are forced TO the conclusion that they
did not fear that the cause of free
dom would ever suffer from the en-
croachment of the executive depart
ment They seemed to have been very
carful and particular, too, as to who
should be President. The language Of
the constitution is No person, except

BILE to the Office of President. 1t is
the only office. state or federal. in the
United States which Is not open to a
foreign-born citizen. How simple is
the oath the constitution prescribes
for this, the ruler of its millions of cit
liens:
"I do solemnly swear that I will
faithfully execute the office of Presi-
dent of the United States and will, to
the best of my ability. preserve, pro-
tect and defend the constitution of the
United States
THE impressive thought should al
ways be in the mind of an American
citizen when he thinks of the Presi-
dent" said Mr. Barrow, that here Il
a ruler with these vast powers for
whom the people are responsible. No
divine right of kings placed him at the
head. The people to be ruled chose the
ruler They are responsible for him.
They elected him. When the faces of
the teeming millions of Americans are
turned to Washington they look upon
a man placed there by their will, whose
glory is their glory, whose triumph is
their triumph. and whose shame. if so
be. is their shame"
Mr. Barrows speech was greeted
with lively applause. At its conclusion
Mr. George w. Beckett sang The

The last toast was "Ah. the Bonnie
Lasses," responded to by Rev. DR.. John
D. Jordan. The response was in DR.
Jordan's happiest vein. 1t was filled
with stories full of humor and pathos
and although the last on the pro-
gramme, none of its brightness was
lost.

"oUR SISTER SOCIETIES."
MIR. Alex A. Lnwrence's Appeal for
National Pride.

MIR. Alex A. Lnwrence's Appeal for
National Pride.
Mr.. A. A. Lawrence responded to the
toast. "Our Sister Societies and Invit-
ed Guests"
Patriotic societies. Mr.. Lawrence
said, "perpetuating national and race
pride. have a distinctive utility in So
ciety. I 90 not refer to them as the
medium for bringing together congenial
persons upon festive or convivial oc-
casions, nor do / refer to them as the
repositories of histories and traditions
these are the mere incidents, and not
the useful purposes of such institu-
tions; / refer to their broader and high
er usefulness in fostering race pride;
1 refer to them as expressions as well
as developers of that instructive pride
of race peculiar to the dominant peo-
pies of the earth.
What l say if the necessity for con-
tributing to race pride, or race preju-
dice is that il was never more urgent.
We of the present generation feel Sc
cure. and we are secure, but what Sc
curity is offered for the future. Re
fleet upon the social and political stat
us of generations just passed from
that status thirty years ago; compare
II with to-day: compare it with recent
social events by which we were all
startled: reflect upon the favorable
comment those events elected, and in
their light judge of what may be to-
morrow.
1--WE have a great and stern duty be-
fore us a duty we owe not only TO
ourselves. but to future generations,
TO the future peoples of the world our
task is a hard one, one beside which
Charles MarteTs was easy. He fought
an open enemy, in one great battle
he conquered and overthrew the ad-
vancing Saracen host which threaten
ed Europe with undttefable woe. But
our battle is one that must be fought
from day to day. our enemy is amongst
us. armed with civil and political
rights. supported by hostile political
factions. His course is insidious, his
attack is by gradual encroachments.
"The things that were abhorred yes
terday are condoned to-day. and the
chance is that we may embrace them
tomorrow Our present safety lies in
our pride of race: in the fortitude with
which we accept and endure the white
mans burden" our future and our
only salvation must come from the
vigilance with which we guard our race
distinctions.
Il trust / do not overestimate the
usefulness Of patriotic societies when
| say they are important factors in
this great but silent conflict impor-
tant because they inspire us all,
whether Irish. or Scotch, or English.
or German. with a pride that we all
belong to one great self-suftcient, dom
mating race. which. whether at peace
or in arms. has blazed a path for other
nations to follow. and which will DOM
mate the intellectual. political and
commercial world as long as they re-
main pure and unmixed with those in
ferlor races that God in his holy writ
has commanded 10 he hewers of wood
and drawers Of water"
This was followed by a song by Mr..
John S. Banks. who was warmly ap-
plauded.

