THE UNITED STATES?
Under our Constitution fish cannot be
made of one citizen and flesh of an
other.
If Old Hypocrisy of Fourteenth street
does not know this he is disgracefully
ignorant of the fundamental principle
Of this free government Of the people
and not qualified to edit any kind Of an
American newspaper.
To return to the kind of citizens We
have gotten with Hawaii, the census
population of 1920 there are Hawa-
iians to the number of 31,019. OF Chi
nese there are 21,616, Japanese 24,407,
Portuguese 1871, thus making an ORR
entail population of 92,233.
There are in Hawaii only 3,0S6 Amer
leans. Of French, German, English
and Norwegian nationalities there are
about $4,000.
Seventy thousand pagans out
of total mongrel population of 1O9,-
900! That is the kind of citizenship we
have taken in with Hawaii!
That clause Of the annexation resolu-
lions excluding Chinese immigration
from Hawaii to the United States evil
IDENTIFY is unconstitutional since Hawaii
has been made a part of the United
States. 1t was evidently one of many
phantom tubs the annexation jobbers
threw to the opposition whale. Besides,

Court has decided that Chinese person
born in this country of parents of Chi
nese descent and subjects of the en-
peror of China, but domiciled residents
Of this country, is citizen of the Uni
ted States, and, also, indirectly, that the
Chinese exclusion acts so far as they
conflict with the Fourteenth Amend
ment to the Federal Constitution, are
null and void.
And with the annexation of Hawaii
we gain $1,000 Chinese. And there are
hosts more of them in the Philippines,
by the way, which islands the jobbers
and spectators are after next. Thus
do we at one and the same time, with
wonderful inconsistency, spurn the Chi
nese and seek them!
OF course, If the imperialists of the
Republican party had their way we
would make colony of Hawaii, as of
the possessions we have snatched from
Spain by force of arms-thus in the
case of the latter stepping into SPANS
shoes AS a colony or dependency we
would govern Hawaii and tax it for our
own benefit as the colonizing nations
of Europe govern their dependencies.
and this we need not say, would be
utterly reprgnant to our American ideas
and institutions. Moreover, Jefferson
said:

But the latter day annexationists-
the jobbers and the spectators who
control the present government at
Washington-and their tools, have long
since thrown overheard the wisdom and
teachings of Jefferson and our revolu-
tionary fathers. More than that, they
have thrown over, also, the Monroe
Doctrine, which has stood us in such
good stead against European aggres-
sion in the past. Certainly European
nations will no longer feel obligated
to refrain from interference in the af-
fairs of this hemisphere, nor can we
consistently ask them to, since we have
been first to violate the spirit of that
Doctrine by committing ourselves to the
policy of territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. es-
pecially territory so far away as Ha-
wall
Thus are the American people robbed
Of their chief safeguard, their honored
traditions over thrown and themselves
betrayed by the tools in high places of
the selfish and nsrcenary jobbers and
spectators who make merchandise of
patriotism and would sell their coun-
try's birthright for a mess of pottage.
