WHY NOT srATEHooDp

The Territories of Arizona, Okla
homa and New Mexico are applicants
for Statehood before the Congress
now in session. The friends of Ha-
waii are using their best efforts in
Washington to secure Territorial
Government for Hawaii. Why should
we be modest and ask for a half a
loaf when the people of the terri
tories mentioned who are not our
equal in any way are demanding
whole loaf?

Oklahoma claims Statehood be-
cause she has 122 weekly newspapers
and 10 dailes. Haven't we got The
Friend which is as good as 122
dailies, and Austin's Weekly which
gives us more excitement than all
the Oklahoma papers do in that
territory. They have 100000 fruit
trees in Oklahoma and we have 100
times as many cane plants growing
here. They claim 700 churches, and
we have two stock exchanges, and
all three territories claim lots of fine
people and railroads. We have the
hula girls, $4,000 Japanese and Pain.
Why then should we be denied
Statehood? Will Mr.. Ballou arise
and explain.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1900-01-31

Take Arizona for instance. 1t
furnishes lots of cartoons for the

ing and lumber interests. Have
we not got Dole and his whiskers,
and what can compare with our
sugar interests? Arizona wants
Statehood because 100000 people
live in the territory. Can't we beat
that figure any day in the week as
long as the surplus holds out and
the Sanitary Committee is taxing a
census, and the different "Marus"
are dumping their humane cargoes
on our shores?

New Mexico claims Statehood be-
cause there are 2s5, 900 people in the
territory. 1t is admitted that the
majority prefers to speak Spanish
to using American as she is spoke,
but can't we go them one better on
that point. In New Mexico they
