Judge Ashford
Has Motto For
New Regiment
Suggests ''HoomanaWanui" to
Col. Atkinson of 32nd
U. S. Infantry

Hoomanawanui,' which comes
very near being the Hawaiian eGuiva-
lent for Don't give up the Ship is
proposed by Circuit Judge Clarence
w Ashford as the motto for the new
SD L. S. Infantry, recently rganized
in Hawaii and now stationed ut Soho
fIy I'd Barracks. III
In letter to Col. BENJAMIN w At
kinson, commanding the 3zd Infantry,
Judge Ashford says:
Il recommend as motto the .ia-
waiian word 'Hoomanawanui. II is
brief and expressive. il comes as
lear being the Hawaiian equivalent
for Don't give up the ship as anything
could.
Il recall that, in the very early
days of my residence in Honolulu, one
OF the volunteer fire companies had
that word as its motto Being inter.
ested. | inquired about it, more parti-
cularly because up to that time had
supposed that the word meant little
more than BE patient
But such inquiry revealed, and
very recent inquiries among those
highly qualified to speak, confirm the
fact that the word, in Il time of stress
or struggle, is used as an inspiration,
a rallying cry and an incentive to still
greater and prolonged eff TT.
1t has occurred to me tnaI such
word. with such broad and deep sig
nlficance, would be peculiarly apprc-
pirate for an American regiment born
In Hawaii for which reason very
respectfully, and with great Difference,
tender this suggestion"
Judge Ashford's suggestion of the
motto was brought about by the move
ment of the Chamber of Commerce to
present stand of colors to the new
regiment, the colors, it is understood,
10 bear the motto of the organization.

posed New City Government Candidates Coming
Out.

day afternoon at 4 o'clock to arrange
the preliminaries incident to the hold
ing Of primary to nominate officers

incorporation Of which will be voted
on at an early date.
Steps have already been taken to
comply with the law regulating cleo

poratcd. Wednesday morning. before
many people were aware that the city
was without charter, census takers
were out taking a census Of the city
and this was soon completed, 1t be-

population Of the city as proposed to

incorporation Cs cities OF over 5000
inhabitants. II is understood that the
cX-mayor and tho cX-aldcrmcn were
named in the petition as commissions
