Il am aware of the disposition to make
the governor who costs the state the least
the greatest, but you will excuse me from
any share in such thought. Such gov
ernor may be the best he may be the
poorest. My ambition was to give the
State a most suitable service i'm every pub
lie particular and have it cost as little as
possible. To put it in commercial phrase,
give the state straight goods, all wool and
| yard wide, at the lowest market price.
1 compare accounts with Gov. Dilling-
ham only because our administrations
were nearest alike in execution of public
| functions, manner of conducting them,
| and volume of expense incurred in dis
charging them. We are responsible for
having done the most in a certain way for
the State of any of the governors asked to
render account of their stewardships,
and having used the talents entrusted to
us as best we knew how, have returned
them and await the judgement of pro-
sressive people IN progressive age.
Then discarding intimations and i'm
proper classifications and allowing proper
credits, comparatively, upon a fair basis,
the official cost to the treasury of the last
| five governors is relatively as foIlows:

I wish, also, to say that I see no excel
lence in governor because he pays or
asks his staff to pay the expenses of
state function. If it is the governors pri-
vate function let him pay the bills, on the
other hand, if it is a State function and
conducted by him officially, let the state
pay the bills; in other words, the state
should pay it's own bills, and in such mat
tiers the duty of the governor is to exercise
good judgement in undertaking and econ
omy in discharging such requirements SO
they maybe kept within reasonable bounds.
Perhaps it will be conceded that more
was crowed into my administration than
into the average administration and posi-
bly, it would have been wiser to have slight
ed more public exactions, but, following
the light as it was given in each instance,
I sought to do the best, and as it turns out,
cost The State few hundred dollars be-
yond the ordinary record, which appears
to be the rub.
The three affairs occasioning this excess
were more than other governors have I'M

Women Should Know II.
LILIUOKALANI

Many women suffer untold agony
and misery because the nature of
their disease is not correctly under
stood. They have been led to believe
that womb trouble or female weak
uess of some sort is responsible for
the many ills that beset mankind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache,
puffy or dark circles under the ewes,
rheums tism, dragging pain or dull
ache in the back, weakness or bearing
down sensation, profuse or scanty
supply of urine with strong odor, fire.
quent desire to pass it with scslding
or burning sensation, sediment in it
after standing in bottle or common
glass twenty -four hours, are signs OF
kidney and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often at
tributed by the patient herself or by
her physician to female weakness or
womb trouble. Hence, so many fail
to obtain relief, because they are treat
ing, not the disease itself, but a refec.
ton of the primary cause, which is
kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are
made miserable with kidney and
bladder trouble and both need the
same remedy.

Mr.. wanamaker Leads.

John Wanamsker carries more life
insurance than any other man in the
United States. His policies aggre-
gate $l,550,000. The greater part OF
them are fifteen and twenty-year en-
dowments, but some are straight life.
When asked why he insured 80 heav-
lily, Mr.. Wanamaker said:
II thought the matter out, and con-
WINGED myself that it was a good bust
venture. Besides, it seemed TO me
that / might, perhaps, give away
more money in lifetime if there was q
fixed certainty of putting it back into
my estate by life Insurance. / con-
coive that the best way for man to
carry on benevolence is not to leave
it to be done through his will, but to
do it in his lite time, and l felt that
life insurance would give me more
freedom in carrying out some plans
have, and which would be glad to

Be Careful About Details.

The details of the Christian life are
the weak points with most of us.
There is a mistaken idea that religion
means only that which has to do with
song and prayer and Bible reading. If
this were true, then might we with
justice conclude that religion could
not be made matter of continual
concern. In reality, the test of our
religion, so far as the worlds verdict
is concerned, lies in pursuing secular
callings in Christian way. The
world may resist our teaching, but it
can not resist our living.

farmer or u mechanic. Neither be a
soldier nor sailor. Don't work. Don't
