FRUIT MEN CONTRIBUTE.
Several proprietors of small fruit
stands read The Press and knew
how much fresh fruit would be ap-
preciated, and SO four or five of
them sent her some of their finest
stock. Several other persons called
and left peaches, pears and oranges.
They asked Mrs. Griffith what they
could do for her, and their SYM
pathy and proffered friendship did
more to hearten her up than any
thing else.
POOR GIRL HELPS.
Another visitor was girl from a
laundry, who said she had to scrimp
and scfape and save every cent in
order to pay for her own board and
room and clothes, but she had a
little parcel which she thought
migth come in handy. She unrolled
the paper and handed Mrs. Griffith
a suit of pajamas, which she said
had belonged to her brother, and as
she had read in the paper that
Charles Griffith hadn't even any
night clothes she wanted to leave
him these. Then she and her COM
panion went away.
Miss Paddock and the wife of a
contractor, both from Lidgerwood
district, called at the house druing
the evening. and brought a liberal
supply of eggs and fruit. They said
that they would bring more this
week and that they intended to
take up private collection in the
Lidgerwood district.
A woman named Miss Grimmer
and two friends were also among
Mrs. Griffith's visitors. They talk
ed with her for half an hour. and
asked what she needed most and
promised to return and see her be-
fore Wednesday.
A stenographer, Helen Wilson,
was the next caller. She left a
dollar and some CHEEKY words for
the woman, who by this time was
in tears at the way kindnesses were
pouring in on her.
This morning letter was receiv-
ed from a man who said he wanted
to help, but didn't have any money.
He inclosed forty one-cent stamps.
Several sent fruit during the even
ing and yesterday the calls still
came.
This morning The Press reporter
turned over to Mrs. Berry, the land
lady, for Mrs. Griffith, $14 b be
used as the latter desired. Sfe had
less than a dollar at that time and
was profusely grateful.

LOCAL BREWERY
IS NOT EXEMPT
Its Franchise Will Not Protect It
if People Declare for
Prohibition.

The contention. of the brewery peO-
pie that prohibition win not be abe to
stop the brewery from making and sell
ing beer is entirely without merit, ac-
cording to the opinion expressed yes
terday by Attorney General Lindsay.
Mr.. Lindsay says that the possession
of a franchise which does mot expire
for several years does not place the
brewery beyond the police power of
the Territory, and that if the people
declare for prohibition, the brewery
will have to close up, so far, at least, as
the making and selling of beer is con-
ceFned.
AttorDey General Lindsay admits
that if the output Of the mandatory
we're other than an intoxicating bever-
age, the case might be different, but
the laws of the United States put the
business of making and selling intoxi-
cants in class by themselves, class
that has no standing in the courts.
The Supreme Court Of the United
States has itself declared that the
liquor dealer carries on his business
only by the tolerance of the people and
bho ldWo ahu thhb AG ID 01 GA tAiAS
amenable TO the police powers of the
community. The court says:
"By the general concurrence OF
opinion of every civilized and Chris.
tian community, there are few Sources
of crime and misery to society equal to
the dramshop, where Intoxicating liquor
in small quantities, to be drunk at the
time, are sold Unfortunately to all
parties applying. The statistics OF
every State show a greater amount OF
crime and misery attributable to the
use of ardent spirits obtained at these
retail liquor saloons than to any other
source.
"There is no inherent right in q
citizen to thus sell intoxicating liquors
by retail; it is not a privilege of q
citizen of the State or citizen of the
United States. AS a business attended
with danger to the community, it may
as already said, be entirely prohibited
or be permitted under such conditions
as will limit to the utmost it's evils
The above, while referring to the re
tail selling of liquor, Is in general tn,
attitude of the courts throughout the
country toward all branches of the
liquor business Attorney-General Lind
say is confident that any attempt OF
the part of the brewery to carry OF
it's business if prohibition carries vii

I should regret that any one suffered

the greater part Of the community
would gain. But there are other things
for which must be more sorry. Per.
haps am not, fguratively speaking,

he is strong, he can have a voice in the

But 1 must be my sisters keeper and
the keeper of her children, for she is
weak, her voice is not heard, yet she
must endure. On her and on Nher chill.
dren is the burden at last. The lights
and wild hilarity are for him, the
dregs and dreariness of life for her.
What can a man do but favor any
effort that may help her and at least
try for better result in the future
than has been had in the past. The ex.
pertinent is worth trying.
My own pleasure is, in measure, at
stake; for under a prohibition law /
would neither import from California,
nor patronize "blind pigs" Leaving
out the question of whether "moder.
ate" drinking is or is not detrimental,
can frankly say that 1 know the
pleasure of the long cold drink, the
good comradeship fostered among men
who drink moderately and decently,
and how the dreary current of one

The scale is loaded too heavily ON the

views win acknowledge the fact as

out. That, Kaniho explained, was the
way Cupid worked for his race.
The why of Cupid.


