Those citizens who have come all the way
from Hawaii TO the United States 10 in
duce Congress TO admit that island TO the
Union as a State will have naught for their
labor unless they are paid by the residents
OF the island Hawaii is no better fitted to
become State than is Porto Rico or Lu-
zon. During the past six months its Legis
lature has shown an amazing ignorance re-
garding the primary principles of self-gov-
eminent. The natives who control elections
would restore the late Queen TO her unused
throne If they could have their way. II the
men who have come to ask statehood
should live until the majority of the in
habitants OF Hawaii are fitted for such in
dependence and responsibility. they will be
far older than is the oldest inhabitant OF
any country. The dignity of statehood is
reserved for an intelligent people who have
shown an aptitude for self-government.
Because the residents of New Mexico have
not shown such an aptitude they have been
kept in the territorial relation to the Union
half a century. II New Mexico has not
reached a degree of intelligence TO Be made
a State, IL is very certain that many years
will elapse before Hawaii will reach the
condition where 1t is fitted TO assume the
responsibilities of statehood.
Oklahoma will probably be admitted 20
the Union by the next Congress. and it is
not probable that New Mexico will be de-
MED the honor much longer, but statehood
will be given to those Territories not only
because they have a population that will
warrant it, but because their inhabitants
are qualified by intelligence and experience
for self-government. Without such intel
lgence and experience no Territory can
safely be admitted to the more Independent
and responsible condition of statehood; ir-
| deed, the larger the population, If unfit, the
stronger is the reason for denying a Ter
ritory a place in the Union. Nor is there
evidence that the men who added large
areas of territory TO the United States had
in view the making OF that territory into
States. Jefferson could not have had an
| idea that the country now known Kan
| sas would ever be a State. He sought ter
ritory-territory to be ruled by the United
| States. Alaska was purchased with no idea
on the part of those who made the pur-
chase that it would ever be made a State.
| Mr. Seward and Congress concluded that
| Alaska was a good thing to have, and it
was purchased General Grant thought

FOUR MEN DISCHARGED.


Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. July l5.-Manager
Greenleaf. of the local plant of the Stand
ard Wheel Company. has frankly told the
employees that the management is opposed
TO organized labor, and that the three men
discharged Saturday had made themselves
disliked by the management because of
their activity in the new movement for
local union of the wheel workers organ
ization. There was lack Of work, he said
and the organization men Were discharged
in preference to other men. but the wheel
workers say that their places were given
to others at once, so that their discharge
was not because of lack of work.
Manager Greenleaf says the discharge OF
the three men cannot be taken up as a
grievance by the union, because at the time
of the discharge the organization of the
union was not completed. The men hold
10 the contrary, and on Wednesday night,
when the organization will be completed,
the action of Manager Greenleaf Will be
passed on by the union The fourth dis
charge was made late this evening, when
ar employe of nineteen years standing
was let go. He had accepted an office in
the union.

what action the coal miners of America
would take relative to the strike OF the
Amalgamated Association Of Steel Work
ers, which has been declared at Pittsburg,
Pa. 81 can tell you better what effect the
steel strike will have on the coal miners. "
he replied guardedly. The coal and steel
industries are so closely allied that a great
strike of the steel workers and the closing
down of the great steel mills Will very
greatly lessen the consumption OF coal.
That will mean that many coal mines VIII
cease operations.
lis there likely 10 be a sympathetic strike
ordered among the coal miners?'
Il don't care TO say anything about that"
replied Mr.. Mitchell. THE strike OF the
steel workers has not yet assumed DEFINITE
proportion. / would not care TO say wheth-
er or not the coal miners will be drawn into
it, or even whether such thing has been
considered"
Mr.. Mitchell arrived here to-day from In
dianapolis 10 attend a conference OF Kan
sas and Missouri miners and operators over
wages.
