Dyer of st. Louis, member of the
party. That the islands are not sat

Mr.. Dyer, who also declares that sew
eral other members of the party are OF
the same opinion.
Soldiers Too Few. He Says.
"The Hawaiian Islands," Representa-
tive Dyer says. ARE the cross roads OF
the Pacific. The United States should
hold these islands by all means, and
provide there great naval base. We
must have there also up-to-date forti-
fcations, with the best and most mod
ern guns installed. We have not sufi-
cent soldiers upon the islands. We
should keep division there at all
times If we give heed to these mat :
tiers the Pacific coast and the Panama
canal are safe from attack. OF course
the United States must keep in the
Pacific ocean a proper sized. equipped
and modern fleet of battleships, sub
marines. etc"
The Hawaiians generally, Represen-
tative Dyer explains, are interested in
the repeal of the free sugar provision
Of the Underwood act. a provision un-
popular with the republican party. of
which Representative Dyer is a strong
member. The Hawaiian sugar produc-
ton is enormous, reaching s58.000,000

Lesson to Be Learned.

According to the United States een- sss, the population in California cities of over one hundred thousand people has increased, in the decade from 1900 to 1910, from % to $7.3 per cent. The population in districts out side of cities of ten thousand and over has decreased from 56.9 per cent. in 1900. to 46.7 per cent. in 1910. Most of this decrease of the percentage of population of agricultural districts has gone to the big cities of over one hundred thousand
 This clearly shows the prevailing ter deney It also shows the grave necessity for building cities that are fit places for the permanent housing of the larger part of the population.

Efficient City Plannina.

It must not be understood that the artistic effect has always been the only aim in city-planning schemes of the old regime There Were. excep- tions, the most remarkable one being the case of Berlin in the $, venteenth and eighteenth centuries. when the Prussian rulers practiced in very efficient and far-sighted manner city planning on an entirely social basis. working with powerful hands for the rapid opening and building Up Of wide and healthful suburban areas, with out neglecting the beauty ef She cen tral district
 It is largely due to this powerful and advanced city planning that Der lin. from little medieval town of 5000 people, became one ot the iead- ing capitals of Europe, with lGa000 people at the beginning of the French revolution. This social kind of city planning, however. was the exception, and, with the entire change of the political situation caused by the French revolution the social tenden- cies in city planning suffered the same decline as artistic city planning all over Europe
