''The United States does not deal
with nationalities in dealing with it's
citizens, but with individuals. The
race from which any particular citizen
springs neither advances nor retards
the citizen, but his own individual ac-
tlons and ability do. All races are
equal before the law and the equality
guaranteed by the Constitution and the
flag extends equally to Hawaii with
her many races and mixed citizenship,
as it does to any other of the States
and Territories of the Union.'
This was the keynote of all the many
different speeches made yesterday by
the Secretary of the Interior at the
various schools visited, eleven in num-
Der. At each school the Secretary
spoke and in each speech he dealt
with a different phase of the one sub
ject. that of the duties of good citizen
ship and the equality of all men, law
abiding. beneath the flag.
1t was a strenuous day for the Sec
retary and those who accompanied
him, a strenuosity to which the Sec
retary proved himself admirably equal.
Indeed he quite outdid the other mem
bers of the inspecting party. who, by
the time the Bishop Museum was
reached. at four o'clock, were very
content to sit down and rest while
the Secretary climbed the various
stairs and made thorough inspection
of the museum galleries in the wake
of Professor Brigham.

Mott-Smfth, George r. Carter, Attor-
