the Hawaiian Islands for more than
half century. American civilization,

plans. and American thought was
translated into the Hawaiian papers

American religious teachings had been
taken in by the Hawaiians. As to the
great mass of the electorate the speak

English and Hawaiian languages. La

that Amerieanized. He did not know

sonal liberties and rights are disre
garded2 We can get along for a while
without that kind of civilization. L
