7. DAN BREE,

Another old Bates county boy to the
manor born, is asking the endorse
ment Of his conduct of the circuit
clerks office by a denomination. II
is stating the facts but mildly to say
that Dan has made a very efficient
and popular clerk. By his painstaking
devotion to duty he has safeguarded
the interests of all the litigants in that
court. There is no man in the whole
county that stands higher in the esti-
nation Of the people. He has always
possessed the confidence of his
neigbors to a marked degree. Edu-
Gated in our public schools, he early
took an active part in the public af-
fairs OF the county, soon became a
leader in his section and was one Of
the most effective Democratic work
ers. He served as Democratic COM
mitteeman q number Of times, and as
county chairman led his party to a
signal victory. No party ever makes
a mistake in nominating such man
as Dan Embree.

ROOSEvELT'S ADDRESS.
Continued from Page u

and polished intellect or the Greek
awaited to avert destruction.
1--WE, the men of today and OF the
future, need many qualities II we
are to do our work we'll. We need,
first of all and most important of
all, the qualities which stand ut the
base of individual, OF family life,
the fundamental and essential quail
ties--the homely. everyday, all-im-
poriant virtues. If the average man
will not work, If he has not in him
the will and the power to be good
husband and father; If the average
women is not good housewife, then
the State will topple, will go down,
no matter what may be Its brilliahce
of artistic development or material
achievement. But these homely quail
tiles are not enough. There must.
in addition, be that power of organ
ization, that power of working in
common for common end, which the
German people have shown in such
signal fashion during the last half
century. Moreover, the things of
the spirit are even more important
than the things of the body. We
can well do without the hard intol-
erance and arid intellectual barren
ness of what was worst in the the
illogical systems OF the past, but
there has never been greater need of
a high and fine religious spirit than
at the present time So, while we
can laugh good-humordly at some OF
the pretensions Of modern philoso-
ply in its various branches; 1t would
be worse than folly on our part to
ignore our need of intellectual lead
ership"

ON GUARD FOR PEARL RARBOR.

Honolulu must be forever on
guard to protect the appropriations
for Pearl Harbor.
This Is no new sentiment for the
Blu lie n to express. IL Is a self
evident truth in the esteem OF all
sensible, wideawake citizens. The
force Of the statement that 1.-The ad-
ministration will look after that item
without any assistance from us" is
demonstrated, first, by the loss and
final recovery OF the item in the
House. and now the adverse vote OF
the Senate. Appropriations don't
take care of themselves.
Constant vigilance is the price OF
Congressional appropriation, even
In connection with such certain ma
tional necessity as naval drydock
large, enough to carry the largest bat
tleship OF the United States.
Every particle of influence that
the city of Honolulu and the Terri
tory of Hawaii can bring 10 bear
To recall the Senate to Its senses
should be brought into play for the
retention of the Pearl Harbor dock
appropriation at the figures present
ed by the Navy Department Self
| interest Is not the only factor. al
though 1t usually acts as a spur.
Pearl Harbor is a national affair,
and citizens of Hawaii are in duty
bound to put forth all their energy
to prevent such n national error ms
building n seyen-by-nine naval dock
for the ships of the greatest nation
on earth.

Mr.. TAFT'S VIEWS.

Quotation from Governor Patter-
son of Tennessee on the subject of
prohibition has brought forth the
usual shower OF epithets and stink
pots from the Prohibition camp. none
of which have a direct bearing on
Prohibition in Hawaii. but which APP
pear TO satisfy the Prohibitionists'
love for calling names.
Quotations are now given from the
statements of President Taft. We
shall now probably he treated to an
argument aimed TO prove that Pres
ident Taft par doned criminal,
smashed. up the furniture and pos
sibly licked his wife. Although Il
may be. that respect for his position
will he more OF a protection for the
President OF the country than 1t is
for an ordinary Governor.
Being accustomed to Kisses from
the women, and brick bats from fren-
gled crowds generally, prominent Of
& lals will doubtless accept them all
a. contributions TO the days work
We doubt. however. that they will
cIange their views In opposition "a
Prohibition rs against practical reg
ulation of the liquor traffic.

WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAYS

President William II. Taft, In the
course of his Yale lectures on -Four
Aspects OF Civic Duty" is quoted as
follows in relation to The liquor
traffic:
Nothing is more foolish, nothing
more utterly at variance with sound
public policy than to enact a law
which, by reason Of the conditions
surrounding the community, is inca
pable Of enforcement
"Such instance is sometimes pre-
scented by sumptuary laws, by which
the sale of intoxicating liquors is
prohibited under penalty in localities
where the public sentiment Of the
immediate community does not, and
will not, sustain the enforcement Of
the law. In such cases the legisla-
tion is usually the result of agita-
tion by people in the country who
are determined to make their fellow
citizens in the city better. The en-

A week later an attempt was
made to pass a provision that a llq-

iorlty of the voters in the town, dis
trict or ward protested Abraham
Lincoln voted against this restric-
ton. On January IS he voted again
TO the same effect. We shah await
calmly the National ProhibitIonis't
reply.
abraham Lincoln believed drink
TO be probably the greatest single
curse upon the earth. How It should
be decreased was question of rea-
son and experience. If he lived to-
day, our guess is that he would, like
most wise men, approve of prohibit
ton in certain neighborhoods, con-
demning It in others. The present
is not hound by our dead statesman's
views II is bound. however, not to
state those views falsely; and we
hope, therefore, never to see clrcu-
lated by the Prohibitionists another
document citing Abraham Lincoln
as an upholder of their creed"

very good reasons in favor of clos.
ing OF the saloons even IL prohibit
ton does not absolutely prohibit;
also. would ! advise young man to
vote for the licensed saloon a'
against prohibition in the coming
election; and If prohibition does moi

are many very good reasons in favor
OF closing saloons, and II the ISSUE
at the coming election were simply
the closing of the saloons, woulC
advise every young man to vote ii

There are reasons why under prop
er conditions 1t would he desirable
to have limited number OF saloons
at centers where many travellers are
passing, and 1t might be better tt
first refuse all licenses for the coun'
try districts and have simply a very
few in Honolulu under conditions
and regulations which have beer

But do not understand the ISSUE
now presented is simply the CLOSING
of saloons, but 1t is the absolute pro
hibition of the sale of any alcoholic
drink in this Territory.

ute to abuses and tends to encour

SMALL BLAZE

At half.past twelve this afternoon n
fire alarm was turned in from box
at the corner of Luzo and Pauoa
streets The fire brigade responded
promptly, but ON arrival found that
the blaze was nearly extlnguished by
one of the fremen who happened to
be on leave. He had seized a garden
hose and played n stream of water
on the burning roof. The police pa
troll wagon made quick run to the
scene but there was no work for them
to do upon arrival. \
The house is occupied by Mrs. Rod
ridues and is owned by Jacintho Con

spark from the chimney setting thu

insured and very little damage was
done

actment Of the law comes through the
country representatives, who form a
majority Of the Legislature; but the
enforcement of the law is among the
people who are generally opposed to
its enactment, and under such cir
cumstances the law is a dead letter.
This result is the great argument in
favor Of so-called local option, which
is really an instrumentality for de-
termining whether a law can be en-
forced before it is made operative.
In cases where the sale of liquor
can not be prohibited in fact, 1t is
far better to regulate and diminish
the evil than to attempt to stamp it
out. BY the enactment of drastic
law and the failure to enforce it
there is injected into the public
mind the idea that laws are to be OBJ
served or violated according to the
will Of those affected. need not say
how altogether pernicious such a
loose theory is

ASK FOR PA0O
Would Make Him Super.
visor OF Roads In
The District

II Is quite evident that John u. Paoo
of Koolauloa District has number
ardent boosters enrolled among his
list of friends.
They would hand John the position
of Assistant Road Supervisor for that
district. They petition the city and
county board OF supervisors some sew.
cntyfour strong, and request that
paoo not only be given an opportun.
ity to display his ability as n roah
maker but incidentally he be allowed
to draw n monthly salary while serv.
ing in that capacity.
The request came through the sec.
rotary of the Koolauloa Improvement
Club.
This organization includes many
prominent residents and property own.
ers in Hanula, Kaluanui, Punaluu, Ka.
hama and Kaawa districts.
Included in the petition Is n call for
the expenditure of five hundred dol.
lars for the repairs and Improvement
of what Is known as the homestead
road In Hauula district. This thor.
oughfare Is said to be In bad state OF
repair. It is full of holes and to ira.
vel over 1t is said to be constant
menace to life and limb. The cement
drain pipes laid some years ago by
the Territorial government have be-
come washed out and unless some
thing Is speedily done to remedy tho
defects the road will become useless
to traffic. There Is luyurient growth
of weeds lining the highway which
has proved an eyesore to the members
of the Improvement Club.
An additional five hundred dollars
is asked to cover the cost of fencing
the breakwater at Makao and also to
assist in the repair of It's road. Ac-
cording to the petitioners many acci-
dents have occurred along the road.
way owing to its present condition.
The road committee will do little
investigation work on the other side
of the Pail and the merits of the petit
ton will be gone into in a careful
manner.
