fusions of any Statewide Prohibi-
ton orator, That both the Dem
ocratic and Republican state plat
forms are pledged to local option
as against Statewide Prohibition
has also had far reaching effect,
for the average party man be-
lieves in standing by his platform
on great public questions. These
are the chief reasons why, from
present prospects, the voters of
Missouri will refuse to commit this
state to policy on November Sth
which would plunge lis into the
same commercial and political de-
moralization which now character
ICES such states as Maine, Tennes-
see, Oklahoma, Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi.
THINGS HE DOESN'T TALK ABOUT.
Have you noticed that the aver
age Prohibition orator confines
himself entirely to the sentiment
tai phase of his theme? He paints
lurid pictures of things as they are
alleged to be and things as he
would have them. In other words,
he is an idealist--a dreamer who
brushes aside the practical phases
of his subject with utter uncon-
ccrn-and that is why Statewide
Prohibition in theory and practice
are two entirely differnt things as
such States as Maine, Oklahoma,
Tennessee, Kansas, Iowa, Georgia,
Alabama and Mississippi have
found out to their sorrow. In the
present campaign in Missouri the
Prohibition speakers are silent on
these things. They do not refer
to the fact that Statewide Prohibi-
ton violates the sacred principle
of local self-government. They
say nothing about the proposition
that if it is fair for the dry coun-
ties to vote the whole state dry it
is equally fair for the big cities and
the wet counties to vote the whole
State wet. They don't dwell on
the fact that while Statewide Pro-
hibition would wipe out 81 40, ooo.-
900 worth of brewery property in
Missouri, liquor would still be
shipped in by the train load from
other states. They are silent on
the fact as old as the hills that YOU
cannot enforce law which is not
backed by local sentiment-and
lastly, they forget to say a word
to the effect that the enactment OF
this measure would mean an in
crease in the State tax of As cents
on SIoo valuation. Yet all oil
these things constitute the milk il
the cocoanut and every thoughtful
level headed citizen will take then
into consideration when he goes tc
the polls to vote on November Sth

The dry counties of Missouri, it
may be assumed, are satisfied with
their own solution of the liquor
problem. If they are not, the existing
laws afford them ample power to
alter their condition. The wet
counties for the most part, it may
likewise be assumed, are satisfied
with their own adjustment of the
proposition. If they are not, or if
in the future they become dissat-
ished with their condition, the laws
of Missouri give them power to ex-
clude the saloon whenever they
get ready to do SO. Is it not right
and fair that each county should
vote as it pleases on this PROPOSE
ton? But in this election, altho a
wet county may cast practically
unanimous vote against Prohibi
ton, if the tenth amendment shall
receive a majority of the votes in
the whole state, the wet county
will be voted dry. There are
counties in Missouri which have
been wet ever since the organiza-
ton of the state, and in which the
sentiment against Prohibition is
almost unanimous. To force Pro-
hibitlon upon such a county am
cunts to Acknowledgement of the
people of the wet county SO far as
this question is concerned. Is il
right? Can any man contend fol-
a moment that it is fair? Is il
right that Galloway county should
dictate to Franklin, or that Cam,
den county should control the DIES
TIMES of Cole? Do the people O.
Davies county want to govern the
people of Bates county? Do The
people of Ste. Genevieve county
wish to dictate to the people o
Cape Girardeau? Is it right tina
they should? Do the people o
Ray county want to force thei
will upon their neighbors of La
fayette? Let the people decide

local self government and the!

The Missouri laws regulating the
liquor traffic are among the fairest
and most effective in all the world.
After practically quarter of a
century's experience with local op-
ton and regulation by Missouri

publican state conventions for
1910 both unanimously declared
in favor of preserving our statu-
tory system intact. This is a sys-

The history of the Prohibition
fight in Tennessee is one of the
saddest stories that ever befell an
American commonwealth. Com
mercially and politically the state
is utterly demoralized. Property

In all the country there is not a

Watterson, editor of the Louisville

To BUILD A NEW
FRENCH LAUNDRY

j. Abadie, proprietor of what is
known as the French Laundry, will
erect in Honolulu a laundry building
that will be a credit to the city for
structures Of it's modest class. It
will be located on the premises next
to the old Singer bakery, opposite
the Catholic cemetery, on King street.
Tenders for erecting the building
were opened yesterday and resulted
as follows; Lucas Bros, $4,000; John
Ouderkidk, 1888; Angus P. Nc
Donald, $3.50. The bids are very
close and the contract will probably
be awarded to Lucas Bros. having the
lowest.
The building will be two-stories in
front and will fall to one story at the
mauka end. 1t will have a concrete
foundation and floors, with wood and
metal walls and roof. The front will
be rustic-a very attractive scheme.
The building as whole VIII be sight
ly and rather an ornament to the To-
cality Immediately beyond and in
front.
The French Laundry, from all ac-
counts, has been a success from it's
beginning some years ago. For rea-
sons best known to the trade per
haps, it has seemed to offer a sturdier
front to the army of Chinese laundry
men of the city, and has succeeded in
a field in which the bones of several
equally ambitious enterprises have
been laid.

able to carry between nine and ten
thousand bags of sugar. After some
slight repairs are made, she will be
placed on the Kona run.

CAUSE Of LAST

The market letter of the Federal

under date of February IS, the story
of the sugar advance in New York as
follows:
