COMMON SENSE IN CANADA


1t was the mayor as we remember who sug
gested in his naive little way that the procedure
to keep Honolulu free of auto accidents is to
remove all the horns and other warning-appara
tus from cars. Then, he maintained, people
would always keep a sharp lookout and thus
avoid getting themselves run over. III
The mayors suggestion has recently been
followed by the further proposal, equally prac-
teal, that if mounted police officers wish to
keep from getting run down from behind they
should hang red tail-lights to the caudal APP
pendages of their steeds.
Honolulu talks and talks, and legslates and
legislates, and still the speed-iends the drunk
en- drivers, the take-a-chance daredevils, the
half-skilled and unskilled, send their cars dash
ing through the streets day and night
Up in Canada according to Golfers Week
~, they do it differently. Golfers says:
automobile regulations in the Province of
Quebec impose a fine of 500 for the first of
Tense and $500 for the second, with imprison-
ment for one or two months, for any person
who, while intoxicated, drives an automobile
1t is understood that the Canadians enforce
this provision. The bells, horns, and other sig
mailing devices must not be used in Quebec eX-
cept as warning of danger. and then not in
such way as to make harsh Objectionable,
or unreasonable noise except in the case of fire
or police vehicles or ambulances Even these,
we suspect, are not expected to make 'unreason-
able noises. The Quebec laws provide that
every motor vehicle shall carry muller and
that it shall not be cut out in any public park
or public highway The muller cut-out used
to be recognized as the stigma of the cheap car,
but since the cheap cars have been SO ppFfpctpd
it now merely advertises the cheap driver. The
intoxicated driver is entitled to no leniency.
The noisy horn is an excuseless nuisance. Al
together, one sometimes yearns to see the Unit
ed States annexed to Canada"

A GRAND JURY REPORT THAT DEMANDS ACTION

in the Pacific Saloon, having each one-third
interest. Es
Honolulu Brewery his note for $1,000 with mort Z
gage the saloon security.
This arrangement apparently proved satisfactory
TO all concerned Mr.. Bartlett and Mr.. Waterman
receiving thei. pro rata OF the profits, being
thirds of same and Mr. COrnyn receiving one-thrd.
"Mr CoTayn apparently retained $3.50 per month
for living expenses, the balance of his share of the
profits being paid to the brewery on account of his
note.
Upon the payment of this note Mr. Cornyn held
his one-third interest clear.
There be doubt but that the agreement
of copartnership fully understood by the three
Interested parties, as the terms OF same were con-
scientiousy lived up to.
Did Lynch know what sort of secret deal
with Bartlett he was party to? The grand
jury report says:
The agreement between Mr. Bartlett a
thirds and Mr. Lynch, owning onethir1.
apparently fully Understood by both parties, Mr.
Lynchs affidavit to the contrary notwithstanding,
the conditions of same were always adhered to, to
the effect that two thirds of the profits paid
Mr.. Bartlett, and in addition thereto Mr.. Lynch
paid certain amount from his onc-third profit
apply to his Indebtedness to the brewery.
The report puts it up to the license commits
sion to take action. On this point:
The liquor commissioners were acquainted with
practically all of the transactions mentioned in this
report, in the face Of which they reason why
the various licenses should not be renewed or trans
ferred to other owners.
The license commissioners in absolute control
of the situation. They make license valuable
otherwise by insisting that the holders Of the
license comply WITH not only the law but with all
regulations adopted by the commission
THE cancelling of enc two licenses for evading
regulations would teach holder of a license
that there some value to the license if he
ducts his business properly; the contrary, if he
does not the license wouldn't be worth the paper it
is written -.
There should be no need of a grand jury inyesti-
cation into the liquor business; the liquor commits
sioners the judges and they should stop any
questionable transactions by refusing to renew
licenses where sGcn evidence is proven to their sat
isfaction." ~. Il" 5sZ..z. -: r ....#
The license commission has won the conf
dence of the public for it's energy and impair
TALLY in the past. 1t has the power not only
to renew licenses, but to revoke licenses. We
shall await with peculiar interest some early
action by the commission as result of this
grand jury report. r. kill

THE HUSTACf CANDIDACY

Charles Hustace, Jr., who has announced his
candidacy for the mayoralty as a Republican,
Is businessman who madeaa success of his
term as chairman of the board of supervisors.
During that term, he won the respect and sup
port of his colleagues and the cooperation of
the community to a marked extent He is out
spoken, honest, not always tactful but always
IN earnest; he is under the domination of no
man or set of men, and he ran independently
two years ago because he believed the then
existing convention system had wronged him
and wronged the voters of Oahu. His brief
announcement says: "For efficiency in city adj
ministration for Honolulu nei"
To date four Republican candidates have ap-
peared-John e. Lane Harry E. Murray, Joel
G. Cohen and Charles Hustace Hustace has
had more actual experience i'm public office
than any of the others except Murray, and
Hustaces record was far more successful than
Murray's. He will have large following
among the Hawaiian voters for he.worked well
with the Hawaiians who made up the board of
which he was chairman, and he is not ''ho0-
kano."
Mr.. Hustace's candidacy must be and should
be taken seriously 1t may still further divide
the anti-lane vote, but on the other hand it will
take away some Lane support and it may mean
an Immediate movement to concentrate the sup
port of the large independent vote that de-
mands busnesslike government of the city
first, last and all the time.
Weighing well each mayoralty factor as it
appears, the voters will be wise if they reserve
final Judgment until all the candidates are in
the field

The territorial grand jury has let in some
much-needed light on the saloon business in
Honolulu.
The light is also turned on the relations Of
the Honolulu Brewing x Mailing Company to
retail businesses, and it falls with especial
strength upon the relations Of Charles q. Bart
lett, president and manager Of the brewery, and
three or four of the retail salOon-meD.
While finding that the involved transactions
between Bartlett, Lynch, Waterman, COrnyn
for Sullivan and the brewery are not criminal
i'm nature, the jury has found evasiOns of the
law, in spirit, at least; il has found trickery,
deceit and double-dealing.
The charges made by the Star Bulletin when
this paper demanded a grand jury investga
tion have been proved; the questions asked in
the columns of this paper day after day have
been answered. ~.
In the report made public last night by sub
committee of the grand jury, named to carry
on the investigation, this trickery, deceit, dou-
ble-dealing are plainly shown. ...
The various transactions involving the Pa.
cifc saloon were made possible because Bart
lett, Sullivan, Lynch and Waterman were will
ing to go into secret deals and silent partner
ships, in defiance of the plain spirit of the Ii
eense commissions ruling made as long ago
as 1910. If, as some of them say, they acted
IN ignorance that very ignorance of the reg
ulation and of the nature of business transae
tions would seem in all common-sense to un-
fit them for holding saloon licenses
Did L. +. Corynn (Dick Sulliyan) knowing
~ make false affdavits as to the ownership
Of the Pacific saloon?
The grand jury report says:
when application made to the liquor com
missoners for saloon license Mr.. Philip F. Cornyn
was the applicant for the Pacific Saloon The license
was granted to Mr.. Cornyn and far the com
mlssioners or the public knew Mr. Cornyn the
only interested party in the saloon
From July 1, 1910 until July l. 1911 we are
led to believe that Mr. Cornyn only employee
