PROHIBITION FRIENDS OF THE
HAWAIIAN,
Prohibitionists are obviously do
ing their bOBt to appeal to race
prejudices in Influencing the Hawaiian-American
vote for tho' Prohi
bition cause.
This appeal is, as usual, based on
untruths and artful deceit. One of
the premises Is that the Hawaiians
have had the saloon forced upon
them; another thnt the coming ple
biscite is the qrst time the Hawai
ian has had an opportunity to' vote
on the matter,
This Is falsehood, but, coming
from a Prohibition source, false
statements are cot surprising.
However, taking the Prohibition
ists' claim as being' ot some value,
tho Hawaiian-American voter doeB
and will remember two very Import,
ant things In connection with the
present situation:
First, the active leaders In tho
Prohibition movement aro the men
who fought the Hawaiian bitterly
and without ceasing ,whon the pro-
iiobhI was made to give the Hawai
ian cltlsen manhood suffrage In
handling tho. affairs of these Islands;
tho name Prohibition leaders are the
men who are now openly and
nvowedly nt work to take the' frnn
rhlre from tho Hawaiian' under "Gov

BLIND PIGS CARE
FORTHEMSELVES
Kdltor Evening llulletln:
Hero's n text for entertainment!
The Advertiser says editorially:
'Nail up the brewery and shut up
the wholesale importers, and tho
blind pigs nnd tho spenk-cbsles will
take caro of themselves." I
Of course they will; that's Just
where the trouble lies with prohibi
tion which docs not prohibit blind
pigs and speak-castes.
Prohibition ever was and ever will
be the political, actual friend of
blind pigs and spcak-easles, which
will most certainly "take caro of
themselves" In tho ovent ot prohi
bition becoming lnw In this Torrl
tory.
nilnd pigs and speak-easlcs can
not very well take care of thcm
selves now, for tho simple reason
that good liquor Is too great a com
petition. Men get their liquor nt
properly-licensed nnd properly-regulated
saloons, cafes and hotels, and
there Is not much show for the hole-ln-tho-wall,
tho speak.easy or the
blind pig. Hut, oh, what a change,
my' brethren, If prohibition passes!
Then the blind pigs will multiply
and the smell ot the spoak-easy will
abound In the land, to say nothing
of Illicit' stills In vale and mountnln
fastness.
If there Is no liquor allowed to be
sold or manufactured in Hawaii, the
Internal revenue officers will pack
their grips and quit, and there will
be do Federal officials to eh a bo out
tho" mountain and valley Illicit stills.
There'll be a pretty mess for the
little police force to handle.
