Thed hope that Especial" govern
ment will be arranged for Hawaii, if
the treaty Of annexation by some uu-
forsseen agency should be passed by
the United States Senate. They do
not realize that the constitution of
the United States is concise plain
document the provisions OF which
cannot be changed at the sweet will
OF the Senate, the President or any
other body or man in the United
States. If Hawaii is annexed terri
torial government will be establish
cd. The commission provided for
in the treaty is simply an impossibi-
lity. The President or the Congress
has NO power to appoint commissions
to arrange for government for any
part OF the United States. Hawaii
must be admitted, if the Infamous
treaty of theft is ratified, under the
broad lines laid down in the United
States constitution, and then, where
will our "annexationists" be?

THEY ARE INsINoERE

If the good people of the United
States who listen to and re-echo the
shouting for annexation of the noisy
clique in Hawaii, represented by Mr..
Dole and his little coterie, believe
that the shouters are sincere, they
will find that they are greatly mis-
taken.

Oh no, they are certainly not sin
eere in their alleged effort Of cutting
their own official throats aud urging
step which necessarily will eli
inmate them from public life. They
like power too we'll to voluntarily
relinquish their grab on the public
Treasury and the patronage which
they command. The actions Of all
the so-called annexationists show
their insincerity and that they are
simply playing big game OF bluff
to create an artificial boom.

no room for chance. God must be to make a. certain point from which to take his reckonings. He is good, though his providences are sometimes dark and seemingly hard. yet the optimist says:
 Yet in the maddening maze of things,
 And tossed by storm and flood
 To one firm state my credit clings; l know that God Is good
 And he believes that this God Is working for the highest good of all his creatures and though he cannot under stand all His providenees he still searches diligently to learn the lesson l they teach. What are the lessons of this sad hour?
 This Is the price we pay for progress Life Is a struggle, attended by waste and destruction. A thousand blossoms fall for every apple that natures. The scientist discovers that progress means the survival Of the fittest. Civil liberty has been gained by the sacrifice of vast armies and the path of religious free dom is marked by the inquisition scourge, the rack and the stake, and happy it is that a. man can sometimes effect for in his death than in his life.
 "2-It teaches us that society is one body, one organism. When the sad news came people who, asking with tears in their eyes about their loved ones, learned that they were safe felt q wave of joy break over their hearts. but it was quickly followed by one of sorrow scarcely less for those who suf- fered. The body should be sensitive not only to the greatest suffering of it's members, but to the smallest as well. If we can learn that the interests of every man In this community are ours, then this calamity will come with sweet benediction.
 "3-It gives us a larger view of life. We are apt, in times of quiet, to settle down to the common things of life and not take In all it's possibilities. In the daytime we do not get the best view of the universe. The earth and sun are the only visible bodies and the cloud bedecked sky seems very near; but when the night comes how enlarged the scene! The moon courses around the earth These with the planets move around the sun and myriads of stars measure Infinite distance until they are lost in the milky way. And perchance comet will sweep through our little system and swing on in it's boundless orbit around the great capstan of the universe. So in the night of sorrow we see the limitless possibilities of life As we watch the soul spring through this earth-life out on Its eternal orbit then we realize that
 "'Not in utter nakedness and In en- tire Expenditures But trailing clouds of glory do we come.
 From God, who is our home" Rev. A. K Foster also spoke in fitting terms.
