of the license under which
the brewery Is now operating. At the
niluslon of the Joint proceedings the
TTomcn of the union promised to put

The W. C. T. U. adopted the appeal

people for financial assistance to carry

Ts the Cltlz iih of Hawaii:
The Anti-Saloon League has good
to believe that a new llecnse for
the Honolulu Hruwery lion been
Issued, and that quick, earnest action
can close ltn doors. A thoroughly
reliable llrm of lnwers has examined
tas case and claims that this ran be
lane. They are willing to umhrtake
the task, on behalf of the Anti-Saloon
league, knowing that the legal battle
it III be severe. They will not receive
any fee if the courts should decide

they want the reasonable fee, of one
thousand dollars remuneration foi
money and time expended
Ihe moral Influence of bcveral hundred
personp eontilhutlng not over one
dollar each toward such an object will

the saloon evil abated
If any pel son desires to have his contribution

We, the undei signed, give the
amounts opposite our naincn for the
Iiurpo.se of closing the Honolulu

ther Anti-Saloon League work.
Yesterday's meeting wus Intended to
ba one for beginning nn
muss.de, nnd measures were adopted to
carry out the plan of the union to prevent
children fiom smoking cigarettes
Hut the larger portion of the meeting
nun devoted to a discission of the beer
question. Kupeilntcuilcnt like of the
Hague, accompanied by W. A. Bowen
and Hov. V. D Westervelt, attended
the meeting, Mr. Howon acting tin the
spokesman. The latter opened up his
batteries on the common enemy of the
two temperance organizations denouncing
the attempt to re-enact the brew-fry's
license and urging all the women
to assist in lighting the legal battle
which Is shortly coming off. Mr. Bowen
was primed with statistics, and la terse,
sharp sentences expressed the will of
the league arousing the W. C T. U.
to nctlon. Mrs. J. M. Whitney, president
of the W. C. T. U., spoke with
much earnestness on the question,
pledging herself and co-wearers of the
nlilte ribbon to the work In hnnd.
Mr. Howen outlined the heads under
which he spoke as follows: "The Unbuttoned
Collar," "Statement of the
.Situation," "HeaBons for the Present
Movement," "Sincerity, Not Sentiment,"
"Why the W. C. T. U. Should
'Fake Hold," "Be Strong." The first
heading meant that "the unbuttoned
sllar" called for the hand of woman
lo assist, and that was what the league
needed in its present proposed work,
and the league had to come to the
union for help. The drinking of beer
nas demoralizing. It should not go on
it was Immoral and the wrong being
(one to the community should never
have commenced. Mr. Bowen said that
li 18S7 a special act was passed by the
legislature permitting a corporation
here to brew beer. The company failed.
For a number of jears the law dropped
at of existence, apparently. Then
rme along the present company and
wade use of It. The company was organized,
although knowing the life of
the act was limited. The time expired
la February last, and he had been advised
that the brewery was operating
illegally today and had no right to
exist. He Inquired under what conditions
It was allowed to continue.
It was time for the people who did
nst wont the brewery to "put up or
whut up." Those who had backbone
hhould put their shoulders to the wheel
aad woik to rid the community of the
rvll In Its midst. It was a question of
"yes" or "no." The speaker felt It was
the moral duty of the women to take
up the cudgel nnd use It, and asked for
Ike moral nnd physical backing of the
IT. C. T. U. He did not believe that
If 1000 or 2000 men and women whose
names were down In black and white
In protest, with sums of money opposite
their names with which to wnge the
fight, that the Legislature would dare
the brewery law.
Mrs. Whitney assured the league
that the union would stand
by it.
The movement was
taken up, Mrs. Whitney quoted from
David Starr Jordan, whose argument
against the use of cigarettes was as
follows:
"As a college teacher, my experience
with hoys who have formed the cigarette
habit is somewhat limited. It,
however, confirms me in my opinion
that such boys are like wormy apples;
they drop long before the harvest time.
Very few of them ever advance far
enough to enter college. Very few of
thaae last beyond the first year. They

the bojs to refrain from cigarette

The plans of the union nt present are

sas: "Under no circumstances will I

George Torrance, superintendent of
