retary Gresham at the state department
today regarding Hawaiian affairs. Moth
Ing will be given out for publication At

with the state department today and will

Washington City almost simultaneously
with the president, about September /.
and the future course of the government
on the Hawaiian question will then be
finally considered. The result of the
negotiations for new treaty with Hawaii
will not be known officially until tho
president communicates it to the senate in

this will be done before the beginning of

All these are bad enough, to be sure, but
they are rs nothing compared TO the terrible

wealth Is set at killing pace, and thousands

II IS little strange that people
try to make others believe unr cas-, III
able things. One of our citizens is
gaining noteoriety by claiming that
he never told lie. We all say things
every day that are untrue, and it is
better to be honest and ackn owledge
than utter another faishood by a
denial. When IA loving mother asks
you if you don't think her pulling
babe is the sweetest, prettiest little
dumping on earth. you say you do,
but you don't. If a strutting man
asks your opinion of himself you say
be is all right. but he isn't. If you
ask girl TO sing and she tries and
she says she can't, and you say she
can, you lie, and you know 1t. These
and a thousand other little things
like them are faIsehoods that every
one INDUCES in, and they do more
good than harm. Flattery is untrue.
Obituaries are untrue. The lies to
shun are those that ipjure others.
