wall. say home" advisedly, for
Fitch intends to live out his days in
the Islands, despite rumors and state
ments to the contrary. Neither Ari-
zona nor California can tempt him from
the moist climate of the Paradise or
the Pacific.
/ chatted with Fitch yesterday at the
Occidental Hotel. He has been in
Southern California for some weeks.
where he is heavily interested in min
ing property in the Dale district in
San Bernardino county. Fitch has
started the active development of the
mine and expects to return TO 1t In
the near future to plan more work
II have never thought of leaving Ha-
wall for good since 1 took up my home
there" said Fitch to me. II have
pitched my tent for always and expect
to dwell among the palms and in sound
of the mynah birds melodious warble

kept my rooms at the hotel undisturbed
during my absence and anticipate with
delight again being in them.
Il like Hawaii. The people are OF
my sort l am content to live there
quietly. away from the struggling
mainland and free from the vain am
bitions of the buster cities. / have no
intention of ever mixing in politics
again. have taken no part in them
in Hawaii but endorse. and have al
ways endorsed the course of Governor
Dole. He is a magnificent man and
admire him immensely. 1 am glad that
President Roosevelt endorsed his ad-
uinistra;iOn. 1 had hoped and believed
he would.
Now II we could have a complete
harmonizing of the Republicans in Ha-
waii. the political Joy would be COM
plete. And why not? There are no
great differences of principle between
them. The natives are a gentle,
tractable race and might easily be
taught u recognize the grand realities
of the Republican party doctrines.
1T seems probable that the Hawaiian
Legislature will always-or at least for
many years-be composed largely Of
natives and in order 10 obtain the best
laws Tor Us. we should have these leg

Would it not be a good plan" said
he. TO have the popular Wilcox given

HOW TO HARMoNiZs DIFFERENCES

The Ocala Banner and the Ga'ne7'
willie sun seem 10 have agreed on Il
course of action, which i written
largely thus:
But the democrats must meet every
ISSUE with united front and defer
mination to remedy existing evils, II
it homes to succeed If there ever was
a time in the history of the United
States when the democratic leaders
SHOULD make an earnest effort 10 get
together upon principles acceptaule u
all democrats, and nominate can
didate who will be universally accrp-
table. it will be when the next nation
democratic convention meets. II
this is done there will oe no doubt OF
success. This fact appears to oe sell
evident today and all good democrats
will appreciate ;he existence of tht sc
conditions before the opening OF me
next campaign.
There is nothing new on program
on which even Bryan and Hill stand
together-we must get together to
win, of course, but how will gener"li-
ties avail To accomplish that result?
The democratic candidate can Only
be elected by votes; if all The
democratic votes are not east
a. one, victory i hopeies g.
neither the prophet nor the son
of the prophet was needed to show us
this. Nor l. it necessary for Jefferson
to rise from the dead to SHOW sensl'
ble man that republicans are at issue
with each other, that discord il shak-
ing the ranks of the enemy, and a
stout charge, driven pitilessiy home,
would break the rhalanX and secure
the field before the entertainments
have been made too strong.
Go back little. There We're issues
on which democrats did not agree,
Tut these have 40 importance at this
time. Why emphasize them and con-
vert them into party shibboIeths? No
ten men can be- found who will agree
on all of Il hundred points, but ten
good men will find 40 difficulty IN
agreeing on some ten points. Put the
disagreements oil the pIstform and
the agreements in il. Make a plat
form on which Hill aud Bryan can
both stand, and any good man can
win on it; tut the platform need not
be Hills or organs.

luteIy necessary that the party be
