the local legislature. He claimed that
the legislature has not betrayed its
trust. The liquor commission has pow
ers to take away the license of any
liquor man in the Islands.
"Just as soon as the prohibition bill
is passed in Washington, said Judge
Wilder, "you will have government by
commission. The inevitable result will
be that the local powers of legislation
will be taken away from us.
w. r. Castle asked for a definite
vote on the matter one way or another,
but suggested that if the discussion
would be lengthy the matter be laid
on the table. Judge Perry opposed the
latter suggestion. The matter ought
to be decidet- then and there.
The motion of Mr.. Castle to lay on
the table was put and lost

w. r. Castle stated that as the as.
ISOLATION had voted by thirteen to
twelve not to lay on the table, he pro-
posed to offer a substitute resolution.
cit seems to me that there are SO
many aspects to be considered that we
ought to go, slow in declaring our
selves,' he said. 81 do not have that
fear about local self-government that
some express. l hear from friend in
Washington who is in close touch with
federal matters that when the brewery
and liquor interests made the unfor-
tunate break in regard to the Sunday
law and got the sailors of the fleet to
help them make a disgraceful show of
themselves the people of the navy de-
partrient were very much incensed,
and the remark was heard that if Ha-
wall could not take better care of its
rights, they might be taken away.
Nothing that could be done would oper.
ate so quickly to make people in Wash.
ington consider taking away local self
government as an affair in which we
permitted the saloons to cause the sail
ors to disgrace themselves.
81 suppose the danger is that in
view of the fact that Oahu is to be-
come a great military and naval center
the government at Washington may de.
eide to place the control entirely in the
hands of those at Washington.
Gle seems to me that if we can elm
mate from our local politics this CUES.

safer in regard to local self-government
than we are today.

settle this liquor question. We will go
on from session TO session quarleling
about what laws will be made. The
liquor sellers-and ] say it In all
friendliness-will try 10 increase their
sales. il Is natural for them TO try to
increase their sales. We remember how
the liquor men promised prior to the
last session of the Legislature that they
would not try to have the liquor law
changed. But they failed TO keep their
promise. II the saloons are maintained
the sailors and soldiers are going to be
debauched and eventually we win hpye
