2 II is now practically conceded tliat the county act is invalid,
and will be so held by the Supremo Court. If so, the election of
county officers is void, and they will be usurpers if they attempt
to act as such. This means chaos. Tho only thin; to do is to have
tho Supreme Court pass on the bill, and if it is knocked out an
extra session of thelegislature should be called to pass an appropri
ation bill to tide us over tho coming year, and to pass a valid coun
ty bill calling for elaction of officers at the next general election.
Under the present condition of affairs, no county officer will dare
to perforin any official act. If the sheriflTelect makes arrests,
habeus corpus and a suio for civil damages will follow, and if tho
treasurer-elect pays out mnney, he and his bondsmen will be call
ed upon to mike good. The situation is awkward and embarrassing
but should bo- met properly. And in this uiatler all of the citizens
of the territory, without reference to political affiliations should unite
lor the common good.
Governor Carter's Inaugural
Adress.
In the prrFt'uce of nearly t wo thou
sand people, in tho legislative bull or
old Throne room of the Capitol build-
in j? in Honolulu the impressive cet-p-
monies attendant on the inauguration
of Governor Carter took place nn the
morning ot November 23.
Judge. Frear. robed in bis judicial
gown, administers! tbe oath, and
Governor Carter, after affixing bis
signature to tbe oath, delivered tbe
following address.
Fellow Citizens, Ladies and Gentle
men; A man can bardly find bimsolf in a
more difficult position than one in
which he must speak about himself.
Such is my position today, for I have
to tell you that only tin? 1 rue and M-ri.
ous conviction that I owe a citizen's
duty to this Territory, and also my
deep and earnest love for this land of
my birth, have led me to accept (.bis
high office, to which llic President of
our great Republic has been pleased
to call me.
Fellow citizens, Ibis is a most noble
position that I am called to yc were
it not for the sense that President
Roosevelt bos confidence in me, and
that many and able men of this Terri
tory are ready and williuir to ossist
me, I should hesitate before accept-
JB It is to be sincerely hoped that, Mr. Hatch will be turned down
when he comes before congress with the request that our county
bill bo ratified. Tiiese Islands should make 'their own county bill,
and if the act passed is for any reason invalid, we stiould learn by
bur mistake's and pass a Valid bill. It is serious question whether
or hot even Vf concrcss. should declare the bill valid, such action by
'congress would .have retroactive force to ratify the elections of
county officers. It is the belief of the News that county govern
ment will bump up against a stone wall, if the Territorial Supreme
Court declares it invalid in inception, no matter what action Con
gress sees fit to take. It was a mistake to have sent Mr. Hatch to
Washington on such an errand. The proper course would have
bean to have tested the bill of fore the Courts, and if it proved in
valid, then to have called the legislature together and have a pro
per bill passed. This would be expensive, but not so much so as a
lame attempt to run county governments.

$8$ The News has been criticized for its last week's editorial, in
which it was stated that Hawaiiatis are too commonly charged with
being untrustworthy in fidticiary capacities', but such criticisms
Were made by those who had not carefully and understanding
read the editorial in question. As a matter of fact, the honesty of
Ihe Hawaiians, as a race, is proverbial, and man' Hawaiians have
' proven that they may be trusted in any official capacitv. That was
precisely the reason why the News editorially suggested that the
Hawaiians themselves should be the first to rebuke wroug doing in
official positions among their own people.
S2s The liberal policy of the Kahului Railroad Co. touching freight
rates, brieflly outlined in this issue, and the enterprise exhibited
in improvements of the road and its depots and warehouses are
matters ol congratulation to Wailukn and to the people of central
Maui generally whose interests are all in common. The time must
.come when Kahului will be built up as a snug little seaport town,
with a government wharf leading out to deep water, and Wailuku
and central Maui will share in the increased prosperity which this

'dable zeal in tho matter of taking up and rushing public impiove
inents, notably school buildings. As he is new to the Islands as
well as the office, the News suggests that there is an islaud known
us Maui containing a town officially designated ut Wailuku, for
which an appropriation of 25.000 has been made to erect a sorely
needed school building, and the ground is all prepared for the
building. Please, Mr. Superintendent, give us our schoolhouse;

j8? The ease with which the lantana pest has been checked and
the certainty of its eventual extermination on the Islands is the
best guarantee possible that all other pests may be met arid over
come. "By the sweat of thy brow thou shall live," has a large and
6weet meaning, when applied to efforts put forth to resist island
pests, and it is certain that intelligent and well-directed labor has
nothing to fear here more than elsewhere either in the matter of
small farming, or of our principal industry.
I !& If asked what the chief benefit to be derived from an exhibi
t tion at tbe St. Louis Exhibiton would be, the most truthful answer
' would be an influx of tourist travel. This is so broadly and patently
true that it should shape the policy of those who will have our ex
i hibit in charge, and those things should be exhibited which would
; most strongly incline visitors at the St. Louis Exposition to plan a
f visit to the Islands.

jy American diplomacy like ordinary American business methods
is sometimes brusque, but generally to the point, as was striking-
; ly illustrated in the Hays-Varilla Panama Canal treaty, the terms
' of which while apparently strongly in favor of the United States
still offer the strongest possible safeguard to the little republic
which has dealt with us so generously.