OWNERS TO MOVE
OR REMEDY EVIL
Let on Kerosene Warehouse Street
Declared Unfit For hu-
man Habitation.

The visit of the Board of Health
to Kakaako and Kewalo last week is
bearing fruit, and several insanitary
and plague breeding premises will be
condemned as menaces to the public
health. The board took action yester-
day on a house on Kerosene Ware
house street, at the instance Of Presi-
dent Raymond, and passed condem-
nation resolution. President Raymond
said that ne had visited the place just
a short time before the board con-
yened, and proclaimed the premises as
being in a most filthy condition. Upon
motion of DR.. Emerson, seconded by
DR.. Cooper, the following resolution
was passed:
That all that piece or parcel OF land
situate in the District of Honolulu,
Island of Oahu, lying on the Eva side
of the street known as Kerosene Ware
house street, being the second lot ma
kai of Queen street, owned or con-
trolled by Mr.. Kamaka, is insanitary,
a source of filth and cause of sickness.
unfit for human habitation, and a dan
ger to the public health;
Resolved, That the said premises
must be forthwith vacated, until such
time as they are rendered fit for hu-
man habitation without endangering
the public health.
Resolved, That the city sanitary
officer of the Board of Health be and he
hereby is authorized empowered and
Kamaka, his servants and agents, and
upon any and all persons having con-
troll of or occupying said premises to
put the said premises in a condition fit
for human habitation, without endan-
gering the public health, or to vacate
the same within forty-eight hours.
Resolved That upon failure to COM
ply with said notice the city sanitary
officer of the board, with such assist
ance as may be necessary, is hereby
authorized, empowered and directed to
cause said premises not put in condi-
ton fit for human habitation as afore-
said, or not vacated by those in con
troll or in occupancy thereof, To be va
Gated, using only so much force as
may be necessary for that purpose, and
doing no injury to any property not re-
quired in the enforcement of said or
DER
Similar notices will be prepared for
large number of insanitary places,
and an endeavor made to render the
district fit for shuman habitations a
visit to the district below Queen street
to the filed lin land near the sewer
pumping station exhibits more filthy
holes than can be found elsewhere in
the city. Some Of the so-called streets
are well nigh impossible for the ac-
cumulations of filth and decaying vege-
tation.
Structures which face directly upor
the street have their entrances encum-
bered by garbage of such descrip-
ton as would lead a passer-by to be-
lieve that the city's dumpcarts had un.
loaded their contents. The smells arts
ing from these heaps are nauseatine
and it is difficult to understand why
more people from the district are no
stricken with fever. The place inspect
ed by DR.. Raymond was surrounded by
| decaying vegetation, while stagnan
pools were found beneath the house
| and the odors We're exceedingly un
| pleasant.

parts of the machinery have been test

Four hundred acres of cane have been

about 800 acres will have been plant

"Crops-The present crop amounts to
500 acres, including 40 acres of ratoons,
and should yield US 4,50O tons of sugar,
providing the cane is ground at the
right time and the percentage of sugar
in the juice equals that of our neigh
bors. The lateness of planting last
year has not allowed the cane the
length of time to grow that it should
and would have had had we been able
to have completed planting during the
warmer months of the previous fall.
1.-THE crop of 1902, now planting, will
consist of 500 acres of plant and 100
acres of ratoons. Being new land and

sible to make an accurate estimate Of
the sugar production. Land of the Ha-
waiian Commercial and Sugar Com
| pany5 adjoining the land now being
planted, which was planted in January,
1900, has a fine stand of cane, ana did
not tassel this year thus allowing a
good additional growth before the cane
is cut.
1.-The crop of 1903 to be planted this
summer will be 500 acres of plant and
400 acres of long ratoons This crop
will be planted in the proper season,
our labor supply permitting.
''Labor-Our labor supply for the last
eight months has been very low, not
having enough men to attend to irri-
cation some of the time. The shortage
still continues in the irrigation depart
nent. The shortage. of labor Is the
prime cause of reducing the area to be
planted each year and the shrinking Of
