CIVIC DUTY

A delightful luau was given by
the Kaumuali chapter, Order of
Kamehameha, at Waimea, last Satur.
day afternoon in honor of Princess
Elizabeth Kahanu Kalanianaole.
whose husband, the late Prince Ka-
lanianaole, was the Ali Aimoku
(king) of the order There were
gathered Hawaiians from all corners
of the island to do honor to the
ming ways quite captivated tie hearts
of her people. After dinner. Hon.
A. G. Kaulukou, Kaukau Ali Of
the order, in few well chosen words
introduced her to those who were
present so that she might express
what she had in mind for the well
fare of her people. Many a heart
was drawn toward her on her per-
feet use of the Hawaiian of the long
ago, ard those who knew her hus-
band remarked on the similarity of
their use Of Hawaiian words.
AS is we'll known, the Princess
is on a tour of organizing her peo.
pie, especially the women folks into
cohesive units, so that they may
act as one in any important mat
ter which may come up for cor
sideration. She considers this duty
she owes her people. At Waimea
she explained this subject nearest
her heart to those who were there.
Because of the insinuations made
by those who thru malice would
like to see her fail in this noble
purpose, that she Is working for

casion to deny these insinuations;
she made it perfectly clear that her
one idea is to organize the Hawaiian
women so that they may act as
mary, each one is free to choose her
candidate, but when the candidate
is once nominated, then it was the
time for everyone to get in and
work for the success of the candi-
date. She advised that in the sell
ection of the candidate at tie pri-
mary the main thought should be
to select one who is honest, fear
less, well informed and who has
good prestige.
After discussing the matter and
all angles, in which the women
were assisted by some of the broth
er voters, the Waimea women agreed
to form a Republican club of Ha-
waiian women. Mrs. w. .. Crowell
was chosen president, Mrs. Lucy
Wright, vice president, Mrs Frank
Cox, secretary Mrs. Koani assistant
secretary, Mrs. George Huddy, treas.
urer; and an executive committee
composed of the president, secretary,
treasurer and Mrs. Kamaile, Mrs.
Waipa and Mrs. Kaiwa.
Those women who were present
from the other districts were re-
quested to go back to their districts
and arrange for meetings OF Uggan-
ization. AS the Princess was to be
at Hanalei on Sunday to a Sunday
school rally at Waioli church, it was
decided that meeting would be held
at llanalei on Monday morning and
at Kilauea on Monday evening. Ana
hola will gather at 10 a. IN. to e.

served at the Kapaa hall about noon
on Tuesday, and at p. m. the Ka-
paa women will organize.

cessary to wait until the following

This is the Princess first visit to
Kauai and she has fallen a willing
victim to the charms of our island.
On the other hand, Kauai is glad
to have her here. The Hawaiians es-
pecially are appreciative of what
she is trying to do to pcrpetuate
the good work inaugurated by her
husband, our lamented Prince.
