Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1910-02-08

traffic, G. w. Smith replied that he
had drawn ZIP set Of resolutions COW
ering this vital topic.
| 81 alone am responsible for this
preamble and resolution said Mr..
Smith Il did not deem 1t advisable
to call a meeting earlier, as 1t would
have been advantageous to the cit
liens as a whole"
Mr.. Smiths address was well
thought out, and was well received by
the large gathering. For a period Of
60 years as an independent nation,
the Republic OF Hawaii controlled any
condition within her boundaries and
made such laws as were deemed noc-
essary. Under the Republic, such
men as Dole, Carter, Thurston, Castle,
.Frear and many others met all enc.
gencies.
| I'VE have as good men today as
then, We have the same opportunities
now as then to make good. The fault
lies not with the average citizens but
with the men at the head OF AFFAIRS.
To have Congress step in will only
prove our inability to rule ourselves"

speaking at length about the various
rulers of Hawaii and the manner in
which they tried to prohibit the sale
and importation of liquor in Hawaii,
Mr.. Thmston said 81 do not thin,
we can divorce the liquor question
from us by local optlc.l"
81 am not trying to GUST the liquor
dealers, this has been handed us as a
gift. II this is self-gover6ment or free
Government, then 1t is very different
stamp of self.coverhmeat than have
been used to. 1 don't want government
by commission. neither do wish any
prohibition, whereby the whites are
favored at the expense or native w.
waiians. There are over 800 recorded
blind pigs right here In Honolulu. II
is a very different thing when BRO
Breekons gets after culprlts as when
the District Attorney acts
G. p Castle said: "lf PROMOTION Is

Navy are watching us, In regard 10 on!
SUPPOSED selfrgoysrnment.'
o. C. Swain said: 1--WE did not com.
in as a colony, but as a full.fedge.
, Territory. Since annexation we have
asked the government for help severa
times. Liberal appropriations have
been made us, and we should show oul
appreciation to- the Federal Govern
ment. The United States Senate neve
for one mon, nj wants 10 take our iih
erty away from us, but wishes to guild,
and direct us only. II will not aztec
