Excerpt from A Trip to the Hawaiian Islands: With the Press Congress of the World Three weeks time in Hawaii is not long enough for one to see and know all about Hawaii, but the conditions under which the writer moved while there made it possible for him to see a great deal in a short while. The letters which comprise this little volume were written on train, on boat, in hotel room, or wherever it was possible to find footing for a small portable typewriter and pound off a few lines. They are published in this compact form, not because they are entitled to any great consideration from the reading public, but because I found it impossible to supply the demand for exchange copies, of our paper - The Evening Journal, Washington, Iowa - containing the letters. My product became too voluminous for exchange circulation. I desire in this connection to acknowledge the very great debt which, in common with the many other World's Press Congress delegates, I owe to the various Hawaiian committees who saw to it that there was not a dull moment during our stay on the islands.
