tragic night when Mike was killed in
a crash. After his death, no word OF

Linda stopped, her words hung up
in mid air.
She knew she meant them; she wish

ed they were true-but they weren't.
wholly.
10 was right, Linda was more than
ripe for a little enjoyment out OF
life little fun for Linda, she who had
given and sacrificed for Mike Morton
and for Mikes son.
Would she be such a fool as to deny
Mickey, her own Mickey, just for a
while? Or would she be bigger fool
to risk losing the first man who had
really stirred her deeply, the first
since Mike Morton?
Linda, the mother, answered no to
the first question.
Linda, the girl-a girl as normally
selfish as the next one-heard the
second question, and, to it, answered
yes.
Mickey Morton, asleep in his crib,
with Dopey the doll Graded in the
crook of his little arm, didn't dream
that word or sign from tall young
man with nice eyes might make Mick
ey an orphan, by duplicity, at any
time.
Neither did Linda dream it, at that
instant. But the seed was there.
"Come on, Jo," Janice said. elm

"Sorry, sister," 10 said. "Just
Aunty 10 popping off. Don't give it
second thought. And don't get me
wrong about Mickey. He's still my
favorite boy friend"
Goodnight, girls" Linda smiled.
Get home safe."
She stood at the door and watched
them walk the thirty feet down the
hall to their own rooms.
Then she went to Mickey's crib,
dropped to her knees and remained
there a long time before she went to
her own bed.
The next day, back at work in the
office, Linda thought more and more
of JOS suggestion of the night before.
DR.. Thorpe smilingly accused her
of wool-gathering and offered to bet
that her thoughts were miles away
back in her home state maybe
and that's when she asked the ques-
ton she didn't mean to ask.
"About DIR. Blaine, DIR. Thorpe
Linda said, "you told me you support
ed him-I didn't understand"
"Not Billy Blaine child" DIR. Thorpe
laughed. 81 was talking about his
father. Old J. r. practically owns the

building. I pay him a fancy rent
each month";
"Oh!" said Linda. "Thanks."
The morning was almost a total
blank for Linda, but somehow she
managed to get her work done. When
lunch time came, she couldn't have
told you why she went to the sun deck
on the roof, but would have ascribed
it probably to sudden desire for
sun.
If Linda went to the roof garden
in hopes of meeting someone, it is
safe to assume that someone wasn't
the one she met.
It was there and then that Linda
met Steve Hubbard.
The sun was bright and glazing and
Linda closed her eyes against it's
brightness. AS she stretched her sup
pie young form in the gayly colored

roof under less tranquil circumstand
chair, he would surely see Linda: pa
ticularly if the visitor were tall an
tanned man with nice blue eyes, 4
white, engaging smile and skilled,
long hands-a man who was on the
roof under les tranquil circumstances
yesterday, man who was afraid he'd
wake up and find her, Linda, gone.
Well, he dind't need to be afraid
of that. Little Linda was right here.
But where was DR.. Blaine.

ed, "and receive the chaplet I have
. woven with these here lily white
hands, to be placed upon your alabas-
ter brow"
Linda stopped messing with the
chops and stood stockstill grinning
at them from the sink, arms akimbo
small fists resting on her hips.
Heroine, is it?" she smiled. "Well
that's most terribly nice of you girls
Tell you what TIL do: I'll trade the
title now, sight unseen, for three
brand new lamb chops, preferably I'M
smoked"
"But Linda" Janice was eager as
a child at his first Christmas, "we're
serious. It's to thrilling, honestly
Tell us all about it, won't you?"
"Look," 10 added, ''you don't deny
that you helped save a mans life
Well, darling, next time can't you con-
trive to save the whole mani mean
save one for me?"
"Do you girls, or either of you
know DIR. Blaine-Bill Blaine?"
Linda hadn't meant to say that. It
just popped out. And it didn't sound
nearly as casual as she'd planned it.
Janice wouldn't notice, she felt sure
But 10 was smart. 10 would be sure
to make a crack about it.
"Such question:" 10 scoffed, EDO
know J. Pierpont Glotz? Do know
Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.? Do I know
any eligible male who has money and
what it takes, besides? The answer
is no. But-do I know who he is
and would I like to know DIR. Blaine
better? The answer is yes, but def
initely YES"
II just wondered" Linda faltered,
mot that it means anything"
It didn't sound convincing.
The three girls, with 10 and Linda
doing most of the talking ands Janice's
mouth open in wonder more than in
speech, proceeded to reconstruct the
dramatic events of the day.
Mickey and the burned chops, both
forgotten, had to fend for themselves.
Mickey took his old Dopey and went in
the front room. The chops just sat
there on the sink.
DIR. Blaine, 10 told Linda, was one
of the city's most brilliant young sur
geons, specializing in orthopedic or
bone, surgery. He and young DIR. Leo
nard Renquist were proteges of DR..
Franc Carter Vance, the swankiest
surgeon in Titan Tower, whose suite
occupied nearly the whole nineteenth
floor. DR.. Vance's name-all three of
them-was at home equally in the

