Dear Sir: IVrmit rno to wjuvss my
dissent from the constitutional vi.-ws
so repeatedly presented in tin- Adverti
ser. I believe that they are both un
sound from a legal standpoint and
charged with possible injury of tho
gravest kind to this community.
My view is that the constitution of
the United States belongs to us; that
it became extended to these Islands
by the act of annexation, ami that no
power exists which can deprive us of
it. We can not secede; neither can we
be cast off. We are part and parcel
of the United States 1 deny that the
Constitution is subject to the control
of Congress. It can not be made a
matter of legislation. Your argument
that it does not apply to these Islands
until Congress so enacts would imply
that Congress could extend it or not":
or could extend it ami then take it
away; or could take it away from anv
other portion of the coiintrv. To mv
mind the better theory is that the Con
stitution applied by its own inherent
rorce the moment the act of political
miikjii .ir couiineicu. ii applied as
a necessary incident to the status giv
en us as a part of the United States.
Annexation having been brotiKht about
in a constitutional method, by the ex
ercise of both the treaty-makinir and
legislative powers of the two countries.
constitutes a contract of the very high
est conceivable chasacter. We in Ha
waii should be the last to concede that
one party to the contract by its sole
act can destroy it: as. for instance,
by making us a colony. Can Congress
decree that we shall be taken to be a
part of Guam? Not unless it repudi
ates the contract by which we were
made a part of the United States. The
statutes of the United States must be
extended by act of Congress; the dis
tinction between statutes and the Con
stitution in this connection is obvious.
There seems to exist in certain quar
ters much nervousness as to the con
sequences which would follow if it were
admitted that the Constitution of the
United States is now the law of the
land; notably amongst oilier instances,
with the apologists for contract labor.
We ought to all rejoice that that insti
tution is moribund. We could take
more pride in ourselves if this blot
could have been removed by act or our
own before the enactment of a plan of
government for us by Congress.
You quote Senator Morgan, but the
quotation does not support your con
clusion. We all know he considers us
a part of the United States. Wc all
know that his Americanism Is not (if
the thin and watery variety aud that
his respect for the Constitution is
punctilious. He will never be found
holding that the Constitution docs not
extend to every nook and cranny of
the United States. He considers the
situation here anomalous: probably
because he takes it that two constitu
tions, or one and part of another, ap
ply ami obtain at the same time. That
of the United States is the only one of
any vitality. How little of that of the
Republic of Hawaii remains will be
CALIFORNIA HARNESS appreciated when it is remembered
SHOP is now prepared to 'that not a single officer of the local
furnish at short notice all irnvernnient holds ol!ire under it. Thev
all hold under President McKinley.
His power to appoint is surely not de
rived from the constitution of the He
public of Hawaii. N'o more of that re
mains than can be construed to be mu
nicipal law under the terms of the joint
resolution of annexation. Would it be
held that after Congress shall extend
the laws of the United States io Ha
waii that the constitution of Hawaii
still remains in force? Must a consti
tutional convention be convened to re
peal it piece-meal? Having served its
purpose in helping to tide over a tran
sition period, that constitution has
passed into history, together with tlw
republic founded upon it. It was
abrogated by necessary intendment by
the verv act of union.

Hatch correctly states, this 1 1 1 c I - U

with the Unit'd States, whic'a secured
to Hawaii whatever rights any terri
tory has under the Constitution and
laws. The contract is executed and i
in full force. It is the in: eta ion of
the administration to carry out this
special contract by further legislation
which will in nt way whatever dis
criminate against Hawaii. The ene
mies of Hawaii will, no d'ubt. make
some effort to secure laws dicriinia.'t
