Is n splendid Idea, nnd the enraged
citizens who know tho law-breakers

be on hnna to speak their minds ..and
publicly cull the names or the worst

pccelt Is one of the cardinal
points of tho .Prohibition campaign;

Under the title "Plantation Store

L. A. Thurston, who is u momber of
the Hawaiian Planters' Association,
publishes the following:

"Tho plantations will consider

tjtude. PROHIBITION'S LATEST
PLATFORM.
.Prohibitionists havo put forward
their platform, their latest. platform.
Possibly It .would bo more correct
to say that tho citizens assembled
under the banner .of Prphlhltlon
for the promotion of government by
n few of us, havo Issued a declara
tion by which they expect to get
yotcs.
:' Tho platform, so-called, .goes the
limit nnd declares for absolute pro
hibition;.
Hut the .Ink, on the document was
not twenty-four jhours .cold .before
qno of the members of theexectitlvo
Icatmnlttcie .oiaduUh'o statement pri
vately mai no uoes noi ,oeu(;ve in
Prohibition.? Such a remark is,nt
tlroly In keeping with t,he .attitude
of Hie average 'Prohibitionist,.
Taking this platform for what It
purports1 Jo .be nn honest declarai
Uon .ot principles though you know
lt--ls not wo find that the spokes-
.Pien-.for the causa Intend that tho
"talc, manufacture, nnd Importation
of ull Intoxicating liquors shall be
prohibited in this Territory.
This means that they' propose to
overthrow tho promise of Aseni
Woollcy, when ho told tho 8enato
committee .that "In the lavish' hos
pitality that makes the Islands fam
ous ho (the tourist) is '-absolutely
safe- irom alcoholic drouth." The
Prohibitionists by their platform
announce that they will not only
stop the citizen ,and the resident
irom obtaining liquor from any oth
er source- than tho .druc stores.
where" "mcdlclno" Is dispensed, but
they will not allow the satisfaction
of the other Woolley 'promise to, tho
lourtstuiat-Vlhe ship that brings plm
will "not' lack a fu'? supply 'and h'o
can carry his drink ashore." .
Practically speaking, tho Probi-
Hjltlonplatform upsets oyery sug.
gesuon or-, woonoy ana starts oui
with a new promise ' ihat llawah
shall be niado the greatest0descrt,so
far as alcohol Is concerned In the
world, tho only popes b9lng tho drug
stores whpre "mcjilclno" is dealt put'
and possibly the fertilizer works,
where 'scientific concoctions are p;c
pared. This platform, moans that thejP.'o
hlbitlonlsts,.lf succossfuj )h tho com
ing plebiscite, will allow the'rHUeu
of Honolulu to serve nn alcoholic
beverage1 pn ls tabic pnjy w ,loue
as (he supply, purchased bef'oro.th'o
law goes Into effect', hoids out. Im
portation for such purposes Is to, be
prohibited.- "Tha European who has'
been In (he habit of, haying alcoholic
oeverages at icasi in nis nomn, wii
be put In the position ot vlotatlns
the law If,' he continues this com'
fort. The Japauese on ..the plantat
Hon and In the town will not be al
lowed to enjoy his national drink,

considers alcoholic boverajna roj
freshing Is to be barred from, tho uaq
of thoso drinks, notwithstanding
tha nation to .which h,e .lives alleg
lunco recognizes tho ..right of hlii
countrymen to not only 'M but man
ufacture the same.
Tb'e Prohibitionists bv their plat

The proposal to revolutionize .thoj
hx.hlts ,and.the tastes of various

I nm n Ilrltlsher who has Just th
rived from Sydney, N. S. V,, per
steamship Manuka. I Intended go
ing to Vancouver, but acquaintances
aboard tho Manuka, who had stopped
In Honolulu, gavo me such glowing
acconnts of this city thnt I decided
to stop off here, with n view to set
tling, provided I can find tho open
ing I want. Catering Is my line. I
worked In a restaurant In Sydney,
and with a pleco of money I had left
to me, a tidy few hundred pounds,
I'm thinking of starting a rcstnuraut
here. Now I've been ashoro a whljc,
I find that there's ft prohibition
wave hitting t life itqwn, not that jit
may amount to anything, but I'd
like to have a license to sell liquors
It I wont Into the restaurant busi
ness. A chap hesitates laying opt
what .money he hag f It Isn't going
to "Ho. him any good. I've spent my
first day In Honolulu going about a
bit", nnd have failed to find that this
Is not n fairly well-ordered town, I
dropped Into soveral pubs for a gloss
of 'ale, and.i except that I missed see
ing tbo-barmaias we have in Austra
lia, found everything In fine condi
tion, and very pleasant. I'm not
saying I went Into every saloon, ps
youall them here, nnd there might
be somo places that aro not right,
but those I called at were as satis
factory as one would ask for,, nnd
nothing objectionable. I discovered
one restaurant where one might
have something to drink with l)ts
tucker, nnd nm given io understand
that liquor can be .had .at, the hotels.
That Is ns It should.be, according to
my way pi imnninK. i got to lanc
ing with a gentleman I met', nid ha
told me he didn't .think prohibition
.Would be .niado a Jlaw here. He's a
seafaring man, and had been to Syd.
ney, so we had something In com
mon to talk about. He advises me
to, start up a small but select res
taurant, but I want to .make .cer
tain .first If I can get a permit .to
handle wines, ales, beers and liquors
for tbc first-class trade. I take tho
llltcrty of writing these lines hoping'
to seo soraobody answer In your pa
per with advice, for they say tbt
quickest way to get an opinion Is to
write a query In a newspaper.
Thanking you In expectation of seo-
Ing this In print, an'd requesting
that you withhold my namo for the
present and sign this CHEl'.

Tho fact Is, that the self-styled ccn

agent. Sho was getting tho names of
tho Hawailans with a view to usln.
them when needed by the leaders of
tho prohibition lenguo. At tho tme
sho visited the homes ot tho Hawail
ans sho was wearing tho Tied Cross

In order to mako tho matter clear

Interviewed a number of tho JIawa.li

visitor and some of the Hawaiian wo
men,

"What do, you wantf" ,nkcd,Mrs, tya

"You speak malkat mo put Inside,"

"Stipposo yon no speak no good,"
Bald tho visitor again. "I like kane

the visitor.
In order to get rid ot tho visitor,,
Mrs. Nawahl deefded to tell her , hus

place, tho "enumerator" visited the
homo of another Hawaiian woman,
who understands (he English language;
very well. Hero, too, sho, trl?d .hard
to accomplish her purpose, but It
was of.no avail. ,,
According t" this Hawaiian woman,
tho first thing' itlint'iho woman did
after arrlylng was to ascertain the
name of. her husband.
"What Is your husband's .name,

"Well, I want to know tho namo of

swer. "What is ,your namo, then, Mrs?"
aBked tho, l.ndy again.
"What do you want to know my
namo for?'' asked the hostess.
"Well," answered" the 'woman, "It Is
a good thing for you and your chil
