A garbled clipping cites Warren, Stark, Putnam, and others, referencing battles, leadership, and the Prohibition debate. It mentions Woolley’s campaign speech opposing liquor, public sentiment shifts, and calls to vote against Prohibition amid political maneuvering and alleged union reactions. The piece blends historical names with disjointed lines and scattered political references.
The speaker argues Prohibition strengthens morality and prevents lax behavior, noting public sentiment against repeal. He asserts conditions have improved over the past year and a half in the Islands and supports vigorous enforcement of the law as it stands.
Wahop Restarick of the Protestant Municipal Church in Hawath writes against Prohibition, arguing temperance can advance without alcohol bans. He cites religious duty, conscience, and political caution, asserting sobriety without endorsing prohibition and cautioning against liquor interests shaping policy.
The text discusses enforcement of liquor laws, police politicization, and public attitudes toward prohibition. It notes the difficulty of enforcing laws in areas with strong minority groups, potential for paid service and pensions, and critiques ordinary police tied to politics. It references Hawaiians and a discussion with Luther Severance of Hilo.
An account recounts opinions on prohibition from W. Smith and Beverance in Hawaii, arguing stricter regulation could better temperance than broad prohibition. Multiple speakers describe enforcement challenges, evasion, and the social impact, noting that many drinkers oppose total bans while moderation and enforcement strategies could reduce harm.
A contributor argues abstinence policy harms personal liberty and suggests prohibition fails to curb drinking. He cites Mill and Puritan cases, compares measures to meat restrictions, and urges limiting saloons while preserving individual choice amid local opposition.
