Though he had left this territory and Hawaii
had heard only occasionally of him since his
departure two years ago. Walter q. Smiths
work here has remained to speak for itself in
many evidences of an increasing public spirit
and recognition of what constitutes good gov

of all this news suppression in Europe is going
to be that no accurate and vivid history of the
greatest war of modern times will ever be writ

from the dispatches of the combatants them
selves. incidentally, under these circumstances
history is going to overlook whole shoal of

the Civic Convention President Harrington has
suggested that the subject be assigned under
three heads:

Faith in our men.
Faith in the tourists
Faith with no end-and lots of work
HOPE
Hope for the future.
Hope backed by brains.
Hope born of courage
Hope with high aims.
CHARITY
Charity begins at home.
With charity toward all, we should buy

WIDOWS FAR IN THE LEAD
Females Who Have Lost Husbande
Greatly Exceed the Males Who
Have Lost Wives.

Why are there twice as many Wild
ows al widowers In the United States!
Is It because widows are more reluc,
tant than widowers to re-enter the.
married state. or does It indicate that
the wife will outlive the husband?
These questions were raised In Z
statement dealing with national NOR
tality issued by the conservation de-
partment Of . leading life insurance
society, which continued:
In 1910 there were 3.176.12s widows
and but 1,471,390 widowers in the Unit
ed States. The census shows the n
tonishing fact that there were 10.2e1
widows below the age Of 20 and but
LILO widowers.
ITO what extent does the fact that
the average age Of the husband u !
little higher than that OF the wife ac-
count for this? i
From the age OF twenty to twenty
