The form of our government Is

abraham Lincoln-"A government of
the people, by the people, for the
people" And because it is For the
people, it is benevolent, it is right.
If our ninety millions Of people need

then the right to govern them would
nowhere exist.
All civilized nations, of modern
times, to a greater or less degree, rec
ognize this truth, but, so far as |
know, no nation except ours has
made it the foundation stone of it's
light to exist. One hundred and
thirty-one years ago this day our
fathers proclaimed us a free and in
dependent nation. This they had
right to do, if the people of the then
Colonies needed so to be governed,

THE NEW HONOLULU FOURTH.

1t was more a new-fashiOned
Fourth than an "old-fashioned' one
which Honolulu celebrated this year,
The new phase of it was the inter-
est taken by the more recent citizens
of the United States, who were pres
eut at the literary exercises in larger
numbers than has ever been noticed
in "of-year' Fourth of July celebra-
lions. BY off-year we would include
the years when there has been no
long, elaborate and expensive prep
aration.
As each year passes these new"
citizens are coming to look upon In
dependence Day as their day, and
not an occasion set apart for the spe-
cial glory of those American-borns
directly or indirectly from the main
land.
This spirit of the New Fourth is
pleasing to every person broadly and
honestly American. As it increases,
the Americanism of Hawaii becomes
more an everyday reality.
