sovereign of Hawaii-that is you--the
people, for you are the sovereign.
AN EXPERIMENT
s'These two experiments are being
tried. know how you are anxious to
make a success Of your experiment.
It strikes home to every one, when we
are criticised and you want to win
the respect and esteem of the people
who control the great republic and
so do I want to make a success-to
prove that this third ration crop has
a good yield of sugar. So we must get
together. When two men are going
along the same road, each with a
heavy load, 1T they pull together they
get along faster. So you and must
pull together, / will help you and I
want you to help make this admins
tration success in Hawaii nei.
HEARTS ARE NOT COLD.
it was useless to appeal to the Hawai-
ian people, that their hearts were cold,
that they wanted to be left alone and
have nothing to do with the haoles.
but I find your hearts open, you hold
out your hands as in the old days.
That you are susceptible to reason
can prove. I have yet to meet a Ha-
waiian who, when it is explained to
him, will choose the wrong path when
the right way is opened to him. His
path will be the right path, but often
many people use the wrong methods.
No human being likes to feel that he
is being forced-but many of US are
only too glad to do things when ask
ed with aloha in our hearts.
LEGIsLATUREs SUCCESS.
TO prove what say is true, I have
only to refer you to the last session
of the legislature. People said it would
take sixty days, leave the Territory
more deeply in debt and not do any
thing. What was the result? After
L called the legislature together | ask
ed them to come to my Office and APP
pealed to their pride-to their love Of
Hawaii The result was that in four
teen days they passed fourteen bills
and cut the appropriations fifty per
cent. This record is not surpassed in
any state in the Union There are
other things that have demonstrated
to me that the Hawaiians are as SYM
as can be found anywhere.
MUST SPEAK BOTH LANGUAGES.
I'm my direction of affairs here
want to impress upon you that every
employee is your servant. Everyone
has his rights before these officials,
from the highest to the lowest. But
7 must also ask you to remember that
there is no work so hard as that of a
pubic official. He gets lots of kicks
and little praise. His position is a
difficult one to fill. AS an illustration
of my idea 1 will relate a, little Incl
dent which occurred in my office re-
Gently. A man came in and wanted
to be appointed sheriff of one of the
islands. I asked him if he was an
American. YES" said he, "he was
born and bred an American Then I
asked him if he could speak Hawaiian.
He said he couldn't and 1 told him he
could never be sheriff of one of the
Hawaiian Islands then. He was huhu
and said he had never heard of such
a thing. But it is a fundamental prin-
ciple that the government is for the
people and the majority must be ac-
comnodated. On the other hand I viii
not appoint a Hawaiian who does not
speak English. I want you to under
stand me. I want you to know that I
want the government run for the peo-
pie, and I want you to feel that the
government is a great thing in Ha-
wall, and that you are part of it.
The government can never support the
people. the people must support the
government.
DANCE AND RECEPTION.
At eight a reception and dance was
given in the hall at Waimea, at which
there was a large turnout of the peo-
pie of the three voting precincts OF
Hanapepe. KekaFla and Wainea.
FRIDAY MORNING AT HANALEL
AT six o'clock the party boarded the
w G. Hail, which had been specially
detailed for this service and took the
trip along the wonderfully picturesque
coast to Hanalei-past the pals and
