Geography and atlas as good as any OF

we use for map drawing today. neatly

or Hawaii, Diseases the Annexation
Questionable Deal with England.
CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-1n the Times
Herald of tomorrow win be printed an
Interview with President Sanford r..
Dole, OF Hawaii, had by Miss Kate
Field. The interview is elaborate, flll-
Ing several columns, and touching
closely on the Hawaiian policy and In
tcrnatlonal questions. Although II does
not appear In Miss Fields letter. the
talk whs had in the presence Of Mr.
Dole's cabinet. the members OF which
subscribed TO their chiefs opinions un-
reservedly. Miss Field called his at
tention TO the fact that his govern
ment had been said to be characterized
by an insane desire to perpetuate Itself
In ofIlce. Mr.. Dole said:
1.-THE fact that the government Is
working for annexation TO the United
States Is a good denial OF that charge.
Annexation may deprive us. or some OF
us, Of Office In the higher Offices are
men 10 whom II means per5onal sacri-
fee and business loss to discharge their
duties. II Is simply SlRnder to say
this desire for annexation is simply o
pretense. We are working IN good
faith and believe the people appreck
ate the fact. As to the form OF annexR-
tion that would best meet our require
ments, II Is difficult TO say. a terrific.
rial form OF government upmodifed
from the form obtaining in the United
States territories would scarcely be
suitable. Probably the best course
would be TO gradually develop from
our present system. the federal authors
ties, OF course. having from the begin
ming Jurisdiction over custom houses,
posofflces and federal courts. Our own
government should not be limited by
the United States law concerning ter
ritorIes. A new system would have to
be invented TO suit our conditions.
much the same as is the practice Of
England In establishing a new colony.
There IL no set system. Each new coll
ony is organized as the necessity OF
the case demands"
In reply TO statement by Miss Field
that Bhe had been told II the United
ethtcS did not annex the Hawaiian
islands they would be offered TO Eng
land, Mfr. Dole said:
"our sole policy Is annexation 10 the
United States"
Other parts OF the interview relate 10
the domestic, political and material NJ.
fairs OF the Islands, Profit sharing IL
taking the place OF contract labor, and
other business and social improvements
have been established.
