Among the many things said by Mr..
Carter was this: That if it was with
in his power, he would discharge from
Office any government employee who
refused to be approached by the hum
blest citizen when the latter desired
to make some complaint.
Mr.. Atkinson made some most forci-
BILE remarks in regard to local political
conditions to the effect that favors
could not be expected by people al
ways in opposition to the administra-

to work in harmony with 1.-The powers
that be" and all pull together for the

But the luau! Surely it was a red
letter day for Kula SO many Homo
lulu dignitaries within its borders and
, such an elaborate and toothsome ban
quet, pronounced by that connoisseur
Secretary Atkinson, to be the best ever
attended by him in his travels around
, the Islands,
! After the feast the Governor deliv-
cred a long, interesting address to the
large audience assembled in front of
the schoolhouse verandas. His speech
was simple in style as the occasion
demanded-sensibIe. direct-evading no
issue whatsoever.
He said the reason of his coming to
Maui was not 10 attend Iuaus but to
become acquainted with the people,
Mr.. Atkinson and himself wished to
learn from personal observation of the
needs of Maui citizens. He Cthe Gov
ernoo was born and reared in Hawaii
and in his infancy had been attended
by Hawaiian nurse. consequently he
was fond of Hawaiians. He further
stated that he could not do the work of
governing the islands alone. but de-
sired the assistance of all leaders, both
men and women.
INHERITED SYMPATHIES.
President Roosevelt did not wish the
political situation in the Territory to
be as it formerly was, sort of race
war between the Hawaiians and whites,
but desired the best elements of both
factions to become united and to con-
troll government affairs. He Carter
desired TO show the natives the folly
of the former status. His grandfather
had been treasurer minister of Fin
ance) when these islands We're under
a king and his father had been Ka-
lakaua's minister TO Washington. The
former had always stated that Hawai-
ians We're the flower of all Polynesian
races. Both had maintained that
Hawaiians We're capable of self-gov-
eminent. He wished TO prove himself
a worthy descendent of them both. He
declared that the action of last legis-
lature showed that Hawaiians could
govern themselves.
