THE BISHOP AND
DOLE.


against Bishop Willis because
this clergyman declines TO offer
special prayers for Mr.. Dole.
We have in a former issue stat
ed that if Mr.. Dole's friends
should request the Bishop to pray
for the president as an individual
afflicted or in sorrow such re.
quest will Immediately be grant
ed and all future tribuiations o!
the Advertiser set at paught. We
will further say that we feel as
sured that when Dole becomes
the true head of free republic,
called to his high Office through
the voice of people. the special
prayers will not be omitted but
be will have the full benefit OF
them.
There is In the Advertiser
editorial about this matter par
agraph which is worthy of notice
Mr.. Armstrong who. by the.
way, intellectually and socially
is not worthy of blackeuing the
Bisbop's boots. saws in regard
to the Iolani College:
But what is the effect upon the
company of small boys of his
school, who are compelled to
worship his person, if not his in
tellect? Shall these precious
youths grow up in total ignorance
of Mr.. Dole's lawful state? Must
their little minds be warped into
the belief that he is an Illusion,
a sham, usurper?
The great consideration of the
Advertiser editor for the young
Hawaiians at the Bishops school
is really touching.-Since when
did the gentleman become so ten
der towards the coming genera
ton of the race which be despisesl
However it takes the most un-
limited amount of cold gall to ask
the question if the boys are to
believe that Mr.. Dole is an il
fusion, a sham, a usurper." What
else can they consider him?
Don't they remember that Mr..
Dole was a "loyal' subject of
Queen Liliuokalani, enjoying her
good will and holding one of the
highest offices in the gift of her
government
Have they not learned that
this man for whom prayers now
are so sadly needed, have taken
oath upon oath of fealty and
loyalty to the monarchy of Ha-
waiil
Can they be made to forget,
that he today holds his high Office
through that most despicable of
all crimes, treason!
How can any boy or man or
any intelligent human being deny
that S. B. Dole is an usurper. He
calls himself the head of re-
public. Foreign powers politely
answer the letters from the for
eigu Office, telling them that he is
such head (of republic.l But
the people of Hawaii. the nation,
the sons of the soil did not place
him there or even admitted his
right to wear the cloak of Office
which he now parades. and for
the preservation of which he asks
the Bishop of Honolulu to pray.
Could Mr.. Dole disband his
army today, and his government
yet existT And what is ruler
whose official existence is only
basedi upon bayonets in the
hands of foreign hirelings. If
not an usurper. what then does

Mr.. Dole is President of Ha-
wall through treason, fraud and
might. He will never get there
through RIGHT.
And for that reason will every
Christian minister refuse to pray
for him. and invoke Divine help
for his unrighteous course.
Mr.. Dole must be aware that
the Hawaiians and their friends,
viii never fell into line and sup
port a republic as long Is the
present personel is at its head.
They may adopt the republican
form Of government. They may
seek for annexation to some for

never tolerate the false men who
