The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-06-14

neNationists in Great Britain, Canada
and the Southern Colonies.
This journal has always pointed out
that with regard to annexation to the
United States, now is the time. Ne
glect the opportunity now, and vary
ing interests will spring up and in
stead of carrying the islands desires
towards the United States carry them
elsewhere. just as there is tide in
the affairs of the individual man. so
is there tide in the affairs of ma
tons. At the present time the oppor-
tunity offers for the United States to
obtain easily and without effort the
most commanding position in the
North Pacific Ocean. Let that oppor-
tunity slip and it may cost years of
trouble and quantities of blood and
treasure to obtain what she will some
day in the future, regard as indis-
pensable to- her commercial progress
and to her political greatness.

SECRET POLICE.

During the last week i'm May most
sensational trial was going on in Ber-
lin. 1t was that of Won Tahsch. chief
of the secret political police. The
trial. as far as it had gone when the
Belgic left, had produced some start
ling revelations of the methods in use
Gals. 1t looks very much as if the
secret political police were. one and
all, rogues who. starting out to de-
ceive others. succeeded in even being
themselves deceived. The minor wit
nesses in the trial, many of whom bear
honorable names that have come down
to them unsullied through generations
are falling over one another to prove
that they are liars. but usually that
they concocted their falsehoods, not
for their own advantage. but at the
instigation of and for the advantage
of Won Tausch.
This is terrible commentary upon
the secret police system as obtains
in Europe. Political spies are one of
the curses of despotic government An
organized system such as obtained
in France under the Empire and OBJ
tains today in Germany and Russia
simply breeds a set of rascals and low
ers the moral standard of those who
use them. It is case of the impos-
sibility of touching pitch and not
getting defiled. One would be apt to
think that the secret political police
of Germany will come to an end. but
there is very little likelihood of that.

When things are going smoothly
and there is no discomfort, when the
mass of the people are earning good
wages and they do not feel the pinch
of distress, they trouble themselves
very little about politics. This is the
state of the country at the present
time. Work is plentiful, wages are
good; the country is NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
prosperous than it has been for wears
past. The necessity of qualifying to
vote does not force itself upon people.
If the taxes were burdensome men
would quickly qualify. But they are
not. 1t is the duty, however. of every
voter to qualify and they should wake
up to the responsibilities of their posi-
ton. There is fortnight vet before
the Registration Board closes its sit
toings, so there is ample time. If the
sittings were held in a more conven-
lent place than the Government build
ings, there would be a very much larg-
err number who would register. The
distance from the business center is
considerable, and people keep putting
it off from day to day. The trouble
is that what is put off from day to day
never gets done at all. The time slips
by, and before one realizes it is gone.
1t is the plain duty of every voter
to register, duty he owes to himself
and to his country. If, during the
next two years legislation goes in a
way that does not suit him, he will
only have himself to blame. Every
one is directly interested in the acts
of the coming Legislature, and every
one who has the right should prepare
himself for influencing that Legisla-
ture at the polls.
