DAI ISSUE UIEIV
10 COVED! FIGHT
Chicago, III , April t.—Indications
^nnt th* i\rt and dry Isfiie may be
precipitated into the Republican fight
ov«r fhe governorship nomination
have stuck up on «11 quarters of the
horizon Three dry candidates of
avowed aridness loomed t:p as fac
tors, each with a hid for Deneen
support.
They ere Sheriff J. A. Whelsr, of
Spring-field, who enforced Sundny
closlng 1n Sangamon County long be
fore Mayor Thompson ordered the
“lid" for Chicago; Mayor W. W
Bennett, of Kockford. and Hugh
M a gill, superintendent of schools at
Springfield. Whoeler and Bennett
atamong the "hats In the ring" can
didates. while Magi 11 is hack 1n the
offing. Ever since State fair week he
has been considered from time in
time aa a possible Deneen entry. He
wag a candidate for the United States
Senate against U T. Sherman and
the late Shelby M. Cullotn at the
primaries April 9, 1912.
The presence of a flock of dry can
didates may lead an out-and-out wet
to make a real campaign. Mayor R
N. Woodruff, of I'eorla. has been
counted among the candidates, and if
the field 1s thrown wide open it is
expected that all doubt will vanish
aa to whether lie wfll stick until pri
mary day.
Meanwhile the Deneen ©amp de
clared that it wouldn't pick Its favor
ite for the governorship nomination
until after the national convention in
June. At present, tho Inclination of
the Deneen foroes Appears to he in
the direction of Colonel Frank 1>.
Smith, of Dwight, or Andrew Bussell,
of Jacksonville, State treasurer. Col.
Smith, who was Taft's manager in
Illinois in 1912, has been actively
canvassing the Btate for months,
while Mr. Russell, after a gumshoe
expedition to sound sentlrnenta, has
limbered up bis stride and come out
as an avowed candidate within the
last week.
Up to the present, Mr. Smith has
been considered as the man most
likely to get the Deneen support, but
during the last few days the Bussell
' stock has been going up.
As to the position of the Anti-Sa
loon I vague in case two or three can
1 didates running on a dry platform
eoliclt an indorsement, the intimation
Is that the lea.guo loaders will fol
low their old policy of swinging their
j strength to the man who is pledged
' to give them a "equate deal" one)
who has the beat chances of election,
regardless of whether he is art out
and-out. dry. What they look for m
. recommending a governorship candi
date is an executive who will not use
the veto to block the Legislature and
who will sign anti liquor legislation
1 that is passed.

Anna fjg», one of the most beautl
ful women or. the American stage,
will Vie one. of the special attractions
of the rcralnt music festival which j
will take place In Richmond May 8. ;
9, in M!»s Case ia on the program ;
for Wednesday night, known as "art-I
1st night" because three of the noted :
artists of the Metropolitan Opera
Company will appear on this one pro-'
(tram. Never before in the music j
1 history of the city has there heen 1
such an array of distinguished singers i
ion one program and the occasion will j
mark a new era In music In Rich- |
mond. I
Of the eight noted artists to appear!
In the festival next week, MIsn Case]
will certainly he one of the most at-;
tractive and the keenest Interest is ;
| manifested In her debut before a
Richmond audience.
Miss C'fcse.was born in the little
village of Clinton, N. J.. and grew
1 up In the still smaller one of South
Branch. As a girl she was taught
to play the piano and also the violin
i in a limited way. At about seventeen
she secured a position as the organist
i *n the church at Neshanlc. There
one bright Sunday morning she de
cided she would be a singer. This
j raised much fatherly opposition and
■ a lot of gossip, hut she had her own
mind and won her day
A friendly merchant aided her with.
| all told, seventy-five dollars to make
n start, the only money aver advanced j
; for her career.
I>urlng the winter of 1909 Andreas,
Dlppel heard her at a musical In 1
i Philadelphia, sent for snd prigaged
jher for the Metropolitan Opera Oom
I pany, of New York, with which she:
J has remained.
Beginning at the very bottom of
i the ladder, she began to attract at
! tentlon at once and has steadily risen
! in fame to the prominent position she
holds today tn the musical world
The qualities that have made this
wonderful career possible are said to
be. first of all, a rarely beautiful
voice of warmth, great flexibility, un
usual range, reaching with ease F tn
alt, musicianship and technical skill
of tile highest order, backed by a
personality of great charm.
Pile is said to be one of the very
few singers of the time who can one
moment sing one of the most brilliant
foirtnra numbers and the next a sus
tained song with a w-ealth of emotion
and pathos that many times has
: brought tears to tho eyes of her au
dience.
j Miss Case Is, from all reports, one
j of those rare artists who not only is
able to delight the musical elect, but
I who reaches and holds In.a firm grasp
1 tlie affection and admiration of the
big public, the plain people, some
would say. Vpon this it is claimed
rests In no small degree her ever
growing popularity and success.
Cfllcers of the Wednesday Club said
last night that tickets were selling
very rapidly and the Indications were
that before the end of the week all
. the choice scats would be gone. There
j has been a great rush for tickets
during the past last two days and
the house !» now almost, entirely sold
out for the first night.

