WARNER Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League Jay O. Warner, for the past three years secretary of the Youfig Men's Christian Association on Kauai, has accepted the' secretaryship of the ter ritorial Anti-Saloon league and is leaving for Honolulu next Saturday to assume his new duties. Mr. 'Warner had been intending to leave next month for the mainland where he expected to return to tl. ministry, bat the need for an earnest and active worker in the cause of prohibition in Hawaii is creat, and when this call came for him he felt it his duty to respond. The Anti-Saloon League of Hono lulu was organized in 1901 with a Rev. Dr. Hartley of Los Angeles as its first Superintendent, who was succeeded by Rev. W. H. Rice. In 1907, Hon. John G. Woolloy, who has only recently retired from his public activities in behalf cf the cause of Prohibition, visited the is lands and for three years worked hard for a "dry" Hawaii. A plebis cite was held in 1910 but the "wets" won out by a largo majority. In 1914 Dr. John W. Wadman be came the superintendent of the league, which was reorganized and became The Anti-Saloon League of Hawaii, with a territorial delegated annual conference, the first of which was held February 27th, in Kawaia hao Church, Honolulu, attended by 300 delegates. The National Super intendent of the League, Dr. Purley A. Baker, was the honored guest and the late W. A. Dowen, a veteran temperance worker, the presiding of ficer. About this time the League insti tuted its campaign in the public schools of the Territory and amoi'E the young people. The watchword of the movement was "alcohol is a poison" and a Lincoln-Lee Legion was organized, with total abstintnce pledge cards, badges, and banners, with a membership numbering thous ands and branches in every settle ment of the Islands. In January, 1910, Dr. Wadman was sent by the League to Washington, D. C. to "lobby" for a dry Hawaii by Federal enactment. He went armed j secured, and a program outlined. To a member of the League, and Mr, Geo. P. Castle, one of Its prominent officers throughout its entire history Dr. Wadman remained at the Capital till June, 1918, pushing his campaign against great odds, especially the op position of the Delegate, though he was subsequently won over to the cause and became an active partici pant. Dr. Wadman co-operated with the National Officers of the League and took a prominent part in the big drive for a "dry" nation in the pas sage of the Eighteenth Constitutional Amendment operative January 16 1920. He assisted also in the lobby for a saloonless Capital, a "dry' Alaska and Porto Rico. April 10th, 191S, a Presidential or der was issued making the Island of Oahu "dry" for military reasons, and a little later a war measure included all the islands in the same area. In the meantime, the so-called Sheppard-Kuhio bill was pending in both chambers of Congress. needed hard work to press it through At last the House of Representatives after a fierce fight between the "wets" and "drys", lasting nearly three hours, passed the bill by a vote of 237 to 30, the largest majority in favor of any prohibition bill up that date. On May -Gth, 1918, the Senate ap proved without a record vote, largely because of the skilful tactics of Sen ator Sheppard, and on May 25th the President affixed his signature and tlie law became effective in Hawaii Augubt 20th of the same year. Recently there nas come an ur gent demand from the public and from the Federal authorities to re sume its work in behalf of education, publicity and law enforcement. Ac cordingly the League has responded with Dr. Wadman as president. Rev. H. V. White, vice president, and Prof. Vuughun MacCaughey, chairman of the prohibition law enforcement com mittee.
