reuuire n courage Of a higher order
even than the other. Ia the sacrIhce
maize by brother Carter We cannot
lose sight Of the fact of the great ser
vice which he rendered to this couii-
try. I'm recent speech made 10y the
eminent Senator Morgan before the
United State- Senate in regard To
matters 20 deeply important to the
pre-eut aud future welfare OF this
country, lie referred with great ear
nrsfness TO the fact Of the sacrifice
nad. by Charles Garter, with whom he
was acquainted; aud that sacrifice mas
had great effect upon the mother
country TO whom We are looking auu
upOu whom We so depend. Little we
thought, when this Court met Al It's
last term, that we should be called 10
mourn the death Of two OF our me
beers. especially OF members VINO nau
such promise Of long life and years be-
fore them. While we Te-pect ana
honor their physical courage, Let US
aIso do honor to- that cOurag- which
made them fai hful men in their pro-
fessIOn.
Assnciate-Justice Frear said: L
take pleasure on this occasion TO pay
nv tribute in honor Of the memory ol
both Charles Carter aud Henry Castle.
I WAS peculiarly impressed with the
death OF each of these gentlemen, not
merely because of the tragic nature OF
the death i'm each in tauce, nor be
cause they were members Of the same
prof, ssion; but because they were such
dear aud valued personal friends, oOtn

have known each Of these gentlemen
for nearly twenty-five Year., our &C
ri al l.
hood. Unfortunately / have not been
thrown so much with Charles Carter
ON account of his residing in differ
ent part OF the city, and his being edu-
Gated at a different school, and Tor one
reason aud another; but with Mr..
Castle I attended school for many
years, recited in the same classes,
tramped through the mountains with
him, and played with him almost
daily in our homes. L may say IN
besItAtiDgly, from my acquaintance
with each OF these gentlemen, thaL
they have lived lives Of unusual honor
and usefulness. The loss TO this tar
is great. Seldom Is a bar, especially
one of so few members as TINS,
called upon TO take action
OF this kind upon the death OF
two at it's members-members of such
US. fuluess, such high ideals, and
MT mbers 20 young ia age. This bar
can iII-hffDrd the loss. These men
were different in many respects, anh
vet alike in many respects. They were
Courageous ami industrious, bnth use
full, both noble In character. The one
was of a judicial, | may say, turn OF
mimi; of u philosophical and scholarly
turn of mind-Mr. CASTLE the
other was Of more practical turn OF
mind. Each was emineHtly qualified
for the pursuit of his chosen f1eIh OF
life outside of the profession OF law,
for neither of these men confined
themselves to the mere practice of the
law or the pursuit of personal inter
eats; each gave largely of lime a. well
As energy for the public interests the
one in the field OF journalism more
particularly, and the other III the neld
of stateSmanship. THE loss il great in
each instance; not merely to personal
friends, not merely TO the profession,
but Io the public at large. Nrither
lived his life in vain; and, In death as
in life, in each Instance, who can say
how murh has bern accomplished or
will yet he accomplished.
Chief Justice judd said: Every man
loves his country, but permit me 10
ga that [ think that patriotic atta'h-
mrnL TO the land of hi tn Is pecu-
liarly ardent in the snns Of hHwaii.
As class, they have oeen Wiling 10
fOrtgo their own ease and the al
vancemeut Of their personal Interests
in order To- SECURE good government
for the land Of their love. They have
given their time and strength TO the
public service. They have been, in
times nf great peril, ready To fight and
if need he TO die for their country.
or SUE II material were the two SONS
of Hawaii of whom you have been
speaking.
In the hands Of such men as Charlie
Carter ami Henry Casll.. tie future of
Hawaii IS assured. With both of
thrs- members Of our bar, most brill
liant ard promising Careers have been
suddenly arrested 10y the hand of
death l. us cherish their memories,
auL let Lreir lives aud their ID roic
deaths stimulate the youth of today
TO cultivate the same split of patriot
ism and seIf-ahn-gation that has
made their names glorious.
