President Wilson's note TO the Ger
man government will appeal to the
approval of every true citizen Of the
United States Of America. Dignified.
firm and clear in its statements, IL
leaves no room for the imperial Ger
man government to mistake its mean
ing Germany must take immediate
steps to prevent the recurrence of
anything so obviously subversive of
the principles OF warfare for which
the imperial German government have
i'm the past so wisely and so firmly
contended:" "The imperial German
government will not expect the gov
ernment of the United States TO omit
one word or any act necessary to
the performance of its sacred duty
of maintaining the rights q Of the
United States and its citizens and Of
safeguarding their free exercise and
enjoyment"
This statement of the position of
this government follows the recital Of
the aifronts TO the American govern
ment in the sinking OF the Falaba, a
merchant ship. through which an
American citizen was drowned: the
attack on an American vessel by a
German aeroplane, the torpedoing OF
the American ship. Gulhight. and the
taking of the lives OF over one hun
dred American citizens by the sink
ing of the Lusitania; these acts con-
stituting "a series OF events which the
government of che United States has
observed with growing concern, dis
tress and amazement."
Recalling the humane and enlight-
ened attitude heretofore assumed by

1--WE have with us today" more than
a hundred members of Congress. their
wives and families and distinguished
guests included in the most import
ant party Of national lawmakers that
ever visited the Pacific.
For seventeen days they are Ha-
waits guests. The territory voices its
"aloha" for them with the deepest
cordiality and sincerity. II is for Ha-
waii tremendous opportunity, just
as il is for many Of the congressman
their first opportunity to visit the ter
ritory. Il is an opportunity for us to
get acquainted and for them TO get
acquainted
Inevitably Hawaii is at somewhat
of a disadvantage from its isolated
position. Comparatively few of the
men making laws in Congress have
known the islands from personal visi-
tation. There are peculiar problems
here which are much easier of solu-
tion after personal inspection even II
for few days only.
Ii is a matter of cOngratulation that
since. of its own initiative. it became
annexed to the United States and en-
tered the union of States and terri
tories, it has had in Washington many
firm. true friends. They have known
conditions here, either from visits or
from painstaking study. and aided the
legislation that best advanced the is
lands along progressive lines in in
dustry. political organization and
social welfare. Some OF these friends
are in the party that arrived today.
There are many things that Hawaii
is anxious for our friends in Wasli-

THE NOTE TO GERMANY.


From the New York Sun.
The note which Ambassador Gerard
will carry to tho German Foreign Of
fee this morping is impeccably ur-
bane, though mot without little IRON
les, in its tone, friendly in spirit, res
olute in its assertion of American
rights and of the freedom of the seas
It recalls Germany's contention for
that liberty. Il summons Germany
as witness, so to speak. by her own
enlightenment. against the destruc-
tions and deaths wrought by her sub
marines upon unarmed neutral or bel
ligerent ships and passengers. Il as
sumes that these inhuman acts were
unauthorized and it calls upon the
German Government to disavow them
TO make such reparation as can be
made for loss immeasurable; and il
demands that immediate steps be TAX
en- against the repetition of such acts.
The United States will not omit
"any act necessary TO the perform
ance of its sacred duty of maintain
ing the rights of the United states
and of safeguarding their free exer-
else and enjoyment" This is not the
least significant passage in paper
which without vaporing. without a
trace of rodomontade, affirms, with
the quiet resolution that is one of Mr.
Wilson's most salient characteristics,
old, inalienable right, justice. human
ity. which the American people will
not easily give up.
The President has spoken firmly

idea extending from plantation to
plantation around the islands.
II is not that Hawaii boasts of these
things. But we take pride in them.
We are proud not only that our su-
gar production is credited with being
the most scientific and efficient in
the world. but that the leaders of in
dustry and business are also devoting
very large part of their time and
their means to human welfare in Ha-
waii.
These comments we make without
fear Of being misunderstood. Friends
have come to visit us. We want to
show them around our home and let
them know what we are doing TO

fare for which the German govern
ment have in the past so wisely and
firmly contended." The United States
thus calls upon the German govern
ment to practice what It has preach
ed and so leaves no legal or logical
ground for any answer but one that
will fully recognize the rights of
Americans and all other neutrals and
noncombatants under international
law, and the recognition of such a
right must carry with it a complete
disavowal of the lawless tactics which
German submarine warfare upon
merchant ships has involved. Ger

aLAME DUCK PALMER AND THE SECOND TERN.

III ON. A. MITCHELL PALMER, Democratic boss Of
II Pennsylvania and unsuccessful candidate for
the Senate last fall passes into the "ame duck" class
by President Wilson's and has been appointed to
the Federal Court of Claims In the interval between
shifting from political shirt sleeves into judicial ermine.
Mr.. Palmer pauses to remark that Wilson will be
nominated despite the fact that the Baltimore platform
declared in favor OF single term for the President.
II is understood that Palmer has letter from Will
son on this subject that the President feels that
the Baltimore convention merely committed the Demo-
Gratis in Congress to action limiting the Presidential
incumbency to term.
Wilson's intellect and sophistry better
displayed than in the making Of such an argument.
The Baltimore platform is by unntelligible.
1t says; 1--WE favor single presidential term and to
that end urge the adoption of amendment TO the
Constitution making the President of the United States
ineligible for reelection, and pledge the candidate
of this convention to this principle"
On this platform Wilson elected and the Demo-
Gratis carried Congress. They have done nothing in
Congress to bring about "the adoption Of amendment
to the Constitution" and now Wilson. by means of a
letter to Palmer seeks to avoid the principle" TO
which the Baltimore platform says he is pledged"
However. discussion of the subject is interesting
only as showing Democratic inconsistency; for, in a
practical sense on domestic issues tho candidate
OF the Baltimore convention has already shown himself
to be one-term President
