Amid a burst of music and a general
buzz of conversation the luncheon be-
gan, to be shortly interrupted when
the Acting Governor arose to make an
address of welcome to Secretary Taft.
Mr.. Atkinson said the people of the
! territory, as whole, had constituted
themselves a committee for the enter
tainment of the Taft party. In regard
to Mr.. Taft, he had been here before
he took the oath of office as Secretary
of War, and he might, according to
present indications, be called to a still
higher office. He said the people of
Hawaii were proud to be a portion of
the United States and of their ability
| to govern themselves He thought they
could justly say they We're worthy of
their American citizenship. They had
placed high ideals before them and
| lived up to them. The territory lives
within it's income, he said, thanks to
the economical spirit displayed by Gov
ernor Carter. The money of the terri
tory had been spent on public works
and was a good asset.
Though we are taking care of our
selves, as far as our local affairs are
concerned" he said, 1--WE need assist
ance which you senators and repre-
sentatives can give. We should have

harbor deepened and we want a tariff
on coffee. We want appropriations for
/ fortifications. Hawaii is the most i'm
portant of the United States outlying
possessions, and is more important, in
some respects. than the Philippines.
Ladies and gentlemen, as Acting
| Governor of Hawaii, 1 give you well
come, and trust that this visit will be
pleasure to you as it is a pleasure
to u.s."
After drinking to the toast of "The
President" proposed by Governor At
kinson, Secretary Taft responded, in
part as follows:
TAFTS ADDRESS.
Governor Atkinson, ladies and gen.
y tlemen:
THE welcome that We have receiv-
