ANN RATION ARE WE BETTER
OFF?

The Independent takes text from
yesterdays Advertiser to make a point
for the Lost Cause. We said that un-
der the threatened alterations in the
Cullom Bill the political outlook is
gloomy and the labor outlook by no
means propitious; whereupon the In
dependent reminds us that these diff
culties might have been escaped If the
annexatlonlsts of 1898 had not sold
the country" The Independent used
to say that the United States Govern
ment, acting through the Boston's ma
rlnes. seized the country. Both charges
cannot be true-but let that pass. The
point our contemporary makes, and
from which there are also sufficient
grounds of dissent, is that the present
local conditions and prospects would
be better II the Monarchy had not been
oyerthrown.
We contend that they would be
worse. Does the Independent think
that the Hawaiian Monarchy or any
other autonomous government here
could have saved the reciprocity treaty
from the growing and far-reaching an
tagonism of the sugar trust and the
American sugar-beet grower? We as
sumo not, for that paper even affects
to believe that there will be tax on
81 gar with the Islands under the
American flag. Surely, after that 1t
cannot assume that reciprocity would
have been safe under the native flag.
Nor could it have been safe. Do we
not remember that the sugar trust,
Just before the Spanish war upset all
It's calculations, was assalllng not only
annexation but reciprocity, and that
despite the committal of the Republi-
can party TO both principles the trust
felt sure of winning? II Is no stretch
OF the hypothetical to say that II the
Monarchy had existed here at that
time the Mainland sugar people would
have had their way. There would
have been no party to come to the res
cue OF the Monarchy and Republicans
In particular would have sought the
favor OF the sugar-beet men by giving

is a pity the squatters did not wait I'M
til the current news from Washington
had been received, for that would have
shown them the futillty of paying a
man for making land prescriptions
costly and difficult. All Little has done
SO far-apart from getting into the
costly company of thirty-third degree
Masons and applying for an Alaska
judgeship-is to hurt the material in
terests of Hawaii, those of his clients
in particular. Instead of giving him
$500 the squatters should have sent on
thirty cents and bade him come as far
towards Olaa as the money would bring
him and stay right there until he got
more.

does not involve an Identification OF

quality OF his electoral intelligence,

nearer the future government OF Ha-

the South, approaches to the white
ideal of administrative capacity, the
better 1t must be for the progress, the
prosperity and the trade OF the whole
people.
We know Of no worse enemies of Ha-
wall than those who are now chuckling
over the amendments to the Cullom
Bill. Some of them know no better
like the vealy Bulletin-whlle Others
are only anxious to pull down the pill
lars OF the temple or to fire the Ephe-
sian dome so that they may do some
scavenging in the ruins. AS the Gull
lom Bill stood, 1t was a measure of
craftsmanship, framed to conserve the
best interests OF the Islands; as it is
being amended IL becomes an instru-
ment OF mixed good and Ill, with more
of the latter than the former. To give
the old party of the Queen the rights
OF an electoral majority here Is to re-
store the legislative scandals of the
monarchy and make widespread con-
fusion and discomfort; while to abol-
ish the safeguards about plantation
labor without leaving any time for
gradual adjustment to new conditions
is to excite riots and strikes. Olaa plan
tation would be by the ears today II
Manager McStocker had not been able
to summon the law to his side in deal
ing with the rebellious coolies; and we
venture the prediction that the moment
contract labor goes by the board that
moment will usher in greater trouble
than the bubonic plague has brought.
People who rejoice in such possibilities
need no characterization from us, for
the nature OF their intellectual or NOR
al qualities must be plain to every
body.
But we must take what comes and
make the best of it. That Is the only
way out now.

Another danger which grew up un-

Issue OF momentous significance on

weapons OF defence; for 1t is well with
in the power of the United States, as
II could not have been of any Island
government. to stop japanese immigra-
ton when 1t grows dangerous, just as
Chinese immigration was stopped.
Knowing that as 1t did, the japanese
embassy at Washington fought day
and night to defeat, first, the annexa-
ton treaty, and, later, the annexation
bill. 1t had paid literary bureau at
the time, one of the writer's for which
was a local journalist who, since his
return to these Islands, has been one
of the most conspicuous of the profess
sional Earnest Patriots. We merely
mention this to show the nature and
extent OF japanese official solicitude
for an open field of racial expansion in
Hawaii
Viewing these three benefts-the
setting up of the only possible safe
guard of the sugar business upon
which the prosperity of Hawaii de-
Ponds; the introduction to the group
and to this city of millions of dollars
of foreign capital; the provision Of the
means OF safety from an overwhelm-
ing Japanese nvasion-viewing these
benefits, we say no falr-minded person
can be sorry for annexation. No
doubt the change has its drawbacks,
but, dealing with benefits as compare
tive, we may credit annexation with
bestowing more of them upon al! the
people than any other previous politi-
cal condition could possibly have
done.

Fortunately, any battle that may be
fought outside the defences of Bloem-
fontein and south of the Transvaal

chances of success they have never en-
joyed in this war before. The Free

Kansas and Nebraska, and therefore a
