A WEAK ARGUMENT AGAINST
ANNEXATION.

Among all the reasons given for opposing
the annexation of Hawaii none is more I'M
reasonable and short-sighted than that
which relates to the character of the native
portion of the population. If all were true
that is said regarding their ignorance and
unfitness for American citizenship, and if
they were all lepers instead of but COM
paratively a few, that would still be an I'M
worthy argument to put against the
weighty ones in favor of annexation. Great
questions like this should be considered in
the light of the distant future instead Of
the present The question is not so much
what the population of Hawaii is now as
what it may be and probably would be a
hundred or several hundred years hence, if
the islands were annexed to the United
States. The argument based on population
would have been equally good against the
acquisition of the Louisiana territory, of
Arizona and New Mexico, of Oregon and
other parts of the United States. When
these territories were acquired their popu-
lation consisted chiefly of savages and
half-breeds, but in every instance these
populations have given wCy and disap-
peared before the advancing tide of ag-
pie have been able to absorb, digest and as
simulate every other population that has
stood in their way, and who can doubt that
they would do the same with the native
population of Hawaii? The Hawaiians are a
dying race at best and destined to speedy
extinction or absorption by some more ag-
gressive one If the islands were annexed
to the United States the natives would dis
appear before the influx of American immi-
grafton like chaff before the wind, and in
side of fifty years there would not be a
trace of them left 1t is not necessary to
detail the processes by which this would
be done. 1t would be in accordance with
the law of evolution which insures the sur
vival of the fttAt If Hawaii were an
nexed the year 1000, A. d., would see it
peopled by as homogeneous and thoroughly
American a. population as Indiana is now.
And what is a hundred years in the life of
a nation or the development of plans for
securing American supremacy in the Pa
cific ocean?
1t should be remembered, further, that
annexation does not necessarily imply
clothing the natives of Hawaii at once with
the rights and powers of citizens. Nothing
of the kind is proposed. The islands would
doubtless be held in territorial condition
for a long time. 1t has been nearly fifty
years since we acquired Arizona and New
Mexico, and they are still territories and
likely to remain so for some time to come
It would be just as easy to hold Hawaii in
a state of long territorial tutelage, and
probably before the middle of the twentieth
century it would be as thoroughly Ameri-
canized as Arizona is now. There is moth
ing in the native population argument as a
reason against annexation.

simply permitted its editorial writer to tell
why he and many others are weary of Mr.

Mr.. Bryan is devoted to the ratio of 16 to
for coinage, which the editor declares is
not bimetallism. but silver monometallism
1t is because Mr.. Bryan stands for 16 to

the explanation does not touch that i'm

and to ride richly caparisoned horses with

that the Hawaiian kings loved display, and

ton of the miscries and mysteries that
confront the average housekeeper in the
daily maintenance of a simple but com.
Portable existence ( + her family. AS for
herself, an existence at all seems a
struggle which at times she would glad
ly give over. One might define a hero
inc as the average American woman
who does her own housekeeping, But
some hint of the unnatural and unhappy
state of affairs existing at present may
be deduced from the consideration of
two economic facts.
First, woman is by nature a home
founder and a homemakor. This is net
intended as an assertion Of personal be-
lief, but as a statement of scientific fact.
1t was wOman-nOt man-who opened
the industrial world. 1t was woman
who made the first rude dwellings and
dressed skins and wove textiles for
clothing. 1t was and not man
who made the first fire and the first
utensils for cooking and the first rude
tools forindAstrial ends. All her actiyi-
ties clustered about the hearth and min
istered to the home. If the woman and
the work had not reacted upon each 9TH
er SO that today ONE should be by
nature homemaktrs and home lovers,
there are still depths for the scientists
to sound in the working of herodity and
of natural selection.
And yet-hcre is my second fact-the
enormous piles Of stone and brick rapid
ly filling the choice plots Of ground in
our large cities and shutting out the
light of heaven with their GaLlcd tops
are mute if not magnificent witnesses to
the fact that the investment Of capital
is all against the perpetuation Ct tho
separate home. The sLrcwd modern in

thousands against hundreds CT dollars

ment hotel to tie separate house with
its privacy, its table, and alas