Then, again, if Cupid was as power
full as they said he was in Washington,
why didn It he get the claims of his own
aunt through congressq If he couldn It
do that much, could he be expected to
do anything elseq Poppycockl And
besides that, Cupid hardly ever stayed
in Washington, but had another man
there to do the work while he(Cupid)
took all the glory. And then McCand-
less had to stay in Washington and see
that the work was done. (Cheers.)
After Kaniho sad this, he said it
over again.
Following his explanation of the ex-
istence of Cupid, he took up the leper
question more thoroughly and thanked
Frank Harvey from the bottom of his
soul that he had introduced resolu.
ton in the legislature that permitted
the release of his own people, his own
blood. (Tears.)
Then he took up prohibition. He
said he was in favor of it. He used
all. the fnesse of the orator and when
he got through with it he said he
WASH in favor of it-as it existed at
present. Why should law be passed
that permitted the rich to import liz
uor and held the poor man up, etc.,
etc7 And>anyhow, it wasn't prohibit
ton that the Hawaiian needed, it was
more food. From this it was but step
to the immigration question. The Re-
publicaps were responsible for the i'm

importation of Russians that took away
from the Hawaiians their jobs as steve.

PORTUGUESE IN
HlLO ARE MAD
Talk of Dropping Plans for the
Welcoming of San Gabriel
at That Port.
Hilo is mad.

Hilo is mad.
Hilo is very, very mad. She is mad
at the reported decision of the COM
officer of the Portuguese
cruiser San Gabriel to stop only two
days in the lee of Cocoanut Island.
She is mad at Honolulu for keeping
the San Gabriel here 80 long. She
is also mad at King Edward dying 80
inopportunely and postponing the sail
ing date of the cruiser from this port
SO long.
The Advertiser received a wireless
from it's Hilo correspondent yesterday
that explains the reason for the out
burst of. wrath. 1t said:
Special wireless.
"HILO, May 14.-Local Port
uguese are very sore because the
cruiser San Gabriel will stay only
two days in port. They have rails
ed over two thousand dollars for
an entertainment fund and have
arranged the program of entertain
ment so as to give the officers and
the men a trip to the volcano,
which is being especially heated up
for the occasion. There is intense
disappointment expressed over the
cutting short of the visit and there
is a feeling among the committees
that the whole plans for the re-
ception win have to be given up.
FGreat dissatisfaction is being
voiced. The plantation laborers,
who had arranged to gather in
Hilo to celebrate the coming of the
first warship of their country ever
to anchor in Hilo bay, have con-
tributed from two to five dollars
each for the entertainment fund
and the Portuguese stores in town
and in the district have contrib
uted from one to five hundred dol
lars each"
Wrath Premature.
However, it has not been definitely
settled as yet how long the stay of
the San Gabriel in Hilo is to be. Con-
sul-General Canavarro and Captain
Pinto-Basto could not be found last
night after the return of the Pearl
Harbor picnickers, but so far as known
the intention to stay in Hilo for two
days only is not definitely formed.
The sailing of the cruiser from Ho-
nolulu has been delayed, but the delay
is no one Is fault. When the San
Gabriel arrived in port, her comman-
der was Informed of the death of the
British sovereign. Great Britain is an
ally and a close friend of Portugal and
il was not only necessary but fitting
that the little Warship should go into
a short period of mourning. She lay
in the Honolulu harbor with hfteen-
minute guns booming for three days
in respect 10 the memory of the dead
King. Those three days caused a re-
arrangement OF the plans Of the Ho'
nolulu committee, but there WAS no

AS an employer of labor and assistant

necessary to use only sober men. It
is getting to be the case nowadays that
the railroads look at liquor in differ
ent manner than they used to. Present
conditions mean that the men running
trains must be confined to those who
can be entrusted with lives. That is
the strongest reason why am in favor
of the prohibition Of the liquor traffic.
