could be desired A liberal requisition

The President of the United States
Attorney General Henry T.. Cooper
To round out the sentiment the speak
er said he would like to add to it
The friend of Hawaii" The Attorney
General spoke for the first time in
public of his visit to President Mckin-
ley at Canton soon after the deter
mination OF the campaign of 1896. Mr..
Cooper spoke earnestly of the impress
sion that he then received of the great
ness of the man whose fame as n
statesman and executive has since be-
come world wide. The name of Will
lam Mckinley should always be held
in highest esteem, in these Islands es-
pecially, for sitting President of the
United States he had taken a deep
personal interest in tbs welfare Of the
people of the group.
President Dole and His Cabinet and
cX-Members of the Cabinet-Minister
of Foreign Affairs f. A. Mott-Smith
and ex-Attorney- General Smith. Min
lister MOtt-Smith referred very mod
estly to his own occupancy of place
In the official family of Mr.. Dole, and
spoke glowingly of the record that
had been made by the chief executive
and his advisers during many trying
periods leading up to elimination oil
the chief desire behind the greatest po-
litical movement o. development OF
the country. The youngest member OF
the Cabinet concluded by remarking
that down town" people often
thought or seemed to think that all
questions presented to the Govern
ment could be decided or handled on
the instant. His idea was that some
of the critics would occasionally find
themselves puzzled with the multiple
ity OF puzzles and the diverse interests
and issues involved. Attorney Smith
at this time and in brief speech
made later in the evening, was at his
best. He was eloquent in acknowledg'
ing the services of the physicians in
general To the community, their ready
response time upon time to the call OF
duty, their arduous and dlsinterested
toll, and their intelligent efforts fol
the Improvement of sanitary cOndi'
lions. Mr. Smith was deeply moved
by recalling incidents of his life here
and Al times spoke with genuine feel
ing. To the toast itself he replied will
unreserved praise Of President Dole
citing the honesty and singleness o.
purpose, the integrity and answering
impartalty, the frmness and fairness
Of the man who had been at the hea,
al affairs here during a critical era.
