BOOK REFLECTS HAWAII HOPE
Names Recorded Interest Committee Studying Statehood Because
of Their Prolonged Battle for Islands Acceptance
Territory of This Nation.

Secretary Seward was advised of
strong annexation sentiment In the
islands and instructed the American
Minister at Honolulu to receive ia
vorably any overtures made there for
such move. On September IL, 1854.
he wrote to McCook: "- If the
policy of annexation should conflict
with the policy of reciprocity, annex
alton is in every sense to be pre-
ferred."
In the annual message of President
Johnson of December 8. 1868. he re-
garded reciprocity with Hawaii as de-
sirable until the people of the Is
lands shall of themselves, at no dis
tant date, voluntarily apply for ad-
mission into the Union"
Again in 1871, on April S. Presi-
dent Grant sent q special message to
the Senate in which he significantly
solicited some expression of the views
of that body respecting the advisa-
bility of annexation.
MARCH 25. 1873, Hamilton Fish
Az issued an instruction In which
he considered the necessity of annex
ing the islands in accordance with
the wise forethought of those who
see future that must extend the
jurisdiction and the limits of this
Nation and that will require a resting
spot in mid-ocean between the Pa
ciflc Coast and the vast domains of
Asia which are now opening to COM
merce and Christian civilization" He
directed the Minister to Hawaii mot
to discourage the feeling which may
exist in favor of annexation to the
United States, but to seek to invite
information touching the terms and
conditions upon which that object
might be effected"
Since the conclusion of the reci-
procity treaty of 1875" stated the Ii
brarian of Congress, sit has been the
obvious policy of the succeeding ad-
ministrations to assert and defend
against other powers the exclusive
rights OF the United States. and to
fortify the maintenance of the exist
ing Hawaiian government through
the direct support of the United
States, so long as that government
shall prove able to protect our para
mount rights and interests"
On December /, 1881, Secretary
Blaine, in an instruction to the Amer
ican Minister at Honolulu. wrote: 1T
(this Government) firmly believes that
the position Of the Hawaiian Islands
as the key to the dominion OF the
American Pacific demands their benev-
olent neutrality. to which end it will
srnestily cooperate with the native
government. And If, through any
catMe, the maintenance of such a be-
nevolfnt neutrality should be found

UNITED STATES Senator, 1t
~ appears, is something more
~ than an automatic maker of
laws, perennial debater of
issues, and the voice of constituents.
If you had begun to picture him in no
other role, take look at the other
side of the picture. There's the pater-
familias, the slippered warrior at the
freside hearth, the fond father, who
proudly recounts his child's marks in
school and regales the cloakroom with
tales of what Johnny said to the i'm
portant guest, and how Betty Lou is
facing the teething period. If you
haven't seen a United States Senator
IN this role. you haven't seen him at
his best, and it will perhaps astonish
you to know that some of the most
delightful family circles in Washington
aren't half so concerned about pap's
being in the Senate as they are about
his getting home for dinner.
What a 6-year-old son or 15-year-
old daughter can do to the ponap and
panoply of senatorial office would sur
prise you. Just one hopeful inquiry
into whether or~not he remembered to
bring home a chocolate bar, from little
Susan. can throw the most dignified
/ legislator in the chamber into greater
confusion than a demand to explain
his stand on the Supreme Court issue.
For Senators, it appears, are as vulner-
able as the rest of the genus domestica

tainly none is prouder nor has greater

w yHEN the CONGRESSIONAL party
"A arrived in Honolulu this
" " month to inquire into Ha-
waits readiness for state
hood. the discovery of long-lost
book brought back the days of the
territory's struggle for annexation to
the Union.
Discovered abandoned in a cellar,
the dust covered and worn old ledger
turned out to be the great register Of
the Hawaiian Annexation Club.
Boring worms have made inroads
upon its yellowing pages. but the vol
ume was found to contain the still
legible lists of the many citizens OF
Hawaii who ultimately placed their
island country under the American
flag.
Lorrin P. Thurston. publisher of the
Honolulu Advertiser and son Of one OF
the foremost leaders of the annexation
movement, was the finder of the bat
tered roll.
The name of ThurstOn's father,
Lorrin A. Thurston, is included in the
list of men from all the islands who
gave themselves to this cause of unit
ing with the American Government.
He recorded many of the names in the
register. He was outstanding among
the leaders of the reform party which
! had broken the corrupt power of the
misled monarch, and remained high
in the councils of the succeeding re-
publican government, heading at last
the Annexation Commission to WASH
ington.
The late Sanford B. Dole. president
of the provisional. government. Presi-
dent of the Republic of Hawaii, first
Governor of the Territory, was en-
rolled. SO was the late Alfred F. Judd,
chief justice of the Supreme Court. So,
too. was the late Wallace r. Earring
ton, editor of the Honolulu Evening
Bulletin, and later Governor of the
Territory. Educators, judges, doctors,
lawyers and clergymep joined the
ranks of the annexationists. Pilots
nautical as we'll as spiritual, printers
and planters. farmers and fishermen
are found recorded in the clubs great
register Nearly score of nationali-
ties-English, German, Greek, Span
ish, French and dozen others are
represented.
THE cosmopolitan origins of these
men reminds one of the makeup
Of the great American Republic, and
all Of them were united in their desire
for a share Of the government of
America and the protection which cit
izenship in. the United States would
guarantee.

sons Of the former chief justice. and q
host Of others. Many Of them will
doubtless attend the hearings Of the
congressional party and hear argued
in world that has changed much in
its Pacific outlook the pros and cons
of cause that started years ago.
A glance at the great register Of the
Hawaiian Annexation Club recalls the
stirring days of the nineties when
Hawaii became a subject for the Amer
lean press, and editors all over the
country we're stirred to attack. defend
and otherwise comment on the pro-
islands to the Federal family.
So great was the interest in the mat
ter that an American President was
threatened with impeachment. Cleve-
lands Minister to Hawaii was in
structed to advise the provisional gov
ernment to withdraw in favor of the
Hawaiian Queen Liliuokalani, intelli-
gent and proud successor to King
Kalakaua. The Presidents order was
as tinder to spark. and editors and
statesmen ferily demanded his hide,
seeing in his action the very antithesis
OF the American ideal Of government.
Prior to Cleveland's second admin
istration. Benjamin Harrison had fore
seen the day when Hawaii would be a
part Of the Nation. He had ordered
the librarian of Congress to prepare q
summary of the efforts made since
1850 toward the annexation of Hawaii.
This he sent with his message to the
Senate on February is. 1898. 1t
shows that from an early day the
policy of the United States has con-
sistently and constantly declared
against any foreign aggression in the
Kingdom of Hawaii inimical to the
necessarily paramount rights and in
terests of the American people and
the uniform contemplation of the
annexation of Hawaii as contingent
necessity
THE summary further showed that
in 1851 the king drew up and
signed a deed of cession of the king
dom and placed it under seal in the
hands of the commissioner of the
United States. At the first hostile
shot fired by France. then threaten
ing Hawaiian independence, the
American commissioner was to open
and act upon the provisions of the
deed.
In 1854 William L. Marcy. then
Secretary of State of the United
States, advocated annexation OF
Hawaii, and \ draft of q treaty was
actually agreed upon with the
Hawaiian ministry. Completion, how
ever, was delayed by foreign influ-
ence upon the heir to the throne, and
the plan was finally defeated by the
death Of Kamehameha III.
