Tribute to Mr.. Hubbard.
At a called meeting of the Memorial As
sociation. held at the residence of Chief
Justice Fuller this morning, the following
tribute to Mr.. Hubbard was adopted, q
copy TO be furnished to the family of the
deceased:
1.-The Memorial Association Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia records with tender sor-
row the death of one of its charter mem-
bers Mr. Gardiner Greene Hubbard. To
him, in very large measure, our organlza-
ton owes its existence. He recognized his
duties as citizen: and, among others,
this, to do his share to give the national
capital interest and attractiveness by car
rying out the object of this organization.
HE gave freely of time and money to
preserve the house in which President Lin
coin died; and 1t is largely due to his wide
acquaintance and great influence that the
Congress has purchased that property to
be perpetually held as a shrine OF patriotic
pilgrimage. We feel that in his death our
association loses one of its most efficient
members and all of US true and valued
friend We tender our heartfelt sympathy
to his bereaved household

responsible for this. There has been
here an ingrained almost traditional
attitude Of Jealous secrecy about the
problems that have arisen here and the
methods of meeting them.
II may have been partially the zeal
OF the business man protecting his pri-
vate affairs from the public eye, and
partially an unwillingness TO provoke
hostile criticism by letting the dark
sides OF commercial and political his
tory come to American eyes and ears.
The preservation OF this attitude would
have been impossible in larger COM
munity. The newspapers would have
enforced publicity. 1t has been, l
think. without doubt most unfortunate
for the Islands, in its success.
If one wishes sympathetic apprecia-
ton, the one thing worse than the
knowledge Of his faults and misfor-
tunes is ignorance. Undoubtedly the
earlier condition of the contract labor
er on the sugar plantation approached
slavery, and brutality abounded. But
the knowledge of the advance which
has marked the later years and is cul-
minating in profit-sharing and con-
tract on which white labor may replace
Oriental, would have aroused an in
terest that would have far outweighed
the prejudice earlier conditions might
have caused.
A free and open discussion in Island
papers of this and other problems
would have kept Hawaii in American
and have insured the sym
pathy which any human struggle calls
forth when 1t is known. What is

assume in a generation or two? Who
knows Of the work among Chinese and
Japanese, the kindergartens that are
out toward all classes and ma
tionalities? There is only one way in
which these activities can possibly be
brought to popular consciousness, and
that is by the. constant, fearless re-
porting Of the concrete events, out Of
which they have sprung.
The average man is interested only
in concrete happenings. Acquaintance
with the scandals, which native life

JEALOUS SECRECY
Tourist Has Been
Preserved.
Social and Labor Conditions of
Islands Unknown in
United States.

Mr.. EDITOR: = In the opinion of
the average man in the States the in
terests here that are asking for annex
alton represent more or less hyprocri-
teal missionary sugar planters who
have stolen the Islands from the ma
tiyes and now wish to increase 20 and
80 per cent. dividends by the addition
of the new tariff This opinion has
been sedulousIy fostered by the sugar
trust and journals which for one rea-
son and another are opposed TO annex
alton and an American foreign policy.
And against this we have but the tes-
timOny Of some religious journals nat
urally attached to the child of the A.
B. c. F. NJ; the letters of Hawaiians,
commissioners and others and few
journals, which, fayoring annexation
and a foreign policy, have taken the
trouble 10 90 beyond the evident geo
graphical, strategic and commercial
advantages which the Islands present
It is curious that this first, and in
reality, only American colony, is al
most entirely without human interest
to the parent country. Of course, we
may explain this seemingly unnatural
parental Indifference by the absence of
all colonial or foreign policy and the
concentration of interest at home, but
I am confident that this is only half of
the story. While the process of evan
gelization was going on, the religious
world followed developments, for the
missionaries kept the home organiza-
tons informed. But when the more
complicated, more profoundly difficult
and less romantic task of building up
a community here upon the necessary
political and commercial basis was IN
dertaken. the mother country had no
more information than was picked
out Of scanty Island papers or sent
over by incompetent correspondents.
The results as they stand today
show the same capacity for self-gov-
eminent, the same individual intelli-
gence and independence of action, the
same capacity for organization that
has characterized the Anglo-Saxon col
onizers the world over. Hawaii is
better governed than any, but a very
few communities in the States, and
there is public moral sense here
that is more acute and better directed
than in any American city 1 am ae-
quainted with.
1t is true she cannot continue to
stand alone, for she is in reality but a
part of the whole from which her max
ers came out. But this result of which
We have as good a right to be proud
as the English have for their civilizing
work in India or Egypt, is practically
unknown at home, and calls out SYM

Lost Vest and Watch.

George E. Boardman is minus vest
and a gold watch. 1t seems that he
went to the home of one of his Jap
anese friends early Saturday night for
a pleasant evening. Responding to the
invitation of his host, he removed his
ordinary clothing, hung it up .in a
room and donned Japanese costume
At about 1920 o'clock Mr.. Boardman
went out TO get his clothes. His coat
and trousers were there, but the vest,
with the gold watch had disappeared.
There were quite number of men in
the place, and some one of them, see
ing the vest with its precious burden,
must have found himself unable to re-
sist the temptation Mr.. Boardman re-
ported the matter at Police Headquar-
tiers, but nothing has yet been heard of
the missing articles.
