HAWAII THE
tfy Chain
Years ago before prohibition morals
were so loose among* the Hav.aiians
that the whita people built their |
houses with high walls around them,;
obstructing the views of the street^,1
a wealthy American, now one of Htm-j
olulu's oldest and mnsl. nivmi it i
I residents, married a young* Hawaiian '!
! woman shortly after arriving* on the
inlands. Public conditions were sj
shocking that after the birth of their
first child they had a huge wall erect j
ed around their home embracing a j
small garden enclosure for the child
to play in. For five years the child's
world consisted of the space within
the enclosure.
Customs That Once Prevailed.
The missionaries ceaselessly endeavored
to convert the natives and
instruct them as to marriage. Teaching
marriage was the missionaries'
greatest problem. The natives could
not or would not understand the
meaning of fidelity to one person. In
the olden days, it is said, when the
poorer natives had six or eight children
in a family they would kill all
but one male child. Shortly after
birth the father would bury the infant
alive, often beneath the floor of
their house, the mother assisting in
trampling the earth over the little
form. A tale is told of a Hawaiian
family during a quarrel between husband
and wife when a little boy of
seven was seized by his father. The
little fellow was grasped by his arms
and legs, his back being broken over
his father's knees, then thrown at the
feet of his mother. A child was absolutely
at the mercy of his parents,
there being no law governing the
treatment of children.
An old Hawaiian inhabitant in Hon
olulu tells of being buried alive by j
her parents. After trampling the |
earth above her tliey left her for
dead. A neighbor watching the procedure
hurried to revive her and after
days and nights of loving care
she was adopted ; A1 raised by her I
neighbor's family.
The children of chiefs (those in
authority next to royalty) were reared
entirely by nurses who were never
allowed to correct them. If royalty .
or the chiefs were disobeyed it mean.)
instant death without a hearing, lr
a mere man over touched possession i
of a chief, if he waiked in the shadow
of a chief's home, if in the presence
of a chief his hand went to his head
or if he stood on a higher elevation,
the death penalty was enforced.
How a Queen Converted Her Subje tsj
A Hawaiian queen easily convert
'ed, was desirous of her subjects' -dis
dain for their idols and gods. Pear i t
offending their gods made progressslow.
She realized the necessity of
turning them from their gods before
they would venture to offend the
latter by believing in another. "Pele"
was their god of fire, supposed to be
living in the crater of a volcano. On
a day. of celebration the queen gathered
her subjects about her, preparatory
to an expedition. When they
reached the creator, supposed home
of "Pele," the queen allowed no offer j
ings to bo thrown in. To the terror |
of her subjects, she flung rocks into
the seething masses of lava. Every
one fled, expecting "Pole" to resent,
the insult by earthquake or eruption.
The fact that "Pele" made no response
proved thoroughly convincing
to the natives that they were in error.
Various communities worshipped
their favorite gods. Among the fishermen,
"Madalii," the "divine shark,"
was worshipped. At the time their
priests declared "Madalii" hungry
tliov wmul Mntiiw viHimcs witli ;i
rope, strangling them to death. The
victim's body was quartered and fed
to the sharks. Many times victims
were decoyed by means of moans and
calls for help.
Mercy Was Unknown.
On days proclaimed holy by the
priests the women were not allowed
to come within sight of the men. The
men went to the temple to devour
pigs. The priests were fed from the
hands of others. All parts of these
pigs had to bo eaten, as they feared
displeasing their gods if any parts
were discarded on these days. On
holy days absolute silence was demanded.
Dogs were gagged to keep
them from barking; otherwise they
were seized to sacrifice. Even bathing
was prohibited on these days.

Some of the ceremonies include sacrificing'

leaving- only the chiefs and priests.
In those days mercy was unknown to
the Hawaiian.?.
Hawaii's expenditures for perfecting
irrigation is estimated at $7 000,C00.
The extent of her prosperity and
cxoprt from the sugar industry is
amazing to those not informed. In
1917 the Hawaiian Islands'" export ol
sugar was valued at $03,000,000.
Honolulu's Achievements
The City of Honululu, its present
population 70,000, was the first city in
the world to install a telephone system.
The Hawaii:)n Islands were the
first place where wireless was evei
used commercially, being used to com
municate between the islands. Hono
lulu boasts of three of the largest radio
stations in the world.
One of the main attractions in this
city is the Bishop museum. In this
museum kept in a perfect state of
preservation is the royal robe of
King Kamehameha. This robe, a
solid mass of small vividly colored
feathers, is valued at $1,000,000,00.
Every nation of the Pacific maintains
a baseball team in Honolulu.
Many claim there was never a team
with a record to compare with that
made by the "All Chinese."
Honolulu might be termed a
"freak" city?a city filled with I
wealthy tourists, in a land of starlit
tropical nights?with absolutely r.o
night life. All the theaters are strictly
moving picture houses. Occasionally
the tourist swims in the even in o\
or goes out on the reefs torch light
fishing.
The Young H<<:el in Honolulu is
the largest and most fashionable
place of its kind in the city. John
Young, an English sailor, went to
the islands years ago in search of
freedom. lie b^ume the most intimate
personal companion of the
ruler. Years later his daughter,
Fanny, married a Hawaiian chief and i
their daughter, Emma Rooke, hecame
the wife of King Kamehameha
IV.
