man; T. Brandt, w. d. McBryde, Jos
F Bettencourt, Jr., A Menefoglio.
Before the Board proceeded with its
business Mr.. Brandt notified the
Board that he had decided to resign
his Office as Supervisor of the Waimea
District and that his resignation will
be forwarded to the governor by the
first outgoing mail. In giving this
notice he said
For sometime | have been trying
to get an opinion, from the Attorney
General in regard to possible conflict
between my position as Supervisor
and owner of considerable stock in
certain corporations in the habit of
While it was clear to me that the Stat
ute in regard to this matter covers
public contracts awarded after bids
had been advertised for it was an
open question and a doubt in my mind
whether it also would cover occas-
ional purchases made by the County
Engineer in behalf of the County.
According to the Interpretation Of the
Statute by the Attorney General in a
letter received yesterday it seems as
if the Statute also covers this kind of
business and that such purchases
would be contrary to law. Under
these circumstances / feel that, in
justice to myself, the interest of my
associates as well as the best interest
of the County, l should resign from
the position that now occupy and
my resignation accordingly has been
written out and will be forwarded to
the Governor in the first outgoing
mail. 1t is with sincere regret that
take this step; my associates with my
fellow County Supervisors and other
officials of the County during my in
cumbency as Supervisor from Wal
mea District had been exceedingly
pleasant, it had been a real pleasure
to go to the meetings.. have been i'm
pressed by the public spirit and fine
lofty ideas on the part of the Supervi-
sors in the dealings with the questions
coming up for decision, there has
been. exceedingly friendly relations
| and | feel that the County's business
has been faithfully and ably conduct
ed. Personally | have taken great
pleasure in attending meetings and
the work in connection with it and
shall often miss the meetings and the
associations that l have had during
these four years and now wish to be
relieved from attending this meeting

I. immigrant, and make him feel at home, if you want to protect
this country from radicalisrn in thought, word and action" is the
advice of Judge Joseph Burlington, of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals, an. authority on immigration.
For twenty-five years this judge has sat in the naturalization
court. Stirring the melting pot for so long, the judge, than whom
there is no stancher advocate Of Americanism, knows the immi-
grant from A to z. s
Out of every seven Of our American population one is a foreign
born citizen and another the son or daughter of foreign-born par
entage. America has been guilty of snobbishness, according to the
judges observations; instead of welcoming the immigrant with a
hearty handshade and making him feel at home, Amesica has neg
lected him. Consequently he has fallen into the hands Of false
prophets. These agitators, preaching heretical doctrines, have led
the immigrant away from the ideals that lured him to our shores.

right. What the foreign-born did during the war is the best evil
dence of what he will do under enlightened guidance, Remember
the basis of democracy is selfgovernment. That means government
of self and not selfish government. AS a people we are all of two
classes: those grasping for so-caled rights and those doing their
duty. One thousand men must do their duty that one man NAV
enjoy a single right. Let's do our duty and be a brother to the
foreign-born."
