that end that need your utmost help.
1t Is your interests, not mine, that
shall serve.
Our Island home. my fellow citizens.
is beautiful one. There are few
more beautiful. The colors of Italy
and Greece, the scenic beauties of
Spain, the marvels of India's vast
plains and Africa's grand plateaus may
be Wanted, but none of them can
reach the rich coloring of sea and sky.
the cool, varying greens of our tropi-
cal forests, the rich shadows of our
receding valleys, the soft breezes which
watt the sweet perfume of our beauti"
full flowers, and the gentle tenderness
of our climate. / love Hawaii, from
the rugged crown of Mauna Loa to the
sunlit breakers that dash upon the
fringing coral reefs.
But it is not our beauty that we
must consider. there are other and
more practical things that you and /
must study.
Hawaii has present, and also flu
ture. Her present gives her great re-
sources. Her rich plains and her
mountain slopes: her recurrent show
ers and the limpid waters from her
valleys give her eXuberant crops,
which support all her population in
comparative affluence. There are few
countries in the world so blessed-few
whose present Is more prosperous.
The future-that grand and wonder
full future which is looming before us.
portentous with great events, will find
the Territory of Hawaii "A central fig
ure. The Pacific is going to be the
theater OF the worlds history. The
uhtoio taie OF human existence Is go
ing TO be uhtolded about the shores
ana IN the waters OF earths mightiest
ocean.
Inc waters OF this ocean wash the
coasts OF continents-on one of which
is the Oldest empire, on another the
hlghtlest Republic the world has ever
seen. Our small Territory Is geo
grapmcally SO situated that the great
lines of commerce must pass our doors.
In Hawaii, the occident and the ORR
ent meet. In Hawaii the Anglo-SaX-
on population of Australia shakes
hands with the equally sturdy popula-
ton OF North America. 1t remains
with Hawaii to WELD her influence TO