a perfectly simple krmooo modal but
the arrangement of the Empire band

is cut to form a deep V at the front
and at the back. T\g trimming la
arranged over indicated lines. In the
back view, the gown is shown with
the sleeves cut off on these lines and
both treatments are pretty. Fine

Washington, D. C.. May 2—Dr.
John W. Wadman, superintendent of
the Antt-Raloon league of Hawaii, Is
very active In behalf of the bill to!
prohibit the liquor trafflo 'n the;
islande. Ha has Just put out a1
pamphlet In which he shows the!
reasons foe Federal prohibition In the i
Hawattan territory.
Dr. Wadman mentions ths lora-j
tlon of the Islands and their strategic:
position as one reason why the liquor
traffic shoul 1 bo banished. Then he
asks that the natives, who have been
debauched from its further rav
ages. Cargoes of ches,p liquor con
stantly are sent in. he says, and It is
both quality and quantity that are do
ing the dead' work.
Upward of 10,000 American sol
diers are gRrrisoned In and about
Honolulu. Temptations there arc J
plentiful and duty is light. On fort-1
nightly pay day^ the saloons do a
heavy business With the hov.s In;
khaki.
“Crimes abroad." says Dr. Wad-1
man. "The officers in charge are pain
fully concerned. The reputation of;
the army end navy Is at stake in this!
military outpost. For the. honor of;
the flag, ,is wetl as for the sake of I
highest military efficiency, Federal'
protection is an urgent necessity."
There are now in the territory lie
licensed liquor places under the full
control of a board of commissioners
appointed by the <1 tvernor The
most recent statistics of the liquor,
bill are as followp
Mainland Imports. iS2VOOO. loon!
brewery output, $375.000, sake dis
tilleries. $200,000, local wine’ grow
ers. $100,000: imports from Europe,)
$235,000. Total. $1,735.000
"Dr. Wadman's argument goes on'
to say:
iienaupnea llv \\ ines
"Prior to the migration of white!
people to Hawaii, a little over 100 i
years ago, alcoholic liquors were no-'
known to the natives. It was at th >
time of Kamehameha 1 that some
escaped shipwTOr.lv* 1 convive from
Botany Bay taught the Hawaiian^
the art of distilling, and «•> rapidly,]
widely and leadly dll the evil spread,
• hat this great ruler ,n 1 >13 enacted a
law prohibiting the manufacture and
consumption of 'iqu >r i i order 'to.
save'iny people.' as he said, ‘from the
wave of death sweeping the Islands.'1
This was the first law of Its kind evei
enacted anywhere. The good • meen
Ksahumanu, ns regent after the
death of Kamehameha. employed
greater means for its strict enforce
ment under s penal code. lvalue-:
hameha 111 was also n staunch pro
hibitionist. He established a consti
tutional form of government. One]
of its provisions was a liquor prohibi
tory law. In the meantime Chris
tian nations, through their consular
representatives, were causing the rul-1
ers endless trouble. It was their]
constant endeavor to land > arcoes of!
liquor and exploit the Islands
for commercial gain France led in

