Notes for Wallace Rider (Spouse 1)
• Graduated from the University of Maine in 1891
• Became a reported for the Bangor News and later moving to the Lewiston Sun, the Rockland Daily Star and the New York Commercial.
• He was an avid traveler where he found himself in Hawaii in 1894 and was persuaded to become the managing editor of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser, and then 4 years later became the manager of the Evening Bulliten which was later merged with the Honolulu Star.
• President and publisher of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin and would later become the Mayor of Honolulu.
• In 1915, he introduced Warren Harding as "the future President of the Unted States.” Harding replied that if Farrington's prediction came true, he would name Farrington as the governor of the Territory of Hawaii.139
• 6th Territorial Governor of Hawaii from 1921 to 1929 … he was chosen by President Warren Harding. When Hoover became President, Wallace asked to retire as Governor so he could return to his newspaper.
• While governor, he:
- Encouraged education and agricultural training
- Established the Territorial Budget of the Bureau
- Had a leading role in creation of the Hawaii National Park and the Territorial Retirement System
- He fostered Hawaii's Bill of Rights and Declaration of Rights
- Gave Hawaii federal lands for public education
- Ended discrimination against Chinese and Japanese citizens who had been unable to travel freely between Hawaii and the mainland
- Farrington advocated annexation of the Republic of Hawaii to the United States and envisioned expanded opportunities under statehood
- He promoted Hawaii as the hub of the Pacific.
- The College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts in Hawaii was created in Manoa Valley under his leadership. It eventually became the state's land grant university.
- Farrington strongly backed efforts to give native Hawaiians homesteads and perpetuate land grants.
- Among resolutions adopted in his memory when he died was one saying: "He was a stout staff in the hand of one walking upon a strange road. He was a friend of Hawaii and of all men of good will."
• Farrington was memorialized with the dedication of Wallace Rider Farrington High School in the historic Kalihi district of Honolulu. The school adopted The Governors as its nickname and mascot, in honor of the school's namesake.[2] Also named after him are Farrington Street in lower Manoa Valley, Farrington Highway which stretches from Pearl City to the leeward coast of Oahu, and Farrington Hall (demolished in the 1970s) at the University of Hawaii, Manoa where he served as chairman of the University of Hawaii Board of Regents from 1914 to 1920.
