prose or in poetry is still remembered. his
name was John Milton, and every school

Kingdom of God and fame will find you

along the line of loyalty to the Kingdom

Seek the Kingdom of God, that is the
great thing. Any man who seeks wealth
for wealth's sake will always he poor,
though he be clad in purple. Any man
who seeks first and always the Kingdom

DRIVE ON GOVERNOR.

I.orrin A. Thurston, who may be re-
sarded as the mouthpiece of County
Law opponents, objects to the county
or local self.government principle. He
said at the meeting called by the Gov
ernor. as reported by his own paper:
TT is my belief expressed before an
nesation and since annexation that
this country and its electorate Is not
in the best condition to be given New
England county government
Mr.. Thurston evidently regards the
County Law just defeated by the Su.
preme Court to be a new England
county law, though no citizen who has
lived In a New England county-Mr.
Thurston never lived under such q
law-would be unable to recognize
similarity except in the large measure
of difference.
There is no doubt of Mr.. Thurston's
attitude since annexation. He has con
sistently and viciously opposed any
measure which gives the citizens OF
Hawaii any increased control over
their local affairs. He has lambasted
the electorate on every apparently
available occasion.
But let us contemplate what Mr..
Thurston said before annexation.
Hand Book on Hawaiian Annexation by
I.orrin A. Thurston" furnishes rec
ord of Mr.. Thurston's statements. Mr..
Tburston says in this handbook:
THE people OF Hawaii as whole
are energetic and Industrious" 1t Is
safe to presume that Mr.. Thurston did
no, exclude the present electorate III
LIS remarks.
Taking up the different nationalities
in detail. Mr.. Thurston said OF the ma.
tive Hawaiians then as now included
in the electorate
THE native Hawaiians, only $4,000
in number, are a conservative, peaceful
and generous people. They have had
during the last twenty years to strug
gle against the retrogressive tenden'
cles of the reigning family. but in
spite of that, a very large proportion
OF them have stood out against such
tendencies and are supporters OF the
Republic and of annexation. {.
Tbav are a race which will In the ~.
tur.. as they have in the past, easily
and rapidIy assinnilate with and adopt
American ways and methods"
or the Portuguese, another element
of the electorate, Mr.. Thurston said:
"They are a Woodworking, industrt
aus. bome.crea ting and home.ioving
neop,e. who would be Of advantage TO
any developing country"
or the remaining inhabitants Of Ha.
wall Americans. English, Germans.
Thurston said they are strong, viriIs

II makes no difference what Mr..
Thurston NAV say he said before an.
nexation. this is the record. Now he
claims that this "rapidly.assimilating
Hawaiian. Woodworking" Portuguese.
"strongyirile" American. Emf lish. Ger.
man electorate is not capable of taking
I'm and adopting the first principle OF
American ways and methods in gov
eminent, namely county government.
While pretending TO be critical toward
the supreme Court for not going far
enough in its decision he is overjoyed
