NOT IDENTIFIED"

The memorial of the A. L. P. to the
Commissioners asking that the first
Governor TO be appointed to admins
ter our home affairs shall be one mot
identified with local politics in the
past" is one Of extraordinary child
like simplicity.
The request, on precisely the same
principle, might be extended to the
appointments for every office in the
territory. This policy, if adopted
would be viewed with cordial satisfac-
ton by several thousand persons on
the Mainland who have standing offers
in Washington, of their services for
the good of the country. 1t would be
strange, and indeed rather comical
reading, if either or both of the great
political parties should put in their
platforms: mo man shall be nominal
ed for President who has been identi-
fed with the local politics of any part
of the United States" Probably the
climate demands new and rare political
methods here.
But the suggestion is very signif-
cant, at this time when Mr.. Dole's ag-
gravating sins are keenIy felt by his
late supporters. 1t reminds one Of the
small boy sitting in the kitchen with
his grand mother and the cat, while
he kept his eye on a pot of jam stand
ing on tie shelf Il wish somebody
would get out Of this ROOM he whis-
pered to himself, and [ don't mean
me, and l don't mean the cat either"
If this novel request to the Presi-
dent, is accompanied by a confidential
statement, under seal, that it is done
in order to get rid of one if not all of
the members of the wicked family COM
pact, it would create some confusion,
if the President should quietly pull out
of a pigeon hole, the platform of the
A u. p. and read:
"(2) We commend the efficient
courageous and honorable conduct of
affairs by the Government of the Re
public of Hawaii
The delegate presenting the memo
rial might justly say: ALAS! Mr..
President, it was our painful duty in
composing that document to play to
the galleries. We are now ready for
business" And the President would
turn to the east window of the White
House, gaze upon the softly flowing
Potomac, and whisper to his private
what a precocious child
that Hawaii is-cut his eye teeth in
less than two months!"

Several distinct bodies of political
thinkers" and political thinkers, seem
to be in acute distress over the failure
OF the Cabinet to advocate before the
Commissioners, some special form of
territorial government. There is also,
further acute distress because the Cab
met has not called upon it's late sup
pOrters to give their opinions in some
authoritative way before the Commits
'siOners.
The late supporters" do not realize
that these Islands now constitute a
territory, subject to the supreme con-
troll of Congress and the President;
that every member of the Cabinet, as
well as all other persons in Office, are
no longer representatives of the Ha-
waiian Republic, but hold office under
commissions from President McHin-
ley; that in accepting these commits
sions those who hold them cease to
hold direct allegiance to the people of
Hawaii, but hold unreserved allegiance
to the Congress and the President who
appointed them. Under their commits
sions they simply execute the laws of
the late Republic, nOminally existing
now in form, until Congress and the
President take further action. This,
we believe, is the legal situation. 1t is
anomalous, and in some respects I'M
precedented. But Congress has created
it, and the President acts upon it.
Now if Federal appointees, subject to
removal at any moment, in spite of
any existing Hawaiian law, engage in
the business of instructing the Com
mission appointed by Congress to draft
laws, as to what should or should not
be done, they lay themselves open to
grave censure by the President. More
over, the President and the Senate, in
placing Mr.. Dole on the Commission,
have entirely cut off the Cabinet, as a
unit from engaging in any political
discussion, excepting so far as they are
invited to engage in it by the Commits
sioners.
There is also an outstanding rule Of
the Government in Washington the
language of which we are not able at
the present moment to give, forbid
ding Government appointees from en-
gaging in active political business.
Under it several busy officials, who
have undertaken to run things" have
been removed.
The theory of representative Gov
eminent on the Mainland is that the
parties and the people have the larg
est liberty, and are abundantly able
to make known their wants without
running up to the office holders and
asking them what should or should
not be done
If the late supporters of the Govern
ment, or any body of citizens, are such
political imbeciles that they cannot, as
democratic "sovereigns," tell the Com
missioners what they want, it does not
show any hopeful capacity for seIf-gov-
eminent.
When the Republic ended, and an es-
sentialIy territorial form of govern
ment began, through President Nc
Kinley's appointments, and his as
sumption of supreme control, it would
have been perfectly natural, and log
zeal for the people here to have met
in conventions, and declared the pop
ular opinions. The new departure
would suggest such a course.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-09-24

What the Commissioners desired, as
a basis for drafting laws, was knowl-
edge of facts, the clear and accurate
facts underlying our social organiza-
ton. AS to mere opinions" they
knew, as everyone knows, that opin-
ions are not always as instructive as
facts.
For instance the A. U. p. has recon-
mended a liberal franchise" What
is a liberal franchise? 1t is an indef-
mite term quite equivalent to measur-
ing an article by saying it should be
las long as a piece of string" 1t is
like the straddIing political declara-
ton, that the ratio of gold to silver
should be properly adjusted" 1t is
like the dominie's prayer: I'VE be-
seech Thee for rain, Oh, Lord, but
leave it to Thee to fix the amount"
If some clear-headed Senator, in any
debate on the enactment of laws for
this territory, asks Commissioners
Morgan or CullOm what citizens in Ha-
wall mean by liberal suffrage" the
reply would obviously be that it was
put forward as a non-committal phrase,
of the india rubber pattern, that could
be extended or contracted at will.
On the whole, it may be expected
that President Mckinley will thor
oughly approve of the action of his
subordinates here, in minding their
own official business, but holding
themselves in readiness always to
promptly furnish the Congressional
Commission any information or opin-
ions needed in making up their report.
