Constitutional
PARTY EN- FETE
Members of Chinese Liberal
Association Observe
New Years.

Chinese New Years day was one of
great rejoicing among the members of
the Chinese Empire Constitutional AS
ISOLATION of Honolulu. Last New
Years day Q907), was the occasion of
changing the name Chinese Empire
Reform Association" to Chinese EN-
pire Constitutional Association That
occasion was celebrated by a grand
celebration was not so elaborate, it was
by no means less joyous. This year
the Chinese Empire Constitutional AS
ISOLATION throughout the world adopts
new flag to supersede the old flag
of the Triple Stars" To the flagstaff
over the building OF the local associa-
ton, on corner of Hotel and Smith
streets, was raised the new flag of the
Eastern Hemisphere" on New Years
day. On this occasion of raising the
flag, the members of the. association
lined up on the sidewalk on Hotel
street, opposite the society hall, while
the band played the Chinese national
anthem and a few other selections
The president of the association, Dr.
K. F. Ii, made few remarks, explain
ing to the members the meaning of the
occasion. After his brief speech, the
members gave three cheers, followed
by the playing of the Chinese national
anthem.
The adoption of the new flag with
blem. by the association meant much
to the members of the organization.
The Chinese Empire Constitutional
Association, was founded by its lead
ers, Kong Yau Wal and Leong Kai
Cheu, to institute reformation of China.
During its career of eight years, the
association has done much in arousing
more ardent patriotism among the Chi
nese people, both at home and abroad,
and in working for the union OF the
people in promoting the cause of the
reformation and uphft of China. The
association adopts the Eastern Hem
isphere" as the emblem of it's new flag,
because China is in that quarter Of
the globe and it is for the advance
ment of China that this association
has dedicated its service.
AT 1870 a. m, the installation of new
officers of the association took place
The new officers of the ensuing year

president, Wong How; second vice
president, Leong Lun. The retiring Of
