ley's. the prohibitionists have told
the people of Hawaii that they will
not accept the verdict of the plebi-
settle on July 2Gth as final. and in face
of the anticipated vote Of the people
against Woolley's propaganda. state
deliberately that Woolley will go 10
Washington again. with contempt for
the expressed opinion of Hawaii. and
seek an enactment of prohibitory
law by the United States government.
The mrncoat policy and deliberate
attempt to deceive that have char
acteri2ed Woollcy during the whole
course Of his activity in Hawaii, is u
marvel to all men. Ills attempts at
deception and beclouding the issue
are us evident as they are foolish.
Before Congress he referred to the
passage OF an anti Federal prohibition
resolution by the Hawaiian legisla-
ture as the stampede of lot of ma
tives," but II was with honeyed words
and an ardent defense of the Territor-
ial Legislature that he made the first
statement of the prohibition campaign
in Honolulu.
"In explaining his work at Wash
ington and his failure TO secure the
enactment of the Federal prohibitory
law, Woolley stated on his return that
he was conscious of the merits" of
Kuhio's contention that the people OF
Hawaii should decide the question for
themselves.
But in spite of the fact that Wool
ley admitted that he was beaten in
the argument" he cannot help from
exposing his true colors by stating
that he will go back to Washington,

City.
The Journal has not been, and is
not now, enthusiastic over this racing
proposition. 1t has not, however, laid
straw in the way of the success of
the enterprise and for two reasons
first, because it could not prevent it if
IL wanted to; and, second, because a
great many Of Pensscola's business
men seem to be dead set on having it,
and the thing might as we'll be tried
out now as at some later time.
Every man with red corpuscles in
his veins likes a good horse race, and
the horse race in itself is clean,
healthy, commendable sport. 1t is the
gambling proposition that goes with it
that has practically killed horse racing
in this country. Nearly everywhere,
the business interests OF the state
have, for their own protection, been
compelled to ask for laws prohibiting
book-making and other forms of race
track gambling. Florida herself has
done the same thing, but the law does
not go into effect for more than a
year yet.
It may be that horse racing in Pen
sacola will prove an exception to the
general rule IL may be that the ex-
perience of the states of New York,
Illinois, Kentucky, California, Louis
lana, Texas, and the great majority of
others which have been compelled to
kick the book-makers out of business
will not held good in Florida. That
yet remains to be demonstrated.
But at any rate We now have the
ponies, the book-makers, and every
thing else that goes with them. If, in
80 days, It can be demonstrated that
these things contribute to either the
morals or the money of the COM
munity, no one will take more delight
in the demonstration than will The
Journal. We have our doubts, but We
are willing to be shown.
In the meantime, Pensacola will be
having her first experience, and a first
experience in losing your money at
the race track-like first experience
in everything else-has certain COM
pensating features in after life that are
not without their value even if they
do come high.
