NO DEAD ISSUE.

Those who are looking upon Annex
alton being dead issue, are putting
their money upon a very frail leaf in
deed. The annexation of the Hawaii
an Islands is no child's question. For
ourselves, here. it is vital, but we are
practically nothing in the balance.
The statesmen of the United States
have taken up the annexation of the
Islands, not from any sentimental
idea, not from any idea of helping the
community here, though these influ-
ences have Il weight with some, but
purely with the idea that the anneNa-
ton of the Islands will be of advant-
age to the United States of America.
Now when men make up their
minds that a certain policy is for the
good of their country, they are going
to strain every nerve to carry that pol
icy through, and the clamor of Those
who meet them, is not going to have
any effect upon their nerves. They
have an objective point and they are
going to get there, no matter what
may be in the way They may eventu-
ally be beaten, but the chances are all
in their favor.
The Executive of the United States
is pledged heart and soul to anneNa-
ton. The defeat of the Annexation
measure means defeat of the ENecu-
tive policy, and losing of prestige all
along the line. All news that has up
TO the present been received says moth
ing of what the moves of the EXecu-
tive will be. Our news of the strug
gle comes mainly from the opposition
which is firing off its guns in great
shape, and is quite ready to proclaim
4 victory before the smoke OF even the
skirmsh line has been blown away.
That the struggle will he a close
one all know well. There is never
anything won in this world without a
close struggle. 1t is as hard and per-
what is best for it, as it is to convince
headstrong man what is best for
him
In the Hawaiian Islands the Unit
ed States has an opportunity of the
moment, which is seldom offered to a
nation on such cheap terms. Standing
the future stage of the world. the OPP
portunity lies before her of occupying
the commanding position. Her states
men in a large number of cases fully
realise the situation, and they are not
going to let so great an opportunity
slip through their fingers.
The annexation of the Hawaii Is
lands to the United States, far from
being dead issue, is entering upon
its most interesting and most active
stage. Situated as we are, with no
cable communication we cannot watch
the battle as it goes on, we can only
hear of results, and of these some time
after the conflict. But this political
struggle is by no means the first
where the weak-kneed ran away and
tried to bury themselves among the
rabble of their opponents. Those who
sit on two stools invariably come to
the ground, and carrying water on
both shoulders invariably results in
getting a cold bath. The cause of an
neXaton is sound, will be soundly
fought, and will make IA greater dis
play than either its open foes or its
covert enemies.

The quality of backbone is one of
the most valuable that any man in
public life should possess. There is a
vast amount of difference between
backbone and obstinacy. The latter is
the attribute of narrow minds, and
was particularly well developed in the
small brain of George III. Backbone
means the carrying out of a policy,
even when ones own feelings may be
for a moment enlisted on the other
side. 1t is the square thinking out,
calmly. of a line of conduct, taken up
from policy, and not from prejudice,
and the carrying out of that determi-
nation toits logical end, not dipping the
feet in the edge of the stream, but
boldly plunging in and reaching the
further shore with strong strokes.
To those who show backbone there
will always be a following, to those
who show a vacillating policy, there
will be no following, and those who
have led them from the straight
course, will only laugh at them for
their weakness. The Star has had to
urge the necessity of backbone on
several occasions: the time is now at
hand for showing that attribute

Washington, Dec. I6,-Mr. Hans
brough called at the war department
yesterday and inquired as to the
probabilities Of the North Dakota
volunteers being ordered home from
Manila. He was told that they
would possibly be included in those
to come home, but that they would
not leave. Manila until after the
troops that preceded them to the
Philippines. Mr.. Haasbroush found
that there were $500 volunteers al
Manila before the North Dakota
troops arrived; that the total number
of men in the six regiments Of reg
lars will exceed that number; so the
North Dakota men will be included
in the first order.
Assistant Secretary Meikejohn,
assured Congressman Fletcher that
the Thirteenth Minnesota would be
among the first lot OF volunteers to
sail from Manila for home. The
passage will consume thirty-fve
days and the troops will reach the
United States about March IS. The
troops will be returned via Sal
Francisco, as it is not deemed ex-
pedient for many reasons to take the

yyOnan's Cruel Vanity.

'As there is no argument on the
side of bird killing for decorative pur-
poses, so there is no excuse for its en-
couragement by even the most friv-
olous of women" the st. Paul Pioneer
Press says. "rhey have had pre-
sented to them over and over and in
every form of appeal the cruelty of the
custom as well as its reckless abuse OF
the gifts of nature, for it is asserted
on good authority that the destruction
of the field and forest birds has an ap-
preciable effect on agriculture. Yet
the killing goes on, apparently with
no diminution. Europe uses 800.
900, 900 of songbirds in millinery an
nually. One Chicago firm buys and
sells every year so, 900 birds and 800,
900 wings. The pitiful story of the
egret, whose ravished plumes wave
from the hats of thousands of wealthy
women and are shown every day in
our own shop windows, has been told
so many times that it would seem as
though the woman who persists in
wearing them must feel like a mur-
deress every time she does SO.
''We do not need societies, pledges,
orations, or tracts on this subject. The
matter is one which rests on purely
commercial basis. The leaders OF

A pair of Irish wolf-hounds, in-
ported recently, will receive syste-
matte training on a treadmill and in
other ways in Louisville, and in the
spring will be furnished an oppor-
tunity to show their ability in killing
the American wolf. The outcome Of
the experiment is said to be eagerly
awaited by the cattlemen in the far
West who suffer much loss through
depredations of wolves. Russian wolf
hounds and American deer hounds
have been tried in vain. One of the
great difficulties in the way of killing
the American wolf is the peculiar
thickness Of the animals neck and the
large quantity of matted hair thereon.

There is grave reason to doubt
whether the internal dissent and dis
satisfaction in the German empire is
entirely or chiefly political. 1t is
rather to be found in the increasing
poverty of large numbers of the peo-
pie. Statistics taken from the tax re-
turns of Prussia reveal an appalling
condition of poverty in many sections.
Although the limit of taxation is
drawn at the low income of 1926, but
SAG per cent. of the population of the
kingdom pay an income tax. That is
more than ninety-one out of every
hundred must make ends meet in
some way on less than 1926 year.
