BEFO RE taking a policy of life insurance in any other company ask to see the CONTRACT - IN TUB - New England Mutual Life Insurance Com pany Of Boston, Mass. and compare the many advantages it offers with those of other companies Cistln Mb, Lid, 8RNBKAL AdBttTS valuable historical work ait Janan that hae yet bam paMlsbed. Tase are hia words: "if one ware tlelltitorately te aat one atr to Die task of finding acme evl deuce of Japamiie deafens againet the Philippines, one would certainly arrive at the ronclualon that there ie a total abaence of an- testimony of the Mutt. "We believe, for our own jwrt, tliat It the Philippines were offered to Japan aa a tree Rift tomorrow, alie would hesitate to accept litem, and if they were offered to her at the cost of American friendship she would treat the notion aa absolutely ridic ulous. "Japan's resources are already suill clently taxed In developing Saglmllen, Chosen, Formosa, and Kwantung, nd it is not always remeinbored that these additions to tho Empire or to her sphere of iuiluenco necessitate a corresponding dispersal of her forces. This is especially truo of tho Philip pines. Their inclusion In the Japanese Empire would greatly Increase the latter's responsibility without any corresponding access of wealth. "Tlio fact 1b that a more unsubstan tial bugbear Iibb never occupied tho attention of Intelligent people than this Philippine specter and Its Cali fornia nudience. But, unhappily, real ity can be created out of fiction. "If the anti-Jr.pnnoso agltntors of California din tltolr fears into tho'r own oars with sufliciont persistence they will become, in tho end, persuad ed Of their reality and they will also succeed in creating in Japan an ex aggerated estimate of tho anti-Japanese sentimont in the United States." In confirmation of this opinion I will quote tho words of Count Okuina, tho founder and head of tho Liberal party in Japan: "All future expansion must be oi a peaceful kind. Seizure of territory belonging to other countries, on what ever pretext it may bo done, is con demned by public opinion and is cal culated to arouse hostility throughout the civilized world." I am Informed that the Interna tional Press Association, which In cludes every representative In Tokio of American and European journals, at a meeting held in that, city recent ly, adopted a resolution declaring that newspaper men In Japan are unable to discover any basis in the circum stances or sentiment in Japan war ranting the disquieting speeches now being made in this country in regard to tho alleged warlike attitude of Japan. These newspaper nien may be regarded as having voiced tho feeling of the general Japanese public. More over, Count Komura, tho Japaneso minister of foreign affairs, has ex pressed the opinion that war ,wlth tno United States Is Inconceivable, and that "It would bo a crime without ex cuse or palliation." Mr. Chairman, there are a great many people in this country who have had tho fear of war with Japan dinged into their ears year after year for tho past ten years until they rare ly ever sleep at night without their slumbers being disturbed by a Japa nese nightmare. Laughter. It is astounding when we stop to think oi the extent to which we have gone in preparing to defend ourselves against imaginary enemies. I remember, as does the gentleman from Alabama, that it was only Ave years ago that the world first hoard the word "Dreadnought." That was In November, 100G, when England launched her first Dreadnought At that time tho estimate of the navy department for tho increase of the navy had been submitted to the sec rotary of the treasury for transmiS' sion to congress. It did not lncludo an estimate for a Dreadnought, but at that session of congress, In order to compote with Great Britain, an attempt was made in this house to au thorize tho construction of a Dread' nought. The authorization was not so cured, however, until the succeeding congress. Since then we have been constructing two of these great bat tleships each year. I trust Mr. Chair man, that tho amendment of the gen tleman from Tennessee, providing that but ono Dreadnought bo authorized will prevail. Applause. PINEAPPLE AREAS, No visitor should leave Honolulu without first visiting tho great pine apple plantations and canneries on this island. Tho Oahu Railway com pany has made tho visit possible at a cost of but ten dollars. This trip In cludes a two days sojourn between 'he city and Halelwa, returnlne via th pineapple plantations, by carrlago from tho hotel to "Wahlawa station tfhero tho train Is taken for Honolulu. It is a delightful and Inexpensive trip. tied hla parents. I The "garden bete and harness I air-ape" ounstsU of a pleee of strap I caactly twenty-Are Inoha long and , one Inch wide. No boy, since my nr , rival, has been whipped without a , good reason and a lot of them who should have received a whipping haic I been let ao. Three hoys, to my know , ledge, have been kicked, and In each j case 1 have reprimanded tho offender and have given hfm to undorsiand I that I would tolerate nothing of the I hind. One of the hoys was fighting, I and, when stopped by a guard, turned on that guard to whip him. He was kickod by another guard who ran to the assistance of the first Since that time, four or five months ago, no boy has reported to mo that he hns been abused or kicked. I have told all the boys to report to me when they con sidered that they wero abused and, as I have received no reports, I im agine they are getting good treatment. No boy is punlshod for tak ing 'an earned rest but gets bad marks for loafing as three ot thorn did aftor this visit. They stood and talked for oxactly one hour without doing a tap of work. The complaints about tho scarcity and samonoss of tho food may have some foundation. I' did not make the appropriation. The broakrast con sists of fruit, bananas or papains, mush with milk or molasses, ono half loaf broad, and coffee and tea. The dinner consists of moat, poi, sweet po tatoes, squash and other vegetables. Tho suppers consist of salmon, rice, broad or pilot broad, and milk. On Sundays they are now getting eggs. How many were gcttng that kind of food before coming hero? I do not think it looks oxactly like starvation. Deep sea fishing is only possible where one has boats, nets, and lines. If your roportcr or anyone else can tell mo how to buy boats, nets, and lines whon we haven't enough money to buy food, clothes and materials for making repairs, then I shall bo very much obliged for the information. The net your reporter saw upon the lawn was ono wo had cut and patched so wo could catch mullet for tho legisla tors' lunch. Tho statement that all tho mullet went to the teachers mess- room or the superintendent's house is n rank falsehood. In tho six months 1 have been here I have had just ono mullet and the teachers have fared lit tle better, because wo have done no fishing in tho pond. Every Saturday all the boys are allowed to go to tho beach, swimming or fishing, as they pleaso and each time they oome back with some fish, not many, to be sure. The question of bread Is a hard one to settle. Wo have not enough money to buy all our bread from Love's Bakery and try to do tho best we can. We realize that It is poor stuff but what is tho remedy? You will notice that I have asked for a bakery. Tho sample taken by Senator Hewitt was to bo used to help get money enough for a bakery.
