ment of this city, to which | am reput-

hoarse for American institutions, Gus
toms and liberty. l once thought the
sentiment was honest and sincere;
but it now really appears that con-
siderable portion of the liberty" ad-
vocates committed perjury or lied as
TO their sentiments in the grave ques-
tion before the country in the ante
annexation period The very first real
test of Americanism in this country
finds the loudest howlers for annexa-
ton wanting. Thurston and his pres
ent circle of satellites impressed me IN
1898 as being imbued with the true
American spirit, and | supported them
to the last ditch. Being faithful ad-
yocate of my country's interests the
seeming support of Thurston and the
older element of Hawaii's political
life was most pleasing. For years
could readily imagine that we were
partly American already.

4 question raised BY Mr. Waldron
in talking with the writer was. how
would small farmers get their stun
to market?- That is q question that
would soon settle itself il the lands

dustry of Southern California had
made very little progress when the
Santa Fe railroad extended its lines
into that section. The Southern Pa
eific was not disposed to show the
orange growers much consideration
being somewhat like our steamship
lines in Hawaii, but the time sooI
arrived when a rival entered the
field and it quickly took all the trade
even though it made no appreciable
reduction in rates. What it did Dc
was TO show disposition to help the
people to develop their country and
its resources and in return the people
patronized the Santa Fe railroad.