land joined hands with France in this]
pathetic and disgraceful attack upon
the Hawaiian government, and went]
so far as to haul down the flag of the
Kamehameha's In order to hoist the j
Union Jack. For many, many years i
this conspiracy, in behalf of liquor
was a veritable nightmare to Hawaii.
Once when under tremendous pres- i
sure owing to this outside influence |
to repeal the law of prohibition,
Kamehameha V said. ‘1 will 'never
sign the death warrant of my people.'
Again and again the rulers appealed
to Washington for protection. An
American and a Hawaiian flag were
sewed together, with the American
flag on top, with official orders by the
King to luilst the same in the palace
yard the moment the French or Eng
lish should threaten to take the
Islands by force. Secretary of State
Panlel Webster, upon being informed
of French aggression in Hawaii for
the sake of liquors, is reported to have
officially announced as follows: ‘I
hope that the French will not take
possession of Hawaii, but if they do,
they will be dislodged, If mv advice
Is taken. If It means the use of the
whole power of our nation to do it.’

"At the time of the annexation of
Haovatl to the United Htatea. the peo
ple of the Islands petitioned tha Fed

as would prohibit opium, gambling
and the liquor traffic. Congress:
granted the prohibition of opium and I
gambling, and aleo of the liquor traf

record. It is ao stated In the organic

1AM not going to put on a pair of
cross old grandmother spectacles,
draw mjr eyebrows together and
“shusshf” the happy young engaged
couples who seek the cory corners of
the moonlight garden walks to ex
change their lovers’ litany—no, in
deed, because that Is the sweetest and
most beautiful time of a young girl’s
life. But this I do think is dreadful
—unengaged rooples spooning pro
miscuously.
Is there anything more jarring
tipon one than seeing a foolish vonng
gir! not out of her trens allowing a
boy to make love to her? And as is
nearly always the case, the silly girl
who tolerates promiscuous familiari
ties has much to regret when the one
rnan comes along for whom she has
been waiting for many years. Even
it she does not confess, it is always
in her heart—the ghosts of Other men
who have put their arms around her
and kissed her. How much rarer
would her love have been if she had
kept it just for this one whom she
had dreamed of in her paradise on
earth!
1 do not think we always know'
when we do meet our ideal, and as
Mr Wrong Man is often mistaken
for Mr Right Man we give to him,
in all sincerity, our affection, and
then, before we realize that our heart
has eloped with our head, we have
made another one of life's disappoint
ing mistakes.
We were talking the other day
about spring and how heantiful the
parks are now that the trees are
blossoming with little green leaves.
"How perfumed the air is,” several
of us remarked, "and what glorious
moonlit nights we are having1”
"Hooray for the spooners!" inter
rupted the fourth member of our
party, who is known to have a
searchlight upon his automobile and
who considers it part of the amuse
nient of an evening to whirl it
around on park benches just as gig
gling young girls are nestling very
close to their giggling young gentle
men. And then they turned to me,
asking me what 1 thought about
spooning—if l believed or if 1 did
not believe in it.
I refused to commit mysell, but it
reminded me of a bridal couple who
traveled on the road with us Several
years ago. He was a rank comedian
of the ‘slapstick order, six feet four
inches in height, and as gaunt as
Abraham Lincoln. His wife, w-e were
quite sure, could easily have tipped
the scales at a so, although lack would
never guess a pound under 300
pounds.
Such billing and cooing was never
attributed to turtle doves that erst in
the springtime' And so weary we
grew of their everlasting love making
that several of us young ladies in
the company took a solemn oath that
upon our honeymoons we would cot
be surh a disturbing element
Often would she look rapturonsly
up into his face and ask him, “Oo*t
idle gosling is oo?” while he had
just as many Rheumatic nickname*
for her, names like ""“pidgy potpie,”
“lamb of love’’ and “Billie’s little
chorry blossom.’'. „
During the sfbrmy day* of winter,
when we were gathered around the
grate fire in the little country hotels
where we were destined to spend sev
eral days while our play was being
put on, we found it a great source
of entertainment to listen to these
! two.
But, alasl It was like that funny
i old song our mother used to sing to
ns when we were children about the
tattooed man who eloped with the
fat lady’s salary. At the and of the
season, be disappeared and left his
wailing, sorrowful pigeon potpie upon
our hands to look after and protect,
which we did out of sheer pity, be
causr is there anything more touch
ing than the blighted romance •< *
fat lady ?
So many of the voting girls around
the studios have false ideals of ro
mance. I always regret to see it, as
they pay so dearly for their little
foolish mistakes.
Tomorrow 1 shall write about one
unhappy girl who came to me in her
distress, and who, like many others
trying to fly before their wrngs are
strong enough, fell by the wayside
with her poor little face in the dost.

