There stands In Honolulu massive statue

It is that Of Kamehameha the Great. He
1t was who made kingdom Of Hawaii and
developed his land 30 that he and his people
passed from state OF barbarian and half
savagery into q close approach to what We
now call civilization. The figure is heroic
and the massive headdress upon Il closely
resembles the symbols worn on their heads

It Is q far cry from the condition In which

HAWAII oRrrINo SOME OF HER MONEY BACK
One comes away from Pearl Harbor
wondering why the Government could
have delayed Its development 80 long.
This 10 all the more surprising when one
considers what Hawaii has done for the
rest Of the United States since annexation.
Only last year the customs receipts in
Honolulu amounted to more than 81 500. 900.
Every cent Of that was oent to the national
treasury In Washington. In the old days
Hawaii would have had that money to spend
for herself. She has already given the
United States moro than $40 600. 600 in oold
cash as the price Of annexation. She will
continue to give 1t millions more, as the
years 60 by. She has got almost none OF
her money back.
It would seem to be no moro than or

dinary justice that at least q good share
Of tho money levied BY the Government in
Hawaii should be expended there. especially
a. 1t means national safety for the entire
mainland. A meagre million Of the enor-
nous sum Hawaii has sent to the Govern
ment is now being used for the develop
ment Of the great national harbor here.
There are those who say that the least

say. two-thirds OF the revenues OF the
Territory. and spend tho sum here. In q
few years Pearl Harbor will be q splendid
naval station. II this plan should be fol-
lowed. The Territory could use the money
from its own revenues In broadening educa.
ton and advancing the betterment Of agri-
culture and good roads. Why shouldn't
Hawaii have the right to spend q good
share OF the money she raises for the United
States Of Americaf Let the start be made
with Pearl Harbor.

general body Of water through which

resembles in rough outline a three leaf
clover. The stem Is nearly, three miles
long and from one-hah to three-quarters
Of ppile wide. At the upper end the stem
branches into two forks, one Of which runs
into what IL called West Looh and the other
into Middle Loch and East Loeb. Tho water
