plants at Kahuku is also true Of
the doctor In Kohala and the inter-
prefer at Waipahu, the man Shimi-
zu;-Wasn't he sycophant? A
sycophant of the worst kind, and
they did well to exclude these syco-
plants from their society.
Now then, we come to the last Of
these charges that II Is claimed by
the prosecution go to make up, and
from which you can infer. the crime
of conspiracy; that is, the use of
certain violent words.
Bear in mind. gentlemen, that
here was bitter newspaper con-
troversy; that is the first thing to
get in your heads. and let Il remain
there, good and deep. A bitter news
paper controversy, that is the testi-
mony, and bear in mind also that
these newspapers, the jill, the Shin
po. the Jiyu and the Chronicle, are
written in the Japanese language.
Now bear in mind also that the
japanese language, like every other
language. lends itself readily to
figures Of speech.
Isn't II so in Hawaiian? "Wela
ka hao!" think that means, 1.-THE
iron is hot" but don't you hear the
word used many and many a time,
meaning not that at all but some
thing else. having some other mean
Ing to your minds except a piece of
hot iron? Why, of course. "Huki
mai ka ulua!" which am informed
. means Pull away at the fish nets, s.
but In common parlance I under
stand that 1t means something very
: very different, what. l am sure !
don't know; I am not Hawaiian
scholar. ! have heard the word
used many times, and so believe
1t Is throughout your language, that
, you use in Hawaiian figures of
, speech, and very. very extensively.
