But lliank the Gods we need fear no sucb enme fr»ra the administration in Wa8hiugt>»n. Our j>rivate advjces inf >rm us that a treaty helween Hawaū and Ameriea will be proposed. That full self g»vernment will be granted to Hawaii a;.d lh.it the U.S. of Araeriea will dec dt whal form of government it ehall be after a vote has been taken atnong the Hawaiians—showing bryond u doubt the will of th,tt ueople. The treaty will be a comraercial treaty leaving Hnwaii ;>s au indej«endent s >ver.v.g;;ty • , rt»r a virtual pr«1 tector.ile >fU S. And that treaty will be r t ii 1 in Hi*v«ii only by a govern.neut su|n»>rted at the b>il!ot b by the voteofthe j>eople.

We are sorrv for Mr. DoIe loeing his five year job—but yet we consider Mr. Paul Neumann the longest-beaded man in this communitv.
