[Found under the column entitled: “LEI MOKIHANA”]

A Monument to Kamehameha III Might be Built.

The Association, The Daughters of Hawaii which just met in Honolulu decided to build a Monument to Kamehameha III, the kindhearted Alii, where he was born in Keauhou, and Miss Ana Paris will be sent there to to survey the site and to report to the Association.

The idea of this Association is to inscribe some words upon a rock that is located where the chief was born, after one side of the rock was shaved nicely away, and knowing that the rock was solid and would not wear away in the future. And if this is not possible, then they will put up a marble monument at this place with proper words telling of the birth of the alii and some other fitting things about him.

[Here is one of the articles under the Hawaiian-Language column of the Garden Island newspaper, called: “Lei Mokihana”. It was edited by J. M. Kaneakua  and A. G. Kaulukou. (And in following issues, also by H. W. Waiau.)]

Honolulu March 4.

Kinau just gave birth, on Sunday, Feb. 9th, to a son. Kauikeaouli named him Liholiho for his older brother who died in lands afar, and took this child as his own. The child is living with the King.

[This Liholiho, child of Kinau, is Kamehameha IV.]

What is to Become of Hawaii?

(Written for the Puuhonua.)

As time goes on, the Hawaiian People move backwards.

Why is this?

First. Because they are not united. Because of the lack of aloha for their own. Because they do not support each other. Because they do not help one another.

Second. Because of greed. Because of wastefulness. Because of the love of alcohol. Because of not being thrifty. For their not thinking of and neglecting  God.

It is clear that the Hawaiian people are shoved up against a wall; as the malihini white-skinned people come in droves to this land, so are the Hawaiians People pushed against a wall, they are new, but already they have settled themselves in; there are only but a few years left, you can count them on your fingers; the Hawaiians will have no Power in Government of their beloved land which God bestowed upon them.

Therefore, now is the time to stand firm, to think, and to come together, to give aloha to your own people, to be courageous, to economize, to be vigilant, to help each other, to go down on bended knee and ask God to free us from that whirlpool of naught, and to bring us to state of plenty.

Just as King Kauikeaouli proclaimed to the Hawaiian Nation, about kneeling down on bended knee and praising the Glorious Name of the Lord of hosts, to restore the Sovereignty of the Land (the Flag), that was stripped away by George Paulette, and what came about was that the flag was returned without ever being troubled again by Great Britain; so too with this.

For there is no time left to dally; we’ve lost our independence, we have no Power for Governmental Reform, as a result of our neglect, waste, and so forth; and our beloved Mother Tongue will be lost for all times. Hawaiians are being selected for positions under the Government.

Therefore, if you possess some aloha, some affection, some sentiment for the lifestyle of our People, now is the time; let us join in thought, in cooperation, like one great rope made of many strands, until we are able to pull massive things, like huge islands; that is what we need to do in these ongoing times.

ALOHA LAHUI [Love for the People].

The 28th of November.

On that day, the soldiers of Honolulu drilled about Kulaokahua, both Hawaiian and haole soliders, hundreds of them. The King and Queen went and inspected the troops; many of the officers from the British, American, and French warships came. They admired the drilling.

On the night, the Hawaiian alii and the haole ones, as well as all of the prestigious people came to the Palace to see the King and the alii.

On the 28th of Nov., the nations of Britain and France acknowledged the independence of this Hawaiian Nation, and that is the reason for the celebration on this day.

Monument Planned

Daughters of Hawaii Plan to Build Monument to Kamehameha III

In a meeting held by the Daughters of Hawaii at the residence of Mrs. L. A. Coney, on Richards Street last week, to think over the subject of building a monument to the alii, Kamehameha III, at Keauhou, Kona, Hawaii; it was undertaken and considered with much enthusiasm by all members present.

The place mentioned above for the building of monument is currently upon lands of the Bishop Estate, and is a very good area desired for that planned project. The ladies named below were chosen as a committee to decide the kind of monument that would be appropriate to be built at that place.

Another subject on the agenda of that meeting was the considering of a proper name for the park in Nuuanu, the first home of Queen Emma Kaleleonalani, and they decided that the park would be called “Emalani Park,” after Queen Emma. Mrs. Ellen Weaver was the committee chosen to go to meet with the Chief Executive Officer of the Campbell Estate. The last subject of that meeting was the decision to send letters of sympathy to Mrs. Nakuina for the passing of her loved ones, her husband and their daughter; with consideration of other small organization business—the presentation by the regents of their annual reports, and as a result of these presentations, the remaining funds of the organization was made clear.
