HONORS TO
ARMSTRONG
Continued from page one).

Islands, do hereby record our appre-
citation of the industry, integrity and
ability which distinguished william
Nevins Armstrong in all his under
takings throughout long ard well
spent life and do express our deep
rsense of the loss which the community
and the nation have suffered by his
death,
BE it further resolved that we ten
der to the members of the family of
the deceased our sincere sympathy with
them in their affection.
THAT these resolutions be presented
to the Supreme Court of the Territory
of Hawaii and motion made for their
entry upon the record"
w. O. Smith was the first to second
the resolutions. He said that in Sec
onding the motion to spread the reso-
luton upon the records of the court,
he desired to pay a tribute to the me-
mory of the departed. He had first
met Armstrong in 1870. He spoke feel
ingly of the services Armstrong had
done to the Hawaiian government, and
of his high character and ability. His
kindness of disposition, geniality and
generous attitude towards all others
were specially commented upon by
Smith. May it be said of all of us,
sas it may be said of him, that the
world is better for his living" was the
speakers closing remark.
Judge Dole was equally eulogistic in
discussing the personal character of
the late lawyer and journalist. He said
no ba,
of such broad character and sympathies
| and possessing such ability to observe
and remember all that he saw i'm wide
and long travels and experience. 1t
was this that made him such good
companion and adviser. His sympathy
| seemed Unreasonable. People speak
of him as a pessimst and if he was
) somewhat given to pessimism it was
due to his enthusiastic devotions to the
| cause of humanity. Society moved too
| slowly for him,-he was impatient for
the progress of humanity. He was
always hopeful and every enterprise
for the benefit of humanity always
found him ready to give his time and
! efforts to aid"
| Judge Dole referred to his memory
of Armstrong in Doles own Punahou
school days and to the good influence
Armstrong had always eXerted. 81
feel that to me his place is one that
will not be filled. His memory will
always be helpful and inspiring"
Governor Carter said he desired to
speak as one of the younger men with
whom Armstrong had aways had a re-
parkably winning way. Rarely I'm
my experience" said the governor
"have | found a man with so little oi
the quality of criticism of his neigh
bors and so much of approval, "a quality
which particularly appeals to us here
perhaps. He never criticized, but al
ways sought out and appreciated the
good points"
The governor spoke of seeing Arm.
strong quite lately i'm Washington, and
noticing that he was physically feeblel
,than he had been, but said that his
intellect was as strong as ever. He
was taking a great interest in watch
ing the progress of events and remark
ed how inspiring it was to him I,
watch the noble progress of the countr!
and to see so much of honesty and
noble effort. He enjoyed all this,
said the governor, land l think his
enjoyment of it and appreciation of il
all was the one keynote of his char
acter'
In behalf of the court, Justice Hart
we'll paid an eloquent tribute to the
deceased and Chief Justice Frear ther
granted the motion to spread the reso-
lutions on the record.
