A time OF UNREST.

Governor Frear's friends may con-
tinue to smile ut the Kuhio charges
although dearth of smiles has been
very evident lately-but IL they do
they are blind to the signs of the
times. "
There Is apparent a dissatisfaction
with the Frear administration not only
among homesteaders, but in the Ter
ritory's financial circles as well. There
is apparent a feeling, deep-seated and
seldom voiced. that the chief execu-
tive official affairs have not been ord
cred for the best welfare of the Ter
ritory. that the Territory is noe get
ting value received through the pres
ent conduct of affairs.
The head of any business is held re.
sponsible for results. He cannot
shift the responsibility on the mer
under him. And the attempt to make
people believe that only small fac.
ton of the citizenship of the Terri
tory is dissatisfied is worse than fool.
ish, 1t is childish.
A candidate for Governor who Is as
nearly independent of local interests
as any man can be who has lived and
worked in Hawaii, and who in addi'
ton. is heart and soul for the welfare
not only of the dominant interests bu
OF every citizen, great and small
ought not to be opposed by any fac

gressive. Opposition to him would a

fOELKER.

Otto G. FOelker, the New Yorker
who will be here next week and will
be heard in an address at the lay
mems Missionary Convention, is the
subject of an interesting editorial
from the New York Independent The
moving cause of the editorial was
Foelker's fight against race-track
gambling. In this editorial there Is
so much applicable to more than the
mere instance that brought 1t forth,
so much of public spirit, that It is re-
produced below practically in full:
A new name for new deed of hero
ism is writ high on the column of
fame, name hitherto ungraced with
chief distinction, the name of the man
whose heroism to the point of death
saved the day to the cause of right
eousness and decency, to political and
social honesty last Thursday noon at
Albany, the name of Otto Foelker. His
name will long stand worthily by the
side of that Of Governor Hughes.
The victory needed him. Without
him was defeat. He was very sick
man. lie had not recovered from the

surgeons knife after deep and most
critical operation. The physicians
told him he would leave his bed to
be taken to the Senate Chamber at AL
bany only at the imminent risk of
death. lie was in the condition when
II was most imperative, as doctors
look at II, that he should be saved
from all accident of disturbance and
be given absolute quiet. But his one
vote was needed. without 1t heroic
attempt to foil the forces of greed
and wealth and save the good name
of the State would fail So he took
his life In his hand and was carried
nearly two hundred miles that he
might at the critical moment say
Yes and No. and make the majority of
one that saved the Senate from shame
and gave success to the chief moral
measure that has been before the State
for many day. and the success Of
which has concerned the whole coun-
try.
Praise, too, great praise, Is due to
Governor Hughes. to all the twenty
six Senators, even to those who would,
II they dared. have voted for the
gamblers, but who respected the pro-
tests of the people and dared not go
back of their previous recorded vote.
We have here another Illustration
of the power of the moral sentiment
of the people when once sharply APP
pealed to. The people can be trusted
II they understand that right and
wrong are involved Truth loves pub
licity; error revels and succeeds In
sneaking darkness.
This victory is then an example and
hope for the future. To two men.
whose names will go down into history
together, we must give special honor,
that of Charles Il. Hughes and that Of
Otto Foelker. The one dared to risk
the hostility of the combined political
forces in his party and his future po-
litical success for the cause he
deemed right; the other did not count
his life dear to him If the Republic
might not suffer damage by his neg
lect. And why should Il man count his
life dear? 1t is worth dying for to
protect ones country. to defend the
homes of the people, to guard our
youth against moral danger, and TO
teach the lesson of unseliish scrvi,e.

The outlook for September 90 con-
tains the following illuminative ex-
preston on prohibition in Maine. in
which, It may be noticed. surprisingly
little attention seems to be paid to
the Woolley line of thought:
From day to day, last week, reports
from the vote on constitutional prohi-
bition In Maine oscillated between
wet" and dry" The first report
was that the provision adopted in
1884. which made the prohibitory law
part of the State Constitution, was
repealed by a popular majority of
about nine hundred votes. The next
report was that later returns had
changed this into a small majority
for the retention of the provision. Still
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1911-10-19

later reports were that the returns
were in dispute. II will take an OIL
cal count to set the matter at rest
Whatever the final result may be, the
majority on one side or the other will
be few score, or, at most. a few
hundred. Errors in copying or in mis-
understanding telephone messages. or
in addition. account very largely for
the uncertainty. For example, the re-
turns from one town were in some
way reversed when they were trans
mitted by telephone, with the result
that change of four hundred votes
In the plurality was made. Some
facts, however. are plain without re-
gard to these errors. The most strik-
ing fact Is that the twenty cities of
the state returned a total vote of
nearly two to one for the repeal of
prohibition, and, with the single ex-
ception of the city of Calais, each city
returns majority for repeal In sew
eral cities of the State this majority
is Overwhelming. In Bangor and Lew
iston, two of the three largest cities
of the State. and Biddeford, PASSPORT,
Ellsworth and Old Town, the majority
for repeal was over three to one, and
in Portland. the largest city in the
State, Augusta, the capital; Water
Vile, Bath and other cities, the major
lily for repeal was very large. Wheth-
er prohibition remains in the consti-
tuition of Maine or not, 1t can hardly
remain in fact. When the voters of
n State are so evenly divided as they
have shown themselves in this vote, It
Is hardly possible, to say the least.
that the prohibitory law will be per-
manently enforced. There is no rea-
sonable ground for believing that co.
$50 people ito cite the unofficial fig
ures published day and half after
the polls had closed can impose their
will with regard to State prohibition
upon 6O,4l5 people. The closeness Of
the vote explains the practical failure
of prohibition in Maine. 1t has some
times been said that failure to en-
force prohibition Is no more of an
argument against prohibition than
failure to secure conviction against
burglars is an argument against burg
larry as crime. II, however. the people
Of any State were virtually equally d.
vided on the question whether burg
larry should be made a crime or not.
there would be little ground for be-
lieving that the law against burglary
could be enforced. We do not believe
that prohibition, even If 1t survives
this vote, can long endure under pres
ent conditions In Maine.

China SHAKING OFF ITS

the International Reform Bureau, OF

Not long ago returning mission
