admission to practice, but he himself
paid it before the Governor could
reach his pocketbook.
In introducing Judge Woodruff, Judge
Dole called attention to the great
amount of work which the United
States District Court has had to per-
form for some years past. The work
has been so heavy, he said, that he,
single handed, has not been able to keep
up with it, and as a result the delays
of justice have been little less than dis
graceful. But with Judge Woodruff
on the bench beside him, he anticipated
that the court would soon be able to
catch up with its work and that here
after cases could be tried more expe-
ditiously. Concluding, Judge Dole as
sured Judge Woodruff and Mrs. Wood
ruff, who was also present, of the good
will and aloha of the people of Hawaii.

George \. Davis reminded the Judge
that the clause in the oath he had Just
taken, by which he promised to do jus
tice by the poor as well as the rich
was put there for purpose. He was
sure the Judge appreciated the signif
cance of it, but he wanted to remind
him that there are lots of rich in Ha
wall. He told the Judge that all tn,
bar expected was kind and courteou,
treatment, and that they would ACCORD
the same to the Judge.

Judge Woodruff responded briefly t

of the bar in the work he was about t
take up. He promised that while pei
forming his duties as Judge, he woul
also do his best to be a good efsizer
