NEXT GOVERNOR
OF KENTUCKY
To Be Given Great Reception
At Hartford.
Always Popular With Ohio Conn-
ty People Where He Is
No Stranger.

The coming of Hon. Augustus E.
Wilson, Republican nominee for Gov
ernor of Kentucky, is looked forward
to by people of Ohio county, regard
less of politics, with genuine pleas
ure.
Every possible arrangement will be-
made to give Mr.. Wilson splendid re-
ception, and II the weather is good
the largest crowd ever in Hartford on
such an occasion may be expected. Mr..
Wilson is no stranger to Ohio coun-
ty citizens, having spoken here in
1892 and 1899, in the memorable Tay-
lor- Goebel campaign. He has been on
the stump in every campaign in Ken
lucky for more than tweYIysgears, and
he is surpassed by few in oratory and
his logical. pleasing address convin-
ces his hearers wherever he goes. He
never INDUCES in SANDER or vilifica-
ton, and his speeches are void of any
appeal to party prejudice. His smile
is contagious and is of the kind that
never wears off. Since his nomination
at Louisville last June he has grown,
steadily in The esteem of the people,
and his tour of the State, so far, has
been one continuous ovation.
A reception committee, composed of
many prominent Republicans, will
meet Mr.. Wilson at Beaver Dam at
1880 Friday morning, and after lunch
con there will accompany him to Hart
ford, the procession forming at 1915
p. m. The Fordsville Brass Band has
been engaged for the occasion. The
committee has requested Hartford bus
mess men Of all parties to decorate
their business houses on that day.

There could be no such thing as a

question which this proposed body

cd that the people made no mistake
in their effort to solve at the polls
the problem in a way that would
bring the greatest good to the great

We like TO meet the man with Il
smile. We love the man with tongue
free from bitterness, whose voice is mu
sic to the ear and whose hand-shake
is an inspiration. He compells us to

bright side of every cloud. He makes
the world brighter, better and happi-

The Democratic leaders have no
love for a Protective Tariff, but a
wholesome fear of making the old
sweeping attack upon it has possess
ed them. And in the hearts of the
Democratic masses the idea is taking
root that Protective Tariff is pretty
good thing. They have become con-
WINGED that it means the multiplied
ton of factories, higher wages and
larger opportunities for working men.

ships which then piled all waters. His thirst for knowledge and religion at tracted widespread attention. Samuel J. Mills, a young man who had come to New Haven from Williams college, ] was especially interested in this lat est man from Macedonia and he took Obookiah to his own home, at Torringford
 Mills was missionary enthusiast. He was the prime mover in the little band of Williams students who had devoted themselves to the cause of foreign missions, and whose historic prayer meeting in 1896, under a Will liamstown haystack, is regarded as the beginning of the American foreign mission enterprise which today em- braces practically all Christian churches in the land and has made the American missionary a conspicu- ous figure on all the continents and islands of the earth Out of that hay stack meeting-the site is now marked 1 by a monument-grew the American board, then representing both Congre grationalists and PreSbyterians.
 Obookiah's pleadings pointed to Hawaii as the first stronghold of heathenism to be attacked by the new movement and the young zealots who were it's real leaders. In 1919 party of 23 persons, seven of whom were wives and five children. set sail for the long journey around the horn, their departure being made the occa- sion for solemn celebrations in New England They arrived at the end Of March, to learn that, by a dramatic coincidence, unparalleled in religious history, the idols had been burned the altars and the deadly taboo had been most extraordinarily ripe for mission ary effort.
 The Romance of the South Seas.
 Things had been in a bad way in the Hawaiian islands. Civil war had for centuries been the rule, until i Kamehameha the Great, sort of dusky Napoleon, had consolidated the islands under one rule. Vice at it's worst was common and open. Two thirds of all the children born, it is estimated, were killed in infancy and aged parents were often buried alive Human sacrifice was an essential part of the religious system Stealing was fine art; even kings and chiefs kept servants for the express purpose of committing theft. Gambling went oa by wholesale. When food was plenti- ful, the native would gorge himself six or seven times day, even rising in the night to eat. At other times he would eat but once a day, or go hun gry altogether Science they had none; no written language, nor the least conception of any mode of com municating thought but by oral speech.

coverer, Capt. Cook. were populated by race of remote Aryan origin. who in the sixth century before had been driven north from the Samoan islands, over thousands of miles of sea, in canoes of their own making. AS late as the thirteenth century they main tained relations, mostly warlike. with the people of the southern Polynesian archipelago. They never practiced cannibalism, though human sacrifice was one of their religious rites. They were a race of unusual vigor, longevity and comeliness. Their skill in handi- craft is attested by the marvellous feather cloaks once worn by Hawaiian royalty, and now the almost priceless possession of few museums.
 Such was the stock from which came the 14-year-old boy, bearing the euphonious name of Obookiah, who, in 1909, was found weeping on the doorsteps of Yale college. He had fled from Hawaii, having seen his parents slain before his eyes in a civil war, and had made his way to America in one of the New England

they had found naked savages. For in 1863 the American board formally withdrew from the Hawaiian islands which it had entered in 1920.
 Are the Missionaries Grafters? There, broadly stated, is one side of the situation. On the other hand, it has been charged. by innumerable per sons and publications, that while the missionaries to Hawai- pointed the be- nighted native to mansions in the skies they at the same time quietly took possession of the natives earthly real estate. That the whole island even since it has become territory is the private graft of the mission aries and their sons is an accusation familiar to almost everybody.
 Hawaiians Still Worshiping Devils. Even more serious, to my mind, was the charge made by Prof. William T. Brigham, director of the famous Bish' op Museum of Polynesian objects, in Honolulu. Prof. Brigham has spent a lifetime in the study of South Sea Is land history, manners and customs He declared to me that the work of the Christianization and civilization oi the Hawaiian people has been alto gether superficial, and that, if the whites were to move out tomorrow the native would be found restoring his old altars and worship the very next day.
 AS proof of this he said that he had recently found native judge in one of the Honolulu courts-I think he said a United States court-worship- ing at an old native altar in one of the remote parts of the Island of Oahu Within a stones throw of the Bishop museum where we were talking, was a broken down altar, which, at the time of the political overthrow in 1893 was reestablished, along with a some what general recrudescence of idola- try throughout the islands. Within three months, he further said, in the city of Honolulu itself, native priest had fallen dead while conducting heather rites before the altar The WOTSulDGJS, lCdl IltI liidI IhC oShii would catch them also, quickly bundled up the appliances of idol wor- ship and carried them to Prof. Brigham, for they said, he would know what to do with the devil better than any other man of their acquaintance.
 Obookiah and the Haystack.
 Before setting down the conclusions of a first-hand investigation of re- ligious and social conditions on these islands (which investigation has in cluded interviews with thoroughly-in- formed representatives of all parties, and a study of great mass of docu- mentary evidence, available only here) it is necessary to tell the story of Obookiah, and of the islands as the missionaries found them.

 A Complete Product of Missions.
 As widely -heralded completed product of missions Hawaii has long been advertised by missionary work CTS. It has been said, times without number, that this is one of the few places on the globe where the mis- sionaries finished their task; leaving to support and direct themselves as a Christian nation, the people whom, little more than generation before,
