The question Is whether jou will

Apparently Iho morning paper

Undoubtedly there Is ns much
truth Intthe statement Hint the comet

there Is In the promise of the Prohi
bitionists that they expect something
good to come out of their schemo for
handling' Hawaii.
Thcro Is n column on the census

slide some ot tbo smart nlccks who
attempted to stand oft the enumera

wants to know If that Is why the

Scernl good things In extra divi

Independent merchants ot the Ter

goods slated to be sold at cost by
plantation fciores. Especially Is this
true when they read at the end of
tho offlclnl circular, "Other articles
may bo sold at cost in the discre

Is thus possible for plantation stores
to kill oft Independents by selling at
cost for u while, and then jumping

AN OPEN LETTER
(By Paul de longpre For
In tbo last fifty jears, several hun
dred millions of dollars spent for
thousands of ugly, smoky, cracked
old' masters (most of them spurious).
Starving pitilessly the living ar

Tho groat majority ot tho so-called

The true artist or amateur of art
must, first of nil, bo lover of the
beautiful; It must bo his religion,
nnd the great, elevating mission of
nrt Is to edutate tho masses to lovo
the beautiful.
Stalling with that Idea, which ls

PROHIBITION-AND: TOURISTS;
It is painful to witness the ef
forts ot our Prohibition friends
when attempting to proo that pro
hibition of the manufacture and salo
c,7llquor In tills Territory will help
r.'.tlier than harm the tourist busi
ness, please rnther than ruffle the
soldiers and the sailors who come to
this 'port.
To put tho mnttcr briefly nnd prac
tlcallj: How many people. belleo
that liquor would now be sold In tho
piTncIpal hotels ot this city If tlio
tra'iisleut trade tourists. irrespec
the ot tho residents ot tho town-
did not. demand It?
Why, Woolley himself admitted
that a supply ot Intoxicating liquors
was practically a necessity for the
tourist, when. In his statement be
fore tho Senate committee, he soldi
"The. ghlp that brings him (tho touri
161-wUl not lack a full supply, and
life, can. carry his drink ashore; and
in the lavish hospitality' that makes
the Islands famous, he is absolutely
safe from alcoholic drouth." '
The paid agent of the Prohibition
propaganda admits that alcoholic
beverages are a tourist necessity, but
he gets around If by promising that
tho Usltor will be-supplied through
an evasion of the law.
Not every tourist Is expected to
come oft tho ship and call for a
drink ns his first need. Hut aver
ago people who trnol, like alcoholic
beverages with their meals. Thoy
demand wine or a cobktall or what
not In the alcoholic lino, Just as
they nt times want aerated waters
or candy. Hawaii under Prohibition
will be attractive to them in about
tho saTiie ratio that it would be If
we had a law prohibiting the use ot
tobacco or eliminating beefsteak

As far hs the army rind navy nro

that oven n fair-sized minority of

Surely, nothing could gho-greater

In handing down to posterity some

anjwliore, tho editorial in I ml, or,
should I say, tho editorial pen, turn
ed to nrgumonts that aro not sound,
not fair, or not within tho ilearly

town.
Disagreeing with tho Advertiser's
well-sounding but unsound theory, I
want to s.iy Hint "Iloostef" Is right
when that writer declares prohlbl
tlou will "knock" Honolulu s prog
ress and welfare. "Jlooser" said
that soldiers and sailors would bo
deprhed ot liquor, and that there
would be les. naval vessels coming
here on that account. Tho Adver
tiser answers with the statement
that "ships go where thoy nro or

There hnvo been mon-of-wnr here

vertiser takes exception to the state
ment ot "Ilooster" that the "honest
workman will ho deprived of his re
freshment," going on to say that the
"honest man's" w.lfe nnd family
would be bettor off. This Is shal
low, for an "honest workman" does
not let his wife and family suffer,
and, In fact, .ho is better as a pro
vldcr for the' reason thnt ho does
know how to occasionally or regit
larly refresh himself In reason by

SUBMITTED TO YOUR GOOD
JUDGMENT WITHOUT COMMENT
Atlanta, Oa , Sept. 3th, 1907J
On examination of tlio.actho princi
ples of tea, coffee nn'd COCACOUA,
we find that tea contains from 2 33 to
3 21 tier cent caffeine nnd from 1GM0
to 27.14 per cent, of tannic acid.
'Coffee contains .02 or 1 per cent, 'to
1.11 per cent ot caffeine, and also tan
nic ncld In smaller quantities than
found In tea The average cup of cor
feo contains about 2 grains ot caffeine,
though In "drip" coffee, which Is mora
JIJIJIJH i- Ka
nnd moro coming Into use, a cup Is , .
likely to contain as much as, 3 to 3 1-3
grains of caffeine,
.Therefore a person drinking a cup lj
of coffoo Is likely to get from 2 to 3
grains of cnffeluo; tho moro cupfuU
one drinks, tho moro caffeine In pro-,,
portion.
COCA COI.A contnlns 1 22 grains ot
caffelno per ounce of syrup, which '
means per glass ot COCA-COLA as 1
ounce of sjrupIs used in making) u.
glass of beverage. Tho pure COOA
COLA Byrup, therefore, contains .25tof
JL per cent, caffeine nnd bIiIco thero Km
six ounces ot water added to this nnd
one ounce of puro COCA-COLA syrup,
to mnko tho seven ounces ot fluid
round In a Klnss ot COCA COLA, wo
find that a slnglo glass of COCA-COLA
contains, in round numbers, .01 ot 1
pei cent, caffelno. r
Comparing this amount ot caffelno
with Iho amount found In a cup of cof
fee or tea, wo find that in a glass ot
COCA COLA thero Is Just about ono
third tho amount of caffelno to bo
found In tho other two beverages men- .
Honed.
Caffelno, In tho small amount found
In COCA COLA, could not bo consid
ered n strong stimulant, but merely a
mild one, and by Its slightest stimu
lating effects upon tho nervous system,
it refreshes tho mind, causes mora
animation, and thus, physiologically,
tends to rellove, temporarily, fatigue
nnd mcnral exhaustion.
To sum up; coffee and tea, on ac
count ot tho largo amount ot tannic
ncld nnd volatile oils which thoy con
tain, tond, In tho long run, to lntor
fcro with digestion, and tho lai-gd
amount of caffeine, which thoy contain
renders thorn moro harmful If drunk
to excess. On tho othor hand, COCA
COLA does not contain any mibstarica
which can, In any way. Interfere with
tho digestive system; whllo tho small
amount of caffelno contained slightly
stimulates tho heart and norvous sys
tem nnd refreshes tho whole, mechan
ism. Yours very truly,
