campaign thunder is sounding already
in the native press on all the islands,
with plenty of indications of the
strictly Hawaiian movement
The Kuhio supporters are reported
to be i'm line with this scheme, even if
Kuhio is nominally a Republican In
fact his Republicanism is regarded as
a very nice proposition to line up the
Republican organization practically be-
hind the Home Rule party as far as
the delegateship is concerned. It is
reported that a secret native organi-
zation exists which will take any other
prominent Hawaiian out of the race
for delegate against Kuhio The pro-
minent Hawaiian leaders are said to
gaiust Kuhio.
At the same time Kuhio's strength
among real Republicans. Hawaiian or
white, has suffered something of a
slump recently Several prominent mem
bers of the party have declared them
selves opposed to his being nominated
again. and the indications at pre- sent
are that he will have a very hard jot
to make the Republican convention no

Mr.. Joseph /. Keefer of this city, who
is very much interested in the history of
General Washington. and who has visited
many places in pursuit of data in the
history of the general. has for long
while. among other things. been trying
to find the place of Charles Washington's
home in Charles Town. w. Va, and has
striven to obtain the correct explanation
of its name,
Considerable of the ground upon which
Charles Town is built was owned by
George Washington. and desiring to start
town there he asked the assistance OF
his three brothers. They bought large
tracts adjoining from Lord Thomas Fair
fax. the owner, through his mother. Of
the kings grant.
George Washington IN 1880 laid out
the town and named it for his youngest
and favorite brother, Charles Washing
ton. who built house at the west end OF
the town. calling it Happy Retreat. :"
This same Col. Charles Washington of
the American army was born at the
Epsewasson home on Dogue run, three
miles back of Mount Vernon. in Stafford
county. May 2, 1898. He married Mil
dred Thornton of Spottswood county.
and four children were born to them. two
| girls and two boys. George, Samuel.
Frances and Mildred.
| Charles Washington died at Happy
Retreat. and is buried few hundred
yards from the place. which remained in
the name of Washington. and belonged
to his children until about the year 1916.
when it came into the hands of relative
named Douglass. who was desc -;ndant
of James (Morton) Douglass. Some say
he was the second, and others the fourth
son of Sir George Douglass of Pitten-
driech, Scotland, who became an earl IN
1I553. and afterward high admiral. Up
on the death of his father, the Earl OF
Morton, James Douglass was elected
regent of the kingdom of Scotland, which
he held until June, 1881, when he was
beheaded for his conspiracy in the murd-
er of Darnley, the handsome husband OF
Mary Queen of Scots.
The castle or home of these Mortons
was Mordington, a parish on the south
coast of Scotland, named Berwick-th
word mort" signifying mortal and
Mordington meaning in the old languages
Happy Retreat.
| After the family of Douglass became
possessed of Charles Washington's home
they bnilt large colonial mansion moi
far from the old original house which be
built,a and called theirs after the old home
IN Scotland. Mordington. and this is 10
Gated few hundred feet from the site Of
Happy Retreat, which has long since
gone to decay.
There is a movement in Charles Town
to have monument erected in the court
house square to the memory of Colone
Charles Washington. Charles Town wa:
| first incorporated about the year 1880.
Mr.. Keefer upon a recent visit tc
Charles Town proved Mordington and
Happy Retreat to be both of the same

An Editors Dollar.

Once in while even Republican ed
itor will forget to heed the standpat in
junction for time, and in such moments
the ones in which his honesty prevails
over his party politics-he says and
writes things that approach to the digni.
ty of revelations. When one of these
editors reach the convalescent stage in
his standpat affection it is well to note his
sayings and to dwell lovingly on the rare
quality of truth which they contain. Here
is the song Of the dollar of the editor OF
the Gazette, published at Emporla, Kan,
and it is worthy of careful perusal.
We have been invited to send dollar
contribution othe Republican campaign
fund that is being raised by popular sub
scription, and to which President Roose.
welt re Gently subscribed. Weshould like
to have our dollar in such select company,
all right. but we've done all the contrib
u.ing we intend to this year. We recent
ly have completed building house at a
cost of something over 81, 600, and for
every foot Of lumber, every pane of glass.
every sack of cement, every pound of
nails and in fact for nearly every bit of
material that went into it we made a good,
literal contribution through the trusts
lat control them. and we guess we have
done our share. 1t may be treason for a
Republican newspaper to talk this way
but facts are facts, and it sort of relieves
our conscience to tell the truth about
trusts once in while. Well just let the
several trusts to which we have had to pay
unwilling tribute in the past year pay
our dollar for us. We need it and they
don't .
This good Republican brother, has, at
least, beyond peradventure, gotten mink
ling as to who pays the tariff tax.
