Hawaii the arrangements made by the
various committees dovetailed with
scarcely hitch and were carried
through in a manner that gave the
visitors the very best of opportunities
| to see all that was of interest in the
! islands and also with the greatest
comfort possible in the many out of
the way places stopped at. Secretary
Atkinson, who headed the party and
planned many of the trips in conjunc-
tion with the local committees, work.
ed indefatigably, his efforts being ably
seconded by Senator Chilingworth,
Senator W. o. Smith, Senator Palmer
! Woods and others who joined the par
I ty from time to time. Secretary Nc
Clellan and Judge F. NJ. Hatch also
did all that was possible in forwarding
the plans of the various committees
land supplying information, while L.
A. Thurston was another member of
the party to whom any of the Con-
gressmen knew that he could turn for
, information on almost any one of the
many subjects that kept coming up.
Rev. Stephen Desha. who Joined the
party at Hilo, was also an excellent
addition, particularly on the last voy-
age. when he was called upon to recite
many Hawaiian meles and relate some
of the ancient folk lore of the islands.
THE LAST MEETING AT H1Lo.
On Thursday night a most interest
ing meeting was held in the Armory
at Hilo, arranged by the Hawaiian
residents of that section. The meet
ing was the occasion of a number of
happy speeches by various members
of the visiting party. Secretary Atkin-
son, introduced by Prince Cupid as
'our next Governor" made the OPEN
ing address. He shook his head in
disparagement of the Introductory title
but carefully avoided any reference
whatever to 1t in his remarks. He was
followed by several of the Congress-
men. who each congratulated the Ha-
waiians on the loyalty displayed to the
flag and the patriotism manifested on
every hand.
One interesting feature OF the meet
Ing was an oratorical contest between
Congressman Cole and Rev. Stephen
Desha, who acted as interpreter. The
statesman is a particularly fluent
speaker and has a command OF Eng
| lish possessed by few, but his most
involved and flowing sentences failed
to stump the Interpreter and the Con-
gresham had to confess that in the
contest he had come out second best.
The other visitors who spoke were
Congressman Alexander, Stevens and
capron.
The departure OF the Kinau from HI
10 was lively one. The Hilo band
was present 10 play their alohas. each
member OF the party was presented
with MALE and lehua ieis and there
were cheers and handshakings and alo-
has for all, AS the steamer pulled out

CONCRESSMAN'S s
PARTING WORDS

Congressman Edmund Y. Webb, who
mainland on account of the fact that
he received a cable message that his
wife was very i'll, was very enthusi-
astic over the trip. He said:
Il could not have enjoyed trip more
than l have the present one and am
sorry to be called away SO suddenly
but must go home on account of my
wife's illness. l can say without any
fear that in the next session of Con-
gress Hawaii will have twenty-six rep
resentatives who will see that she is
taken care of better than she has been
in the past.
Il have been surprised at the modest
requests which your people here have
made of us. There has been nothing
asked that l know of which should not
be granted and which we will not favor
when Congress convenes. The fact that
so many of the members of Congress
will be able to get up on the floor
and state what we have seen with our
own eyes will have a great effect when
bills which relate to this Territory
come before us, The other members
will know that we have seen the condi-
tions and will accept our judgment on
this account.
II am sorry that there We're no more
members of the Senate in the party.
but l believe there were twenty States
represented in the party, and each
member will carry weight with his dell
egation. When we came down here we,
or at least some members of the party,
expected to see lot of ignorant saw

Wanted Santa Claus TO
Bring Watson S Magazine.

There is one boy in Atlanta, at
least, who believes that Santa Claus
is a delightful reality. At any rate
letters addressed to. him bring re.
turns promptly and just according
to request.
In The Atlanta Journal shortly
before Christmas, among the let
ters from children telling what they
wanted for Christmas appeared the
following:
Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 10, 1906.
"Dear Santa Claus: thought I
would write and tell you what |
wanted. [ am nine years old. l
want an automobile, ballbearing, and
a knife. A book, Treasure Land
and also Tom Watson s new maga-
zine. Some nuts, candy, apples and
oranges. Your little friend,
cyan Allen Pierce.

This little stray paragraph chanc-
ed to fall under the eye of the edi-
tor-in-chief himself, and he prompt.
ly wrote the following letter to Master
Pierce:
Thomson, Ga., Dec, 1906.
Master Van Allen Pierce,
36 Chapel ST., Atlanta, Ga.
My Dear Young Friend: 1t was
only by chance that happened to
see in The Atlanta Journal your
wish that Santa Claus might bring
you my new magazine.
AS Santa Claus quit coming to see
me about forty-two years ago, am
afraid that any request which I made
of him might go astray. But if you

Watson ought to be encouraged. Had
he sacrificed his convictions, he
might have been in the United States
Senate. But he has chosen to stand
by his convictions and battle for the
cause Of the common people"
The Crofton Journal talking
about Nebraska - remarks that
" there are editors gifted with de-
sire to roast somebody but without
the ability, but if you want to get
the real article hot off the griddle
you should send and get the first
number of Watson's Jeffersonian
Magazine which Thos. E. Watson is
now publishing at Atlanta, Ga. He
tells the inside history Of his connec-
ton with the Watson's Magazine of
New York and it is a masterpiece
in the roast line" !"
And the Grand Island Democrat
(quite a bunch Of them from Nebras-
ka) says:
"Watson's Jeffersonian Magazine
comes to our desk this week, and it
is most creditable publication. Tom
Watson was squeezed out of the New
York Watson's Magazine because he
refused to allow Blackmaier Mann
of Town Topics fame to dictate his
editorial opinions. But Watson is
too brainy a man to be suppressed
in this manner and he bobbed up Sc
renely at Atlanta, Ga, with a new
magazine which outclasses the New
York publication.
"Mr. Watson is accused of being
radical, but there is no reason why
one should not be radical in the ad-
vocacy of truth. He tells the truth
in such forcible language that it
makes the guilty squirm. /"
Which the same will have to do
for this time, though we omit, for
the present, many of the most nota-
BILE and most generous.

him in this particular instance, I
will take pleasure in putting your

received what you told the Journal
you wanted.
With best wishes for your future
usefulness and happiness, and with
she compliments of the season, I
am,
Very truly yours,
(Signed) Thos. E. Watson.
In due course Mr.. Watson received
the following reply:
Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 80, 1906.
My dear Mr.. Watson:
was very much surprised to re-
ceive a letter from you in answer to
my letter to Santa Claus in the At
lanta Journal He brought me every
thing | asked for except the maga-
zine, but reckon he thought it was
too far for him to go to your house
to get it, or too late to write to you
after he got my letter, but will ac-
cept you as you say substitute and
thank you too. read everything ]

And then there is Jackson over in
Mississippi, where The News has
this to say:
1.-THE News has received the first
issue of Tom Watson's Magazine,
known as Watson S Jeffersonian Mag
azine, and published in Atlanta. The
first issue is very interesting one
from start to finish. Mr.. Watson
gives a detailed account of his doings
with Col. Mann, he Of Town Topics
fame, who now owns Watson s Mag
azine, published in New York with
Watson out Of it, and from what Mr..
Watson says he was given a very
rough deal by the man WHO was ex-
posed by Golfers Weekly. The News
has not always agreed with Tom
Watson, but has always admired his
sterling courage and his steadfast
adherence to what he believed the
best interests of the people. His
magazine is to be political and liter
ary combined. In the first issue he
hits Hearst hard rap for nesting
with Boss Murphy, whom he had de-
nounced, and hits Bryan a lick for
swallowing Hearst and his Murphy
deal. One thing is certain, Watson's
Magazine is going to keep the ami
mails agitated.'
In faraway North Dakota The
Fargo Forum says: "Hon. Thomas
E. Watson, in the opening number
of Watson's Jeffersonian Magazine,
fays Colonel Mann Of Town-Topics
to a finish. 1t will be recalled that
the colonel secured judgment
against Watson s Magazine in New
York and froze out the editor, who
has started new magazine to take
the place Of the original, which was
published in the metropolis. MIR.
Watson is decidedly radical, but no
one will question his honesty and up
rightness, and he seems to have the
best of the present controversy.
Out in Texas, that sterling guar
dian of the public veal, the Cleburne
Watchman, with which the magazine
has clubbing arrangement, says
Subscriptions are coming in to
Watson's Jeffersonian Magazine. Ev-
eryone who has seen it says without
reserve that it is the best" The
Pioneer-Exponent, of Comanche, says
it is lin every way up to the expec-
tatiens" Of Mr.. Watson's "most ar
dent friends. 1t is full of good
things, and is far ahead Of the New
York magazine, which he has repu-
dated. Watson is one of the most
brilliant writer's Of the times, and he
will undoubtedly accomplish much
good with his new magazine.
