1t Is the last funeral OF the kind that Hawaii
will see.
1t WAS estimated that mt the time Captain Cook
discovered the Hawaiian Islands. then known as
the Sandwich islands. there were 100000 pure

little power of resistance Civilization made them
wear conventional clothing. 1t made them live In
board houses. Civilization is II disease to the far
flung Islands Of the Pacific.
This vanishing race of Hawaiinns is an attrac
tive race, and they were n grent people
When Napoleon was laundering across the cont
ncnt Of Europe. Knmchamchn !. the first king OF
the Ilawnans Il soldier and II statesman. was or
ganizlng the kingdom of Hawaii lie united all
the Islands of TINT splendid group and created II
monarchy thnt was known and recognized through
out the world and had representatives In and
diplomatic representatives from the governments
OF the world The HawnIians were IL great peo.
pie. great In craftsmanship. Ircnt In war, and
great In their social life, They love music and
beauty. They live In n land Of unusual beauty
and Of incompatible climate.
But the native Hawaiian has one fault tha,
unhts him for nn age OF grecd-he gives while he
has anything to give. The desire to possess any.
thing that belongs TO n Hawaiian Is n command
to the Hawaiian that he give II. and he does NO.
1t is in this way that they hive given up their
lands that they have given up their territory TINT
they have given up that which was theirs
The Hawaiian. tall. athletic, handsome gentle
cshc,ic. can toll hard on occasion. but nature and
his environment have untitled him for sustained
labor and diuugcry.
Because OF this, when American planters about
nfty years age began growing sugar on large cs.
tntcs In the island they had to send abroad for
laborcrs. Spaninrds and Portuguese. then Swcdes
Norwcginns. Dutchmcn and Germans were import.
cd. Then Mexico and the Orient were turned TO
MS recruiting grounds Today. as n result OF the
labor policies OF the sugar Planters there Is n
most extraordinarily mixed population on the
islands.
The Aslnt!c population do large part OF the
agricultural work. They supply the labor vnnrs
to the grcnt sugar plantations. which occupy the
best lands In the islands. The native Hawu,ians
are forced to live In poverty In the large towns or
gain n poor living on the arid or waste lands left
available to them.
