Annexntionist Logic.

The annexationists are as lame in
their logic as they are deficient in
the sense of political justice and
moral obligation. The Baltimore
American advocates the annexation
of Hawaii regardless Of the pre-.
JUDGES OF the natives Of the islands
and says: did the first settlers in
this country concern themselves
much about the prejudices Of the
Indians7 Did the country bother
about prejudices when it took the
immense southwestern territory
from Mexico2 Has word ever been
said about the prejudices OF the
Alaskans2 Great Britain, France,
Germany, when they find it neces-
sarv to annex territory, do not
trouble themselves about the pre-
JUDGES of the natives" Think OF a
leading American newspaper argu.
ing ia this fashion in support Of q
scheme for the absorption OF terri
tory to which this country cannot
show the slightest claim.
We conquered the territory taken
from Mexico and therefore paid for
it the cost OF conquest. We pur-
chased Alaska from its rightful
owner, Russia We are not propos-
ing to pay anything for Hawaii, ex-
cept to assume obligations amount
ing to 100000. The plan is to
take that territory from the hands
of few POLITICAL adventures, re-
CARELESS OF the will of the majority
OF its people. There is neither justice
nor morality nor republican princi-
pie in this, But our Baltimore con-
temporary cites the example of
European nations that do this sort
of thing as justifying such course
on our part. Is the United States,
then, to emulate the countries of
the Old World in their greed for
territorial aggrandizement2 The
great American statesmen Of the
past did not think it wise to do this
and we of to-day may safely be
guided by their Judgment. 1t will
be serious thing for this republic
when it shall follow the example of
the monarchies OF Europe in terri
torial acquisition. The American
may sincerely believe that this coun-
try needs Hawaii, but its argument
in justification of annexing the isl-
ands is utterly unsound and unten-
able. That, however, is the case
with pretty much all annexation
argument Omaha Bee.

Fatal to the Monroe Doctrine.


Hawaiian annexation will utterly
wreck the Monroe doctrine.
If Germany coveted foothold in
the New World and should take ad-
vantage of the Lueders incident to
seize the republic of Hayti, our pro-
test would be robbed OF all its moral
impressiveness by our own guilty
designs upon Hawaii,
Thomas jefferson wrote in 1920,
three years before Monroe had
formulated the principal, that any
attempt Of European nations to ex-
tend their system to any portion of
this hemisphere must be regarded
as dangerous to our peace and
safety, "that the day is not distant
when we may formally acquire a
meridian of partition through the
ocean which separates the two hemi-
spheres on the higher side OF which
no European gun shall ever be
heard or an American on the other"
With what face could we oppose
Germany's invasion OF our hemi-
sphere on the east if we we're adven-
turing half way across the Pacific
on the west to gohble up by force
and fraud the territory of Govern
mont 90 percent of whose people
disapprove our purpose? We seized
Hawaii four years ago, when our
troops made the agent of the ring OF
spectators rulers on the islands.
The pending treaty OF annexation ia
only the peaceful contamination OF
a plot begun in blood and outrage
as fragrant as would be the forcible
seizure OF Port au Prince.
The moment our hands are soiled
and our honorable record disgraced
by an act of territorial violence and
rapine we lost the right to rebuke
other aggressors. We now assert
the Monroe doctrine as the law OF
the western world. If the European
nations do not recognize the prin'
ciple, they at least are careful not tc
deny it formally and officially. They
are impatient of it, however, ano
would gladly make use Of the first

ANOTHER DOCK cry.
A Choice Piece of Pie Sliced Off for
Oliver, Jr.

If the Rockingham Index knows
Whereof 1T speaks, Mr.. o. II. Dockery,
Jr', is to hold down the cashiers place
IN collector Duncan's revenue cabinet.
MT. Duncan stated over and over again,
While IN Raleigh last week, that he had
not decided upon any appointments, and
Would nave none to announce until af-
ter his confirmation, but it is a very
cold day in Republican slate making
when there is no Dockery booked for a
job, and according to the former fitness
OF things in the general distribution of
Republican pie, we should conclude that
the Index which is owned by Mr.. Settle
Dockery knows just about what it is
talking about and that Mr.. Duncan has
whispered the tender Of cashier into the
ears of Mr.. Oliver Dockery, Jr.
There has been hundred or more
of the faithful with eyes on the recently
appointed collector, and their ears as
near him as they could get them, strain
ing every nerve to catch some tidings
of possible appointment, but during
"a campaign, many are called, while,
when feasting time comes, but few are
chosen.
Mr.. Duncan left Raleigh for Wash
ington Saturday and expects to roll
back into the collectors office about
January 18th.

AND THE STREETS PAVED
COUNCIL OF STATE TO MEET
CONCERNING IT.
THE CITY MAKES A PROPOSITION
Offers to Swap Paving Stone For the Fence
The People Are Anxious For the Pro-
position 10 be Accented,

Last September the News and OBJ
server suggested that the iron fence
around the Capital Square ought to be
removed. 1t pointed out how much it
would add to the beauty of the city to
take away this high fence and terrace
and curb the square.
The officials of Raleigh and the peo-
pie of the city generally said amen
to the suggestion, and many of them
called on the Governor to add their re-
quest to that of the News and Observer
for the removal Of the fence.
The Governor expressed a willing
ness to oblige the citizens, and an ankle
ty to do anything in his power to add to
the beauty of the city. But how to
dispose of the fence, which originally
cost some $1,000, was the thing that
troubled him. He did not wish to
throw it away and nobody seemed to
want it.
But the problem has been solved. The
city wants the fence. 1t needs such a
one around the old city cemetery. So it
has offered the State trade. The State
wants paving stone to pave the streets
around the square. Why not swapc
That is what the city proposes, and
the Council of State will meet today to
say whether or not they Will accept the
proposition.
1t is most earnestly to be hoped they
will. There can be no question about
the fact that it will add a very great
deal to the beauty of the city. All the
people of Raleigh, with scarcely an ex-
ception, ask this change.
The News and Observer hopes to be
able to record tomorrow that the con-
tract has been signed whereby the fence
is to be removed, the streets paved and
the square terraced.

PEN SUNDAY SCHOOL

On Sunday afternoon, at the close
of the Sunday school at the penitentiary
the teachers in body called to see the
new superintendent, Mr.. Mewborne. He
received them most cordially and they
informed him that just twenty-one years
and SIX months ago, on the first Sab
bath of July, 1876, the school was com
menced, and ever since band of Chris
tian workers had faithfully attended.
their only aim being to do the unfor-
tunate prisoners good, so that they may
come out better men and women than
when they Went in. They knew that
good had been done, but the records of
eternity alone would tell all the good
that had been accomplished. Mr.. New
borne said in reuly that he fully an
proved and appreciated the work--and
that the teachers might know that they
would have his hearty endorsement in
their labors.
