The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-05-07
(By Edwin L. Lobdell in Chicago
Evening Post)

(By Edwin l.. LODuell III OhlOd5O
Evening Post.)
HONOLULU, March 1--we arrived
in Honolulu on the comfortable ship
Hongkong Maru of the Togo Kisen
Kaisha on February II last, after
voyage of six days through smooth
seas and with fine weather all the way.
This is one of the most restful pla-
ces on earth, and the pussy man who
comes here and is willing to relax ana
leave his business cares at home is
sure to be greatly benefited thereby.
This is supposed to be the rainy sea-
son, but in the four weeks, nearly,
since we came there has been no rain
with the exception of possibly a few
light showers at night The season has
been unusually cool, the temperature
from 65 to Is degrees.
It has been ideal weather for golf,
which we have INDUCED in consider
ably, through the kindness of friends
who have put us up at the different
clubs The oahu Country Club is new,
having been in existence only little
more than a year, but the links are in
fine condition. Mountains surround
them on three sides, while on the
fourth the view of the harbor and Pa
cific ocean is superb.
The Moanalua links are the property
of S. NJ. Damon, a well-known banker
here, and are, if anything, more at
tractive than the others. Mr.. Damon
does not play golf himself, but keeps
these links in order at his own eX
pense. for the use of anyone who
chooses to use them.
Mr.. Damon's estate, on when th'
links are located, is one Of the mos
extensive | have ever seen, covering
many thousands of acres from the SCI
to the mountains. 1t contains severa
miles of fine drives and a great variet!
of tropical trees and shrubs, also ma
tive grass huts and many interestini
curios.

the wonder is that the professor did
not fall into one and lose his life.

him and brought him back, more dead

WHEN OUR LOVE BEGAN.

(UncIe Remus's Magazine)
The year is young, but its lineage runs
To the dawn of the far first day,
When the sun burst forth and the earth
was flung
On its splendid starlit way.
And so with the love we feel but now
1t began in the earlier time,
Ere the souls of men were garrnented
In the flesh of an earthly cline.
Twas there in the morn of the primal
state,
In the world of the truly real
Our love was born, our souls were Joined
In union fast and real.
We know il not in the sentient way
of the passionate embrace,
For we had no ken of mortal things
Nor the form of mortal grace.
With the sweet and fleet bewilderment
On a fast beatitude
We touched and passed in the whiriins
throng
OF the spirit multitude
Then sped our ways in the wilderness
OF a human destiny,
With only the feel of fain caress
And a mystic memory.
But ever we heard a mating CALL
And ever we sang the note
Till the good God brought us eve to eve
Aad we spoke from throat to throat
Now nothing matters of time or place
In mere mortality,
For the twain that loved in the souls
estate
Are one for eternity.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-02-22

his qualities as a man were the SUBJ
ject of detraction."
The charge was made that he svio-
lated the constitution in negotiating a
treaty with Great Brittany without the
previous advice of the senate, and i'm
embracing within that treaty subjects
belonging exclusively to the legislature,
was openly made plain, for which an
impeachment was publicly suggested.
and that he had drawn upon the treas
ury for his private use more than the
salary annexed TO his office was I'M
blushingly asserted" All the calum-
mics, all the pressure did not cause
Washington to deviate from the course
he had mapped out, and subsequent
history has abundantIy justified every
thing he did.
Washington is more popularity known
as soldier than, as a statesman, but
this many-sided man possessed the
most admirable qualities of both in a
degree that has never been equaled in
the history of the nation. His first i'm
portant mission, undertaken when he
was but q years old. was one more of
diplomacy than of arms. He was sent
in 1853 by Governor Dinwiddie TO as
certain the strength of the French on
the Ohio river and to deliver letter
to the French commander. The mission
was successfully accomplished. 1t is
related that Washington spoke very
seldom in the Virginia legislature, but
Patrick Henry once said that he was
''for solid information and sound judg-
ment unquestionably the greatest man
in the assembly," Washington was
unanimously elected president of the
constitutional convention that assem-
bled in Philadelphia in 1887, and his in
fiuenee over the proceedings of that
body was most powerful.
So, in peace as in war, he was the
greatest American. Only one other
name, the name of Lincoln, has ever
been coupled with his, and even Lin
coin is hardly comparable with him.
AS long as the nation endures, its peo-
pie will honor themselves by honoring
his memory

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

The passing of a century and three
quarters since the birth of George
Washington, and of more than a cen
fury since he passed into the here
after, has only confirmed and strength
ened the opinion that obtained among
the great majority of his contempo-
raries He was the greatest of Ameri-
George Washington to establish in this
country a monarchy. with himself as
its head. He never tolerated the sug-
gestion. He could have been president
as long as he lived, but at the end of
his second term he thankfully retired
to private life, beloved by his country
men, secure for all time of place in
the affections of themselves and their
posterity.
Washington, indeed. assumed the
presidency in the first instance with re-
luctance. And it was with the greatest
difficulty that he was persuaded to ac-
cept a second election. That second
term was full of trouble for him. His
theory was that the new republic could
not afford alliances with foreign ma
tions, and the strict neutrality upon
which he insisted when war between
France and England broke out caused
him to be bitterly assailed by the
American partisans of the French. 1t
was only natural that there should be
a vast deal of sympathy for France in
this country, for France had, only
few years earlier, rendered invaluable
assistance TO the colonies in their
struggle for liberty
Washington must have known that
his attitude would make him for the
time. unpopular. but he knew it was
best for the country and, with stead
fast courage, he chung TO it. Some
idea of the feeling against him may be
obtained from the statement of Chief
Justice Marshall In his Life of Wash
in yton" that "the military and poIit-
icsl character of the president was at
tackled. and he was averred to be to-
tally destitute o. merit, either as a SOL
der or statesman. The taIrmnies
with which he was assailed were not
confined to his public conduct. Even

THE REVOLT AGAINST sMooT.

Two incidents of Thursday are signifi-
cant as bearing on the future OF Utah's
politics. One was a meeting of prom
inent Republicans opposed to the smoot
regime in their party; another was the
announcement in a Washington news
paper that the senior senator might be
a candidate for the senate to succeed
himself Incidentally, the interview
gives the impression that Senator
Smoot fears combination against him
of Democrats and Americans" led by
Samuel Newhouse. as a senatorial can
didate.
Anybody familiar with the attitude of
the Democratic party or the personal
convictions of Mr.. Newhouse knows
that the talk of such a combination az
outlined is foolish. There viii be no
combination of the Democrats With
ership; the party will preserve its in
tegrity, as 1t always has; it viii not be
committed in advance to any one
mans political for unes. and il will not
be identified in any n ovement which
looks to participation in the factional
fight of the Republican party on either
side. SO much for the fairy tale from
washington
x
The formal assembly end preliminary
organization of Republicans who OPP
pose Senator Snioot as a dominant fac
tor in their party is significant. be-
cause it is the first open expression Of
an increasing dissatisfaction, in the
party with the results which have fol-
lowed Senator Shoots election and as
sumption OF leadership. All OF the men
who participated in Thursdays meeting
are staunch Republicans, whose loyalty
TO the organization Is unquestioned;
they have made and are making their
fight within the party; they represent
no individuals ambition: their only de-
sire is to prevent the complete disrup-
ton and decentralization of the party,
which is foreshadowed in its record for
the past four years. II any body of
