APlea For Social Justice

Henry Georges Social Problems.
 This. and this alcne, Is what I contend for-that our social institutions be con- formed to jusitios; to those natural and eternal principles of night that are so obvious that no. one can deny or dispute tthem-so obvIous that by a lawo the human mind even those who try to de- fend social injustice must invoke them This, and this alone, contend for-tha't he who makes should have; that he who savss should enjoy. ask i'm behalf of the poor nothlng whatever that properly be- longs to the nch. Instead of weaken ing and confusing the Hdea of property, I would surround it with stronger sanc- tgons. Instead of lessening the incent- i've to the production of wealth, I would make it more powerful by making the reward more certain.

could see an improvement. Her strength be-

When she had taken one box the pains In

pills and watched with delight the change for
the better that was being wrought daily.

THE HAWAIIAN JOB.

THE HAWAIIAN JOb.
The annexation Of Hawaii will soon
be before-the senate of the United
States congress for consideration.
Pending discussion on the floor. two
very timely articles appear in the
Forum magazine for December. One
of these is from the pen of Hon. Daniel
F. Agnew, Of Beaver, ex-chief Justice
Of the supreme court Of Pennsylvania,
upon the "Unconstitutionality Of tine
Hawaiian Treaty." the other Is a dis
cusslon Of "The Policy Of Annexation
for America" by Ri. Hon. James
Bryce.
Judge Agnew contends that there
Is no express power in the constitution
to acquire and incorporate a foreign
territory and people to the Union, and
that consent Of the senate alone will
not make such an act legal. An
amendment to the constitution re-
quires o vote of two-thirds Of both
houses Of congress, and Of three
fourths of all the states. Precedent is
not law, and the so-called presidents
afforded by the purchases OF Florida,
Louisiana and Alaska are not in point
IN connection With the proposed an
nexation Of q distant island in the
Pacific. Judge Agnew also argues
tersely against the policy of admitting
the incongruous population OF Hawaii,
e~ndangering the Monroe doctrine, be-
u 1--WE cannot acquire distant ocean
lands and yet debar Europe from
American possessions; )" or entering
upon the task of keeping q part of the
in subjection by force Of
arms.
MI. Bryce argues the case from the
Of view that "American i%nstitu-
tions are quito unsuited to the govern
ment of dependencies, !" and argues it
we'll. He points out that the principles
Of equality and self. government do not
adapt themselves to populations of
which the "elements r utterly un-
equal and jissimilar, as is the case in
Hawaii, nor to cases where the AmorI-
can element ought not to be expected
to forcgo its right of self-government,
but where, nevertheless, the over
majority OF the inhabitants,
whether negroes or Asiatics, ought not
be trusted to govern themselves,
much less their white neighbours
This is q strong presentation Of the
impolicy Of absorbing homogeneous
elements Of population by wholesale.
when the country is already confronted
BY the necessity for limiting the stream
raw material for citizenship that
brings itself to The present territory of
he United States. But Mr.. Bryce
an even stronger point, In an
direction, in the following
anguage:
Thu United States has already a great
md splendid mission In building up be-
ween the oceans a free, happy and pros
,erous nation of 200, 0oo, 900 of people. And
me Of the noblest parts Of her mission in
he world has been to show to the older
and states an example OF Austen
ION from the quarrsls aud wars and con-
that make mp so large and so La
nsntabls q part of the annals Of Europe. ;
