Nellist CHARLES SUMNER DOLE, Attorney. Grandson of the first principal of Punahou Academy, Honolulu, and son of the first manager of the Makee Sugar Co. plantation at Kapaa, Kauai, Judge Charles S. Dole turned neither to education nor agriculture for his life’s work, but to the law, in which he has specialized in water rights and estates, and to journalism. Judge Dole’s collegiate education was obtained at Stanford University, from which he graduated in 1899, after which he studied law two years and passed the California Supreme Court bar examination in 1901. He returned to Honolulu immediately afterward and associated himself with Kinney, Ballou & McClanahan, leaving that firm three years later to engage in practice for himself in Honolulu until 1906 and in Lihue since 1907. He was appointed district magistrate in 1907 and occupied that bench until 1917 when, after the United States entered the World War, he resigned to enlist in the 3rd United States Engineers, which was stationed on Oahu until the armistice. He resumed practice in Lihue upon being honorably discharged from the army in 1919. Judge Dole also served as editor and manager of the “Garden Island,” Kauai’s newspaper, in 1909 and 1910. From 1907 to 1917 he was chairman of the tax appeal court for the fourth taxation district and was in charge of the federal census on Kauai in 1920. He drew a homestead in the Wailua section of that island in 1920, where he now makes his home. Judge Dole was born in Honolulu on Oct. 25, 1873, the son of George Hathaway and Clara Maria (Rowell) Dole, and a grandson of Daniel Dole, the first principal of Punahou. He is a member of Beta Theta Pi and Phi Delta Phi fraternities, a member of the Stanford Union and Stanford Alumni association, the Kauai Historical Society, the Bar Association of Hawaii and the National Geographic Society.
