Senators and an occasional Secretary
of War-the Territory, incidentally, is
not under the War Department, but
under the Department of the Interior
have been the highest officers of the
United States yet to visit the islands.
Now, at last, the President himself is
on his way to Honolulu, and the resi-
dents of Hawaii feel that they can
show the very highest authority what
good Americans they are-can make
him understand what they have been
trying to do, not only for themselves,
but for the Nation of which they are
an integral part. If he goes with an
open mind, the time of his visit is
most opportune, because the recent
sugar legislation has made them won
der whether. after all, they had made
a mistake in considering themselves
really part of the Republic.
Will Find No Sugar Bar0ns.
In some aspects the President Will
find what he expects TO find. Inc
climate. the sea and mountains, the
soft trade winds and the flowers will
undoubtedly live up to the reputation
they have honestly acquired. But the
President will have great difficulty IN
discovering some of the other things
for which the islands are famous-or
infamous. He will find no sugar barons
living on their beautiful estates, be-
cause there are neither barons nor
estates. He will find no missionary
descendants rolling in the wealth that
has come from the lands of their an
cestors stole from the innocent
Hawaiian natives.
AS 1t happens, the missionaries, who
NAV have been narrow minded ac-
cording to modern ideas, certainly
mad the highest ethical principles and
neither stole nor accepted land except
for public purposes. In fact, he Will
find no rich men at ali as riches are
Judged in the vicinity of our great
cities. Instead he will find a rather
large element of men who are COM
fortably well to do because they have
been thrifty and hardworking. He will
find no sugar plantations owned by
individuals or families, because the
stock of all the plantations is widely
distributed and is held as permanent
investment by all sorts and conditions
of people. *

of life he will soon discover that the

IF PRESIDENT TAFT had been
able to put through his idea of
Canadian reciprocity, l imagine
that by now Canada would feel
itself as almost a part of the
United States or that we should feel
ourselves a part of Canada. Certainly
that was the effect in Hawaii of the
reciprocity treaty between the Ha-
waiian Kingdom and this country.
The annexation in 1898, one Of the re-
suits of the war with Spain, really
made very little difference in the is
lands. because for years we had felt
ourselves a part of the United States.

Gov. Dole, but otherwise things went

There were advantages and diSadvan-
tages, and in the eyes of the Ha-
wailanS il is probable that the disad-
vantages were a little more striking
than the advantages. We were no
longer free to import labor from any
part of the world; We did not find it
easy to give up TO the Government in
Washington the taxes which had come
into our own treasury. But after all
those things, although irritating. were
not of supreme Importance. We felt
that We had come home: We knew that
We need never again fear that some
other nation-Japan. for example

not giving that up, it somehow simply

Senator William Gibbs McAdoo, Mrs.
Rafael Lopez de Onate and her mo-

between trains here today en- route
to Washington, D. c., on a honey

The bride, the former Ellen Wilson

pertaining to the honeymoon to
others about the fur on Mrs. de

The couple married Saturday at
Albuquerque, N. Mex.
The 19-year-old granddaughter Of
the late President Wilson and her 81
year-old husband appeared at the
Union Station later. They persisted
in their silence, but from other sources
it was learned that they had engaged
Pullman reservations on the Manhat-
tan Limited for Washington, leaving
at 1890 am.
The honeymooners breakfasted in
the station coffee shop. Mrs. de Onate
wore a plain wedding ring of yellow

O decline Of 46.5 per cent in the same
period. Z
In the first half Of 1884, the review
says, Japans shipments abroad were
almost 10 times greater than Americas.
A highly important factor account
ing for Japan's increased share of the
available world textile market has been
its monetary policy. In the latter
part Of 1881 the country abandoned
the gold standard, and the yen has
subsequently, declined approximately
66 per cent from its theoretical par
value. This depreciation has been
substantially greater than that of
other important exchange units, help
ing the country to undersell foreign
competitors.
