HAWAII MAKES
FAST RUN BACK

! What he saw at Denver and en- route
/ iolted his ideas of the Importance of
the Islands in a national sense very
severely and he is back impressed with
the idea that the very worst thing that
the Hawaiian people could do for
themselves would be TO unite on any
raceNline politically. 1t is stated that
he is warning every one of his friends
that any such plan as was cooked
up before and during his trip will not
work at all, and that while the Hawai-
ians here outnumber the haoles, on the
other side of the water there are hno-
les enough to put the Hawaiians where
the Indians of the mainland are to-
day-without votes, without power and
without prestige in the councils of the
nation.
1t is reported by his brother dele
gates that Harvey remarked very
pointedly at Denver that there seemed
to be very little Home Rule sentiment
in the dir, and it is expected that he
is going to spread his wider ideas as
far as he can among his countrymen.
Just what Jarrett will think of this
sort of thing is hard to say, because
it is nn the solid vote that he expects
] to get for himself and which he expects
to swing between himself and Carlos

4 The first part of the course was
against the wind, and in the beat in
light airs the little Gladys slipped by
the schooner. The Kamehameha was
passed before Point ALA was reached
and when day broke she was barely
IN sight. The Gladys was passed some
time during the night and was moi
sighted during the rest of the cruise
They caught the wind fair from tn,
; northeastward shortly after shutdown
and it gradually shifted with the al
tered course from the beam to tn,
quarter. The wind blew we'll all night
but after sunrise it dropped and the,
had very light airs for about six hours
: Then the wind came up again and the,
came bowling along at full nine e
ten knots an hour.
0 When the wind was far enough af
for spinnaker to draw, Charlie vii

out kite. Finally he struck on til
n idea of taking the foretop prevente
