A MKINLEY MONUMENT.

That the suggestion Of monument
IN Hawaii 10 william Mckinley should
have arisen simultaneously IN many
minds H. not surprising. The appro-
prlatencss Of ouch monument would
naturally arise In the minds Of men
American by birth or instinct who were
familiar with the history that made
this American soll, and especially In
The minds pr men who had helped
make that history.
The appropriateness does not arise
wholly nor necessarily from the view
that Hawaii owes It's Incorporation
into the American union wholly or
solely 10 President Mckinley, nor 10
any slRse ,Pf RHlgahon to him on the
DaiDmf Hawaii other than that Obliga-
ton which y generous minds acknOw-,
ledge f0F benefits conferred not az a
personal favor but in the course Of
wise and enlightened justice. We do
not look on the annexation Of Hawaii
~ benefit 10 uB devoid Of correspond
ing or complementary benefits to the
rest Of the union Therefore, In a
sense, a monument 10 Mckinley TO
commemorate the annexation Of Ha-
wall, might Just ~ appropriately be
placed IN Washington AZ IN Honolulu.
But our monument 10 Mckinley would
naturally and appropriately be placed
here, 81,
In subscribing the funds for such
monument, all classes Of our citizens
could with perfect consistency Join,
and doubtless would do so. whatever
may hive been the differences Of opln-
ion and sentiment before annexation,
with the contamination Of that great
event the destiny Of Hawaii became
irrevocably Joined and united 10 that

It Is to be regretted that the decision
In the case Of DR.. Luella S. Cleveland
did not clearly define the application
and enforcement Of the law relating to
the compulsory vaccination Of school
children. Good laws are sometimes
brought into dlsrepute by the method OF
their enforcement. The design of the
law was 10 guard against the spread OF
smallpox. or the utility Of such a law
there is not serious difference Of OPT
Mon, II Is believed, in this territory. At
the same time there can be no doubt
that In England and America there are
considerable elements including some
portions Of the medical profession who
doubt and dispute the necessity or
base their views on conditions and cir
cumstances which DO not exist here.
Nevertheless, a prejudice against vac
cinatiOn here once aroused, might
strengthen Itself by arguments put for
ward In countries where our conditions
do not exist. TO all who believe In the
wisdom Of the vaccination law as a
health regulation suited and necessary
to our conditions, II would be a mat
ter Of regret II the enforcement OF the
law should arouse prejudice against
II strong enough TO sweep II from the
statute book

The rule against smoking on the
