CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION
GOOD SUGGESTION FOR ANNEXA
TION CLUB TO CONSIDER.
Offer Prize for Best Arguments in
Favor of the Cause-Get Best
Reasons from Best Thinkers.

Editor Star:-The campaign for the
the United States, which has been so
auspiciously started, is now becoming
one of education, pure and simple.
The kind of politics which the agita-
ton engenders is something so novel
in this land of boodless strife that it
affords food for new ideas and a wider
scope of study than has ever been de-
voted to any other public topic.
The party called anneXationists are
solid for the course, and are slowly
but surely propagating their theories
among those around them who are
disposed to be contraryminded. The
other day, while conversing with a
gentleman who maintained that the
islands would never be annexed "be-
cause the United States did nol want
them" l was led to formulate a plan
for getting the best reasons from the
best thinkers for annexation. My in
tolerant acquaintance could advance
no plea why he had taken his stand,
and he was obstinately deaf to my
reasoning.
My idea is to get from the people
of these islands ten valid reasons why
the country would be benefited by
political union with the United States,
and also like amount of argument
/ i,,1y
it would not be out of place for the
Annexation Club to offer prize to the
one who can best advocate annexation,
each contestant to submit ten reasons,
of not more than fifty words each.
Give the public a month to investigate
both the Hawaiian and American in
terests, and at the end of that period
/ believe there would be evolved some
interesting reading matter concerning
the topic topmost.
There are many enthusiastic annex
idea over a column, and in Difference
to the tastes of the public, which will
more readily read concise statements
/ have suggested limit of fifty words
per argument 1t is safe to assume
that the highest priced correspondence
in this matter-coming as it must
from our and an American point of
view-will be worth disseminating
across the sea as campaign literature

MONEY FOR STREET CLEANING.
Sept. MacKeuzie Says That $4,000
More Is Needed.

Superintendent of Street Cleaning Mac
Kenzie yesterday submitted to the Com
rnissioners an addition TO his annual re-
port, which appeared In yesterday MORN
ing's Times, in which he asks for an ad-
ditional appropriation Of $4,000, neces-
sary he thinks, to keep the city's streets
properly cleaned. He says:
..In connection with the foregoing re
port / respectfully submit the following
Tor the consideration OF the Commissioners
and such action as they may deem proper.
III my opinion Ii is iniperatiYely necessary
that Congress should Increase the appro-
priation for sprinkling sweeping and clean
ing the streets and avenues, etc. for the
present fiscal year. This is made neces
sary by the increased price for machine
sweeping and the Inauguration OF the
hand cleaning method in parts of the
CITY, The action of the Commissioners In
this direction has met with the unanimous
approval of the press and people, and there
is no disputing the fact, successfully, that
the streets which are cleaned by hand
are much better cleaned than they have
ever been before.
'.In many of the cities of the country
the hand system has been introduced, to
cases commended itself to the public.
In New York the entire city is being hand
cleaned daily, and with the most gratifying
results, the death rate has been reduced
materially, and the city. from being almost
one of the dirtiest in the world has be-
come one of the cleanest and heal.hiest
The increase in he number of men taken
from the ranks of the unemployed and put
to work IS another subject for congratu-
l3tion. ! am of the opinion that the
| amount required to continue the work on
the present scale for the entire year will
require about $4,000 additional to the
| present approprIa tien.''
If the appropriation asked for should be
granted it would mean that Mr.. Daggett,
| who holds the contract for street sweep
! ing, Will be authorized to extend the terri
| tory now covered by his men and receive
pay for the extra work at the agreed rate
