yellow CITIZENS. :"

Nothing could be finer, nothing
more appropriate than when Harold
NJ. Sewall, as the direct personal rep
resentatiye of our President address,
ed the assembly in the grounds of the
Executive building with the words
'Fellow Citizens" All felt, and all
were impressed with the fact that we
were then and forever taken into the
great heart of the American people.
The words were a key note to the oc-
casion, and all must have realized that
the kinship which we had in the past
with the Great Republic, was more
than acknowledged, that then and
forever we had become part and per-
eel of the same household, to rejoice
when she rejoices, to mourn when she
mourns, to have our share in all her
glories by land and sea, in science,
in art, in letters, and in however hum
BILE a way to do our utmost. to help
forward the progress of that youth
full power among the nations, whose
strength is but just being understood
by her brethren upon the earth.
Mr.. Sewall's speech was short am
to the point. 1t referred to recent
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1898-08-13

events when little Hawaii stood by the
United States and threw in her lot
despite the croakings of "the selfish
and the timid." That act upon the
part of Hawaii appealed to the whole
American people, and that people
through its Congress nobly respond
ed. Hawaii was a very small mouse
indeed, but it was a useful little crea-
ture. and the Columbian lion recog-
nized and appreciated its efforts.
With the unfurling of the Stars and
Stripes we enter upon a great herit-
age. We are an integral part of one
of the mightiest powers upon the
earth. What the future will be, WI
can tell? We are on the threshold of
very great events and we occupy a
position where we become, small as
we may be, the pivot around which
many of those events will swing. The
Pacific is going to be the mighty stage
around which the greatest of the
worlds dramas will be played. The
/ Aegean sea sufliced for the Greek, the
| Mediterranean for the Carthagininan,
and the Roman; the Atlantic for our
ancestors of the last three centuries,
but now it is the mightiest of them
all. the broad, rolling Pacific, with
| its countless islands and its thous-
ands of miles of coasts.
The trend of events shows us that
far off. it is tacit alliance already,
but it will some day be drawn closer
for the Advancement of true civiliza-
tion for the spread of peace and pros
perity to all mankind and for the sup
port of liberty both in politics and in
religion And when that alliance
comes, we shall take a part in it. We
shall not be little fragment of hui
mainly that will beg to be taken in
and protected, we shall enter as OF
the household, for we have obtained
our birthright and we are part and
parcel of the Great Anglo-SaXon Race
Such thoughts does the speech OF
Harold NJ. Sewall call up, and spcf
thoughts are inspiring if looked at il
the proper spirit. Mr.. Sewall has, il
his remarks, called up the best anC
noblest in all the races that inhabi
the group. May we all so live and or
der our lives that we shall be worthy
of the greeting our fellow citizen
has given us.

Another point which is, largely,
exercising the opposition mind in ia
pan is the disposal of the Philippine
Islands. Okuma once said that if the
Philippines fell into the hands of GER
tain countries, the balance of power
in the East would be disturbed and
argued that Japan should therefore
take them, and there is no doubt that
the Japanese did lend assistance to
the insurgents. However, whatever
Okuma may have said in the past is
all changed by the presence of the
United States in the Philippines. it
is very evident that the United States
and Japan thoroughly understand one
one another, the opposition press to
the contrary, Notwithstanding.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1898-08-13

The japanese press, or rather that
portion of it opposed to the present
ministry, is setting forth that Count
Okuma shuu.d protest against the
American flag being hoisted over
these Islands. The japanese press,
however, was not at that time aware
that through the Intervention of the
United States the sum of $4,000 had
been paid over to Japan by the Ha.
waiian government before the act OF
annexation was contaminated.

There were two. Hawaiian names
that many thought of yesterday.
They were those o9lmen who devoted
themselves to the cause of annexation
and who, had they lived, would have
taken the greatest pride in the con-
summation of what7 they so ardently
desired. These were Charles Carter
and Frank Hastings. Honor to their
memory. Their children will live to
know that August 18th is day to be

The ceremonies of flag raising have
been carried out through the whole
of the islands. In every corner of
the group the Stars and Stripes now
fly as the national flag of the little
commonwealth. Lahaina has been
the first to be heard from on the ques-
ton and it is very noticeable that adj
dresses were made there by two Ha-
wGiian gentlemen, Rev. A. Pail and
Judge Kahaulelio, uncle of Represen-
tative Kahaulelio. There are plenty
of Hawaiians who understand the sig
nificance of yesterdays proceedings,
and who thoroughly believe that the
change that has taken place is for
their very best interests.

There is nothing that speaks bet
ter for the orderliness of our commu-
nifty and the thorough appreciation of
all classes of what has taken place,
than the charge sheet at the police
station this morning. Only few, a
very few, unwise celebrants had to
be rounded up, and as a fact during
the ceremonies a single policeman
held the fort at the station house.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1898-08-13

In considering the raising of the
Stars and Stripes it is well to remem-
Der that not an extra soldier was re-
quired. The guard from the Philadel-
phia and Mohican came to do honor
to Old Glory and to the departing mo-
tional ensign of Hawaii. In other
parts of the group a single policeman
was sufficient to give the proper sem
blance of authority.

THE LOCK AND THE KEY.

You can operate lock only with
the key that fits it. Very well. So
you can cure a disease only with the
medicine that goes down to the cause
Of it. Now, many so-ca.led diseases
are in truth only forms of one disease,
branches of one tree, as we may say.
For example, if we can nourish the
body and enrich the blood, we speedily
get rid Of many Of our troubles,
such as Auemia, Fevers, Rheumatism,
Scrofula and Blood Disorders, and so
on-all proofs that the body lacks
vitality and force. Nothing is so
effective body builder as cod liver
oil but, alas, how many are nau-
seated at the very thought Of it. In

1t is stated that the first cost of

slant expenditure in wages, repairs,
