newspaper. Honolulu has more japanese
daily papers than English. more Oriental
newspapers than English. Hawaiian, and
Portuguese combined. II has a great
number Of periodicals printed in different
languages than any city OF its size in the
United States.
The japanese element Is the most ag-
gressive Of any OF the non n-European
peoples in the city. The Chinese were
content for years to remain within that
quarter Of the town set apart for them,
but the japanese have resented such a
distinction and have oYerfowed with both
shops and homes into all parts Of Homo

name.
| Nnuanu VALLEY Iss a battle ground in
/ the glorious days OF the ancient Hawaiian
war gods. II was sacred as the site OF
native temples long before the mission

/ over to beautiful villas, golf links, and a
/ fine automobile road. In this picturesque
and romantic valley II Is proposed 10

stream looks as II it were fed from the
SHOWS of the sacred Fujiyama, and the
rocks through which 1t seurries might be

Now for a Statehood Campaipn

The Phoenix Republican, in speaking of the election of Ralph Cameron says: "The intsrroga tories made in connection with the Cameron vote can of course be con- strued in but one way by demo crats and republicans alike, and that IS that Arizona wants state hood. The. people of the territory have taken the republicans at their word and the party will now be ex pected to make good. Governor kIbbey expresses himself to be greatly gratified with the result in the territory. He says that he be- lleves the election of Cameron greatly enhances our prospects for immediate statehood. He suggests that Cameron's visit here on his way north from Bisbee, should be made the occasion of the orga niza- tion of a statehood campaign. Having elected Cameron, the peo- pie should immediately get busy to accomplish that for which he was elected"
 The Republican speaks wisely. Statehood clubs should be formed in every town in the territory, and a strenuous effort made to secure statehood. An excellent start has been made, and if followed up by hard work, will win statehood.

 Some of the figures relating te the republican slump in certain states regarded as certainly repub
 ican, are little short of amazing Pennsylvania's immense plurality of over 50O,OOO four years ago has been cut ia two Illinois, which gave Roosevelt 3O5 ,OOO in 1904, has gone for Taft by about 100000 The highest claim of the republi- cans for Indiana is 15,OOO as against a plurality of 93,OOO.
 Iowa, which gave MT. Roosevelt 15S GOO plurality in 1904. has drop ped down to bout 10000 for Taft The return of Missouri to the demo- eracy has wiped out a republican plurality of 25,OOO four years ago
 Maryland and West Virginia are eonfidentially claimed by the republicans, but the returns are too meager to justify a classification of either state. Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey were strik- ing exceptions to the generally re- duced republican pluralities.
 There has been a shrinkage in the democratic vote in several of the southern states, notably In Virginia and North Carolina.
 MT. Taft has carried Wisconsin by plurality estimated at 75,OOO. a falling off from the Roosevelt plurality of 156,OOO in 1904.
 Kentucky has gone safely for MT. Bryan by about 5000.
 Representative w. s Cowberd las prooaDly been elected gover- nor of Missouri over Hadley, re- publican.
 Governor John A JohusHn. ,f Minnesota has ben elected gover nor of that state for second term although the state has gone safely for Taft.
 Mir. Taft carried every 80 called doubtful state except Nebraska, where the indications point to a democratic victory. Mir. Bryan has carried Nevada and Montana In addition to the solid south. which includes Missouri. Mary. land IS claimed by the republicans.
 Returns from Colorado are too meager to form a definite copclu slon as to their ultimate alignment.

ANOTHER CRUSHING DEFEAT FOR THE PEERLESS ONE

w. H. Taft. of Ohio, has beer elected president with 29S votes secure and thirteen doubtful. Practically no change Is indica, ted in the complexion of the natlon al house of representatives. The United States senate will retain its present republican ma jority.
 Governor Hughes has been re elected in New York state by aboat 76,000 plurality. Indiana has gone for Taft by from 15.OOO to 1S,OOO plurality.
 Bryan apparently has carried Nebraska, although the republi- cans still claim the state.
 Ohio returns have been seriously delayed owing 10 the immense size of the ballot, but Taft has carried the state by majority ranging from 5O,0OO to 75,OOO.
 Taft carried New York City by about II ,OOO plurality, this being the first time the city has given it's vote to republican presidential candidate since 1896, when McKin ley had small plurality.
 Mir. Taft received a greater plu rality in New York state than Roosevelt did four years ago. The indications point to 2O2,OOO for Taft, as against 175 900 for Roose- welt.
 Hisgen. the Independence party candidate for president received about 2S,000 votes in Greater New l York.
 The indications are that demo- cratic governors have been elected in several of the middle western states that have given their presi dental votes to Taft.
 Taft has exceeded Roosevelts plurality in New Jersey and in Massachusetts, as well as in New York.
 The republican plurality fell off heavily in the middle west, in manner thoroughly surprising to the republican managers.
 Speaker Cannon has been re elee- ted by his usual majority.
 Representative Payne of New York and Representative Dalzell. of Pennsylvania have been re-elec- ted and the house of representa- tives will probably continue under. it's old regime.

Locally the election went off very peacably. The day was very beautiful, climatically. and the candidates who were here, and their friends, hustled around after the voters in way that made the old town look livslier than it has since the Fourth of July cslebra ton. There was very little drunkenness and disorder. The election of NJ. J. Rounseville to the office of jus- tice of the peace, and that of Rob- ert Postle to the office of constable are victories for the local republi- cans, but the majorities were 70 slight that the defeated ones can take a great deal of consola ton from them. The surprise of the day was occasioned by the heavy vote received by Ed Hamilton, the socialist candidate for bly, man. MT. Hamilton has a great many personal friends here, and it seems that many of them did not forget him at the polls. He should feel very proud of the vote he received.

Teachers to Visit Tucson

The Arizona Teachers Associa- tion is to meet in Tucson during the next week, and it will be ad- dressed by some of the best lec- turers on education that are to be heard in the United States. The trustees of the Flagstaff and Will
 jams school districts, believing 1t to. be to the best interests of the public schools, have decided to sand the teachers to the meeting and to pay their expenses. This will be great treat to the teachers and the benefit to the schools will be more than can be realized. The new ideas gathered from the lec- lures and from the contact with other teachers will bring new life into the schools, and the trustees are to be congratulated on taking the initiative in this matter. and the teachers are to be congratulated on holding positions in one of the most progressive schoolsin Arizona.
