sThe progress of the nation widens,
as time flows by, as the nation grows
and develops, as it becomes a factor in
international relations. as it assumes
obligations abroad, our conceptions,
our ideals, our purposes should widen
also. New responsibilities crowd upon
US, as they inevitably must; new duties
arise. demanding adequate discharge;
new relations are contracted, requiring
tactful consideration; and thus. as the
nation advances, its problems increase
in complexity. But if the past teach any
lesson whatever, it teaches that these
drafts upon American citizenship will
be fully and adequately honored and
that all complexities will ultimately be
resolved into crystalline clearness.
In all this, in the shaping of the fu-
ture of the country, you and 1 and all
other citizens must bear a part. Let
US see to it that our ideals of American
citizenship may involve the conception
that the civic power shall dominate and
utilize individual achievement for the
common good The nations future
must then be assumed

AMERICA LEADS.

In following the policy outlined by
Washington and the founders of the
Republic, policy that in it's every de-
tail shows the guiding hand of higher
power, we have reached a position that
is unique in the worlds history; our
growths and achievements are the mar

we lead in everything that makes for
human progress.

citizen going on a European tour can

THE REPUBLICS BIRTH.

One hundred and twenty-eight years
ago this government was born. It's
baptism was consummated in blood, it's
sponsors We're men animated by the
highest ideals of liberty and justice

mon man was looked upon in the light
of a human chatteI whose only reason
for existence was to fight and toll,
newer of wood and drawer of water.
Your fathers announced the sublime
doctrine that all men were created free
and in defense of that God-like prin-
cipIe they appealed to the final arbitra-
ment of the sword and they did not
sheath it until the last vestige of for
eign hereditary bondage was swept
from the land and man crowned in the
dignity of American citizenship stood
erect without a peer.
Zone hundred and twenty-eight years
have rolled away since the Declaration
of Independence, a declaration enhanc-
ed and invigorated by the hand of time
In it We have from its preamble to it's
close the very essence of freedom. In
it, in the constitution, the writings and
speeches of Washington and Jefferson,
We have infallible guides in all matters
pertaining to our national life proved
by the past and present, which is the
best guarantee for the future

ADDRESS OF MR.. HUGHES.


Mr.. Hughes spoke as follows, being
applauded at various points:
Mr.. Chairman and fellow citizens:
The subject on which I am to speak
this morning is The Future of the Re
public and before approaching it I wish
in all sincerity to apologize for my
shortcomings and inability to do it jus
tice.
1.-The future Of this Republic is the
most momentous question that can &C.
cupy the minds of American citizens,
for it involves not only their welfare
but that of the whole human race to
deal Understandings with it. To make
any forecast of what that future will
be it is necessary that We take a retro
spective glance at the past, for in the
past at the fountain head of our history
We will find the seed that produced the
men and nation of today.
Going back a little more than cen
fury on the highway of time we stand
in the shadow of Washington and his
peers, the founders of this Republic, the
men who blazed through unknown
paths their way to freedom and laid
the foundation of an untried govern
ment on virgin soil, a government
where all were equal and none was
king.

IN EX-GOVERNOR

The Hawaiians in and about Wafaiua

about a week ago when Governor Car

of local and mainland guests were en-
| joying the hospitality of faleiwa hotel.
Among the guests were Archie McKif-
Top, the travelling man. and w. S. Gage
of san Francisco, the latter being the
representative here pro tenn of the Gage
Lumber Company of California
Gage found comfortable and quiet
corner on the lanai away from the gem
eral crowd. which was having good
time. A number of Hawaiians were
lettering about and the over-worked
brain of McKiIlop suggested a joke.
Governor Carter had had his innings
as the central figure for some time.
McKilIop sauntered over to a group of
natives and said:
.sDid you know that Ex-Governor
Gage of California is here?''
Everybody answered in the negative.
well, he's right here in the hotel,
and some suggesting that they are per-
nlitted to gaze on the great man. Me-
Killop led the way to Cages corner.
Gage was somewhat surprised to see
such large crowd at McKilIop's heels.
but in moment was apprised of the
visit.
Gentlemen, permit me to INTRODUCES
you to Ex-Governor Gage"
Everybody kow-towed, Gage respond
ed gracefully and failed to deny the
soft impeachment. Gage gave one for
Iorn glance at McKillop. but the latter
only suggested that perhaps everybody
was dry. 1t cost Gage so for the
round Gage does not carry about with
him the appearance of Governor, but
there's everything in name, and his
popularity and ex-greatness remained
unquestioned.
Cages one long suit is his clothes
He affects a style peculiarly his own.
Checked suits, white shoes, cross barred
vests and the most wonderful dreams in
vests are his hobby. His vests in fact,
talk loudly. and as he owns about two
dozen odd fancies in waistcoats, his
friends are treated to a Kaleidoscope
array during the sixteen to eighteen
hours which comprise the 4ex-Govern-
or's'' day. Like his vests. Gage himself
is a rapid-fire talker on lines suggested
by George AIDES fables.

many times by good many people on
the subject. Unfortunately, musician
nearly always has to live from hand
to mouth. teaching and regular hack
work bring grist to the mill: creditors
are insistent: one has to make ones
daily wage, and cannot afford to take
the desperate chance of making stake

opera. It may be safely said that not
more than five per cent of all the operas
written have ever been performed in
public So, in each case, was regret
fully compelled to decline the honor.
Last summer, when nearly all my
pupils were away in the country, Tom
Beasley came to me with the sketch of
the Ahkund of Swat. told him that
if we could work hard together and
finish it off right away, would make
the music. So together we went at it,
hot and heavy. Every day he would
send me set of lyrics: twice or three
times a week we would meet and dis
cuss dialogue situations, etc., and the
result was that within two months it
was finished. We had good deal of
discussion, but no friction. over. the

The siamese are learning to prefer re-

unrefned variety is increasing greatly.
There are no statistics showing the

not certain what causes this decrease;

is certain increase in the home pro-
