Yet Hawaii has now been annexed and
her delegates have sat in the national
conventions of the two great parties. The
fears then expressed in relation to an
"oligarchy and EARNED soldiers are not
now seriously entertained by any human
being; yet they are precisely the objec-
tons urged against the acquisition of the
Philippines at this very moment.

We are making no new departure.
We are not taking single step which

we have given widely varying degrees of

The simple truth is that there is moth

its producing evil results at home now
than there of its interfering with
