REPRESENTATIVE REEpER.

Farming in Hawaii is the best 1
have ever seen. I have lived all my
life in the newer part of the United
States, and may not have seen the
best development of farming in the
States, but this is the best class of
farming / have ever beheld. The irri-
eating bitches, especially those of re-
cent date, show a degree of skill and
engineering in the construction of the
works, including tunnels and fumes, as
fine as in the United States. There
is no question in my mind but that
the greatest advance toward improving
the condition of the people of the
Islands would result if a method could
be devised whereby small farmers of
the Anglo-Saxon race could become
owners of such sized tracts of land as
they and their families could cultivte
to advantage and procure livelihood
therefrom.
AS chairman of the National Irri-
CATION Association, L shall be pleased
to do all that is in my power to ex-
tend the benefits. OF that service to
these Islands, after method is de-
vised that will produce in the Hawai-
ian Islands the same conditions that
result from its use in the States.
That is the settlement of families on
these lands under conditions that will
give them a certain livelihood, together
with an opportunity to educate their
children in centralized schools, which
will unquestionably produce here as
good or a better grade of citizenship
than has been developed elsewhere.
by centralized schools, i mean "A cen
trail school in a district where the
the grades are established, and where
teacher particularizes or specializes
in one grade only, She gives her full
time and the children reap the benefit
and this will surely be noticeable at
the end of school year. When you
have several small schools in the same
district with only few scholars in
each grade and one teacher to over
see all classes, am certain the results
will not be as great as in the big
centralized schools.

REPRESENTATIVE PRINCE.

I have been very favorably i'm
pressed with your Islands and with
your hospitable people. The trip has
been one continuous source of pleas
ure and of information to me.
Your present pressing need is more
favorable means in going to and re-
turning from the mainland. You should
have better facilities for the trans
portation of passengers and the prod
ucts of your Islands. Your harbors
should be improved; your lands re-
claimed and irrigated; your Islands
fortified from attacks by either land
or naval forces. The above can be
carried out by Federal aid and appro-
priations. l favor the above. The in
ternal and domestic affairs properly be-
long to the people of the Islands.
You have good schools, good teach
ers and loyal people. In so
far as 1 consistently can with the
general welfare of the whole people in
view, shall gladly do what 1 can to
help in the landable and splendid work
you are doing here.

islands have many good roads, (better
than many of the older States upon
the mainland that have traversed, but
they need improvement and more of
them. You should have railroad on
every one of the larger islands, trans
portation facilities by land and sea
are the great civilizing and educational
influence in every land. Your islands
are fairyland indeed, and as the world
knows more about you she will be
anxious to become part and parcel of
you. Many, temporarily seeking rest
and recreation and comfort; many per-
manently believing that residence in
these faraway islands in the South
Pacific seas, under n semi-tropical sun
and your balmy trade winds, under the
protection of the Stars and Stripes, is
not an undesirable place to reside in and
become part and parcel of the moving
body polite. You should have better
means of communication with the main
land, and you are going to obtain it not
by the suspension of the coastwise
shipping laws, but by the development
of merchant marine which will carry
our mail, our passengers, our commerce,
and, last but not least, our flag; teach
ing an advanced civilization and
broader and more enlightened humani-
tarianism, wherever that flag may be

been touched by the cordiality of the
welcome and the warmth of hospitality
which have greeted us on every hand.
We were delighted to see the schools
of the islands doing such great work
in the direction of molding the mixture
of races into homogeneous people,
imbued with patriotism and love of
American institutions.

ter transportation facilities should come
diversiication of industries, and a
consistent and determined policy of in.
creasing the number of independent
home owners. This policy should not
be destructive of established industries
but its whole tendency should be in the
opposite direction from the feudal pol.
icy of concentration of ownership in
the hands of few, which prevailed
years ago before the islands were an
nexed. These islands will reach their
highest prosperity and development
when their rich and fertile fields are
peopled by independent and selfre

touching the needs of the Islands,
rather than those which concern their

have. Responding to that request,

transportation. 1t seems TO me there

/ feel under the deepest obligations
to the people here, to the commercial
bodies, and particularly to the mem
bers of the press, for the considera-
ton they have shown us.
AS to the needs of the Hawaiian Is
lands my notion is that the most press
ing need is to give you adequate trans
portation facilities and to give you
harbors, at least one on each island.
AS member of the rivers and har-
bors committee, L do not hesitate to
say that so far as / am personally
concerned l shall be glad to further
any interest that / can, consistently
with the interests of the country and
the state of the treasury.

should be done to give the people here
an opportunity to get out of here with
the same ease as they do anywhere

ton, more than where they have rail
road trains moving out constantly. l
don't know but L would favor, in
instead of an absolute suspension of
the law, tax on the ticket sold for
"a foreign vessel, or at least reduc-
ton in the fine from 5000 to $25 or
$50. AT least something must be done
to remedy the present difficulty.
/ have never been anywhere else
where the people SO impressed me with
the enterprise and push that has been
exhibited all over these Islands, and

You are yet young. People in the

see Congress put you in position so
that the people of the mainland will
know about you.

