NO ANNEXATION SENTIMENT.
Milwaukee Sentinel,

Congressman De Almonds no1sensical |
bill for annexing Canada through an1icable |
has started an academic dis
cussion of a topic in which the American
public ordinarily takes little interest.
There is in this country, and perhaps
Though to q far lesser degree) in Canada
also, floating general notion that in the
fullness of time and through the gradual
working Of natural forces, social and econ
omic, the two countries may as It were
grow together politically. But this no
ton which presents itself to philosophical
minds must be sharply distinguished from
annexation sentiment proper, Of which
there is none worth mentioning in this
country Gas the reception of Mr.. De Ar
mond's absurd proposal went to show),
and pra ctfcally none at all in Canada-at
least among the native Canadians. A mod
crate first hand acquaintance with our
neighbors over, the border would show Mr..
De Almond that there is Canadian pa
triotisrn, a sense of nationalism distinct
from and hardly compatible with imperial
loyalty, to which annexation is abhorrent
and which Americans should not fail to
respect. The sentiment may in time be
countervailed by closer commercial rela-
tions and by the steadily rising inflow Of
American immigrants and capital into the
dominion. But it f1ourishes to-day, am
bilious, sensitive, and practically uni
| yersal. and it was only affronted and ac-'
centuated by Mr.. De Almonds grotesque
| proposition.
While the premature and i'll informed
Mr.. De Almond is not taken too seriously

MISSING VOUCHERS

The indefatigable industry of the
United States District Attorney, Rob-
ert w. Breckons, Esq, in securing wit
nesses and bringing evidence before
this Grand Jury has been of invaluable
assistance in enabling the Jury to reach
its conclusions, and the Jury desires to
congratulate this Honorable Court up
on having such an efficient and unpre-
JUDGED Attorney.
This Grand Jury desires to express
its appreciation of the services render
ed by the U. S. Marshal f.. r. Hendry.
Upon the adjournment of the Terri
torial Legislature for the session of
1903, the Secretary of the Territory was
unable to fully comply with the pro-
vision of the Organic Act, which makes
il his duty to record and preserve all
of the laws and proceedings of the Leg
islature and transmit within thirty
days copies of the same to the Secre-
tary of the Interior of the United
States, owing to the fact that there
were never deposited in his office the
Vouchers of the House of Representa-
tiVes, showing an expenditure by that
body of a sum of over $50, 10000 during
the regular and special sessions. After
deliveration, this Grand Jury decided
to investigate this matter and subpoe-
mas were therefore issued to every
member of the House of Representa-
tives and to the Clerk of the House. to
appear before it. Clerk Solomon Mehe-
ula produced vouchers which
had been drawn on the Treasury
amounting to over S5O,OOOOO. Upon
checking these vouchers, it was found
that 20 warrants had been drawn.

PEONAGE CASES

This Grand Jury was specifically
charged by the late Honorable Morris
NJ Estee as to its duties relative to Of
5527 Of the Revised Statutes of the
United States, known as the 'peonage'
statutes, and Section 8 of the Act Of
March g. 1903, relating to the import
ing of women into the United states
for the purposes OF prostitution. MANY
witnesses have been examined by tEis
Jury, with the result that its finding,
were reached only after a searching in
quiry into the complex social conditions
and requirements of the heterogeneous
population of the Territory This
Grand Jury believes, Honorable Sir
that i'm all large communities there are
as radical differences in ethical stand
ards as exist in Hawaii, and that Spa-
tions $500 and 5527 of the Revised Stat
utes and various similar provisions of
the Statutes of the United States are
fully as applicable to almost every
eastern city of the United States as to
this Territory. The several bills of in
dictment which were returned to your
Honorable Court under these statutes
were found by this Grand Jury i'm the
belief that any woman living in the
United States of any social status
whatsoever has the right to demand
and receive the full protection of tbs
law, and that any person who assists
In any way in restricting that right is
answerable under the laws of the Unit
ed States and the laws of all humanity.

PLENTY OF Jaw

Honorable sir, self-respecting COM
munity has supreme contempt for one
of its own number who, while tempo
rarily invested with dsbursing power
stoops to slip his hand into the COM
munity till, and to balance the ac-
counts, numbers up the cash book with
glittering phraseology concerning pa
tent fictitious services, and that COM
munity very emphatically, and proper
ly so, classes such an act along with
that of the bungling but successful for
ger who raises a check. The Penal
Code amply covers such acts. After a
careful study of the vouchers surrend-
cred to it, and a rigid and repeated
questioning of witnesses brought before
it, this Grand Jury is of the unanimous
opinion that during the last session of
the Legislature the Treasury of this
Territory was in several instances
knowingly looted by the drawing OF
warrants against vouchers signed and
approved by a chairman of committee
for services never performed; that in
certain instances, also, vouchers were
