BISHOP SPALDING.

Suppression Of the manufacture and
sale of alcoholic beverages is the only
adequate remedy. Temperance societies
attract comparatively few. and are ef-
ticient only as long as their members
are stimulated to sort of moral intoxi-
cation. High license dim;nishes the
number OF saloons, but not the ouantitv
of liquor drunk, nor the amount of
drunkenness. And then. too. license is.
in way, to approve; and a wise ana
good man can not approve the liquor
traffic. Whatever restrictions NAV he

Editor Observation-Disclosures is a limit
to some Of the arguments which are be
ing used by the liquor interests to sup
port their dying cause. They are even
urging that the Bible SAYS nothing
against the drink evil. The liquor peo-
pie are trying to twist the Hawaiian
voters upon this issue. Every fairmind-
ed man recognizes that Scripture must
be interpreted with reference 10 the
time. the country and the people of the
age wherein they were written. Be
cause these facts have been ignored
Scripture has been made to teach i'm
possible things.
We must remember that the evils of
the drink traffic are infinitely greater
today than they were in Christ 5 time.
The process of distillation was discov-
cred in the year 700 A D.. meaning
that the ancient Jews knew nothing of

This question of liquor today is a
question raised by the senate of the
congress through the bill of the late
Senator Johnson, on April 10, 1910.
Upon the introduction of this bill,
prohibiting the sale of Intoxicating
liquor in the Territory of Hawaii. the
Christian Endeavor Associations Of this
Territory took this question up, consid-
cred it and exercised their privilege as
true and honest citizens by supporting
the bill.
Another bin of the same nature was
later introduced by Senator Curtis,
which bill almost passed in the senate,
but through the exertiOns of Delegate
Kuhio before the committee this ques-
ton was referred back to US, the people
of Hawaii, to decide on the Goth day of
July. 1910.
We absolutely deny that Mr.. Woollev
is the father of the Joint resolution of
congress providing for a vote on pro-
hibition, because he was only a repre-
sentative sent to Washington by the
Christian Endeavor Associations and
others who opposed liquor to try and
have the prohibition bill of the above
named senators passed.
Oh you people, the responsibility of
this question lies on us individually and
as people, from these few days up to
the election day, and what will be the
correct answer that we will get that
day!
Should the prohibition side win, the
certain result will be that our legisla--
ture will be thereby ordered to enact
laws prohibiting liquor in accordance
with the joint resolution of congress, in
the best way for the interest of the
people.
Should those who are opposing pro-
hibition triumph at the election, that
will be no reason for the Prohibition
League to be discouraged; but they will
go ahead until the victory that is GER
tainlv awaiting them in the end.
On the night of the 25th of Nav last,
the committee of one hundred and more
formulated the platform of the prohibi-
ton side, and on that platform they will
fight to the victory on the election dav
of July coming.
Oh you people, this is test question
for us. BY voting right on this aues-
ton of liquor, will prove that we are to
be trusted TO vote with wisdom, worthy
of good and honest American citizens;
but If we do not exercise our powers hv
voting right on this question, and the
consciences of the voters are led astrav.
by voting for liquor. il is certain that
danger IS at the door of the Territory
of Hawaii nei.

On July 2G we vote simply and solely
for or against the sale and manufacture
of liquor in the Territory, The rartieu-
lar law which viii make prohibition
operative has not ver been formulated.
and we are not called upon TO discuss
that al all just now. The election N
July is simply TO determine the general
policy with which we shall treat the
liquor question. So the man who votes
against the prohibition of the sale and
manufacture of liquor IN that election
is most certainly son the side Of the
liquor interests
Bishop Restarick gives considerable
space to the treatment Of individual lib
ertv It is a question of many phases.
According 10 the bishops argument,
one could plead individual liberty gave
him the right to run an automobile at
thirty miles an hour on Beretania ave

road was perfectly clear and there
would he no danger to himself or to
any one elSe but he would he arrested
as a law breaker and would have to
pay to organized society a fine for his
lawlessneSs.
Society has the right, and exercises
it, to curtail the so-called individual
liberty of citizens in multitude of
WAYS.
It is said that there are number
of orientals and some Anglo Saxons in
Honolulu who like to use opium, a mat |
ter of individual liberty as much as
using liquor But the law forbids them
It is a crime for them to have it in
their possession. A tyrannous democ- |
racv has deprived them of their rights. /
The fact that users of iQuGT may be F..
enc hundred to one user of opium IS

destroyers of manhood and dangers to .
society. |
The writer holds no brief for Mr. !
Woolley; he is fully able to speak for /
himself But as the bishop has ques- /
toned a statement of fact which Mr..
Woollev is said to have made, it may
be in point to bring out the facts.
''Practically all the churches in Ha-
wall are for prohibition. is the state
ment in question The bishop denies
the fact and brings in answer, not the
number of churches. but the number of
members, to whom no reference was
made. The total number of churches in
Hawaii. emitting the Buddhists, which
are in no sense Christian, is 332 And
leaving out the Episcopal churches,
which the bishop disclaims he repre-
sents in this matter, we have only 312.
OF this number 1O5 are Roman Catholic
and against prohibition, leaving 207
Methodists, egationalists, Nor
mons and several other bodies ranged
on the prohibition side. 50 Mr. Woollev
was much nearer the truth than the
bishop thinks.
The writer agrees with the bishop
that something radical will have to be
done to enforce a prohibition law, or. in
fact, to enforce even the present law
But, if we have a prohibition
law, it will be something eminently
worth while to enforce