What congressman
Think of Hawaii


Anxious to secure from the Waiting
Congressman some idea Of their i'm
pressions Of Hawaii, and also to secure
from them some expressions Of opinion
din regard to the needs Of the Terri
tory, the Advertiser addressed letter
to each member of the party. In their
replies, all were unanimous in express
ing their appreciation Of the hospital
dty extended to them, and there was
no difference of opinion concerning the
future of the Islands. The letters fol-
low:
REPRESENTATIVE RoDENBERG.
This is my second visit to the Ha-
waiian Islands. Eight years ago, while
a member Of the United States Civil
Service Commission, spent two
months in the Islands, classifying the
employees in the government service.
This was shortly after annexation.
1t is very gratifying indeed to note
the marvellous advancement along all
lines that has been made during those
eiSuLIyeuio' I1ohoiuiu 10 pouay d uoo-
ern, Progressive and thoroughly up-to-
date American city. There is SPLEEN
did spirit of genuine Americanism
throughout the Islands which augurs
well for the future. All of the ami
mosities engendered by the change in
government have passed away and the
citizenship generally seems to be COM
pletely reconciled to American control.
Owing to your location you of course
are confronted with conditions that do
not obtain on the mainland. In his
very able address at the Commercial
Club banquet Wednesday night, Gov
ernor Frear set forth the difficulties
that surround you in clear and COM
prehensive manner and the remedial
legislation suggested by the Governor
to overcome these difficulties was 30
very fair and reasonable that 1 have
no hesitancy whatever in pledging my
hearty cooperation in securing the en-
actment of laws that will insure the
continued prosperity of the Islands.
Your delegate, Prince Kuhio, has
secured splendid results of most sub
stantial nature for the Territory in the
last few years. He has an extended
acquaintance with the members OF
Congress, and inasmuch as he enjoys
their confidence and esteem in the
highest possible degree, he will be able
to secure still greater results for the
Territory in the future.

Golfers at Mares Harbor.
Admiral Sebree's orders are to leave
Honolulu for Mares Harbor, Admiralty
Islands, on October 5. Mares Harbor
is about two degrees below the equator,
and Neptune and his court will board
the ships as they cross the line, to
initiate those who have never paid
toll. Mares Harbor is a British port,
but is not coaling station. The ves-
sells will take on coal, however, from
four GOLFERS, two of which will arrive
there from Norfolk and two from Ma
Mia. From Mares Harbor the feet
goes to Manila, possibly via the
Straits of San Bernardino. Consider

in off Manila and the fleet will then
be divided into two divisions, one to
go to China ports and the other to
Japan ports, rendezvousing off Yoko-
hama January 10, sailing for Honolulu
shortly afterward and arriving here
February l, 1910.
Sebree's Last Cruise.
The vessels will coal here and leave
for San Francisco on February 5 ar
irving there about February 16. On
February 20 Admiral Sebree will haul
down his flag and go upon the retired
list.
Colorado May Return.
1t is rumored' among men of the
fleet that the cruiser Colorado may
have to be detached from the fleet and
return to Mare Island to undergo ex-
tensive repairs, due to the boiler tube
explosion while en- route from San
Francisco to Honolulu. A board of
inquiry has investigated the explosion
and it is thought the damage has been
so extensive that repairs on the Coast
are necessary. There is also a rumor
that some of the officers on the Colo
RADIO may be shifted about.

THE NEW MEXICO MEMORIAL.

When Governor Curry of New Mex, icc sought to have a congressional committee investigate the reported wroHgdoings ia the territory he was not only conscious Of his own integ- rity but in the integrity of the citi- zens of New Mexico. That he was not seconded in his efforts in that direction by the legislative council Is no discredit to the governor and propably none to the legislators themselves. Although the. governor sought to have t done. the citizens thought otherwise. and they had g right t9 act as they did. Arlzonans would have done the same thing through 8 spirit of self-conseious
 pride. Had the charges of wrong doing been made against Arizona in- stead of New Mexico. it must not be thought for an instant that we would have fallen on our knees and
