Julia Katherine nafBca. former vlos.
president ~ tho Illinois NomAn'a
Pfcsa Association. who came hcfc from
! Rockford, Illinois. spoke with Interest
concerning ben Attendance &c tho con.
gfcee. Eha said that during the
twnntyhte yca1 Of existence OF the
association q has enjoyed considerable
prestige and sdnds delegates 70 many
organizations, including the National
Editorial Association, and lastly 70 tho
Pan-Pacide Travel Congress Of New
America This was a purely patriotic
move on the part Of her pssociation,
she said. It's writer's are loyal TO their
country and they perceive the immi-
nence Of Hawaii'a statehood and they
I desire to further that contamination.
Mrs. @. W. Settle, representing the
WOman's National Press Association
Of Washington, d. c., conveyed the
congratulations Of that organization to

Poetry From tho Northwest.
DR.. ]. I. Mccormack, representing
the Marshfeld Chamber Of Commerce,
was introduced. He said;
Il seems like q matter Of ease as
TO what to do after we have seen the
results of your wonderful work in adj
vertising this country. The only criti-
cism that have to make is that they
have underestimated and overlooked
some of the advantages that they have
here. Personally, believe that as q
health resort it is one Of the garden
spots of the world and Il haReseolHe
here and am going away, entirely
cured as the result Of this wonderful
i climate. Now as to the class Of, peost
pie which you wish to gets hereT
/ Through this whole Pacific country .yout
wish the tourist, because, ras oCalif9r5g
mia and Oregon and Washington have
j learned, the tourist of today is tbe;r
taxpayer and resident of tomorrow-I
The tourists Of over ten years ago
comprised from twenty to thirty per
cent Of the population of California.
There are, of course, two classes of
people here, and the benefits received
] by those in poor health have astonish-
ed the whole world.
s'Hawaii is building up faster bhan
any part Of the United States and the
only question is don't advertise some
thing that you do not have. There
are many features here that you prob
ably do not realize the value of from
the standpoint Of tourist. You have,
of course, your volcano and one of the
greatest harbors in the world.
our harbor is your greatest re-
source, and if yOa did not have this
harbor travel would not come this
way They know that you can take
the largest ships of the world in the
harbor of Honolulu, and this is one of
the greatest features in building up a
good city having a big harbor. I am
glad to see that yo1 do not hold forth
any hopes for those classes that viii
not be benefited.
/ An "old" Community"
tsI remember that this is one of the
oldst communities in the world. You
had colleges here long before we had
them in California. Your business
houses that are now in active business
were here fifty years ago. Business
has been established on the old con-
sentative European plan and is as solid
as the rock of the Islands. And then,
in your professional lines, you do work
! that compares favorably with the
largest cities of the United States
q And one of the other problems is
i your race problem. Kipling has said:
sFor East is East and West is West,
and never the twain shall meet, but
he mnst have said it before he came
to Honolulu. This is without founda-
| tion, for no American citizen who be-
/ lieves in the strength and In the sub
/ stance of his public schools can be-
lieve otherwise than that the pupil
who starts in the primary school and
has learned to salute Old Glory win
be anything but good citizen by the
time he has reached twenty-one years,
/ (Applause.) do not believe that it
win be necessary to have any govern
Iment here by commission, but do be-
1ieve that when the time comes Hawaii
win take its place among the States OF
the Union and add one more star to
our Old Glory.
!. Gathers Tribute.
sfFor hundreds Of years Constanti-
nople gathered tribute from all the
cities Of the East, and now Honolulu,
the Empress of the Seas, seated ON her
coral throne, gathers willing tribute
from all the nations Of the whole
world, and as they depart she deco
rates them with the leis of everlasting
friendship and lures them back to this
Paradise of the Ocean with the sweet
strains of Aloha Oe.n
Boosted for Los Angeles
F. Q. Story, representing the Los
angeles CnhmDer OF commerce. was Eue
next speaker. He said: y ~

hearty sympathy with this congress ]

give you in few words what 7 have9
: to say. When first went to look upon
J those in Los Angeles on account Of i'll
health, the city contained about 5000
} people. 1t seems to me ps though il
was the other day. The chamber OF
commerce was formed some few years
! after that and its entire press has been
} devoted to the building up Of southern
, California. In 1900 the population was