Is Federal Problem.
’The first objection to a Federal
law la that It will be an infringement
upon local self-government rights.
Hawaii should solve its own prob
lem, it is claimed And yet the ter
ritory' is not allowed to solve its
opium problem, nor does Hawaii nt
all resent Federal ln*erference in ’his
case. The territorial government also
welcomes the strong-arm of the Fed
eral authorities in protecting Its cltl
zen* from a violation of the Kd
munds act, as well as the laws against
smuggling, prize-lighting, postoffice
thefts, etc, etc. The manhood of
the Hawaiian citizens Is not affronted
thereby. Nor are Oie Islands worse
off morally or politically on that ac
count. ‘A man who picks out one
principle of government, regardless
of its context and surrounding con
ditions. and blindly reiterates his ad
herence thereto, even though such
adherence kills citizens. wrecks
homes, multiplies the difficulties and
negatives the og^ects of government,
is not helping the cause of self-gov
ernment. He Is defeating It. He is
a fanatic who worships the shadow
in place nf the substance.’
"Moreover, if the liquor question
were merely a local one, there would
be no need of appealing to Congress.
But It is a national problem, and an
nexation . thrust It upon the territory,
and since Hawaii has been brought
Into subjugation by the liquor power
of America, only the greater power
of the natlop as incarnated in Con
gress can save the remnant of her
native people from death and main
tain the honor of our Government.
Beyond this one law. Hawaii a»ka no
legislation of Congress, but in arm
ing this she feels that the very life of
her native people ts at stake.
"It ts stated in the Governor's last
report that {here are at present in
the territory 3«6 Federal licensed
places for the sale of alcoholic liquor,
and that the revenue derived from
the same by the internal revenue de
partment of the -United States Gov
ernment in.. 1915 amounted, to 452.,OM.
Many of these places are blind pigs,
operated by Orientals In open and
continuous violation of territorial
law. making it all the more Impera
tive why Congress should undertake
the solution of the entire problem in
the passage of a Federal law, and in
doing so close forever Its own
blind pigs and remove a condition
of political control in the Islands
in which the territorial and Federal
authorities are In conflict with justice
perverted and the national honor
sacrificed In the eyes of the people of
other nations gathered upon Its
rfhorss.
"There are reasons why a Federal
law of prohibition run be mor« ef
fectively enforced than a territorial
statute In the first place, the Federal
Court., already established In Hawaii,
la composed of men of higher •tend
ing than lo al officer*, and Federal
laws receive more respect In the
mixed community life of the I«lanls
than do territorial . I'he fact Is a sad '
one, yet neverthelre* true Moreover,
local elections have a controlling In
fluence upon the character of terri
torial offlr la!* whose ears ere natur
ally bent earthward to ascertain the
wishes of powerful oonatttnenta and
local interests, while no iiueh in
fluence affects Federal officers.
Again, territorial Juries are drawn
from the Immediate neighborhood
where, the offenders to he adjudged
reside, and naturally local conditions
growing out of politics, buslneea and
friendship have a permanent ln
i fluence In legal proceedings, whereas
Federal Juries ar« composed of men
drawn from all over the Islands and
so are not only much freer from the
Influence of local conditions, hut
usually because of the fewer number
required the Jurors are of a higher
average Intelligence and wtder ex
perience. The Federal Court ts.
therefore, a greeter power for good
; government In Hawaii than any lo
c.ai court, and more also to he feared
I by evildoers." ✓
