mis-stating, wilfully I believe, of
what I said. I was criticizing a rule

cision of the Supremo Court -rendered
thirty-seven years ago. The
court, or its personnel, was not !n
my mind. I had no moro idea of at
tacking tho court than I had of at
tacking Abraham Lincoln. On tho
contrary, I havo always been a
staunch supporter of our Supremo
Court. I believe it has been tho bul

Kamehameha Day
Kamehameha Schools havo Issued a
flno Commencement number of The
Handicraft. Tho school journal Is got
ten up in oxcellont fashion. It Is pub
lished by tho Press Club of tho
Kamehamoha Schools, and printed
by tho Mechanical Instruction Department.
On some bare hillside where the mynahs scream
And the gray cactus endless vigil keeps,
His empire passed, his power but a dream,
Hid from all eyes, Kamehameha sleeps.
Alive, he sought his people's lasting good,
Foreseeing all the troublous years to be
Had they but weighed his words and understood,
Might have been stemmed the tide of destiny.
His realm Is still the same, but 'neath the palms
The haoles pass and sing the songs he sung,
And barter In the marts, while alien arms
Have to the breeze a stranger banner flung.
Today, as loyal as In olden days,
His remnant children keep his memory green,
And at his statue each one homage pays
And loving reverence to his kindred queen.
, For one short day let wave Hawaii's flag,
For old time's sake the ancient meles sing,
Let hearts betjlad and regret's footstepsMag,
y in honor of Hawaii's tangliest king.

Editor Star: Tho writer Is per
fectly willing, If argument's sake re
quires, to admit his bias and preju
dice in tho matter of a proper Fed
eral building site, with a view to tho
objects desired, which exclude any
question of tho effect on land values
In tho vicinity chosen, or of how
greatly to be feared is consistency
"that hobgoblin of small minds; Your
editorial of yestorday, however,
seems to call for a llttlo criticism,
which will bo judged on its own mer
its Irrespective of the natural bias
of ono who does not own property in
tho neighborhood of Fort Btrect.
Having somo timo ago called for
tho names of the first, and last, flvo
hundred petitioners for a change of
site with tho apparent open-minded-uess
of tho Mlssourian, who, though
having to bo "shown," is "good sport"
enough to "acknowledge tho corn"
when once the demonstration is com
ploto, not a "peep" worthy of your
roputatlon has been hoard from you
since, as apparently wo may fairly
say, your "bluff" was "called." And
the question which you aro now urg
ing Is not, whether the petition really
amounts to anything, or is really rep
resentative, but Is rather ono of
nlarm lost tho United States should
daco on tho Irwin slto a building of
"sovorb linos", tho "warohouso linos
common to Fedoral structures out
side s of Washington," but of which
fow, if any, examples can bo cited
from buildings now In erection or
lately orected, tho only fair compara
bio examples, tho real lost tho pro
posed building should not "harmon

In the wrong with tho scores of such
mon of onllghtonod good taste and
judgment as President Griffiths,
Bishop Restarick, Faxon Bishop, a
number of tho directors of Hackfelds,
Georgo Castle, and others who havo
signed tho petition, than to bo In tho
right with yourself and tho twelvo tai
lors of Fort street, you who fear that
the "crowding," as your editorial
says, of tho proposed civic center,
"will utterly defeat tho ends In view,"
whatever the ends In view may mean,
according to whothor tho vlow bo
along "Fort street" or along a broad
er avenue.
Your argument is that, because wo
havo' a Carnegie library, already
placed on King street, Walklki of tho
Capitol grounds, and because wo
havo a county building In possible
prospect, wo should avoid "massing,
architecture" . . "on tho llttlo
Squaro" (Why "llttlo" In comparison
with tho Mahuka slto?) and should
look out for "amplo parkago" for "one
or two decoratlvo buildings." (If tho
Irwin slto Is not amplo, what do you
call tho Mahuka slto?) Why tho evi
dently Implied assumption that a Fed
eral building would not bo "decora
tive"? Wo guess tho Fedoral' Gov
eminent Is just as well ablo to build
"decoratlvo" buildings and has Just as
compotont architects at its command
to design such buildings as tho city
and county of Honolulu, and that tho
Federal Govornmont will havo much
