RYAN GRANTED
PERMISSION TO
MOVE SALOON
Fennell Reports FavorabIy and
Anti Saloon Opposition
~- Fails

Acting principally on the recon-
mendation of Liquor License inspect
or Fennell, the liquor license commits
sion yesterday afternoon granted
Paddy Ryan permission to move his
saloon from its present location on
Alakea street to a site across that
thoroughfare. The action was taken
id spite Of the continued protest Of the
Representatives of the Anti-Saloon
Leagde who, argued that On general
principles the transfer should be de-
MED and that saloons should be idriv-
en- out ct that district eventually,
principally because OF, its proximity to
the waterfront ~
twas found that the Interpretation
of the term property holders" by the
attorney general, to mean fessees hold
ing business or home sites for d pc
Rod of year or more. had little eff
feet on the fist OF signatures endors-
ing Ryan's petition for the transfer.
Since the former meeting the inspect
or had checked up all THE names on
the lists Of those favoring and those
opposing the transfer. and had found
that 4 total of about forty persons
qualified to give their approval or dis
approval had attached their names.
or this number only about fourteen
had opposed Ryan's request.
George w. Patty explained to the
board that OF the entire number only
three were actual owners of property
within the neighborhood Of $50 feet of
the proposed saloon site, and that all
three were opposed TO the . transfer.
He then told why the Anti-Saloon
League, which he represented, oppos-
ed the change. He said the saloon
was too near the waterfront, Haunting
its sign in the face of the sailors whN
arrive in Honolulu, one of the first
signs to greet them on their arrival
and one of the last they BEE on their
return to the ships. It offers more
temptation than should be placed in
the sailors way, he declared.
Attorney E. C. Peters, speaking for
Paddy Ryan, dfsapproyed Of the at
torney generals Interpretation Of the
law and asserted the Anti-Saloon
League, was inclined to influence the
commission unduly. Ill.,
Inspector Fennell brought in a re-
quest that the liquor license of Yoshi
mort Yamasaki, at Waianae, be re-
voked and cancelled, and beginning
with narration of the events lead
ing up to Yamasaki's arrest on .Au-
gust Is for selling liquor on Sunday,
declared that the proprietor has per-
sisted in this fracture Of the closing
law ever since. The hearing was con-
tinued to next Friday afternoon at

TO EXHIBIT TEXAS PRODUCTS.
Make Great Display at Chi
caqo Land Show

The Houston Chamber of Com
merce has engaged space at the Chi
cago Land Show to be held this fall
for the display of South Texas pro-
ducts.
An entire section of ten booths
directly inside the main entrance at
the Coliseum has been reserved for
the exhibit which will cost $4,000
to install
SO far Houston is the only city in
Texas which has contracted for space,
yet the space it has reserved is large
enough TO Accommodate the displays
from other coast cities. Whatever is
displayed, however in the Houston
district section will be representative
Of what may be grown over the en-
tire coast country
During the Land Show Texas" and
Rice" days will be observed. The
exercises for Texas day will be in
charge of the Houston district dele
cation and at which all Texans in the
city will be invited On Rice day
dishes in rice in varying styles will
be served from the Houston district
section
AS near as possible it is intended
to show displays from every city and
town of consequence in the Houston
district with the names of the town
and locality displayed conspicuously.
In this way it is expected to show
such an array of attractive agricul-
tural subjects that attention When
directed to Texas will be Immediately
fastened on South Texas.
During the show a Chicago paper
will carry a double page advertise
ment relating, to the Texas coast
country display and all towns repre-
5ented in the Houston district will be
included in the advertisement.

THE EAGLES POSITION PLAINLY
STATED.

The Eagle has had very little to
say in the gubernatorial contest now
on In this State. In fact it did not
express any preference until after
Gov. Colquitt's splendid action in
coming to the relief of the A. & M.
College after the destruction of the
main building by fire. That act turned
the scales in his favor and we de-
clared for him, and are still support
ing him in a modest way. That act
alone would not have won our sup
port IL we had believed there was a
preponderance of evil in the man and
his administration over the good.
After carefully considering both
men and their records, however, We
came to the deliberate conclusion
that Mr.. Colquitt had made the State
of Texas good governor, fully av-
eraging on the whole, that of his pre-
decessors in recent years. Having
done so, we believe that in accord
ance with a time honored custom he
is entitled to a second term We also
arrived at the further conclusion that
he is as able man, as good man,
and as clean a man, as his opponent.
and for these reasons we decided to
give him our support
For those who think differently, we
as II their views we're entirely in
harmony with ours. We grant every
and claim this right for ourselves We
believe in the spirit of tolerance to
the fullest extent, and man is in
a bad fix when he gets to the place
where he can't give his neighbor the
same right he demands for himself.
II is perfectly natural that men differ
on public questions and issues, but
it is not natural that they should per
nit this difference to enter into, and
make a difference in the relationship
of man for his felowman.
The right spirit is this-each man
be guided by his own judgment and
conscience in the support of seekers
for office from the highest to the
lowest, and when the fight is over
let the ranks close up, and standing
shoulder to shoulder. press forward
in the fight for those things that
make for the betterment and the pro
gress of the community.
