there should be no mistake and added
the words "of Carrollton." Breckons
closed with an eloquent reference toI
the expansion of the nation. That
Declaration was heard by only the
thirteen in the first instance" he said.
To-day those colonies along the At
lantic also hear it, but it is heard as
well in the broad plains of the mid
die west, in the Businesses of the
Rocky mountains, on the Pacific slope,
in snowy Alaska, in the Paradise of the
Pacific and in the far off Philippines.
The Rev. G. L. Pearson was next
asked by Judge Estee to make a re-
mark and ne responded with an adj
dress in which he expressed the view
that the nation was progresst lg along
7the lines of right. 1--WE are better off
today than ever before" he said. mo
question is ever settled until 1t is set
tied right and we are selling ques-
tions right and 1 believe We shall do
So"
GeneralA. S. Hartwell referred to the
occasion as a ''legalized Fourth of
July. This room is familiar place to
me-" he remarked. Il was here in 1874
VIXEN it was opened for the Supreme
Court of Hawaii. Under all forms of
government have seen justice dispen
sed here and uniformity with dignity.
But never before saw so int ..esting
scene as Isee here today" General
Hartwell referred to Governor Dole's
statemnts regarding the great need of
good citizenship in times of peace. 1t
| is comparatively safe to go into battle.
The man is a pretty big coward who
cannot go and do his duty when he has
to. But it is in time of peace that the
| highest civic virtues are called for, to
testify for the highest citizenship and
to detest corruption. That is the duty
especially in this Territory, to show
forth what the highest kind of Ameri
can citizenship is. That is what l
hope we shall all be delightful to do"
e. P. Dole, former attorney general
was eloquent in his reply to Judge Es-
tees call upon him for remarks. He
said there were six great monuments in
the history fthe Anglo-Saxon struggle
for liberty-Magna Charter, the Bill of
Rights, the Petition of Rights, the De-
claration of Independence, the Consti-
tuition of the United States and the
Emancipation Frocla mation. Under
the principles of the Declaration of In

reached a condition of progress and
prosperity never before dreamed of.
Its influence" one of Dole's remarks
was, has spread so that though 1876
Years ago unheard of save in Eng
land, now underlies even every monar-
chial constitution except those of Rus
STA and Turkey"
Assistant District Attorney j. j.
Dunno discussed the occasion as one of
great value in that it assisted i'm the
preservation of national memories, the
basis of a national consciousness, which
is the great binding force among a peo-
pie. The history of the Jews was re-
ferred to as illustrating this fact.
Judge Estee called on Judge Ke-
poikai but he was absent and after
consulting Chief Justice Frear, Judge
Kaulukou was called for. The latter,
with w. o. Smith as interpreter, made
an address which aroused great ap-
plause. He said that 100 years ago
there was little reason to suppose that
his people would reach the conditions
in which they are now. The Hawai-
ians owe more to the American nation
than to any other said the speaker
Up to recently no one ever expected
that Hawaii would become American
but now with the Americans, Hawai-
ians were brothers and sisters. He
hoped that all in the island would
strive to attain to be worthy OF Ameri-
can citizenship and that all should help

be such good interpreter he had bet
