quence in that attitude" Percy Hun.

lulu saying there was nothing like it
in his experience.
AS to Hawaii he said he would re.
turn TO the mainland thinking better
of the mixed races of the Islands.
Californians did not think much of
some of them, he said, but he had seen
the children of the races and the mix.
true of races, marching as school chill
dren under the Stars and Stripes and
it gave him a better thought of all
the races. He will take that thought
back with him and endeavor to give
his Californians the same thought. He
believed that children brought up under
such influences as are evident here
would make them good citizens. The
problem had been met here and par
tally solved.
Results of Promotion.
Doctor McCormac, hailing from the
Sound country, expressed his apprecia.
tion of the work of the promotion com
mittee. Honolulu, through the adver.
tising received, is reaping great bene-
fits and has many sincere friends in
the Northwest, those who have been
here once returning as boosters of the
Islands. Old sea captains, who had
been whalers decades ago, were great
promoters for the Islands, and he, al
a marine hospital surgeon, had beer
advised by many of these old seameI
to visit Hawaii some day.
There should be no regret over thu
money spent here for promotion work
he said. Immediate results may not bl
noticed, but great results would bt
realized in time. Honolulu was bount
to become one of the worlds grea
cities.
Tourists the Vanguard.

We're needed in Australia. The popnla

! American colonies at the end of tn

colonies were under the protection O

iprotection he did not know what woul
/ become of Australia. However, tn
: Australians were a very determine
J. people and they have decided thei
g country must be kept quiet and the in
migration question enters largely int
this matter The colonies must b
populated, and that is why his stat
looks with favor upon any scheme I
bring tourists there. The tourists al
regarded as the vanguard of the hom
n seekers.
Il America is the nearest populate

fore that was the reason why Austral
looked to America for more peopl
es Australia wanted white people NJ
