HawaIi's Future,

Without doubt the union of little Ha-
wall with great America lifts the cur
tain before future full of great possi-
bilities to Hawaii. To America the
union is of great Importance, but to
that great country, with its manifold
interests, it is but ripple in the on
ward flow of its resistless energies-a
rivulet joining the river. To us of Ha-
waii it is present loss for future and
greater good, sovereignty and indie
pendence, and some heartfelt associa-
tions for participation in a greater SOW
ereignty and more effective indepen-
dence represented by a government of
incalculable strength. We shall un-
doubtedly have our disappointments.
There will be some bad mixed with the
good. But there will be growth be-
yOnd all our precedents. Our local
world will be larger, and we shall be
more in touch with the great communi-
ties of the rest of the world. We are
not Americans now for better or worse.
We have placed our fortunes and our
future in the hands of the United
States. We shall prosper or suffer as
they shall deal with us.-EXPresident
Sanford b. Dole, in Harper's Weekly.

Only AZ per cent. of the babies born
annually live to the end of the allotted
three score years and ten of mans ex-
istence. Yet of the other 951a per cent.
nearly 20 per cent. die unnecessarily.
The facts came out in paper on "Un-
natural DEATH" read at the recent
meeting of the Sanitary Institute of
England. The author told his hearers
that about 100000 babies were born
annually in England. Thirty thousand
of the 100000 would die violent
deaths from accident, 10000 would die
unnecessarily from tuberculosis, and
100000 more from other absolutely pre-
ventable causes, such as smallpox,
measles and scarlet fever. Only $4,000
would be allowed to live out their nat
ural lives, and nearly one in twenty
would die because the machine was
worn out. One-fourth of all the dis
eases which destroy life are absolutely
preventable, and Is years would at
once be added to its average duration
if the practice of hygiene were placed
on level with its theory. DR.. Hill at
tributed the greater number of the dis
eases over which the individuals affect
ed by them have personal control to
mistakes in eating and drinking-N.
