LITTLE HILO GROWING.
le Hilo Tribune says:

The Hilo Tribune says:
We have all noticed during the past
twelve months in Hilo the marked in
crease in the amount of teaming that
is being done upon our streets. These
little things make but passing i'm
preston upon the casual observer, but
they attract attention from those who
look beneath the surface of matters.
The proportion that new lumber plays
in this teaming has been sufficient 20
cause the writer to inquire the guam
tity of that staple that has been re-
ceived during during the past six
months in this port, and the result
was quite startling and very satisfac-
tory. We have imported into Hilo
about two million feet which is rough
ly estimated to have been worth about
1913, 464.j6. Now this is used upon per-
manent improvements, and to it may
be added 100000 more for labor and
hardware that must be used also in

He Promises the Hayaiians
the Blessing Of Annexation,
They Shall Be American Citizens or
Lapse Into Japanese Barbarism
His Audience Grows Weary of
Him and Yawn.

j. M. Poepoe deserves credit for
his international mass meeting at
Kawaiahao Church last night, for
he gathered together between 500
and 600 (the actual count by heads
was 498) men, women and children
OF every race, including Japanese
and Chinese. Among the number
were, by actual count, 80 Hawaiians
over age, the Kamehameha School
in Confederate grey and the charm
ing young ladies of the soon to be
abandoned Kawaiahao Seminary.
There were four claquers from Gov
ernment Offices to lead the applause
which was chary Of coming, and
there were Serene Bishop, Professor
Alexander, the Castles and Halls,
the police and military (in undress);
and then there were Naone, Kauu-
kou, Judge Luther Wilcox, and the
renowned American Senator, who
was to galvanize and electrify the
audience of the rescued from barb
arism into blissful anticipations Of
the joys to come when annexed.
The Government band was not pres
ent, and the Senator failed to galv-
anize anyone. 1t is true many were
shocked, and as many as indecently
could left early suffering from the
attack. Many also improperly
yawned, looked bored, and some
actually slept. This was very wrong,
discourteous, and in bad manners,
for as the Senator from the South
reminded us we were yet to have had
live, or dead for that matter, Sena-
tor of the United States with us,
and how glibly the term Of honor
fell from his aged lips.
His audience could not, though
terribly disappointed in the desire
to acquire information, blame the
highly illustrious Senator for his
lack of material and his want OF elo-
quence. The English House of
Peers is a sedate body, but the
United States must be more sedate
If the Senator from Alabama is an
oratorical sample of his distinguish
cd colleagues. He never once stir
red the audience into enthusiasm
and only once approached it when
no uttered the truism that mans
success depended upon his own
merits, and again when he sought
to impress upon the Hawaiians that,
when annexed, there would be moth
ing to prevent them from becoming
Presidents OF the United States-if
they were elected.
Hired lecturers, as a rule, have

hired lecturer, nor is be an advocate
Of a cause with fee marked retain
er, but only an orator acting under
patriotic and humanitarian impulses.
Nevertheless it would have been bet
ter for his fame, wiser for himself
and more beneficial to his cause if
he had had other "coaches" tban the
select missionary and government
clique to prepare his speech, and
had he gathered his information
from his personal Investigations in
stead OF having them from children's
condensed text books familiar to all,
and from a little coterie of bigots.
Making all due allowances for the
annoyance to fluent speaker, caus.
ed by the continued Interruptions
Of an interpreter the lecture fell fiat
and did more harm to the cause the
speaker advocated than dozen
anti-annexation meetings would have
done.
The speaker was continually un-
fortunate in his illusions and fre.
quently offended the sensitive feel
ings Of the Hswaiians by illusions
to the late King Kalakaua and
their love for the principle OF
monarchy; for the suggestions that
there was no necessity to consult
then as to their wishes, for they
were but rain drop 10 the ocean Of
so millions OF the American popula-
tion; that only few ago they
were barbarians and unless annexed
would lapse into barbarans again.
He needlessly went out OF his way
to insult the Japanese present, that
country and its rulers. He inform
ed all OF events in Hawaiian history
with which every school child is
familiar in order to force the argu-
ment that since "our government"
had offered the islands to the United
States and with Legitimate authority
this country would be accepted by
the United States as it was now
republic but had it been mon
archy it never would have been.
He pointed out the desirability Of
being added to the galaxy Of Amer
lean States but forgot to explain
why his own State desired to secede
from that Union and he himself
fought against it.
He praised our oligarchy to the
skies, and used as forcible argu-
ment in favor OF annexation that if
we were annexed that government
would be retained in office. This
failed to fetch the anticipated ap-
plause for the Hawaiians have the
advantage of living under that Gov
ernment which the Senator, FORUM
ately for himself, has not.
He promised the natives that they
should all be American citizens but
on the voting question was honest
enough to say that States made
their own qualification for voters,
but he omitted to say that il the
present Government remained in
power the Hawaiian Islands would
still be represented by 2600 voters
instead of by 14,O00 as formerly.
Senator Morgan has spoken an
the influence Of his speech remains
with the people who heard him.
The published reports have been
toned down to give pleasure instead
of offense, but the general verdict
this morning is that the Senator
dismally failed to add any sym
pathisers to his cause.

This desiderata are some
thing novel and just imported
by us, and we have already
sent a dozen of them to
Honolulu and Kahuku
Ranches. These tanks never
leak, and there are no mud
holes around them. They
ship nested, and are just as
sure to drive the wooden tank
out of existence as the Aer-
motor drove out the wooden
windmill. There are many rea-
son why this galvsnized Tank
is superior. 1t is light. ships
nested, is easy to handle, re-
qnires no setting up, never
leaks and does not dry and
fall down if all the water gets
out Of it; but, of course,
where the Aermotor is used,
this need never happen, as it
runs with so little wind that
a dry tank is scarcely known.
