1t has been suggested by staunch re-
publican that in case Grover cannot re-
instate Queen Lii upon her throne, he had
better send Major General Mary E. Lease,
of Kansas, to Hawaii, and place the in

head. One advantage would be that
Queen Mary would need neither cabinet or
council, but would rule the Islanders ac-
cording to own sweet will. But what
would Kansas do without her?-Minot
