THE POISONS OF LAWBREAKERS

Certain members of the booze consuming element of the Territory
of Hawaii, who either forgot to lay in a reserve stock of wet goods or
were unable to do SO, and who do not see fit to abide by the terms of
the decree making Hawaii dry, are in the habit of stating that the native
distlation, known as okolehao, is just as good as Scotch rye, or Ken
lucky Bourbon. We'll, perhaps it may be for the maj who has a diges-
tive tract lined with porcelain and copper, and doesn't care what he
dumps into it. AS to those who want to know the facts as to just what
the local dstilahon is, and whether it is fit for human consumption,
they should make a call on Marshall Smiddy at his office in the Federal
Building. The Marshall generally has on hand a collection of stills
that he has taken in recent raids, which are subject to inspection. The
stills, with very few exceptions, are made of galvanized iron and are
devoid OF the essential known as a worm, the condensng apparatus be-
ing the iron surface of an inverted cone. incidentally, and also for the
benefit of the okoehao drinking contingent of the Islands, it can be
stated that the Marshall, in speaking OF the material from the spirits
$50 caled) is distilled, never uses the term mash" He has caught too
many moonshiners and has had too many opportunities to examine the
material from which the local poison is distilled to call it by any polite
society name. No, the Marshall never uses the word "mash"-he calls
it what it really is, and that is "swill" Smiddy also states that in many
instances he has found the swIl from which the dstilaion was being
made in a condition of decomposition; and that as the nature of the
primitive still that is osed is soch that the alcoholic vapors cannot be
separated from the aqueous and chemical vapors, they are all condensed
together and that the beverage produced from such swill is about the
viest connection of poison, swill, and alcohol that the ingenuity of man
could devise So, here's to him who drinks it-may he get what's COM
ing to himl-New Freedom.
