Realizing the possible effect which
relative to the sale of i'm.
pure and adulterated, liquors in this
Territory may have upon legislation,
the Wholesale Liquor Dealers Associ-
alton has come to the front with an
offer of assistance in running down
those who are poisoning ignorant con
sumers with vile and deadly MIXTURE.
Tuesday the directors of the associa-
tion held meeting to discuss the mat
ter and decided to offer their assist
ance to the territorial license commits
sion, should that body see fit to take
the matter up. A resolution was pass
ed offering to pay the expenses of
analyses of the various liquors handled
by saloon men in the Territory, and
yestc rday copy of the resolution was
forwarded to Secretary Carlos A. Long
of the license commission.
The Advertisers campaign against
the divekeepers who are selling the
compound poisons which pass under the
name of whisky and gin has met with
general approval. The cartoon, pub.
lished in Sunday morning paper, was
referred to by many of the pastors
of the city in the course of their Sun
day sermons, and the crusade has been
endorsed.
1t is generally realized among liquor
men that the disclosures being made
regarding the deadly poisons that are
being dished up as beverages will fur
nish powerful ammunition to the prohi-
bitionists when they come before con-
gress with their demand that the sale
of liquor be forbidden entirely as far
as the Territory of Hawaii is con-
cerned.
There is a growing sentiment that
some effort should be made at the next
session of the legislature to secure a
law which will prohibit the sale of i'm
pure liquors within the confines of this
Territory. One public official, speaking
of the matter yesterday, said:
cit is disgraceful that mainland
manufacturers of adulterated liquor
should be allowed to use Hawaii as a
dumping ground for their vile stuff. /
see by the papers that the represent
atives of Coast firm recently wrote
to the local authorities to inquire if
there were law against the sale of
their stuff, and to our shame be it said
that alreply had to be sent saying that
no such law exists.
The very fact that they wrote for
shows that they had mis-.
givings regarding the legality of sell
ing their manufactures, and certainly
that would lead one to believe that
the stuff is something which should no /.
he sold. / certainly hope that another
session of the legislature will not be
allowed to pass without the enactment
of a law which will protect the ignor.
ant folk of this Territory"
Another Trouble Source.
New wine, beverage frequently re-
fe,red to as dago red, is giving The
authorities considerable trouble. Tbough
this drink, it is said, taken in small
quantities, does not have any apparent
i'll effects on the drinker in the
in which it is frequently CON
sumed at luaus it is fully as deadly
as compound" whisky and imitation
gin. Being insulieiently aged, the
liqror ferments in the stomach and
frequently results in the death of the
1rinker.
Dealing with this stuff is even more
difieplt than settling the imitation
liquor losiness, for chemical tests show
no Impurities and yet the authorities
know that tho etuff IN almost as 1eag a,
