Citizens OF Honolulu will do we'll to

the Taft party will do. that this COM
bination Of Senators and Congressman
Is being taken across the Pacific to see
The Philippines and at the expense of
he Philippine government. What Hoo
Lolulu gains from the visit will be
aimed at the expense of our more re.
ont and relatively poorer insular pos.
session Of the Far East.
1t cant do the people OF Honolulu
any harm to recall this fact. 1t may
explain some things to them which
might otherwise be suggestive of lack
of interest on the part Of those passing
through. Honolulu and Hawaii will
not be sighted. No public man Of
depth and strength will slight any part
of his country. On the other hand
we are entirely incidental to the trip
The names Of the members OF the
party ana the leading committees Oh
which they are members indicates that
Secretary Taft's chief ain, II W Secure
the favor of the WAYS and Means Com
mittee FOR free trade with the Philip
pines. He has some Foreign Rela.
lions men along with him and picked
here and there from all the commit'
tees but all with view to further
Interesting men who would hold the
Philippines and protect them.
Therefore II Hawaii has anything tc
say, II will do well TO prepare to say

that Secretary Taft's first interest 1:
the Philippines, that the Philippines
has the right to claim first place II

expenses it is paying. and what W,
gain will be the result Of intelligent

his party organization? This accusing
fact will not down, that the trusts did
fill Mr.. Cortelyou's campaign Golfers

comforting assurance, vouchsafed by
both Mr.. Root and the President, that
