Attorney General Andrews uttered a
feeling of sadness at parting from
Governor Dole in the executive. They
all appreciated how honestly and eff
GENTLY he had directed the affairs of
the Territory. The heads of depart

trusting in it's soundness. They be-
lieved in the principle adopted by the
President. who recognized that they
had jurist in the Territory of Hawaii
well fitted to fill the office of Federal
Judge. 1t was a matter on which the,
whole Territory should congratulate
itself Like Cincinnatus you have
taken up the pillow again-the judicial
plow,'' Mr.. Andrews concluded; 1--WE
know that no man is more capable
than yourself for this position"
c. w. Ashford thought it would be
unfortunate if all the expressions on
that occasion came from one particular
class of political thought He wished
to add his views to those that had been
expressed. Sixteen years ago it be-
came his duty-he thought in that very
room-as Attorney General to contend
that Mr.. Dole's appointment to the
bench at that time was legal. His
contention prevailed and he was we'll
satisfied with the result. For long
time before, Judge Dole had the conf
dence of the community. The office
then sought the man, as it had done
with Judge Dole in other cases since.
AS he had opposed him in his later
position, he felt the more free to ex-
press his sentiments now. Through
all the rancors of the crises since 1893,
at no time had the confidence of the
community in Mr.. Dole's absolute fair
mindedness and disposition to do right
ly with all men been wanting, nor was
it's belief in his desire for justice and
in his strict integrity now abated.

c. c. Biting wanted to speak for the
younger members of the bar. AS a
son of old Virginia, whose father and
brother had given their lives fighting
against the flag under which Judge
Dole was sworn, he would say that
Hawaii could not have a greater honor
conferred on it than the appointment OF
Sanford B. Dole as the guardian for
this Territory of the constitution OF
the greatest nation in the world. Or
+, behalf of the younger members he
would express their utmost confidence
in Judge Dole.
F. M. Hatch dwelt eloduently UPON
that prime characteristic of Judge
Dole. his judicial temperament. 1t was
at the very foundation of success in
| that honorable office. I'm you it is a
gift of nature Mr. Hatch said to the
Judge. 1t happened to few men to be
put to such a test as Mr.. Dole hao
stood for the past ten years as the
chief executive of these islands. Every
man would remember how passions raT
high when more than mere party pas
sion prevailed, when the destiny of Ha-
wall was in question, when blood was
cowardly shed and there was a cry OF
vengeance. You stood unruffled." i
was a triumph of the judicial tempera
ment. Mr.. Hatch said in conclusion
that he trusted that in that court th'
highest type of true Americapisn
would continue to be illustrated. no
the kind which Wanted itself but thu
type which administered justice in it
highest integrity.
J. L. Kaulukou made a short address
in Hawaiian.
Henry f. Highton began an eloquen
speech with his opinion that the posi-
