GOVERNOR FREAR'S GREAT
RECEPTION AT WAILUKU
He Delivers an Address at Grand Ball. Visits
to School and to Public Works
and Buildings.

and one of the most active places in
the Territory, and some say that the
county seat may be there yet
Never be satisfied the Governor
said Go ahead and let US get more.
Dlsabuse your minds of the idea that
the government must do everything
for US. The government is organized
for the purpose of doing in a body
what an individual can not do Most
of what we get we must get for our
selves.
THE Federal Government has done
much for us, but not enough. The
bringing of the Congressman here was
good thing. We now have many
friends in Congress where we formerly
had but few.
The Secretary of the Navy now
looks after us where before the work
was done by a subordinate I feel
that the government should make the
harbor at Kahului a harbor equal to
that of Honolulu.
The success of your county govern
ment rests with you If you elect good,
honest business men to fill your offices,
and especially such men as supervis-
ors, your county affairs will be salts
factory. Most of you want to see good
roads built. In order that this may
be done to your satisfaction and your
money is not wasted, the men you
elect should be intelligent, honest bus
mess men.
The superintendent of Public Works
is here to find out your needs He is
going to build more schoolhouses and
school cottages. The Commissioner of
EO,,Ia T 4
acquainted with the wants of the peo-
Pile in the matter of the lands. His
duties are very difficult Different |
classes of lands are wanted by differ
ent classes of people.
The Hawaiians particularly desire
taro lands while the Portuguese desire |
another class. The matter of allotting |
the lands and the matter of acreage to |
be given in each case is a difficult I
problem.
Gone of the greatest needs of the
Territory is a greater interest in agri-
culture. Children should be instructed |
in the larger schools along these lines.
This work can be done in such schools
as Lahainaluna Seminary and we will |
soon have available an appropriation
from the Federal government of thirty
agricultural college. Every year this
amount is increased by the Federal
government to the extent of five thou
sand dollars until the amount reaches
fifty thousand dollars and then the
amount remains at that figure in future.
Again let me admonish you to vote
for good honest capable men in order
that you may keep up your reputation
