SENATOR LODGE ON EXPANSION.

Of our trade with our islands: Zone
reason why | am an expansionist is be-
cause | lave watched the great growth
Of our commerce with the Hawai- an
islands. Five years ago, in 1895, the
total hawaiian trade with the Unit
states amounted to only $11 500, 900.
Last year 1t reached 1913 500 900, hav-
Ing increased almost three-fold with.
in five years, and the most OF this in
crease has occurred within the past
eighteen months or so.
We may not think that d business
of S33, 500, 900 amounts TO very much
when our foreign trade is now rum ne
up into the billions, but compare our
trade win the Hawaiian islands, with
their handful Of pcop,-, with some OF
the larger countries OF the world, and
1t gives a better idea Of the value Of
colonies to the United SAFES which
ship their products to us and buy their
food, provisions and clothing from this
country.
Let us begin with Europe.
Our trade with the Hawaiian ISL
ands is over $50 per cent larger than
our trade with Austria-Hungary.
1T Is Is per cent larger than our
trade with Denmark.
ut Is go per cent as large as our to-
tai trade with Italy.
1T Is nearly four times as large as
our trade with Portugal.

These comparisons are with the

Now we will take the American CONT

as u trade with Hong Kong.

Mr.. Bonaparto's Famous Pun.

successful pun ever perpetrated at o
commencement is attributed to
Charles Jerome Bonaparte, the bril-
liant American member of that fa-
nous family, who is a trustee of Har4

more. 1t was at the Johns Hopkins
university, and there was a crowded
and distinguished audience. Mr.. Bona
parte presided. The address was to
have been delivered by a member of
the faculty who was remarkably abb
sent-minded. When introduced he
stood up and confessed to the largo
audience that he had forgotten en-
tirely that he was to make an adj
dress; he recalled that something was
on his mind and he intended the
night before to write out n speech,
but instead of that it slipped his
memory and he went to the opera.
With that he sat down. Mr.. Bona
parte arose and spoke these three
words:
Opera non verba."
There was a slight pause and then a
roar of laughter filled the hall.

NATURAL CORRECTIVE FC
TRUSTS.
FOR

There is n hint at a natural cure ror
certain kinds of trusts in a recent de-
| cision of the appellate division of tho
New York Supreme Court. The case
adjudicated grew out OF a dispute over
the management Of an estate. The
trustees had invest a part OF the funds
confided to their care in the stock OF
an umbrlla trust, whose name appar-
emily was no protection against water.
At any rate the concern eventually sue
cumbed to the flood, and the trust
funds of the estate were carried off in
the deluge.
Had the trustees acted with the pru-
dence that the law required of them H.
their investment? Could they be held
blameless, as they certainly might be
for many errors of Judgment in a bust

Secondly, from the opinion in the
particular case a general warning is
issued to all executors, administrators
and guardians of estates that they mus.
not take risks in the stock of industrial

Manifestly this bar upon such invest
ments by particular people would have
q generally "bearish" effect. Not only
would trustees avoid the fate OF the
men who were compelled to reimburse
the estate under their charge for the
loss by the umbrella disaster, but the
slur upon the combines must make all
people o cautious. The result is to
