Mr.. Weber, replying to the toast Lii
hue Plantation" spoke. in part, as
follows:
Mr.. Alexander and Gentlemen:-It
gives me pleasure to answer to the
toast proposed by Mr.. Smith as / feel
that in drinking the health OF Lihue
Plantation am in a measure propos-
ing the health of everyone here.
There are few plantations on these
Islands that have done so much for
their employees as has Llhue and 1
might say that there are none that
have so carefully looked after their
employees as has this plantation: to
have been an employe OF Lihue for a
long time means not only that you
must have been man accustomed to
hard work but II means that your true
worth has been recognized by the COM
pany, and by doing your duty, and
steadily day by day doing that which
Is required you are steadily and surely
approaching the goal of every en-
ployee, viz: the commari of his de-
partment.
On behalf of the plantation I heart
lily concur in the remarks made by our
honored president in regard to DR..
Watt both in his capacity as an en-
Iployee of the company and as a man
and II is my hope that we will always
have a physician who will as honestly
and carefully discharge the duties of
his Office

ton of the character of our Chief Ex-
sCutive.

As Judge of Circuit Court. as Judge
OF the Supreme Court. during the most
tying times that these Islands will
probably ever know, he filled these diff
iicult positions with ability and
strength of purpose which did much
toward placing this Territory where 1t

As President of the Republic Of Ha-
wall and later as the first Governor of
the Territory, he was ever the able
counsellor and skillful leader and DOS
sibly did more toward healing any
breech that might have existed because
