record was established when TO the

hour when the weather bureau made
this observation the snow was falling
as fast and as heavily as at any time
since it lie ,an and Il high wind was

had been no let up whatever in the
snow fall.
Business in the departments was al

DOLE'S VIEWS
UPON INTERMEDIATES PERIOD OF
GOVERNMENT
The Possibilities of Territorial Man
agement Discussed-Its Effective
School of Preparation for Future.

President Dole has written a lengthy
article for Harper's Weekly. Much of
this is characterized by good common
sense, while some is open to controver-
sy. The extracts given below are Mr..
Dole's views upon the intermediate"
period and the possibilities of terrific
rial government:
THE intermediate period in the pro-
gram of annexation is of value in CIV
ing the community time to adjust it.
self to the new relations. 1t Is most
important that the political develop
ment of Hawaii shall be a growth
from former conditions, rather than
that the present political plant shall
be uprooted and another started in its
place. 1t was fortunate that there was
no sudden change of the civil system
upon the transfer of sovereignty. That
in itself was shock enough for the time
being. All legitimate interests were
conserved. by the delay in the organi
cation of the permanent government.
Time was obtained for a deliberate
study of the situation by the Hawaiian
commission and congress-. That the
government has continued much as be-
fore, except as to diplomatic relations,
has undoubtedly promote confidence
in the field of business enterprise, and
it has had a quieting effect upon the
political situation, with it's enthusiasts
tic anneXationists, it's enthusiastic an
ti-annexationsts, it's royalists and it's
great mass of puzzled and anxious peo-
pie without definite views.
THAT all important changes in the
system of government or it's admins
tration should be gradual, and with
due notice to all concerned, has always
been a recognized feature of the policy
of the republic of Hawaii. The Ha-
waiian commissioners, in reporting an
organic act for the territorial govern
ment of Hawaii, have been influenced
! by similar views. They recognized the
| fitness of the Hawaiian civil system for
the local conditions and were loath tC
introduce radical changes outside OF
! the executive power. They felt that in
| reference in the judicial or Legislative
! function would tend to embarrass the
administration of affairs and create q
/ period of troublesome readjustment
causing worry. suspense and uncertain
! ty in all directions.
1T is probably for the best that 6
| territorial form of government, in
stead of immediate statehood, has beer
recommended. II cannot be doubted
that the responsibilities and eXperien
Ces of five and a half years of self
government as an Independent power
| with the serious obstacles and diff
| cult questions which have beset the
administration of affairs under the re
public, have formed an effective schoO
| of preparation for the political unioI
! of the Hawaiian community with thu
| United States. In like manner the eX
perience of the nation under a terrific
| rial system will be educational in tn,
line of American methods"
