffrage, and have little or no SYM
| pathy for the cause. / do not believe
| | could be won on even a trick like
that. Another thing is that / do not
believe promise of that kind would
hold good after marriage, anyway. 1t
would be easily broken.''
Charles II. Muehlman, manager of an
amusement enterprise, said he hopes
that girls will not decide to form a
union and declare a strike, adding that
if the average girl is anything like he
believes her to be she will not hold
long to the conversion idea. 1t might
be the men will do the converting.

NO LIQUOR LICENSES ARE
ISSUED BY u. s. GOVERNMENT

There is no such thing as a, Federal
license to sell liquor, according to a
statement made yesterday by Collector
Walter f. Drake. All this talk about
Federal licenses has no foundation, be-
cause there are no licenses. All that
the government issues is a special tax
stamp, and its issuance implies an obi
cation already incurred by the one to
whom it is issued, not an obligation to
be incurred If man starts some time
in July, for instance, to sell liquor and
the Collector hears of it, he sends one
of his deputies out on August / to
collect the special tax, and upon pay
ment the special tax stamp is issued
If the dealer wants to do so, he can
pay up his tax for year in advance,
but he does not get license. All he
gets is the special tax stamp. And this
stamp expressly states on it's fee that
its possession is no license to sell liquor
and does not exempt the holder from
any penalties provided by state, county
or municipal governments for the sale
of liquor.
1t is because of this fact, says Col
lector Drake, that the efforts that have
been made and are still being made by
the prohibitionists, anti-saloon leaguers
and others opposed to the sale of liquor
to induce Congress to pass an Act pro.
hibiting the issuance of Federal licenses
in communities where the sale of in.
toxicants is prohibited by the local law
| have failed and will continue to be un-
successful. The matter has been ruled
upon several times by the Treasury
| Department. AS the United States doe,
not issue licenses, it would do no good
to pass a law forbidding the issuance
The Hawaiian gazette., 1909-08-03

of licenses. The tax is collected on
liquor already sold, not on liquor to be
sold, and hence deals with what has
been done in the past, not what may
be done in the future.
Nine-tenths of the special tax stamps
issued, says the Collector, are issued to
Oriental laborers, plantation cook
houses, contractors camps and other
places where laborers are employed.
There are practically no blind pigs in
the Territory operated by white men.
Anybody who buys liquor to dispose
of it to another is liable for the special
tax. Thus, many contractors, planta-
ton overseers and Others who have Ia.
borers whom they do not wish to have
to go to town or to the saloons for
liquor, buy it for them in wholesale lots
and dispense it as they would rations,
sometimes taking payment out of the
pay of the laborers. These men are
obliged to pay the Federal special tax,
though they do not have a territorial
license. Yet they can hardly be ac-
cused of running blind pigs. If a Ho.
nolulu householder has two or three
Japanese servants who want their sake
and who ask him to get them a tub
of it, purchases the liquor for them
and turns it over to them, he is liable
for the tax and must pay it if the
Internal Revenue people hear of it
A good many residents do just this
too.
Collector Drake says there appears to
be an erroneous idea prevalent that
the Internal Revenue people are at odds
with the territorial authorities as re-
CARDS the sale of liquor. "We have
no quarrel with them whatever" he
says. "We are not working against
them. All we do is to collect the tax
for LIQUOR that has been sold.N

P|CKETS KEEP
MEN FROM WORK
(From Sundays Advertiser.)


Higher Wage representatives again
violated the order of the court in re-
gard to picketing yesterday afternoon,
when they stopped party of laborers,
returning to Waipahu plantation to
work, and dissuaded the men from car.
rying out their object.
There were twenty-five laborers, all
former strikers, in the party. Just as
they were about to enter the plantation
preserves they were met by a large
delegation of Higher Wage men and
induced to turn back.
Manager Bull of Waipahu plantation,
when asked last night concerning the
occurrence, refused positively to make
any statement. An officer of the COM
pany later said that he had heard Of
the occurrence, but that he understood
that there had been no disorder of any
kind and that struggling strikers are
continuing to return.
