PROBLEMS BEFORE Us.

sWhile the Territorial bill might

Of the electorate became better known.
There might easily arise voting condi-

to the higher posts who would be far
less acceptable to the country than
those whom Governor. answerable
on the one hand to the Hawaiian Sen
ate and on the other to the President
Of the United States, would appoint.
Should 1t appear that our mixed elect
crate can be trusted to provide good
government for itself, as evidenced by
the kind of Legislature 1t ordains and
the success OF the municipal and coun-
ty systems 1t chooses to adopt, then we
may begin to agitate. with every pros

THE COLONIAL BUGBEAR

A colony Of the United States, Icing
under the Federal Constitution, would
be SO nearly identical with a Territory
that 1t would be absurd to call it my
thing else.
The true colony, as Great Britain or
dams and recognizes It. has local self
government and an appointive Guver-
nor who, in turn, names some or all of
the higher administrative officers. In
this respect it is like an American Ter
ritory; but 1t also has the right to en-
act its own tariff and navigation laws.
and that Is where it becomes vitality
different from what an American colo
ny could possibly be. As the Federal
Constitution stands. the revenue laws
of the United States must apply equal
ly in all American possessions. The
Supreme Court SO construed the law
when California was coded to the
Union, holding that, by the ratification
Of the treaty California becomes a
stantly bound and privileged by the
laws which Congress had passed to
raise revenue from duties on I'M
ports" 1t is conceded by all great
lawyers who have so far studied the
matter and given their views to the
public that the same principle must APP

which says that all duties, imports
and excuses shall be uniform through
out the United States" settles the mat

navigation laws, in the latter relation

mated by United States custom houses
from tonnage and import duties. BY
common consent the phrase the Unit
ed States" as used in the Constitution
means all territory Of whatever politi
cal organization, which the flag per
manently shelters. Only during adm
term military rule can separate tariff
Jurisdiction be maintained.
The point is that even II Hawaii were
called n colony 1t would be identified il
all its important privileges and immu
mites with Territory; and that thi
being so, no practical reason can b'
given for calling 1t colony or treating
II as anything else than an integra
part of the Union.

also have accorded TO us those privi-
leges which our confreres have" So
we should. But is II not intended that
we should have them? Does our Ter
ritoriai bill give us fewer electoral
privileges than the people Of other Ter
ritories enjoy? What the Star really
asks for are the privileges. minus but
one electoral right. of Statehood. That
in the present condition of things Is
asking too much-more than Hawaii
might be able to assimilate. or the
United States find itself justified or re-
warded in comforting.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

The feast Of the Puritans has.bscome
the holiday Of the people. but the holi-
day has not lost the SAVIOR OF the
earlier observance. Men 'stin give
thanks in a reverent spirit: they
crowd the churches as they rarely do
upon any other day Of public cere-
mony; families gather at the paternal
board where grace is still invoked In
the old fashion. There is. II is true. a
new atmosphere of sport and hilarity
about Thanksgiving Day but 1t does
not alter the fact that the feast Of the
Puritans, in both its religious and So
cial Significance, Is still with us. Long
may At survive the buffetings OF time
and the attrition Of cynical disfavor;
far fall the day when II may be
stripped of its primary meanings and
become the hollow fete time Of the
madding crowd who see in the most
sacred festivals no more than the
chance for another afternoon on and
for a lively night to follow.
Thanksgiving Day implies, of course,
something to be grateful for. Now and
then gratitude has to take the form OF
a lively sense OF favors to come. but
not SO in the present era or on this
soil. The people OF Hawaii can rise
to the spirit of the Presidents procla.
nation and thank the destiny that
shapes our ends for q vast and accu-
mulating store of material good. We
have never had a better year. Pros
perity has risen like a fragrant ema-
nation of the soil; peace and justice
have held sway unchallenged and un.
impugned: education has done more
perfect work; floods and pestilences
have not visited us; past bitterness
has softened and men sundered by
politics have become friends. Why
should we not give thanks and take
courage for the future?

tens md the aims Of autocratic gov
eminent II one Of these free nations
could be crushed the other would soon
be attacked in overwhelming force.
That Is one reason why Great Britain,
in the light OF her newly acquired wis
dom. hastens to get between the
United States and any threatening CO.
alition. 1t knows that the Anglo-Sax-
ons must make common cause or be
assaulted in detail. Napoleon foresaw
this danger when he said that Europe
must be either Republican or Cossack.
There are great powers-one OF them

public-which are cOnspiring In every
shadow to make 1t Cossack. Against
these armored forces stand the democ-
racy of Great Britain and the democ-
racy Of America. They are apart from
one another, 1t is true. but they occu-
by the same ''far-fung" defensive line.
Could they help coming together II
either one were in danger OF being
driven from that position and COM
PEELED to yield to the forces that men,

Perhaps an alliance may not be need
ed in this generation, nor for an hun
dred years. but when it, Is needed 1t
will follow like effect from cause. In
the meantime the policy that goes
farthest toward establishing goodwill
and mutual respect is the best patriot
ism and the only safety. Americans
must put aside the memory Of old feuds
and remember the objects, vital to us,
that Great Britain stands for in the
world; while Britons, for their part.
must not forget that America is a
mighty stronghold Of their own basic
principles and as such may be needed,
some day, to help hold common ground.

ANGLO AMERICAN ALLIANCE.

Whether Great Britain and the
United States will ever come together
in the terms Of definite alliance is
an engrossing subject with the review
ers and editorial mOralists on both
sides of the Atlantic. 1t is admitted
that the ill-feeling caused by mistakes
on the part of Briui nistries. by
common Observation-Disclosures, by the
exigencies Of American politics and the
partisan tone of text books, has in a
measurable degree abated. But wheth-
er this change of sentiment will ever
lead to joint action in the politics Of
the world is an open question. People
suggest many things as being pro or
con. Perhaps such an alliance would
bring down upon the United States the
enmity OF all the rest of the world;
perhaps on the other hand II would at
tract the weaker nations into the mys-
tic circle of the giant brotherhood for
the sake OF peace. 1t Is argued by
those who oppose the change that two
powers which are rivals in commerce
could never be true friends in politics,
but this does not account for the fact
that as British commerce and trade
have declined the feeling in Great Brit
ain in favor of locking arms with
America has increased, The utilita-
rian of the moment declares that no
Ministry In the United Kingdom and
no party In the United States could
withstand the protest which the OPP
posing political forces--Irish and Ger
mans in America and reactionaries OF
all kinds in Great Britain-would make
at the polls; but this theory, though
practical enough for the hour. could
hardly stand the test of a common dan
ger.
One thing Is certain: II Great Britain
should go down in the abyss where
Imperial Rome and no one knows how
many other world-powers have van
ished. the United States would stand
practically alone In championship Of
the democratic idea. Can she afford
TO stand alone? Could she have at-
forded TO take Spain by the throat last
year II Great Britain had been a
fourth-olass power? Perhaps, but
there would have been danger In the
air, One cannot but remember the
significant stir among the Continental
monarchies when America sent the Ill
timatum to Spain and the sullen atti-
tude OF more than one great power
when Great Britain said that she would

The English press does not like the
idea of a successful submarine boat and
is inclined to pooh-pooh the Holland.
This is not surprising inasmuch as big
battleships and armored cruisers must
be reduced in value one-half the mo-

its capacity to sink one OF them un-
awares. Great Britain has invested
too much in her Navy to feel COM
