Ing honey and make one. deposit So
with the governor, we pay our money to
this one man and IL we rely on the
governor and follow his advice we will
have honey and plenty. His color
may be white, but that Is no fault of
his. He was born in these Islands
and Is as much a Hawaiian as you are.
1 stand today as an American citizen
and he stands as an American citizen,
but he Is no better American that I
| am or than we all are. But the deep
est interest he takes is in Hawaii. The
governor has told us that IL We love
| Hawaii we must love the Hawaiian
| flag and II you love that flag, I say
let us subscribe and get one. I see
| only the American flag flies here today
and the Hawaiian should be here also"
THE governor will supply Hawai-
| Ian flag IL you wish it," said Mr.. Hol-
stein.
I'm this land of flowers, where we
see only flowers and nothing but floral
decorations, there is none that is the
equal of Kaniho's fiowery language"
caid the governor. Laughter greeted
this sally.
CHEERS FOR ATKINSON.

Atkinson which were given with will
by the hundreds of men, women and
children present He was then called
/ upon for a speech.
II want to tell YOU" said Secretary
Atkinson, that am up here to watch
the Governor 0aughter). 1 am here to
look after your interests, and If the
Governor makes promises to you, tells
you he is going to give you something,
! am going to see that he does it. ~
'The Governor has been telling you
that he intended to use every effort to
have the County Act passed by Con-
gress. After the Supreme Court de-
clared the County Act void, I was in
structed to cable our representative
.iat 1t was the wish Of the administraA
tion that he urge the passage of the
County Act by Congress. Now, gen.
tlemen. that is the policy of the adj
ministration in relation to the govern
ment by the people and that is going
to be the keynote of the whole adj
ministration. If 1 can speak for Mr..
Carter. But before we can do any
thing We want your help. I will say
this, that even If we have the County
Act, there Is still work for the Terri
torial administration, in education, in
the police. in public works, etc. We
won't be able to carry on this gov
eminent unless we have your help
unless you send representatives to the
legislature who are in accord with the
administration. We want to show the
American people that we are capable
# self government. If we go on
scrapping as we have in the past, Con-
! gress will say you cannot govern
yourselves. Therefore I say to you
we must all work together and show
ourselves capable of governing this
country-and then we can make a sue
| cess of county government
1--WE have new men-we are starting
on a new era, and when you send
representatives to the Legislature, we
want people who will stand by us and
we will support them. Now 1 think
| 1t very fortunate that we have come
INTO the administration at this time.
There are s2,4UO,OO0 to be spent in the
next two years; and now understand,
every cent of that amount will be
spent. million Is now in the treas
ury; Kerpikai has the key. That two
million dollars is not the money We
pay for taxes-it is the money realized
from the sale of bonds. Besides that
we have our current funds receipts.
We are coming here and want to know
what you wish to have expended first.
If we spend twenty per cent on your
appropriation here we will have to
spend the same per cent on Oahu,
Maui and Kauai. Coming up here, I
find that you have no room for jailer.
He sleeps in one of the cells 0aughter).
In the appropriation bill there is $500
for jailer's cottage At the same
time l find that there are s41 900 APP
propriated for the schoolhouses on
Hawaii. You are going to get some
of that money (applause). And, gen.
tlemen, with your help it shall be spent
as you wish. I thank you for this
most hospitable reception and assure
you that it shall always be treasured
in my memory"
This concluded the speaking and the
party again repaired to the Kohala
Club house.
