WHIPPED HORSE OVER.
HEAD WHEN 1T COULD
NOT BULGE BIG LOAD

7 Charged with beating horse over
the head because it could not pull
a load up Manoa valley. T. Tarumatsp,
a Japanese boy, pleaded guilty in pc:
lice court this morning and was finei
$40 by the judge: . J -
Miss Lucy Ward, humane officer.
was questioned on the witness stand,
stating to the, court that she had seen
the boy beating the horse, had asked
him to unload part of the honohono
grass on his wagon. and had seen him
begin to unite the ropes tas If about
to do so. Later Miss Ward came back
past the place, she said, and found
the beating still going on with the
same load still on the wagon. The
Japanese testified that he has been
in Hawaii only three months and does
not understand English.

George g. Brown of Louisville,

dent Of the National Model License
League, WHO, after an enjoyable stay
IN Honolulu at the Moana Hotel, will
leave for the mainland tonight in the
liner Great Northern.
Mr.. Mapes today gave the following
authoritative outline o; the attitude OF
the Ieagne, and the distinction It
draws between temperance and prohi-
bition. He said:

Freedom Of the individual ] find that
there is much confusion in relations to
the extent 10 which society may go in
the matter of curtailing the liberty OF
the citizen, supposedly for the good OF
the people generally. find, too, that
the line between proper supervision
and into1erant persecution is very
vaguely defined. I think that this
state OF confusion and misunderstand-
me has been brought about as the re-
sniff Of the attempt to bolster ND what
IS wrongly called the temperance
movement
No Fight On Temperance.
II there were in this country

would be no voice raised against it.
and there would be no opposition to it,
because no one would countenance a

and q decrease in the incorporate use
of liquors.
prohibition movement is the fact that
among the millions who use liquors
temporarily are few who use liquors
Unexpectedly.
When the prohibition movement
assumes the guise of temperance
movement many persons are induced
TO believe that it would be immoral
to oppose a movement claiming to be
in behalf of an undeniable virtue.
Use Force To Persuade.
Here Is. where the divergence Of
opinion begins and where also begins
that intolerance which would use
force in the absence of ability to per-
suade The idea seems to have be-
come prevalent that when 49 citizens
refuse to accept the opinion held by
81 citizens, then the law must be in
voked to force acceptance, that when
city would retain the license system
the surrounding territory, may force
1T to adopt the prohibition, or boot
logger system; that when a state OBJ
:jeots TO prohibition it shall be forced
into The prohibition column by nation
al legislation.
This idea seems 10 be based on the
theory that the minority must be gov
erned by the majority in any matter
that the majority may wish to submit
to the ballot within reasonable
bounds the theory of majority rule is
unQuestionably sound. but majority
rule, like any other rule. is subject to
abuse, and 1t is evident that when
the majority undertakes to dictate to
the minority in matters CT conscience
and private, personal conduct the ma
jority rule is being carried to dan
gerous extreme.
The prohibitionist would have it

appear that the temperate, use of Ii.
quor is injurious, and that the state
or nation has the right under its police
power to prevent any citizen from in
juring himself, because what is in
furious to the individual is injurious
to society.
Therefore, we are confronted by a
demand not for temperance, not for
Eprohibition, but for the senseless de-
structiOn of property lawfully estab-
lished and officially recognized.
IF nothing more we're involved
that the destruction of brewery, dis
tillery and collateral property amount
ing to two thousand millions of>dol-
lars, opposition TO prohibition might
be considered a matter Of selfish In
terest only to those who are financial:
