eous elements. to come 10 its adele
ments that are capable of harmonious
cooperation with its highest purposes
and ideals.
There are two conditions, not in
compati bIe with each other, which rea-
son and common sense impose on the
solution of this problem.
First: So far as concerns this great
Republic, Of which Hawaii is a part,
the supreme interests of civilization
must be sacredIy preserved. These in
terests are Identical with those Of our
Anglo-Saxon civilization and Of a
broad Amerieanism.
Second: A wise and tender regard
for the financial and vital interests Of
Hawaii herself. What those interests
are I have already pointed out; that
Hawaii must have cheap labor in order
to carry on with a reasonable profit her
staple industry from which comes
SO 1-2 per cent. of her income.
Not only are these two conditions
compatible with each other. they are
correlatiye and essential to each other.
Rob the country of plantation labor
and you starve out the material basis
on which our civilization is founded.
Why should we insist on maintaining
our own civilization unchanged? What
a question for an Anglo-Saxoni Be
cause it is ours: because it fits us and
we are welded to it; because it is the
evolution and fruitage of our history
for a thousand years; because to re-
sign it and adopt another would be
impossible. suicidal.
The evolution of this race-problem
is the finding or establishing of a
modus vivendi by which the Occidental
and the Oriental can meet together
under certain restrictions for the pur-
pose of exchanging certain benefits,
not for the sake of supplanting and
ousting one another from place or
function.
There has been entrusted to US a
rich heritage; let us see to it that we
pass it on unimpaired.

CONGRESSMAN L|LLEy
ON HAWAIIAN PEOPLE

Hon. George L. Lilley Member of
Congress from Connecticut. delivered
an address entitled Impressions of
the Hawaiian People"
Mr. Lilley said in part: With the
keenest pleasure I have contemplated
the honor accorded me in the request
by DR.. Smiley to make a few remarks
on our island possessions which l Wis
tied with the Congressional party last
spring. and upon which at this mo-
ment the warm rays of the tropical
sun are shining down.
The character of the Hawaiian peo-
pie reflects their natural environment.
The wonderful phenomena of Nature
makes them pOetical and superstitious;
the continuous beauty of the tropical
verdure and the mildness of the eli
mate make them happy and care-free.
Their cheerful carelessness impressed
me strongly. Could it be possible, I
thought, that these islanders express
ed that Christian command BE not
therefore anxious for the morrow; for
the morrow will be anxious for it
self. Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof" If those words mean COM
plete freedom from worry, here is a
people that fulfills the command. If
a natives pot of poi runs low, the
neighbours pot comes willingly to the
rescue, even to the last ounce.
The native is a composite of super
fatalities. He is a born politician.
Give him a title and an Office and he
is happy. He will not work at manual
labor, but is proud to be a coacbman.
Like the Indian, the negro and the
Filipino, he has not known the great
moral or conscience evolution of the
Anglo-Saxon. His father and grand
father We're aimless, care-free, I'M
moral He has the burden of this heri-
tage.
Strange it is that the percentage of
illiterates is lower than in the State
of Massachusetts. This shows that
education in the arts is not the most
important education to a people.
The Hawaiians are a race of chill
dren From us must come education
and government. From the native
chief to the lowest among them votes
are purchasable. A Hawaiian has no
conception either of personal indepen-
dence or the innate value of charac-
ter. Hopkins says that the mission
aries had the discretion "to see that
the genius of this people was utterly
unfit for seIf-government."
The sons of the missionaries have
realized that religion is more than
sentiment and emotion; that there is
a world of truth in that statement that
he who makes two blades of wheat
grow where one grew before has done
more in the service of mankind than
the greatest orator or preacher; that

encouraged by subsidy as to give us
speedy and frequent transportation so
essential to the development of our
Territory.
Hawaii's earnest desire is that no
hostile legislation be enacted, but that
every encouragement should be given
to prevent the merchant flag of the
United States from becoming a curio
rare enough for the Smithsonian In
stitution.

Coming to Tennessee.

Mr.. Padgett had a long talk with
the Secretary of Agriculture today and
arranged to have the experts from
the department. who are going down
to Tennessee this summer to address
public meetings of farmers go into
the Seventh District counties and
make a series of speeches on various
topics of interest to tillers of the soil.
Secretary Wilson said he would leave
with Mr.. Padgett the task of arrang-
ing the dates for the meetings, and
tie latter will fix the schedule after
conference with the farmers of the
different counties of the district.
Mr.. Padgett has arranged with the
Bureau of Soil to make a survey OF
the soils of Giles county this summer.
He is also interested in the work
which the Geological Survey is doing
in Williamson County. He used his
influence to have the survey of the
county made, and he believes it will
result in demonstrating that there is
much mineral wealth in the bowels of
the county of which little has been
learned by the world at large.
While here Mr.. Padgett also had Il
conference with the Engineering Blu
reau of the War Department rela-
tive to the survey of Duck River, pro-
vided for at the last session of Con
gress. He was assured that the sur
vey would be made in time to have |
the report of the engineers ready |

ber Mr. Padgett hopes the engineers
will recommend a plan for the i'm.
provement of the river, and will sub
init a protective Washington Special

WASHINGTON or HIS VISIT
TO ANNAPOLIS.
Will Have Government Engineers To
Survey The Classic Duck.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. June 10
The Board OF Visitors OF the Nava
Academy found during their recent
annual session at Annapolis that haz
ing is absolutely abolished. The
board not only had the assurances OF
the officers in charge of the institution
and the middlemen themselves, that
the practice had ceased. but the testi-
mony of outsiders. citizens of Annap-
oils, who are familiar with conditions
at the academy. was unanimous to
the effect that there is no more haz-
ing. ..
"And the institution was never in
finer condition" said Representative
L. p Padgett, of the Seventh Tennes-
see, a member of the board. who was
in Washington on his way home from
the session at Annapolis. THE
discipline is excellent; in fact, 1t is
very doubtful If it was ever better.
They give the lie to the frequent state
ment that discipline and the morals
of the school could not be maintained
were hazing abolished"
1t was interesting to hear Mr.. Pad
gett describe unexpected visits to the
mess-hall made by various members
of the board during meals. 1--WE
found the food excellent, well selected,
and well prepared" said Mr.. Padgett.
1.-The only complaint was able to get
out of single one of the boys was
that too many vegetables were
served; that they were given three
when two or even one
could be enough. 1t struck me that
was very funny complaint to make"

FRANKLIN. Tenn, June 11.-Be'
lieving that there is a bright future
before Franklin. partly due to the
construction OF the interurban rail-
road. public sentiment had exerted IT,
self to such an extent that a meeting
was hel dlast night in the courthouse
to organize Business Mems Associa-
ton. One OF the largest crowds ever
seen here for like purpose was pres
ent and enthusiasm ran high.
BY reclamation Geo. H. Armistead
was selected as temporary Chairman
and Prof. Hal Peoples Secretary. Mr..
Armistead assumed his duties, stating
in few words the object Of the meet
ing and the benefits that would come
through such an organization. Sew
eral prominent citizens made short
speeches along the lines for which
the meeting was called, the towns
present and future needs and how best
to meet them.
A motion was carried directing the
Chairman to select a committee Of
i've on Permanent Organization, Con-
stitution and Bylaws and to report
20 another meeting, which was called
jor next Monday night.
1t is believed that by united effort
md strong pull Franklin's popula-
ion can be almost doubled within the
lext FIVE or six years, as no better or
,rettier town can be found in the
State. 1t has already to its credit one
# the finest gravity systems of water
