WHY THE FRANCHISES

Hawaii ?" This seems an unusual
question for an American citizen to
to ask, yet it is what some of them
are doing. The Yankee method OF
answering this is simply, Why
shouldn't every citizen be allowed
a vote ?"
When the AMERICAN flag went up
In this territory, the United States
assumed control over land whose
citizens, from the highest to the
lowest in the social scale, have a
better appreciation, a better knowl
edge of American principles, Am
erican laws and American civiliza
ton as a whole than any territory
ever taken into the Union. When
the seeds of constitutional govern.
ment were first planted here, they
were taken from the British and
American plants OF personal free
dom and equality. The whole social
and political system of Hawaii has
been built upon the modern basis
brought into being by what is now
known as the English speaking
brotherhood. Every native born re.
sident of the Hawaiian Islands has
grown up under what is generally
credited to be the beneGcent influ
ence of Anglo Saxon law and gos-
pei.
BY virtue of the adoption of the
American school system, Ha
waii can show a smaller
proportion of illiterates than
any territory over which the
American flag has been placed
either by conquest or purchase. The
native born citizens of Hawaii are
today as capable of self government
as the people of any State in the
American Union. Massachusetts
might object to this statement but
we ara willing to compare Hawai-
ian voters with the masses of
cultured Boston, and do not fear
that Hawaii's body polite will be
at a disadvantage by the COMPARE
son.
"Your Chinese and japanese" is
a common slur thrown at Hawaii.
In the matter of franchise, however,
these people cut comparatively lit
tie figure. Few japanese care to be-
come naturalized and the Chinese
are held off by American laws.
The people of the new territory |
do not ask for statehood, but they |
do ask and have right to
demand free voice for the citi-
zens of Hawaii in the future
local affairs of the territory. Any
attempt by the Commission or
later by Congress to place special
limitations upon the right of fran
chise, any attempt to draw race
lines in the question of citizenship,
any attempt to shut out or force
into the background those who
have been the sovereign people of
the Hawaiian nation will be con-
sidered, and Justly 30, as move
absolutely devoid of American
principle as it has hitherto been
voiced at home and abroad. Such
action should meet with the uni
versal condemnation Of every
American citizen who knows any.
thing of the social and political
conditions of this territory. The
people of the United States can
find no justifable argument for
any law which will shut out the
native citizens of Hawaii from
equality with members of the
American body polite of which
the flag makes them a part.

A SLIGHT MISTAKE.

A New jersey suburbanite tells
Hardware this one: There is an editor
in our little town who just for the pre-
sent wishes he were somewhere else.
Desiring to comp liment the school
teachers of the place, and extend the
circulation of his newspaperamong them,
he wrote an elaborate article, which he
headed "Pension Lot of Our School
Teachers. He then continued in an
eloquent strain to declare that "there
are about dozen of the best-bnown
teachers in our schools who, because of
their long service in the harness, should
be pensioned Immediately" Of course
the intelligent compositor got in his
work, and as the old man failed to read
his proof, he was Mortified to find his
paper declaring that there were lot Of
old school teachers in that town who
ought to be poisoned" Immediately
The editor informed me. with tears in
bis ewes, that this is one of those uu-.
pleasant episodes which occur to an
editor now and then.

When the rope was loosened, the

jacent millpond.

meath the water, while the terrified
inventor stood shrieking for assistance.

words were;
