these changed conditions those CON
scientious citizens who feared the
dilution of the franchise may cease
their opposition TO Hawaiian annex
alton. AS for those who we're
opposed to it on the ground OF de-
parture from our traditional policy
OF continental isolation, that policy
is dying, il not dead. This war has
dealt to it a mortal blow. 1t has
been supplanted by the new policy
of colonial expansion, the policy of
Imperialism. Even If it were ad-
visable, it would be useless to oppose
its coming, for it is already here
AS to those who have feared that
Hawaii might be erected into a
rotten borough State, possessing a
representative in Congress and two
in the United States Senate, they
may lay their fears aside. Hawaii
will never be State OF the Amer
lean Union. If we annex her now,
we will annex her under our own
conditions and on our own terms.
We will make her colony, terri
tory, dependency, a province, or
what we will. III we annex her we
will govern her as we choose, and il
she does not like annexation under
these conditions we will take her
anyway. because we are strong and
she is weak, and because we need
her.
II the conditions exist touching
Hawaii-and that they do can not
be denied in the light shed upon
the law by Judge Morrow's decision
how much the more do they exist
concerning such of SPANS colonies
as we may conquer. We can do with
them what we choose. We have no
obligations toward the jewellers in
those colonies other than those in
spired by justice, good morals, and
good sense. We may give to them
such measure of autonomy as we
may think desirable. Cuba, which
for generations has been brigands'
lair, we may leave under a military
government, and rule it by the
sword. To Porto Rico, which has
been fairly well-conducted colony,
we may leave some slight measure
of local government. In the Philip
pines we may treat the civilized
nations as civilized human beings
should be treated, and rule the
savage portions as savages should
be ruled.-S. r. Argonaut.

COFFEES

Some are cheap now. Cheap
cereal adulterated coffees are

little in sympathy.

Fine coffees are scarce and