were once Territories, In one form
or another. But the fact stands
that the annexation Of Hawaii was
as q Territory, without any more
than the remotely implied possibility
Of future statehood, which indeed
has been involved in every terri
torial status-save perhaps in the
case of the District of Columbia,
which was once a Territory, as far
as form of government was con-
cerned, but for only a brief period.
Nevertheless in the course of the
hearings on the subject of state
hood several witnesses took the
ground that there was virtual
pledge Of statehood. One speaker,
whose official status gave his words
more weight than in other cases,
made the following remark, which
could not fail to keep alive the
thought that there is a moral If
not legal obligation on the part
OF Congress to grant statehood to
Hawaii:
THE treaty (of 189D had been
approved by the Hawaiian govern
ment and sent to the Senate of
the United States with the favor
able recommendation of President
Mckinley. It was superseded by
joint resolution of Congress without
that treaty having been ratified, on
the promise Of the leaders of Con-
gress that the treaty and its pro-
visions would be observed by the
United States, but it was not actu-
ally put into the statute"
But the fate of Hawaii, regarding
statehood. does not hang upon such
hair-splitting interpretations Of the
law. It hangs upon the interna-
tional situation, apart from any
other considerations. And it hangs,
also upon the question of the COM
petence of the islanders to admin
lister their own affairs capably and
efficiently, through State Legis-
lature and an elected administra-
ton. At present the executive of
the territory is governor appointed
by the President. The legislature
is elected by the people of Hawaii.
One Of the "kamaaina haoles"-
old-timer from the mainland-com-
mented thus ON the situation in my
hearing the other day:
1T will take at least another
generation for the Hawaiians-not
to take into consideration the fully
Americanized Japanese-to learn
how to conduct their own affairs,
through elections and legislation.
They are still going to school re-
specting the business Of law-mak-
ing. Attendance upon the sessions
of the legislature brings this clearly
to view. With the most earnest
and honest efforts in the world,
they are still in tutelage I love
them and admire them, but I do
not believe that they are quite ready
for unguided and unsupervised self
government, as a State"
That may be a severe judgment.

Hawaii and Statehood

an integral part Of the territory Of
the United States"
That treaty was Withdrawn from
the Senate by President Cleveland
before 1t could be ratified. The
second treaty, that of 1897, reads:
THE Republic Of Hawaii hereby
cedes absolutely and without re-
serve to the United States of Amer
lea all rights of sovereignty of what
soever kind in and over the Hawai-
ian Islands and their dependencies,
and 1t Is agreed that all the ter
ritory of and appertaining to the
Republic of Hawaii is hereby an
nexed to the United States of Amer
lea under the name of the Terri
tory OF Hawaii"
That second treaty failing Of rati-
f1cation-not by reason of specific
opposition but for lack of time for
consideration by the Senate-a leg
islative act was passed by both
houses of the flfty-fifth Congress
and approved July 7, 1898, in the
following language:
Whereas the government of the
Republic Of Hawaii, having in due
form signifled it's consent, in the
manner provided by its constitution,
to cede absolutely and without re-
serve to the United States of Amer
lea all its rights of sovereignty of
whatever kind in and over the
Hawaiian Islands and their depen-
dencies, and also to cede and trans
fer to the United States the alb
solute fee and ownership of all pub
lie. government or crown lands,
public buildings or edifices, ports,
harbors, military equipment and all
other property Of every kind and
description belonging to the govern
ment of Hawaii, together with every
right and appurtenance thereunto
appertaining: Therefore
Resolved by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Con-
gress assembled. That said cession
is accepted. ratified and confirmed,
and that the said Hawaiian Islands
and their dependencies be and they
are hereby annexed as a part of
the territory of the United States
and are subject to the sovereign
dominion thereof. and that all and
singular the property and rights
hereinbefore mentioned are vested
IN the United States of America"
Approved in 1898.
This joint resolution was approved
July 7, 1898. 1t was followed, April
80, 1900. by an Act to Provide a
Form of Government for the Terri
tory Of Hawaii" which contained
the following language:
THAT the islands acquired by the
United States of America. under an
act of Congress entitled Joint
resolution to provide for annexing
the Hawaiian Islands to the United
States approved July 1898. shall
be known as the Territory OF
Hawaii"
This legalistic record establishes
the fact that the Hawaiian Islands
were annexed by the United States
and created as territory, without
any reference whatever to a pos
sible future as State. That, how
ever, does not preclude the organ
ization of the Territory as a State.

er there was pledge, explicit or
implied, that that status would be
granted to the islands when they
were annexed by the United States.
It is evident that there has been
a good deal Of wishful thinking OH
this subject by the advocates Of
statehood. For neither the treaty
of 1893. that which was submitted
to the Senate shortly after the revo-
luton which overthrew the sover-
eighty Of Queen Liliuokalani and
the organization Of the Republic Of
Hawaii. nor the treaty of 1897.
which was superseded in Congress
before ratification had been effect

ton, contained any language that is

Lose Vpers
Game 9 To Z

The Maple Leaf Softball team
met its first defeat of the season at
the hands of Vinewood Vipers.
Their downfall came IN the third
inning when Robert Meadows, the
starting pitcher, lost his control,
issuing four walks and two base
hits, one home run, giving the
Vipers six runs.
Clarence Wilson, Maple Leaf,
finished the game, allowing one hit
and three runs,
The Maple Leafs put on belated
rally netting seven runs which
proved not enough to pull the game
out of the fire.
The team seems to be gradually
hitting its stride-although outhit-
ting the Vipers three TO one they
ended on the short end Of a nine
