PREPARING FOR
CIVIC CONCLAvE

Hilo. July S-Director William
Mckay and his board which has
charge of the arrangements for the
Fifth Civic Convention which is
to be hello i'll Hilo on September
21-25 are working hard on the
selecting of subcommittee which
will have charge of the many de-
tails of the big gathering. These
committees should all be appoint
ed by next week and then some
really hard work will be put in.
The throwing of the Fourth
of July celebration into the past
clears the way for even larger do
ings of the convention and county
fair. The latter event is to be
staged in Hilo on September 22-23
and it promises to even excel the
wonderful fair of two years ago.
The various civic organizations
in the islands have again been
written TO and they have been
asked to suggest any feature that
they think would enliven the pro-
ceedings of the convention. Sub
jects for discussion, particularly
those relating to future legislation
for the territory and also relating
to county affairs have been asked
for and it is hoped that some vaiu-
able answers will be received from
the civic bodies.
The county fair directors, head
ed by DR.. H. B. Elliot, are also
going ahead we'll with their plans
and now that the full lists of ex-
hibits asked for have been distri.
buted throughout the island it is
found that even greater interest
than before, if possible, has been
aroused. The second fair to be
held in Hilo promises to be the
best proposition of the kind ever
staged in Hawaii.
Kuhio Wharf. where the fair is
to be held, is an ideal place for
such an event. The enormous
deck space and the facilities for
accommodating a huge crowd of
visitors appeal to everybody. The
July Fourth crowd of five thousand
people were easily fitted into the
big shed and many favorable COM
ments were heard concerning the
decision of the county fair people
to hold their annual exhibition on
the wharf. Everything points to
a great time next September.

Mr.. Chairman, Officers and Men
of the National Guard Of Hawaii
and Citizens and Friends:
One hundred and forty years
ago this day there gathered. in inn
pressive assemblage, in the city of
Philadelphia. fifty-six distinguish
ed men, representatives Of the
thirteen colonies of America,
charged with the weightiest res
possibilities, and prepared TO an
nounce certain fundamental prin-
ciples OF rights and government
that were to mark profound ad-
vance in tine welfare of mankind, g,
and they then and there signed a
Declaration of Rights and Inde-
pendence that brought forth the
United States of America.
As a premise these founders of
the Republic declared:
we hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men r e
created equal that they are en-
dowed by their Creator with GER
tain unaliena6le rights; that among
these are life, liberty and the pur.
suit of happiness.
That to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among
men deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed.
when a long train of abuses
and usurpations evince a design
to reduce them under absolute
despotism; it is their right, it is
their duty to throw off such gov
yernment and provide new guards
for their security.
ITO prove this let facts be SUBJ
mitted to a candid world"
The Declaration specified as fol-
lows:

Four charges of unjust military
imposition in times of peace.
Five charges OF melting and

Three charges as to foreign juris-

In the Declaration there was
still one remaining charge. to wit:
For cutting OF our trade with all
