English school books of history show
| ing how the American Revolution is
taught in English schools. would seem
to prove that the English have buried
the feeling aroused by the wars with
America more completely than the Am
ericans have done. In English schools
they are teaching: Time has long ago
healed the wound caused by the origi-
nal quarrel of the mother country and
the daughter colonies; and if there
have sometimes been suspicious and
misunderstanding engendered be-
tween England and the Great Republic
by unwise utterances or by unjust
dealings of individuals, or of sections,
on both sides, the sound sense, the
cordial feeling, the spirit of kinship,
and the community of speech, of inter-
ests and of sympathies entertained by
the great mass of both peoples have
prevented threatened collision and
strife. For England and America to
go to war would be calamity to the
entire race. 1t would put back the
hand of progress and arrest the course
of civilization, commerce, philanthro
py and religion throughout the world.
In American schools only too often
is not the teaching of American his
tory made to awaken in the minds of
the pupils patriotism made up more
largely of hatred of England than it is
of rational knowledge of the duties
and privileges of American citizen
ship? Impressions thus made in early
youth are carried through life, and as
teachers we should beware lest in a
national crisis, when some demagogue
desiring to stir the popular heart in his
own favor. resorts to the familiar po-
litical device of twisting the tail of
the British lion," this mistaken pa
triotism rushes at once to his support. |
Suspicion and distrust of our mother
country form too often determining
factor in political action, and elections
are turned, party policies developed |
and measures passed ard obstructed in |
our legislative bodies under the i'm
preston that what is of any advantage |
to Great Britain is of necessity bad |
policy for our own country How far
are the teachers of American history |
in our schools responsible for this con-
dition of popular feelinL?

Stephen H. Phillips died this morning,
aged "A years, with hundred yards
of his birthplace.
He prepared for college under Sal

ward in 1912. and studied law in the
Dane School the three following years,
having among his associates the late
ex-President Hayes, Chief Justice Lee
of the Sandwich Islands and many 9TH

to the bar in 1876, and in 1851 was at
torney for Essex. In 1857 he was elect

TO ANNEX HAWAII.
The Los Angeles journal Favor
the Plan.

The Los Angeles Journal Favors
the Plan.
Referring to the question of the Unit
ed States annexing the Hawaiian Isl
ands, the Los Angeles Journal re-
marks:
Now the question comes naturally.
Since the United States will continue
to require the Hawaiian sugar crop
our chief staple products it not to
her interest to hold this country in the
most intimate relations possible? Moth
ing short of prohibitive measures of
protection to the domestic product will
prevent the Hawaiian crop from being
sold in the American market. But with
out any mutual status being main
tanned between the two countries, Ha-
waii will not be bound to buy Ameri
can products with the proceeds of our
sugar. She may obtain an abundant
revenue from taxing American goods
If she is not treated by the United
States as an offshoot and outpost of
American civilization, as she undoubt-
edly is in fact, Hawaii will have to
seek affiliations elsewhere. There is
really no reason to despair that Hawaii
can find another protecting arm if that
of Uncle Sam should, unfortunately,
be. withdrawn. Yet it is with no want
of self-respect that every thoughtful
Hawaiian must admit that their loved
country's repulsion by that great ma
ton, which is its veritable mother
country, would cause him violent
heart wrench. Still, it is doubtful if
the repelling power would not be the
greater loser, comparatively, from the
enforcement of relations than the fee
bic folk repelled A neighboring coun-
try to the United States, as this is,
buying five or six million dollars worth
of American merchandise every year,
is scarcely to be lightly spurned in its
overtures for closer relations by the
thoughtful American statesmen 1t is
not only what appears in the tables of
imports TO this country, however, that
makes the Hawaiian connection valu-
able to the United States, and empha-
sizes the argument for more intimate
bonds, and these permanent. There is
not a section of Americas foreign COM
merce that reflects so much glory on
the star spangled banner as that of the
Hawaiian trade. 1t represents millions
of dollars of investment in the mercan-
tile marine of the nation, and many
hundreds of thousands of annual ex-
penditure by that fleet in American
ports.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April O.
A. F. Judd, Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court of the Republic of Ha-
waii, is at the Occidental with his
wife, en- route TO the Eastern States on
a visit. Justice Judd has been a mem
Der of the Hawaiian Supreme Court
for % years. and has been Chief JUS
tice since 1881 He is a graduate of
Yale College. Two of his sons will
graduate from the same institution
next June. This is the first time in II
years that he has visited San Francis
co, and it is II years since he has been
in the Eastern States. He has been
married 25 years, and he said last
night that his wife and himself were
celebrating the silver anniversary of
their wedding by their present trip to
the United States. In the course of an
interview he said:
Il do not think we will have any
trouble with the Japanese Govern
ment, because Hawaii recently sent
home 400 japanese. They were refused
landing because they did not comply
with our immigration laws, which are
close copy of those of the United
States, prohibiting paupers. insane,
diseased and other undesirable people
from landing In enforcing our immi-
grafton laws we have therefore the
light and wisdom of the decisions of
the United States Supreme Court on
the American immigration laws to fol-
low. We followed those decisions in
refusing writs of habeas corpus to the
Japanese, who were refused landing.
THE annexation spirit at the Islands
is very strong. In fact, it is generally
and strongly desired that the Islands
may soon become part of the United
States. Times are very good with us.
The sugar crop was large and prices
good Coffee viii soon be raised ex-
tensively on the Islands. and next to
sugar, will be our chief industry.
Those interested in its cultivation have
succeeded in propagating a lady bug
that wages successful war on the in
sect blight that injuriously affects cof-
fee growing On this account the pros
poets of the industry are flattering." n
