Chunk Pickle Recipe Wanted

We enjoyed during the winter delicious pickles made by a recipe we found in the Corner. do not recollect the initials att tached to it, or the name, but I do know that much to my familys and my friends
 sorrow, and my own, I have mislaid the recipe Would it be possible to have it printed once more in the H. H. C.? The recipe was headed Sweet Chunk Pickles, and the contributor said that she always put up twice the amount for her own fam fly. The recipe began, Seven pounds of cucumbers. I made rather more than double the amount, and 1t all disap- peared. L. w"
 As we printed, first and last, seven rec ipes for chunk pickles from as many diff ferent correspondents, it is not practica- ble for me to decide which of them you would get hold of again. My alternative IS to let your letter speak for itself, In the hope that the donor of the formula be- ginning seven pounds of cucumbers," and contain the warning that IA might be wanted, may recognize her handiwork ana De induced by your sprightly en- treaties to repeat 1t. You shall have 1t When 1t comes. Wait patiently.

POLICE SORE At 50
MANY MOL. Presses

The police are sore. They are sore
clear through. So is the detective de-
partment.
They claim that while they do their
share of bringing chefa gamblers into
court, their efforts are nullifed by the
dilatory and supersensitiye tactics of
the city attorneys department which
handles the prosecution.
"What s the usei' queries Sheriff
Rose.
Whats the useI" echoes Detec-
tive McDufie.
Wednesday furnished two cases in
point. Mort and Yamamoto, charged
with having che-fa tickets in posses
sion, had their cases nolle pressed by
Prosecuting Attorney Chillingworth in
the district court.
Two more of the same gambling
gang, Hayashi and Nishihama, who
were also brought into court for the
first time on January 22, had their
cases continued Wednesday for about
the forty fifth time. They will bob up
again serenely tomorrow and the cases
probably will have the same DISPOSE
ton as those o. Mort and YamamOto
were given.
just why this quartet of Japanese
gamblers should receive3 such signal
consideration from the city attorneys
department is mystery. They have
been out on bonds of $500 each and
have been paying ten dollars a month
each since January for the accommoda-
ton, but this cannot, Of course, have
anything to do with the matter.
The police confidently expected that
the cases of the four would be nolIe
pressed on Wednesday, but some.
thing appears to have gone wrong with
the arrangement, and the latter half
of the show has been postponed until
Saturday. ~

Shut Out the Liars

1fl1E board OF license commissioners should
L not and we believe the commissioners will
not, consent to the renewals of the licenses of those
saloon keepers who have been caught lying to the
board Those who unblushingly admit that
in former examinations they deliberately misstated
their positions because at the time they were ul-
hampered by oaths and felt free to present any
story that appeared to them plausible and likely
to secure for them the privilege of running their
bars, should be given the only lesson that will ap-
peal to them and their kind.
Licenses to conduct saloons should under no CIR
cumStances be given to men who are self-confessed
liars 1t is difficult enough to hold to the con-
ditionS of the trade men who have some respect
for the truth. without putting into the hands of
those who admit that they cannot be trusted any
privilege to sell booze.
Some of the saloon keepers of Honolulu have
secured their licenses it is plain, under false
pretences These licenses should be cancelled and
renewals refused. If in the face of the testimony
that has been presented before the license board,
the commissioners renew some of the licenses ask
ed for, premium will be put upon dishonesty and
wful lying will be rewarded.
By refusing the licenses in the most fragrant
cases, the board also will be establishing prece-
dent that will work for good by planting in the
breasts OF all other liquor dealers wholesale re-
spect for the commission and knowledge that
honesty is the best policy, even in the whiskey
trade

Beer and Sugar
=. MlCANllLFSS in

I L. M'CANDLESS in an interview published
A%' this morning, takes the ground that If the
political activities Of the Brewery are to be probed
the political activities OF the sugar planters should
likewise be looked into. It must appear to the
average person Ahat it is straining things rather
severely to place the manufacture and sale of beer
upon the same plane the growing of cane and
the manufacture Of sugar. The average man is
able to draw aVerySdstnct line between the carry
ing on of business which exists through the IL
cenSe granted by a community and the carrying
on OF purely agricultural and manufacturing bust
ness which not only has never been surrounded by
restrictions and which docs not exist on sufferance
but which has, through very many years in very
many countries, been encouraged, subsidized and
protected. u

tons came to him clean from the faint OF ruined

to compare the honorable men at the head of the
