tons. the entire time of the executivA
session of the Senate, today. was con-
summed by Senator Davis of Minnesota
IN speech in support of Hawaiian
annexation. Mr. Davis is chairman Of
the Senate committee on foreign rela-
tiOnS and his speech was generally av-
Copted as the srmi-utlicial utterance Of
the majority Of the committee H
spoke for about two hours. and when
the Senate adjourned had not finished.
The speech was the first upon ttr
merits of the treaty and on this ac-
count and because Senator Davis had
made a careful investigation of the
subject he received the undivided Al
tentiOn of the members of the Senate
y portion of tn" speech delivered. to-
day. consisted Of a review of tn" rcla-
tons between this country ana Hawaii
ana was intended to show that tn"
United States bad exercised fostering
and protecting care over thrm fIrm
the beginning, with many evidences i
the intention ultimately of making
them an integral portion Of the Amer
lean domain.
The Senate, at 800 p NJ. adjourned
The Senate consumed considerable time
in general presentation of the roasuns
for annexation, saving that these were
both commercial and strategic. one
strong point which MIR. Davis dwclt upon
at considerable length was the deSira-
biIitN of these islands not only to tn"
United States but also to all the leading
powers. of the world. we" he said
should take the islands while we have
the opportunity, and if do not want
them il will be a very easy matter To get
rid Of them on our own terms.

tiCn of his speech il was with the general
understanding that he would continue.

There are others.

Narrow-mindedness lack of tact and
disposition to cause annoyance to Others, is
trait frequently found in persons whose
birth and breeding would lead one to think
they were endowed with more common
sense and higher principles, and certain
persons in Smyrna are of a similar nature.
Such persons continually judge others by
themselves and the idea never occures to
them, that while they are biased. and pre-
judiced in their views, suspicious and ever
ready to doubt, there are some men who
can be and are honest, broad-mined and
straightforward, and, under no circum-
stance, would they think of doing some
of the low, mean things the people above
referred to seem to take great pleasure in
doing. Their contemplate action and ma
lacious lies may succeed for while, but
deceit and treachery will always, sooner or
later, be detected and very soon they may
be called upon for an explanation. Being
two-faced they could not play the false
friend-act successfully, especially in small
community like this. While we would re-

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.


Evidently Gov. Tunnell takes no
stock in the idea that the adjourned
session of the General Assembly which
convened on Tuesday is acting under
the old Constitution. He says:
''In conclusion, permit me to suggest
that, while your duties are thus cir
cumscribed, you are entering upon one
Of the most important sessions of the
General Assembly held for many years.
With this, the first legislative session
held under the new Constitution, rests
in no small degree the future happiness
and prosperity of our State. In order
to accomplish the necessary work that
lies before you, you should devote the
session to the consideration and enact
ment Of those necessary changes in our
laws and not permit proposed logisla-
tion on other subjects to divert your
attention or prolong your session. On
my part you may count on cordial
concurrence in every measure for the
public good, and on all the information
l possess which may assist you in the
discharge Of your important duties"
The Governor in his recommenda-
tions refers to the restrictions of the
New Constitution and makes many
valuable suggestions Of interest to the
general public as we'll as to legislators.
Wequote:
IAN adjourned session is something
50 unusual in this State that your pro
ceedings will be watched with the
keenest interest by constituency,
who, while they expect a careful and
conscientious consideration of the i'm
portant business that will come before
you, will demand that you address
yourselves to its dispatch with the least
possible delay. To members of the
Legislature called for tue first time to
sit as the lawmakers of the State, the
duties and responsibilities which con-
front them are so new and difficult
that il is not surprising that the wheels
do not always move smoothly and that
some delaysnd frequentlymistakes mark
the first weeks of the session. But
with you prefitting from the valuable
experience which you have derived
from your previous long and busy ses-
sion, it is not SO. Awaiting yourselves
Of the useful knowledge of legislative
affairs which you have gained, you
should be able to perform your duties
intelligently, expedition and to the
satisfaction Of an expeetant public.
There is wholesome sentiment among
our people that we have too much legis-
lation. This feeling is largely due 10
an unwiss desire Of each Legislature to
leave behind it a volumlnous record of
changes in our laws to testify to its in
dustry or to account for its unneces-
sarily long session. This desire often
results in the appeal on amendment of
statutes which have not been in force
long enough to demonstrate their vir-
tue or their inadequacy. 1t is most
| important 10 the welfare of a people
that they should have liked laws which
should only be changed after careful,
jndicious and conscientious considers
