PR0HIBITIONISTS and Their
FAKES.

the morning Mother OF Blind Pig
publishes Thurstonian editoria
that contains these opening sen
fences:

before the people Of Hawaii Is
Shall we prohibit the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating
i' liquor In Hawaii"
This Is question on which
there is much to be said on both
sides, and on which good citi-
bens can honestly differ"
The Prohibition party platform
framed by Mr.. Thurston and said by
his paper to have been adopted witt
an uncounted number OF minutes o.
loud cheers. contains this plank:
"And 1t further declares that
the importation OF intoxicating,
spirituous, vinous and malt liq-
uors into this Territory, except
for medicinal or scientific pur-
poses. should be prohibited by
Congress.

VOTERS and CITIZENS

Kuristown, Hawaii, May Il. 1910.
Editor Evening Bul letin-
have read with more than usual
interest communication in your
weekly issue of May 18th, entitled:
Voter VS.. Citizens" We are in
formed that citizen is an inherent
right" II that Is true then why
Is not that inherent right conferr-
ed upon those thousands of serfs In
Hawaii that your correspondent la
ments about? II that's true, then
It seems TO me that our naturaliza
ton laws are all wrong and should
be repealed. At any rate one OF
these propositions is not compatible
with the other. lie also informs us
that Voting Is a Statutory prlvi'
lege." Very true 1t is, but who made
the statute? The answer must ne
cessarily be: the 1900 voters. en-
why should not those 1900 voters
say to all the serfs: Thou shalt not
drink beer?" They have already
said: Thou shalt not vote"

RIVALS CUSTOMS SUGAR CASE.
Undertaking. Automobiles Is New
System of Defrauding.

New York, Jan. 19-More trouble
In the customs service in New York
has come to light. The disclosures
may bare system which will rank
with the sugar cases. Undertaking.
automobiles is the new game.
Joseph P. McGrath, a young Gus.
toms clerk, is specifically charged
with having defrauded the govern.
ment out of $3.50 by deducting $1,000
from the value of a car which arrived
in New York on Nov. 26 last. The
machine, according to the appraisers
certificate, was valued at $3.50, but
McGrath, it is alleged, altered this to
read $3.50. The duty on automobiles
is As per cent ad valorem, hence the
government stood to lose exactly $3.50.
If many other automobiles have been
brought in under this alleged fraudu.
lent arrangement, thousands have
been lost to the federal authorities.
McGrath was arraigned and held in
$1,000 bail for examination.

BURBANK OFF The PAYROLL
NOTED HoRTIcULTuRisT's AID
FROM INSTITUTE WITHDRAWN.
Reason Assigned Is That Scientist
Exploited Himself Com
merciaIIy.

: San Francisco, JAM 20.-Luther Bur.
bank, scientist and horticulturist, has
received official notification from the
Carnegie institute for scientific investi.
cation that the annual allowance of
100000, which was voted him under
certain conditions for 10 years, has
been withdrawn to date from Jan. l.,
1910, after having been paid regularly
for the last five years.
In connection with the withdrawal
of the grant it had been stated that
Burbank had allowed himself to be
exploited commercially, and it was
even said that his proposed associa-
ton with the Law Bros, of San Fran
cisco, and others in large corpora
ton for the purpose Of handling his
productions was one of the main rea-
sons for the withdrawal of the grant.
Burbank says he was "exploited"
without his consent. Another assigned
reason why the grant was Withdrawn
was that the spineless cactus was not
Burbank's original production. In re-
ply to the charge Burbank declared
it was only after he had taken up the
cactus and made his wonderful i'm
provements that it became Of COM
mercial value to the world.
