What Washington Did Not Know

We don't like 10 be irreverent, but
would like 20 ask what did our foreiath-
ers know? What for instance, did
George Washington know? He never
saw a steamboat; he never saw fast
mail train; he never held his ear to a
telephone; he never sat ior his picture
in photo graph gallery; he never re
'ceived telegraph dispatch; he never
sighted Krupp gun; he never listened
ID the ''fizz" of an electric pen; lie
never saw pretty girl run II sowing
machine; ne never saw seli-propeiling
engine 90 down the street to a tire; lie
never heard OF evolution, he never took
laughing gas he never had set OF store
teeth; he never attended an inter-
national exposition; he neTer owned
a bonanza mine; he never knew ''O'd

he took an excursion, it was on fat

Don't Want Hawaii

1t seems singular tAat any sentiment
could be worked up in favor OF Hawaii
when We consider Cns character of their
labor system. The g gar industry OF
Hawaii is practically founded upon
forced labor. 1t is not very serious
stretch OF this truch to say that the sugar
industry oil Hawaii is now practically
based upon slave labor. Two hundred
and fifty years ago many persons were
brought over TO Virginia and sold az
slaves for given periods OF time, TO re-
imburse the ship captains for their
transportation money. Some OF these
persons were well educated, seeking this
country hoping for future development
and willing to accept the condition of
slavery for time, hoping in The end to
better their own condition. This may
be the motive of the many thousands O
contract labor in Hawaii. Be thei
hopes and expectations what they may
they are now i'll Hawaii under contract.
and compelled to work unless too i'll to
do SO. There were employed last year
about %, 900 laborers OH the sugar plan
tations in Hawaii, over half OF whom
were contract laborers The other hall
were styled free" lahore rs, distinctive
use OF the word free, indicating the semi
slave condition of the contract laborer
1t has been found in Hawaii that the
contract laborers when their periods OF
apprenticeship expire on the sugar
plantations are frequently quite unwill-
ing to renew their contracts, preferring
to go to the> coffee plantations. We
inention all this TO show that the United
States is now seriously considering the
annexation OF the Hawaiian Islands,
wherein the entire labor system is OF a
semi-slave character, and is seeking to
bring that country into closer relations
with our own, and into such relations as
would unquestionably be injurious to
our now developing sugar industry. We
believe that every senator and repre-
tentative in Congress who would give
this matter fair consideration, would at
once perceive the very incongruous
proposition :hst is made by the an
mt xationists.

bryozoons, which. Ike "a tr3cery of lace,

How this mimicry was assumed we can

The gulls and other enemies naturally
caught sight OF those which presented the
most marked contrast. so that the con-
spicuous fornls were dcvoured; the incon-

TO resemble the weed, remained 20 per-

forms OF to-day.
