Attorney General Andrews uttered d
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
ments had leaned on his judgment
trusting in its soundness. They be-
lieved in the principle adopted by the
! President. who recognized that they
had a turist 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 plow again-the judicial
plow.' Mr.. Andrews concluded; I'VE

that occasion came from one particular

to add his views to those that had been

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

c. c. Biting wanted to speak for the
younger members of the bar. AS n
son of old Virginia, whose father and
brother had give their lives fighting
against the flag under which Judge
Dole was sworn, he would say that
Hawaii could not have n greater honor
conferred on 1t than the appointment of
Sanford b. Dole as the guardian for
this Territory of the constitution of
the greatest nation in the world On
behalf of the younger members he
would express their utmost confidence
in Judge Dole.
F. NJ. Hatch dwelt eloquently u3on
that prime characteristic of Judge
Dole. his judicial temperament 1t was
at the very foundation Of success In
that honorable office. "In you II is
gift Of nature" Mr.. Hatch said to the
Judge. 1t happened to few men to be
put to such a test as Mr.. Dole had
stood for the past ten years as the
chief executive of these islands. Every
man would remember how passions ran
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 n cry of
vengeance. you stood unruffled." 1t
was triumph of the judicial tempera-
ment. Mr.. Hatch said in conclusion
that he trusted that in that court the
highest type of true Americanism
would continue to be illustrated. not
the kind which Wanted itself. but the
type which administered justice In its
highest integrity.
