Mr.. L. II. Davies has written SC
much, and said 30 much, both in
America and Hawaii. that one may
be pardoneJ for mentioning him in
this connection. He is n man whose

MR.. DAVIES ATTITUDE.
1t is well known in Honolulu that
in all efforts TO secure good govern
ment in past years Mr.. Davies has re-
maiued quite passive, devoting him.
self assiduously TO business, but it is
also equally well. known that in every
instance where closer relations with
the United States were sought,
be these relations political or COM
mercial, Mr.. Davies has come to the
fore rs I staunch opponent. He bit
terly opposed the treaty of recipro-
city, but since he failed TO defeat it
there is 10 record of his ever showing
any scruples over profits arising
therefrom. He is now a man of
wealth, with q home in England,
where he may live, if he so elect.
The moral atmosphere of Honolulu
and the corruptions in government,
though he may deplore them as he
would deplore sin anywhere, do not
seriously concern him, for, unlike
the most of US, he does not have
to live and bring his children
up in its midst. When the ceSsion of
Pearl Harbor was on the tapis, Mr..
Davies was also on the tapis. | was
told that he remarked to gentleman
on the steamer that he had come all
the way from England to kill the
measure. And he did use all the in
fiuence he could bring to bear honora-
bly, TO that end. OF course no one
questions his right 10 his opinions,
but these instances go to show his

She has grown into a win>ome young

and the surroundings that await her
here, and, if the refinement is radical,
she will suffer; il it is superficial, and
dependent on associations, she will
become a bitter disappointment to
hose who love her best.
