Gutter Journalism Is destructive to wo-

modern wildcat Journalism the woman re-
porter lasts about four years. She brings
her education. her personal attractions.
her youth, her Illusions, her energy, her
ambition, and her enthusiasm TO the en-
counter, and the first year she rises rap
idly. The second and third year che en-
Joys the zenith of her popularity; with
the fourth year she begins the descent,
fingers about the horizon for time. and
then she disappears from view. There IS
no vocation into which women have enter
ed where disillusons materialize so rap
idly as they do in journalism.

PITH OF THE ANNEXATION TREATY,
Dole Makes a Ouit-C Claim Deed of the Real
Estate to Uncle Sam.

Dole Makes 0uit-Claim Deed of the Real
Estate to Uncle Sam.
The treaty proved to be simple docu.
ment of six articles, based in its essential
details upon the treaty negotiated by
Hon. John w. Foster during the ad-
miristration of President Harrison. The
islands are ceded practically without
conditions, leaving the United States
to pursue it's own course with reference
to their management. The first article
reads as follows: THE government Of
the Hawaiian islands hereby cedes. from
the date Of the exchange of the ratifica-
tions of this treaty, absolutely and with
out reserve to the United States for
ever, all rights Of sovereignty Of what
soever kind in and over the Hawaiian
islands and their dependencies, renounc-
ing in favor of the United States every
sovereign right of which, as an inde-
pendent nation, it is now possessed: and
henceforth said Hawaiian islands shall
become and be an integral part Of the
territory Of the United States.'
The Hawaiian government cedes to
the United States the absolute owner
ship Of all the public lands, public build
tngs. ports, harbors, Notifications, mill.
terry and naval equipments and all 9th
err government property. It is specifical-
ly provided, however, that the existing
land laws of the United States shall not
apply to the public lands Of Hawaii,
but that special laws shall be made
fl ON time to time for their disposition,
the proceeds Of any sales Of these lands
to be applied to educational purposes
in the islands. The islands are for the
present to constitute a territory of the
United States, their local laws remaining
in force until new ones are enacted. 4
LEGAL legislature is provided for, but the
veto power is vested entirely in the pres
ident of the United States.
A commission Of five persons con-
sisting Of three Americans and two"Ha.
waiians." to be nominated by the pres
ident and confirmed by the senate, il
provided for the purpose Of formulat-
ing the mode Of government for the
islands. The treaties OF. the United
States with other countries are sub
stituted for the treaties Of Hawaii with
the same countries in controlling the in
ternational relations Of the islands.
Further immigration Of Chinese labor
ers to the islands is prohibited, and
the laws restricting Chinese immigra.
tion to the United States are made to
apply to the prevention Of Chinese re-
moving from Hawaii to this country.
This country agrees to assume the debt
Of the island republic to the extent Of
a. 900 900.
