PROHIBITION WORK
MOVING AHEAD
CONTINUED from Page One

1t had been said that prohibition did
not prohibit Why was it that the saloons
and liquor interests were arrayed
against it?
Rev. Mr. brahms went on to show
the relation between liquor and crime
by quoting statistics and statements
made by officials of prohibition States
and cities. mainly in Kansas. Any one
who voted against the prohibition law
on grounds that it did not prohibit,
might as well try to wipe off the stat
ute books the laws against murder and
theft, because they did not prevent
murder and theft It could be readily
seen, he argued. that if prohibition did
not prohibit. the States of Maine and
Kansas would not maintain such laws,
and Maine had had it on its statute
books for sixty years.
Nakookoo told the audience that 1t
had now heard from Mr.. brahms that
liquor was bad thing. brahms want
ed them to do away with liquor, and
| had pointed out how it had been re
sponsble for the filing Of the jails.
Seeing these evil results it would be
| best to wipe 1t out.
c. c. smith. a Mormon elder, was
| .he next to take the floor. He spoke
of the homes and families which were
being destroyed through liquor, and
called on his hearers to help to stamp
out the evil. He owed a great debt Of
| gratitude to his parents who had kept
| him away from liquor. He was afraid
| of liquor which always led to evil.
| Liquor had tempted many boys away
| from their homes, and they had be
| come servants Of Satan. In his travels
| he had seen much of this.
The speaker said that be was doing
what he could for prohibition which
was not only for the Hawallans but
also for the haoles. He wanted to save
both. for both races were Influenced by
| its evils. The saloons were increasing.
children went hungry. The parents
| were to be blamed. If they did not
quit drinking. their children would
drink If the parents were made 70

! ton would be temperate. The chill
dren were more important than liquor
Rev. Stephen De,ha followed with a
short speech. The first part was IN
English. but the greater part thereof

effects Of liquor Desha called atten-
| ton to the points which had been
made by Mr. brahms relative to the
relation Of crime 10 liquor. He also re-
minded his hearers Of the fact that the
