THE 81 CENT DOLL Z.

rnment to make a dollar out
If fifty cents. This is alisnlulely
correct, But what Of it2 Is it
such a monstrous tlling that tie

the silver dollar q whai it was
efure silver was demonetized? ?
fhe government NJ ade the sil-
yer dollar worth fly cents, now
let it make the fifty cents worth
a dollar. That is the exact
roposition and there Is no repu-

But it cannot. A little more than
100 wears ago the government Of

Of silver is worth little more

that since the resumption Of

No. 2 spring wheat sold in the
Chicago market at $1S6 per

Does that constitute any valid

interview with President Sanford b.
Dole of Hawaii. had by Miss Kate
Field. The interview Is elaborate. nll-
ing several columns and touching close
ly on the Hawaiian policy on interna-
tional questions. Although II does not
appear In Miss Fields letter. the talk
was had In the presence OF Dole's cab
met. the members of which subscribed
20 their chiefs opinions unreservedly.
Miss Field called his attention TO the
fact that his government had been said
TO be characterized by an insane desire
10 perpetuate himself In Office. Dole
said: THE fact that the government
Is working for annexation to the Uni
ted States Is a good denial OF that
charge. Annexation may deprive US. or
many Of US. Of Office. In the higher
Offices are men to whom II means per-
sonal sacrifice and business loss 20 dis
charge their duties. IL Is simply a
slander to say this desire for annexa-
tion Is simply a pretense- We are
working In good faith. and I believe
the people appreciate the fact AS TO
the form OF annexation that would best
meet our requirements. IL is difficult to
say. A territorial form OF government
unmodified from the form obtaining IN
the United States territories would be
scarcely suitable. Probably the best
course would be 20 gradually develop
from our present system. the federal
authorities OF course having from the
beginning Jurisdiction over our custom
houses. postoffices and federal courts.
Our own government should not be
limited by the United States the same
as a territory. A new system would
have 10 be invented 10 suit our condi-
tions. Much the same as Is the prac-
tice OF England In establishing a new
colony. There Is no set system Each
new colony Is organized as the neces-
sity OF the case demands"
In reply to a statement by Miss
Field that she had been told II the
United States did not annex the Ha-
waiian islands. they would be offered

icy Is annexation TO the United States"
