JAPANESE SHARE
COMMON SORROW

On Wednesday afternoon while the
Mckinley Memorial meeting was being
held by the Chamber of Commerce, the
representative Japanese residents of
Honolulu held a meeting at the Jap
anese Young Mems Club rooms on
Vineyard street for the same purpose.
The meeting was significant in that the
Japanese showed that they felt the loss
to themselves as much as to the Ameri-
can nation. 1t was decided to forward
a telegram to John c. Hay, Secretary of
State, at Washington, expressing the
condolences of all the Japanese resi-
dents of Hawaii to Mrs. Mckinley.
The telegram and resolutions adopted
were similar to those of the Chamber
of Commerce. Unfortunately the tele-
gram was not sent on the Aorangi,
that vessel having been overlooked by
the committee appointed to draft the
dispatch. 1t will therefore not be for
warded until the next regular steam
ship for San Francisco.
1t has also been decided that the Jap
anese will have a representation pres
ent at the Memorial Services to be held
today at Kawaiahao church.

flag. and then. while taps was being
sounded. it was slowly lowered to half
mast. The bUgle call was effectively
rendered by Mr.. c. A. Mcintosh.
The memorial address was by Mr.
Theo. Richards. Mr. Richards men
toned the hasty manner in which sim
liar meetings had been and We're being
planned throughout the nation, and the
fact that little time was given for
preparation made the words spoken on
these occasions of genuine sympathy
coming from the heart. Continuing
Mr.. Richards said that the taking Of
the life of any man occupying a place
of Importance in our government
would be shock to the people.
In the case of Mr.. Mckinley it was
taking the life, not only of our Presi-
dent, but of one loved by the people.
he said. In order to be loved one
must be lovely, and that was true of
the late President. Pictures of the
life of Mr.. Mckinley were briefly
drawn, and his career in the army has
tiIys reviewed The Chevrons gained
on the field Of battle were compared
to the stripes of honor not gained in
war and not worn on the shoulder.
After presenting a further picture of
the even life of the President, a high
life in which valleys of error did not
exist, the speaker talked at length of
the spirit behind the hand that carried,
concealed from view, the deadly Weap-
on which sent the messenger of death
into the body of our President, eX-
tended as it was under the guise of
friendship.
Mr.. Richards spoke of the duty of
the students, going out as they were
to become teachers, to train those
placed under their instruction to re
spect law and order and those in au-
thOrity over them. to teach obedience.
In a free country like ours, he SAID,
we must govern ourselves to a great
extent. In closing the speaker show
ed that Mr.. Mckinley had served his
! country well, and was ready to die
when the call came. Though dead ne
( yet lived in the hearts of the American
/ people His last words, 1t is God 5
| way; His will be done" showed that
/ the man who had lived a Christian
! life did not hesitate to give it up when
called upon to do so.

NOT INDICATED AT HOME.

The so-called vindication of the
Arizona criminal who occupies seat
on the bench of the First Circuit Court
would never have been given him il
evidence to expose the falsehOOds he
told Attorney General Knox in MS reply
to the charges of the Bar Association
had been in hand instead of five thou
sand miles away, in a place the cable
does not reach. Humphreys took full
advantage of the isolation of Hawaii to
make statements that were deliberately
and fagrantly untrue, believing that
there would be no time for the Bar
Association to meet them with proper
affidavits. He reckoned Alright in that
respect, and so he will be able to re
turn, dripping with the whitewash that
cannot cover his moral leprosy and
proclaiming that he has oeen 'exonera-
ated" But assuredly he will return to
endure the scorn and contempt of every
man whose good opinion is worth any
thing or whose mind is not warped by
a desire to overturn the American Ter
ritorial regime here and go in with the
worst class of natives for spells anc

That the quality of the "yindication'
may the better be observed, we VII

glib prevarications, stamps as unsup

SORROW FOR THE DEAD.

That there is no monopoly of sorrow
. for the late Chief Magistrate of the Ma
ton is shown in the spontaneous dis
play of feeling which has marked the
city during the week Wherever citi-
zens gathered the name of Mckinley
was on their lips before they parted
and in every instance the expressions
were those of true grief and sympathy.
1t is fitting that there will be gather
ed in Kawaiahao church this morning
a large and representative body of the
people to make public demonstration
of this feeling; to show that the loss Of
the man and leader is felt in this out
lying territory as deeply as it is in the
city in which ne moved among the PEG
pie as a friend. To many the late
President was the embodiment of
principle the Chief Executive of the
country, yet withal a man whose
human and personal sides was so full
of loveableness that apart from the
statesman the individual stood out
strongly, as one fitted by nature to hold
the place to which his destiny led him.
In the mourning for his loss, and the
expressions of admiration for the char
acter of the man, all distinctions of ma
tionality and race are lost The great
man of today is not the personal prop
erty of his own people, but the world
claims a part in his work and worth.
There was in the labor for humanity
of the late president much that makes
his loss not only deplorable to Ameri-
cans, but to the people of all nations,
for in every action he has done that
which has stood for the knitting to-
gether of the nations and the uplifting
of humanity. generation cannot undo
his labor for the bringing closer of the
Anglo-Saxon peoples. His message up
on the sufferings of the Cubans will be
a classic long after that race ceases to
play an individual part in the world.
Later generations of Filipinos will see
the benevolence of his ideas and the
true intent of his plans for the better
ing of their condition, when the for
tune of war placed them as wards of
the nation.
So through the list there is not
people to whom some act has not en-
deared the man, and the Nation through
him. And here it is fitting that there
be on the .concourse OF the people who
listen to words in memoriam, men of
all nationaltties and creeds, for the man
was above creed in his love of his fei-
lows. and in him were personifed the
traits of manliness which endear a
great personality to all men,
