Ray Stannard Baker writes In tn
October American Magazine a shor
article about Ex-Queen Liliuokalani q
Hawaii who. at the time of her de
thronement in 1892, was a famous per
sonage. much Ina the public eye. Sh,

Baker writes;
AT one time some twenty years ago
there was no more unique and inter
esting figure before the American pub
lie than Liliuokalani. Queen of the
Sandwich Islands. For weeks during
the administration of President Cleve-
land. while she was struggling TO re-
tain the royal crown of Hawaii, her
doings filled the American press and
she was n favorite for the gibes of
cartoonists and paragraphers.
II saw her recently in Honolulu.
She was driving out. according 10 her
custom. I'm an open carriage really

an air Of distinc tion not unqueenly. In

the palace where she once reigned-
the palace where now sits the Ameri-
can governor. She shuns publicity,
but she loves to gather groups of her
old friends about her, and TO listen
To the singing of the sweet Hawaiian
songs. Though having no longer any
power. she is vet looked up to and
venerated b. all her people-all the
pathetic remnant of once numerous
race of islanders. While she waSI
attacked in her day by the
Americans who wished to rule the ISL
lnds. and while she caused revolu-
lion which cost her a crown, there are
many today who will tell you that. af-

WHY IMPERIL PROSPERITY?

Business is good Prosperity reigns
The outlook for the future, providing
the Republican administration is re-
| tanned. is roseate-so why risk a
change politically? why elect Roose-
welt, whose radicalism would disturb
business and keep the country in con-
stant turmoil? And why choose Will
son, whose tariff policy for revenue
Only would hit labor everywhere and
bring back Democratic hard times and
the soup houses?
As we said. business is good, and tho
people are prosperous Here is what
Henry Clews. the well known New
York authority on general business
conditions, has TO say:
I'm all parts Of the country business
is becoming daily more and more act
i've. one Of the most encouraging fea-
tures is the satisfactory increases in
gross railroad earnings reported for
August by many prominent systems.
September and October returns are
sure 70 be even more satisfactory. Our
great industrial establishments are
running on full time, particularly the
steel industry, and many Of these con-
Germs are likely TO close the calendar
year with much better balance sheets
than a year ago. Labor is we'll en-
ployed, there being an assured demand
for willing hands in almost every line
of employment at good wages.
IN short business conditions from
the Atlantic TO the Pacific are emf
nently sound and satisfactory. Politi-
cal conditions are also improving. Dis
content is disappearing. largely owing
70 the more satisfactory state of com
merce and industry. The wide and
insistent calls OF the politicians who
wish to be in the limelight are hap
PLY losing their effect. the public be-
ing weary Of agitation. Political
scares are possible between now and
election day. but the disposition to
ignore the politician is more pro-
nounced today than at any time in the
last two years. Hysteria at present
belongs exclusively 60 the politician.
The average man has been thinking
He has about decided for whom he
will vote next November and now
wishes TO be let alone and get 10
work"
The situation demands the re-elec-
ton Of President Taft, that these good
times may be continued In the first
political speech he has made since he
accepted his nomination. Mr. Taft at
Beverly. Saturday. laid special stress
on the country's prosperity. He point
ed out how the nations mills and fac
tories are humming with business. de-
clared that protection and Republican
rule are responsible for this, and
asked his hearers II they remembered
the days Of 1898 and 1897. when. he
said. interference with the countrys
economic policy brought on hard
times. Just a glance backward on
those times will convince the average
voter that TO vote any other but the
Republican ticket would be to endan-
ger the prosperity now enjoyed.
