REPRESENTATIVES, NORRIS.
Judge Norris OF Nebraska, the next
speaker, expressed his pleasure at the
opportunity of meeting the great COM
mon people OF honolulu. The trip OF
tho party had been an educational one
for them and most enjoyable one,
and Ill were leaving with great
pride a end love for the people OF the
HI vaiian Islands And while the trip
hae been great educational one, he
thought 1t would be n great thing II a
delege ION from the islands could visit
the mainland In the same way and learn
OF the greatness of the American Re
pubic He wished that every Hawaiian
citizen would learn the early history of
the American Republic, SO that all
would realize the great Importance OF
this day. the natioual funeral day. The
had retained some evil as
n compromise, the black curse of slav-
cry, which ii was reserved for the he
roes of our own time to do away with,
sacrificing their patriotic blood in the
carre of freedom. He wished the peo-
pie OF Hawaii could realize what sac
rifices had been made for the flag to
keep IT untarnished. 1t is in the home,
where wives and mothers have parts

taught. Man alone does not make gov

His particular work has been In in
the harbors and he could
~ that when the work projected by
lie Federal government had been COM
eted Honolulu and Hilo would have
good harbors as any port in the
nited States. Regarding the work
/ Kauai and Maui he could not say
'ecifically what might be expected,
1t he thought that at least there
ould be one good harbor on each of
e principal islands.
In order to Justify the expenditure of
lblic money there must be commerce
