GOVERNOR DOLE TAKES OATH

/ thing against the interests Of the body
Lolitie.
/ Two ether great enterprises will es-
pecially enlist the thought and energy
of the Territory-the Improvement and
extension OF highways in a measure
consonant with prospective needs; and
( the creation of municipalities. This
will require the profoundest study and
an honest public spirit, that such gov
| ernments may perform useful service
| and not become sources of civil cor
! ruption and thereby oppressive 70 those
within their jurisdictions.
A happy feature Of our late period Of
civil dissension was the usual survival
of friendly relations between indi-
viduals of divergent political opinions
| and consequent public action. Few
| friendships were broken on this ac-
count or social relations disturbed.
Mindful of this. feel the utmost con-
fidence in calling upon all OF whatever
name or opinion, to allow the political
| irritations Of recent years to disappear
in the shadows of the past; and. turn
| ing to the future, TO join hands in tie
creation OF an ideal commonwealth ont
Of our complex conditions.
Our outlook is most auspiciCuS. The
shores and islands of the great Pa
cific ocean have already become the
theater CT drama, the successive acts
/ of which will affect the mutual relar
tons of the nations of the world.
The great powers are massing their
forces in this ocean for the protection
and development Of their commrce and
the promotion of national prestige.
Hawaii is the ore mid-ocean refuge
of the North Pacihc-a half way house
| where all passaIs by must stop for re-
freshment.
A stately procession of ships carries
our products around the stormy cape
to The Atlantic shores of the United
States, another to the Pacific Coast
Oar h.: bo-s are already inadequate for
olr commerce. Hawaiian agricultural
enterprises, easily leading the world in
he relative production of our main
crop, IS as yet far from its climax. Our
climate, the joint production OF the sun
and TIE trace wind acting over a
thousand leagues of sea, and the lowell
ness OF our mountain scenery are a
perpetual invitation to the denizens of
all ATTITUDES. Hawaii is forea, med by
its past experience for this new essay
in government The honorable COM
petition of sister Territories, the hope
of Statehood. and the glorious history
Of America must inspire her.
Let Us take up this work with en-
thusiasm. and be worthy of the cor fl
! dence which Congress has in us.
Let rs keep forever upon our great
seal our old national motto-the breath
and always remember that private
character is the real foundation of
national strength.
