MERCHANTS FALL
To MONEY GRAF
Hui Soliciting for Funds for Races
With Booze on the
Side.

One Of the matters to be taken up
at the next meeting of the merchants
association viii be a discussion of a
scheme that is on TO raise money for
alleged trace and field events that
are to be pulled off at KapioIani Park
by way of celebrating the Glorious
Fourth.
This canvass for money has been
eminently successful with a large num-
Der Of the merchants of the city who
permitted their patriotism to carry
them away. 1t is said that about 500
has already been raised.
Since the discovery by some of those
approached for coin that the hui collect
ing the money was not one organized
to give the people an outlet to their
patriotic enthusiasm but to run free
horse racing, loud protest has been ut,
tered, especially loud now since it is
reported that some of the promoters
want d special license to open a beer
joint for that day at the track.
One Of the collectors for this hui
approached the head of a prominent
business house IN the city at the begin
ming OF the week with list of those
who had already subscribed and asked
for a donation. On the petition it stat
ed that the money was to be used in
promoting race and field sports at
KapioIani Park on the Fourth of July.
The merchant becoming suspicious,
asked who was at the back of the petit
tion and the solicitor sidestepped at
once and answered only that it was ga
regularly organized committee" The
other persisted and asked for names and
upon hearing one, promptly said: "No-
thing doing!'
The words race meet and field
sports,' disguise the proposition start
ed some time ago by a hui of sports in
the city to hold horse racing at the
old park on the day named. with an
understood object now of selling beer
on the side and thus adding to the
sum that is to be so kindly donated
by the merchants.

THE LIQUOR QUESTION IN THE
SOUTH.

New Orleans Times Deuocrat.-The
full significance of the Alabama pro
hibition election Monday is now recog-
nized throughout the South and through
out the country as a clear expression
of the sound common sense Of the peo-
pie. No such opportunity has ever be
fore been offered for ascertaining their
views and wishes on the liquor quas-
ton. Heretofore the issue has been
fought out in the legislature, or sub
mitted more or less Indirectly, and
tangled up with personal and partisan
politics. In Alabama the straight ques-
tion of prohibition was submitted to-
gether with a number of radical laws
deemed necessary to uphold and en-
force it.
As we expected, the people voted
against radical Statewide prohibition
