speak on the subject
Mr.. Larsen's explanation was long.
Il covered the subject of concrete
from top to bottom, cited instances of
codcrete work about the city that had
stood the test of heavy traffic for
many years. and ended with that now
familiar motto, Il am for concrete
Iirst, last and always"
Mr. Single stated in reply that he
IS not opposed to concrete, but that he
Wonders if 1t is best for the board to
lay all streets with this substance
when 1t is yet only an experiment In
Tie Hawaiian islands. Should the
board not rather put down some other
substance as well?

said Single, I'VE had practically de-
cided on Warrenite pavement come
hack now and find that you have your
minds made up to use concrete here,
there and everywhere about the city.
Can we take q stand Like this?"

DECEMBER 80, 1915
FREE DENTAL CLINIC PROBABLE.

Realizing the need of free dental clinic in
Honolulu, the board of supervisors yesterday
decided during caucus on the 1916 budget to
appropriate $50 month toward this useful
work About $500 is needed in addition to the
$500 thus assured, and with $1400 Palama Set
tlement viii undertake to secure competent
dentist and give dental service free to the peo-
pie so poor they, cannot afford to pay. Even
in the midst of calls for charity funds from all
sides, this $500 should easily be raised among
the more fortunate people Of Honolulu. Per-
haps when the value of the service is better
known, the supervisors will pay for it entirely
from public funds.

BOOZE RESPONSIBLE.

Booze is responsible for this killing said
man from Schofeld yesterday, referring to
the fatal stabbing affray in which Private Ben
jamin Franklin of the 25th Infantry was the
victim. Franklin had been drinking. He got
into quarrel with. Corporal Carchell and
bullied Carchell until the latter. stabbed him
with his pen-knife. Booze did it.
This is something for the personal liberty .
advocates to think about. Franklin, of course,
exercised his right of personal liberty by
iquoring up and bullying the corporal A
death by violence is the result.
These repeated crimes ofsviolence and lust
due to passions inhamed by strong drink are
the best possible arguments for the temperance
forces. Hawaii has had so many crimes in
recent years directly traceable to booze that
public sentiment is growing with remarkable
fapidity in favor Of prohibition in this ter
ritory.