This task which has come upon me
is one which I assume with misgiving.
1 am young and impulsive, but youth
is not always a bar to administrative
success, and in spite of my tempera
ment, I hope to show you that an
earnest and fearless worker can pro
duce results whish are worthy of your
estimation, if not of your entire ap
probation. This I can tell you: I shall devote
myself heart and soul to the duties of
my high office. The country of my
birtli shall never say that 1 spared
myself in serving her. In accepting
the Governorship, I dedicate such tal
ents as I have to the best interests of
Hawaii and Hawaii's people.
Iftandhere today anxious to cham
pion the just cause of every man, wo
man and child in these islands, and
still more anxious to advance Hawaii
and Hawaiians in their progress to
statehood.
Grand as the position is which I
have to assume, great are the res
ponsibilities; and knowing my own
shortcomings as no one el.se but my
self can know them, it is with the
greatest diffidence that I come before
you today as appointed Governor of
this Territory. Most thoroughly do
I realize the peculiar conditions and
difficulties wb'ch surround the position'.
I know that matters may often go
wrong and that I shall be sharply
and, no doubt, very wholesomely
criticized for Ihein. I know that when
right I shall ofter be thought wrong
by those who do uot view or under
stand tlie whole situation. It is clearly
the duty of a man in the position to
which I have been appointed to do
right, no matter what adverse opin
ion there may be. '

the Irne citizen stands firm, and in

honorable polic to its legitimate end
and stands or falls by bis ideals.
Fellow citizen-, that is what 1 in
1 1-nd to strive for, and it is to reach
Miat. end I bat I need your utmost help.
It is your interests, not mine -that I
sbull serve.
Our Isl.uid home, inv feilow citizens,
i.i a beautiful one. There are few more
beautiful. Tbe colors of Italy and
Greece,' the scenic beauties of tipain,
the marvels of India's vast plains and
Africa's grand plateaus may be vaunt
d, but none of them cun reach tne
i icb coloring of sea and sky, the cool,
varying greens of our tropical forests,
the rich shadows of our receding
valleys, the soft breezes which waft
the sweet perfume of our beautiful
flowers, and Ihe gentle teiideruess of
our climate. I love Hawaii, from the
rugged crown of Mauiui Loa to the
summit breakers that dash upon the
fringing coral reefs.
Until is not our beauty that we
must consider; there are other and
more practical things that you and I
must study.
Harraii has a present, and also a
future. Her present gives her great
resources. Her rich plains and her
mountain slopes; her recurrent show
ers and the limpid waters from her
valUys give her exuberant crops,
which support all her population in
comparative affluence. There are
few countries in the world so blessed
or whose present is more prosperous.
The future-that, grand and wonder
ful future which is looming before us,
portentous with great 1 events,
find the Territory of Hawaii a central
ligure. The Pacific is going to be the
theater of the world's history. The
untold tale of human existence is
going to be unfolded about the shores
and in tho waters of earth's mightiest
ocean.
The waters ot this ocean wash the
coasts of continents on one of which
is the oldest empire, on another the
mightest Republic tho world has ever
seen. Our small Territory is geogra
phically so situated that the great
lines of commerce must pass our
doors. In Hawaii, the Occident and
the Orient meet. In, Hawaii the
Anglo Saxon population of Australia
shakes hands with the equally sturdy
population of North America. It
remains with Hawaii to wield her
influence to make herself great.
When I consider this; when I realize
that the peace, the prosperity, the
honor and the happiness of this my
birthplace are staked tor four iong
yeaison the issue of this day, 1 humbly
pray for the wisdom, the patience
tbe fairness, the clear judgement and
ability so grratly needed.
It is no light burden which is put
upon me. In that it is an honor, I
am proud. In that it is a trust put
upon mo to give the best I have to my
fellow citizens, I accept it..
. I shall aim in my executive control
to give this Territory un Administra
tion frugal in public expenditure,
thus lightening the burdens of the
poor.
I inicnd to be scrupulously honest
in the payment of u'.l Government
debts and obligations, thus sacredly
preserving our good faith and credit.
To all there will be fair trealment.
