The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1907-05-20

When Hawaii was annexed to the
ready had as an independent SOW
ereignty a full-f1edged constitutional
government. This, moreover, was re-
publican in form, and the constitution
under which it had been organized, on
the Fourth of July just four years be-
fore, was one that was as remarkable
for its adaptation to the unique and
complex conditions that it was design
ed to meet as it was for it's embodi-
ment of much advanced thought on
constitutional subjects. The circum-
stances manifestly required that legis
lation by Congress concerning Hawaii
should proceed upon the principle of
adaptation and growth rather than of
preconceiyed theories of government.
Accordingly the existing government
was allowed to continue for two years,
and meanwhile the commendable
course was pursued of leaving to a
tfves from both the United States and
Hawaii, the framing of the necessary
legislation. The natural result was an
organic act composed largely of Dor
rowings from the constitution of the re-
public of Hawaii, with such changes as
seemed called for by the new relations
into which Hawaii had entered, and a
Territorial Government of type high
er or more nearly app ,aching that of
State than any that had been created
previously, although the act as drafted
by the commission was not passed
without several amendments of retro
gressive character

GOVERNOR GLIsHN IN NEW YONfS.
During his recent stay In New York
Governor Glenn, OF North Carolina,
made good copy for the reporters, The
umn OF space with the Governors
words. and the space was by no means
wasted, for Governor Glenn Is good
talker. He spoke mainly of the rail-
rond war, but limited space prevents
us from quoting him at length. In the
course OF his interview. however, he
dropped one remark to which we feel
constrained to call the attention OF the
Raleigh News and Observer.
Governor Glenn was asked IL at any
time during the so-called rate war
there had been chance OF the clash OF
armed forces. His broad, almost boy
ish face flushed. as he said: "1f our
militia had been called out to enforce
the DEGREES of our Supreme Court and
President Roosevelt had sent Federal
troops into our State. OF course we
should have been obliged to allow force
TO overcome our law
Let the Governor speak for himself.
We shall never believe that the News
and Observer would have surrendered
to any number OF Federal troops until
we are assured by that esteemed con-
temporary. The News and Observer
goes to jail. but never surrenders.
There is another statement in Gov
ernor CLIENTS interview which we have
real pleasure in reproducing. 1t Is In
the nature OF correction. Before
taking his departure he said to the re-
porter:
II wish you'd print In your local
papers here, sir. that ! did not spend
the Sunday at Coney Island, as some
OF the newspapers said. went to
church, sir, and took a. nap-at the ho-
tel. Just rode down to Coney Island
and back. I did not attend the amuse-
ments on that day"
The New York newspapers should
he more careful. It Is one thing for
pious Governor to ride down to Lit
tie Coney and back on the Sabbath
Day; 1t is quite another to get off the
car and do stunts. We are grained
that the Governor was able to estab-
fish an alibi
