That Scparoto Iiaw
And Prosident Dolo said I be
lieve the United States will give us
a sop urate lavy by which we can get
laborers hero
Referring to executive document i
part I Fifty third Congress we get
an idea of tho kind of soparato law
expected by President Dolo to fit
tho peculiar conditions and needs
of labor referred to in President
McKinloys message In an inquiry
made into the form of labor required
by the planters this revelation
occurs a
Suppose ai contract laboror i
idling in the fields whatdoyou do
We dock hitn we ivo him only
half or three quarters of a day and
if ho keeps it up we retort to tho
law and have him arrested for re
fusing to work
What do you accomplish by put
ting him in jail
For the first offense he is ordered
back to work and ho has to pay tho
costs of court If ho refuses to
obey orders he is arrested again and
a light fiuo isinflloted which the
planter can pay and take out of his
wages or else he is put on the road
to work For tho third offense ho is
likely to got three months imprison
ment
Now the laws of the United States
make it unlawful to prpay trans
portation or in auy way assist the
importation of any alien uuder con
tract parole express or implied to
labor in the United States Tho
thirteenth amendment to our con
stitution which abolished slavery
provides that Noithor slavery nor
involuntary servitude except as a
punishment fdr crime whereof the
party shall have been duly convict
ed shall exist within tho United
States or any place subject to their
jurisdiction
Now the kind of law which Dole
believes will be given separately
to the islands provides for involun
tary servitude for it compels tho
performance of labor under penalty
of imprisonment
President Doles laws now in forco
aro perhaps the best definition of
what he believes will be permitted
by tho separate law necessary for
the islnuds
Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald
who has been in Washington lobby
ing for annexation as an agent of
Doles purposes in his report mado
last summer on returuiug from his
Hawaiian junket says officially
My investigations through the
Hawaiian Islands have brought to
my attention many new conditions
and phases of labor the most im
portant of which is tho Axial io
uonla that now infest tho islands
and predominate in numbers upon
the plantations I have soon 20000
barefooted laborers half of whom
work under a penal contract I havo
seen rewards offered for their arrest
when they violated their contract
aud deserted the plantation with
their number printed across their
photograph in convict stylo
Let it be remembered that every
law now on tho statute books of Ha
waii has been put thero by Dole or
remains thero by his sufferance He
has been the supremo oligarch of
that country for four yoars The
penal contract law aud the involun
tary servitude under it are therofore
regarded by him as necessary to the
industries of the islands aud their
continuance is what he believes will
bb permitted by a soparato law of
the United Slntos aftor annexation
If tho plantations could be run on
any other system ho has had four
years in which to demonstrate it
He haa had four years iu which to
abolish involuntary servitude Lin
coln began and olosed a war for pre
servation of the Union and freed
1000000 slaves in four yoars But
in that time Dole has not been able
to abolish penal contracts for labor
and uow holieves they will bo con
tinued by tho United Slates
We repeat this matter must bo
looked squarely in the face Either

Hawaii Which is it7 F Call
Sonator Perkins and Annexation
Much has been said and sung re
cently to keop up the waning cour
age of the annexationists but it is
all nullified aud vacatid by tho
very frank admissions of Senator
Perkins He declares tho treaty
foredoomed though he supports it
and is firm in his conviction that tho
joint resolution plan is so rankly un
constitutional that it cannot pass
Indeed ho is iuformed by several
supporters of tho treaty that they
will opposo tho joint resolution It
is imperative that this country take
advantage of tho situation created
in the East by the presence of tho
European powers aud their jealous
contontiou over the Chinese carcass
Their disposition aud their necessi
ties make them all subject to our
policy for the independence aud
neutrality of Hawaii
Senator Perkins knows clearly and
approves every reason against an
nexation aud he knows with equal
intelligence the reasons for the in
dependence aud autonomy of that
country California would ndvauco
to a very proud position in the
Union if Senator Perkins would pre
pare action for the Senate instruct
ing tho President to proceed with
a statement of our policy toward
Hawaii giving notice to the world
that wo abstain from aggrandize
ment here arid that like abstention
is expected of the other nations
and that any different policy on tho
part of auy of them will be regard
ed as unfriendly and intolerable
Such action would not be only
statesmanship of the first order but
it would also regain our uatioual
prestige as a people not only freo
but just aud would secure for us
just uow the only honorable promi
nence wo can possibly enjoy While
Europe stands with a carving kuife
over China aud the four powers are
disputing over the prospective spoils
wo may be distinguished by appear
ing with uo stolen birthright in our
possession
If Sonator Perkins could take the
leadership iu this policy California
would overywht re gaiu prestige that
would advance her interests and
dignify her people
This State should not appear to
always follow some other load Tho
positiou of Hawaii affects us more
than any othor part of the Union
A majority of our people opposo an
nexation A very large majority of
them object to Senator Morgans
offensive assumption of ownership
or leadership of California
Then lot our Republican Sonator
lead aud we can assure him lie will
havo the pooplo nt hiH back S F

Tho Meanest Han
About the meanest man 1 over
knew said the -steady liar was a
follow over in Indiana His little
boy got a leg cut off iu a sawmill
aud the old villain had a uoodon
log made for the kid of green
willow in the hope that it might
grow as the boy did and save him
the expense of getting a new one so
often- -Cincinnati linqttirer
Of Honest Parents
My oppoueut shouted the ora

that my mother took in washing
She did aud what is more to tho
point she always sent it back
Aftor that there was nothing to
do but cast a majority vote for the
man whose parent showed such
evidenco of porfoct honesty and
attention to duty Indianapolis
