was republic, Judge Dole was the
President, and now, under the Terri

head of the legal discipline of the is
lands.
Despite his SO years, he possesses al
the vigor and strength of much

woman ana the strength of the man.
! Every morning, clad all in white. as
is the custom of many men in the is
lands, he walks downtown to his Offices
in the old palace, scorning the electric
cars which pass his door every ten
minutes. He is six feet two inches

vered locks resting like a crown of
glory above his broad, high forehead.
Before him sit Japanese, stolid and
silent, Misunderstanding Porto Rican
or two, perhaps sprinkling of Portu-
guese from smauka' = of Punchbowl;
young Chinese girl in gay tunic and
pantaloons, with eyes that have for
gotten to be demure; native Hawaiians
with bright leis around their hats;
sshapa -haoles (half-whites) and Amer

Majestic as any king of the old
regime who walked these ancient halls,

bench, symbolizing all that law and
order and justice may mean. Many
visitor from the mainland drops into
the courtroom during the morning just
to carry away with him the picture of
the white haired, bearded judge
melting out Justice with impartial hand.