Once Depended on Dogs.
It has been said of those days that!
the existence of the Hawaiian king- j
dom depended on dogs. The Jlawaiians
seemed to have had more affec- j
tion for dogs than they did for each j
other. The owners were obliged to
secure a tag for each dog, costing j
them ten cents. For years the tax '
on dogs alone paid the salary of
their king, which was $22,500.
Queen Emma, their first "lady"'
queen, received $G,000 annually.
Many foreigners became Hawaiian
subjects to gain influence in Hawaiian
commercial dealing and mission-1
aries to insure the good faith of the!
natives. In the year 1870 one luin- j
clred foreigners became Hawaiian i
citizens. The Roman Catholics were i
entering the land too numerou>hrj
to please the king as his subjects1
claimed their liold on the islands was
in France's favor. All the priests I
were compelled to close up their
churches and leave.
The Royal Hawaiian court in these
days consisted principally of white
foreigners. On g'a'a days they
awaited their kinp; in the palace arrayed
in flashy royal uniforms. Justj
before the kinfv entered the royal !
mantle or "niamo," was placed over
his chair. This "niamo" was made
entirely of small yeilow feathers. It
hnd hppii I !ir> wnr r.lnrlr r?f Kino-.
Kamehameha I and had required the;
workmanship of nine generations of
chiefs. The feathers had to be taken
from the "mamo" bird, which i
was found in high altitudes. Each
bird could suppy only two feathers,
one from each wing.
Believed in Sorcery.
The superstitious Hawaiians were
firm believers in the services of sorcerers;
the power of the latter was
believed to be inherited. Before securing
the services of a sorcerer the!
natives offered besides pay in money,!
puaahia, a yellow pig: Moalava, a
white cook, and aways liquor. The
sorcerers, engaged ocoassionally in
lawsuits, were used most successfully
by victims of thieves. So superstitious
were these people that the
una) jjndtheir poWelte being: used'
against them usually caused stolen
goods to be returned.
Praying to death was the sorcerer's
most dreaded power. To terrify the
thief a fire was built and a limited
amount of fuel was allowed to replenish
it. While the fire blazed the
sorcerer entreated the gods to kill
the thief if he did not apcar before
the fire burned out. Usually the
thief would become so terror-stricken
that he would return the articles
stolen and beg forgiveness.
Two Souls to One ISody.
The natives believed the body encased
two souls, one went to its reward
or punishment: the other to
hover near friends and enemies.
When the child of a priest died, parents
who were devoted to their chil- i
dren kept their little ones out of
sight. They believed the wandering
soul of the chief's child would return
to take another away.
A king was known to lend one of
his horses to a white man the day
before a severe volcanic eruption.
The natives became very bitter towards
the king as they believed the
soul of a chief reposed in the animal's
body, and lending the horse to
a foreigner h;ll displeased the gods.
In Honolulu today may be seen an
old Hawaiian standing across the
street from the golden statue of
King KaiVichameha I. Every day he
is seen with his hat in hand, standing
stooped, waiting for the king to
return to life. It is generally believed
that he is insane, but is allowed
at large, becr.use he is harmless.
The Water Test.
The water test was another of the
sorcerer's tricks, which seldom failed I
to reveal the guilty p-irty. Tt was a
common occuran\ for ffuests to rob
each other while d in Vug at a
"Linn.'' The sorcercr would seat
the guest on the ground, encircling
a small poo', each guest hoMing bis i
fingers in the water. Behind each I
guest the "kahuna" entreated the
gods to reveal tbe thiol'. Believing i
his guilt already revealed to the sor- |
cerer the hands of the thief would i
invariably tremble, causing ripple." !
in the water.
While Hawaii was a kingdom aj
l*iw w;is passed permitting lepers to
live with their families. This law
was not consistent with the attitude
of the majority #" the llawaiians toward
their sick and afflicted. Cripples
were often driven from their
homes because of their helplessness, i
Work is the Hawaiian's greatest enemy,
as they are notoriously lazy.
The treatment of diseases were limited
to friction and pressure. Over i
the parts affected the sick had
twelve-pound stones placed and
rolled.
The Hawaiian chiefs were buried j
in a sitting posture with their hands
underneath their knees and heads
bowed down. Howling and moaning
for days was the demonstration of
grief. Rubbing noses was a sign
of svmpathv or affection.
Race Problem in Schools.
The mixture of nationalities in the
schools, both private and public,
cause many American mothers to i
teach their children at h,ome. The j
most expensive schools are not able !
to draw race distinction ? Chinese, j
Japanese, Portuguese, Philippinos,
llawaiians and Americans are in a
class room together. This is a deplorable
condition and not long ng?
American mothers tried to take
things in their own hands and establish
a white school. So far they
have failed, the dark races complaining
of a lack of democracy.
The weather bring practically the
same the year around and the temperature
of the water always ideal,
Hawaii has produced some of the
greatest swimmers on earth. Duke
Kahanamoku, a young- Hawaiian, is
today the champion swimmer of the |
world.
The Mecca of Invalids.
Tho Hawaiian Islands are considered
a rich man's ideal honej moon !
