governor SAYS
HAWAIPS MONEY
WAS WELL spent
Places Emphatic Endorsement
on Building and Display at
San Francisco Fair
ATTACKS UNcALLED-F0R,
DECLARES Mr.. PlNkHAM
Comes Home With Several
Matters In Mind For I'm
mediate Attention

Governor Pinkham, just returned
from six weeks on the Pacific Coast,
gives his emphatic Endorsement to
Hawaii's exhibit at the San Francisco
exposition. He declares that the
money Hawaii spent has been we'll
spent, and that the islands are getting
a tremendous amount of desirable pub
licity from their building and its fea-
lures perhaps few but strongly at
tractiye.
The governor was at his desk early
this morning, tackling a big pile Of
correspondence End talking to visitors
who came on business or to greet
the executive after his absence. One
of the first matters to engage Mr..
Pinkham's attention will be that of
making some important appointments
to Office, but he doesn't intend to be
hurried into his choices. He will not
make an appointment until he is con-
vinced he has found the best avail
able man for it.
Speaking OF the Hawaii building, the
governor said:
There nave been some criticisms
among Hawaii people almost entirely
about the Hawaii building. I want
to say that the building and our dis
play, for the money we were able to
spend, is well worth II. The terri
tory's money has been well spent.
Moreover, it is gratifying to me to
find that the building is in a splendid
position-wh the main currents of
exposition visiting pass. near the beau
tiful lagoon right in the heart of
things.
1T would have been useless for Ha-
waii, with the comparatively small
amount Of money we had TO spend, to
try for q pretentious display. The
building we have Is attractive, ana il
has won notice everywhere.
He tells of q visit to the exposition
grounds during which in a brief ex.
cursion he and his conductor, j.
Walter Doyle, were asked four times
for directions to buildings-and three
OF the four times the inquiry was for
the Hawaii building.
The criticisms have come from
those who look at our building from
the home, the island standpoint, not
from the standpoint of the countless
visitors, to whom all is novel and new.
The painted fish some of them
may die, but they have won fame for
Hawaii's attractions"

even more successful than the first,''
