is at heart as democratic as William
Randolph Hearst. He was born-in
some Spanish zone. lie educated his
children in America. lie achieved
wealth in Central America. He speaks

cultivated the art of diplomacy in the
peppery soil Of revolutionary America.

now the responsible manager Of large
business In Hilo and Is the best liked

Florentine Souza is Mason. an Elk

pounds. He Is short In stature with
an elegant rotundity OF form. He IL a

Souza never has been known to say

the Island Of Hawaii was inundated
